These are the following "problems" that I can find with Survival in its current state:

- Slimefun doesn't fit well in Survival, it is a plugin that would be a better fit in Modded Minecraft. The advanced machines and systems that you can make are also way too complicated for the average player, especially for the younger players. I personally don't have a huge problem with them, but I've had to do loads of research outside of SFT in order to understand how everything works(for example on their Github repo).

- I'd like to see more focus towards the endgame of Survival on SFT. It usually just takes a few days(if not less) to make it to the "endgame" of Minecraft depending on how much you play. We can assume that the vast majority of our players are situated in the endgame so adding content/plugins or changing something to make endgame more fun should be a huge priority. The mining and fishing plugins are a great example of this, but I believe we need more things to do like with mining and fishing.

- The endgame activities like the mining and fishing plugins only cover 2 specific "branches" of activities. For example, there is no plugin that would allow farmers to progress further into the endgame of Survival like there is for mining and fishing. I know that there are plenty of farmers on SFT that would love a plugin that would function in a similar way as the fishing/mining plugin does.

- Regarding the economy, I believe that there should be more alternative ways of making money on SFT, the only big way to make money on SFT is having a successful autoshop or by doing mining/fishing. This makes it very repetitive in the end, I'm not saying that it should be easier to make money, just that more methods of doing so would benefit the players as they won't burn out while doing the same thing over and over again to get the money that they can spend on survival projects. Some emporium price adjustments could be made so that doing other activities are also viable, such as woodcutting, farming/herbalism, alchemy, taming/breeding animals, hunting mobs, or similar. Mining and fishing are so OP compared to other activities that it makes doing anything else feel like a waste of time from a "money-making perspective".

- Better rewards in general. Again, from a money-making perspective, voting/events/challenges, etc are not worth doing whatsoever if we only take the money into account. If the rewards were increased, we could assume that more players would be interested in participating. I've personally had that feeling a lot of times, why should I go do spleef to get 10-20k if I can do fishing/mining or similar to get 10x the reward? Voting is a different story, most people including myself only do it to support the server, but I'd assume that some people do it just for the rewards and the rewards aren't that "attractive" when you can do plenty of other activities and get similar(or better) return with less hassle.

- I think adding some sort of "Hunting" or battle mechanic that could serve as an activity would be interesting as well, just like we had the Elite Mobs in the past. I think if implemented correctly, with decent rewards, could be a success. Since there is no real PvP aspect of Survival atm, enchanting loads of gear is pretty much useless unless you just wanna look cool. Adding mobs or bosses of some sort that allows the player to get an attractive reward worth their time in comparison to the other activities like mining/fishing could be something really fun for the players. This would also let players help each other to face the mobs/bosses. Alternatively that it is implemented as a "minigame" of sorts like the mob arena minigame we used to have(unless it's still a thing, I have no idea) but with decent rewards so that it is worth doing.

I'll edit my post if I come up with anything else, but that's all I can think of for now. I hope these pointers help! 

I don't see how Sliemfun is an issue at all. If you don't wanna mess with slimefun then don't but I feel like a lot of people actually like it so why not keep it in? It doesn't interfere with anything in survival if you don't wanna use it or play with it.

We've sort of been forced to use it though... Because of the hopper change. All of my farms etc broke because of the change and now I'm forced to do a ton of slimefun and I'm guessing a lot of people are in the same situation.

Your not forced to use it. Make your farms smaller or whatever. You can still have 100 hoppers

The reasons I may have stopped playing are because:
-l I used to grind for sftmmo and adding skills to my tools but we no longer have that cause of mojang and their annoying plugin breaking updates. Maybe get something similar?

- I don't really have much personal stuff to do most of it is volunteer work that I have to finish (such as staffing/architect things) maybe add a questing plugin with its own world with dungeons?

- this is mostly personal but I have been busy irl to be able to play and whenever I get on my computer I'm usually asked if I finished doing stuff such as clean the house, do school work, etc mostly cause I annoy my sister whenever I play or have fun.

I have started to play and work on my autoshop more often though but doing stuff such as quests, treasure hunts, etc in between would make me stay online more often.

Pyromining is like sftmmo. The vessels part. Check it out bro

2. Slimefun- Raise the chances / percentage of getting "sifted ore" and lower the chances / percentage of getting flint.

I think we have addressed this before, but the drop rates are hard coded into slimefun. These can only be changed by slimefun devs and they are not going to change it (already raised the ticket with them about it)

I thought this was in the code or the file? we not able to change it on our end?

When you say current backpack issues does that also include the gilded backpack also? which is the biggest one there is.


1. Slimefun- Some of the items required for the "End game" machines are stupid af. like nether stars. no one is going to pay 15 mil for 1 nether start to make 1 machine when realistically you need quite a bit of them. I think we should make other recipes as we did with the cargo system.

2. Slimefun- Raise the chances / percentage of getting "sifted ore" and lower the chances / percentage of getting flint.

3, If none of those things are addressed then maybe make a Admin Autoshop that sells the slimefun minerals because some of them are about impossible to get / obtain, and some just take ABSOLUTELY FOREVER! to acquire when you need a bit of it.

I don't think I have much else tbh. My only issue is slimefun related.

So honestly didn't even know this was a thing. Do you mind explaining what xp bank even is or how we use it?? Etc...
@Towelie

[I STRONGLY AGREE WITH THIS!]

I know it's a tad late now, but perhaps also some extra time before you are dropped from your vote tier? Perhaps an extra 12 or 24 hours, it won't discourage people from voting daily as the rewards are still worth it, but it will stop people from losing all their progress just because they forgot or were busy. It my even have the opposite effect, encourage people to vote more often as there's less of a dis-satisfaction of missing a day.

I can completely agree with this because there are days where im like 2 hours late and ive lost tier 4 and tier 5 simply because I couldn't vote. I STRONGLY AGREE WITH THIS!

Maybe add some

- Crying Obsidian
- Sponges
- PyroMining Stuff
- PyroFishing Stuff
- Maybe add a voucher or something for premium (i.e - like $5 on the highest tier)
- Player heads
- Enchanted Books

That;s it so far. Let me know what you think

Are these things you put on your keychain?

Looks great, however one thing is incorrect: The vessels have random quirks, not only the quirk listed in /mine journal

Added, thanks man!

Ooooo nice! I'm gonna go ahead and pin this for easy access.

Thank you

I am hurt that you thought my post was ugly .-. yet i forgive you for taking the time and doing pyromining where i have been lazy lolz

I'm sorry I love you lol

[What is PyroMining?]

What is PyroMining?
PyroMining is a plugin that brings life and fun to mining! It adds extra things like fluxes and gemstones to the deal of mining plus a lot more! It brings mining to life!

Features

-Fluxes-
Fluxes can be found from mining ALL ores.
- Basic fluxes will drop from Overworld ores.
- Blazed fluxes will drop from Nether ores.
(Fluxes can be sold to /mine shop for money(emp) They currently have no other uses.

-Gemstones-
Gemstones drop from each ore apart from Gold and Iron ore. You can either sell them using /mine shop or right click them to identify their quality which can either increase or decrease the overall sell price of the gemstone.

Gemstones have a 5 different qualities to them which can increase or decrease the price you can sell them for. To check their quality right click the gemstone in your hand and it will show you its quality. The qualities that are possible are listed below.

Ruined
Badly Damaged
Damaged
Worn
Pristine

-Rune Dust-
Rune dust is gained from refining `Mysterious Dust` in a Refinery. (`Mysterious Dust` is found from just mining normal ores.)

-Refinery-
A refinery is needed to process `Mysterious Dust`. To create a refinery place a Dropper facing upwards and a fence post ontop of it.

Place the `Mysterious Dust` inside the refinery and punch the fence post to process the `Mysterious Dust` into its different components.

Alternatively, you can place all 8 pieces of a vessel in it and punch the fence post to craft a vessel!


-Runes / Rune Guardians-
Runes are obtained by killing rune guardians. Rune Guardians are mini-bosses that can be summoned using Rune Dust which is obtained from `Mysterious Dust`.

To summon a Rune Guardian, click on a Redstone Ore with Rune Dust and it will open a menu, Once the menu pops up you have the option to choose which guardian you would like to spawn. There is a cooldown between spawning guardians!

Runes are needed to upgrade and level up your Singularity.


-Zeta-
Zeta is the custom currency used in PyroMining. Zeta is used to upgrade passives and remove vessels from pickaxes, it is also used for creating vessels in a refinery!

-Vessels-
Vessels are essentially custom enchantments for pickaxes. To craft a vessel you need all 8 pieces of the vessel which can be obtained as fossils from artifacts. You need to place all 8 pieces of a vessel into a refinery and punch the fence post to create it. Vessels require you to guess the correct requium order to be able to kill the boss to officially add the vessel to your pickaxe! You are able to view your previous requium attempts inside of the /mine vessels menu.

- Information 1/4
Each vessel has unique abilities reflecting its element type. The more vessels you add to your pickaxe the stronger the next level of the vessel will be. To level up a vessel simply add the same vessel to the same pickaxe (quirk doesn't matter) Once you have completed the vessel it will level that certain vessel up on your pickaxe.

- Information 2/4
Requiums: Three of these are needed in the correct order to defeat and damage the vessel boss. You can randomly guess and try to find out the correct order or you can kill thralls. Killing thralls will give you progress to unlocking the correct requium needed for that slot. Once you obtain 100% in a certain slot it will tell you the correct requium to use. (You can view your previous requium attempts for that vessel in /mine vessels and selecting the (previous attempts book). You obtain requiums from artifacts!

- Information 3/4
Quirks: Each vessel has a chance to come with a unique quick which gives it a unique ability. The abilities are listed below.

Fire Damage Immunity
Projectile Immunity
Slowness Immunity
Life Steal
Armor Piercing
Enhanced Speed
None

- Information 4/4
Thralls: Thralls are little creatures that spawn when mining certain ores. Killing these will give you anger progress and progress towards unlocking the correct requiums. There is a 2 minute cooldown between finding thralls.

Once you kill the first phase you will get a rune to summon the next phase. You summon Oracles by using Charged Oracleite on Emerald Ore. Oracles will drop items used in the plugin and for blacksmithing.

When stuff gets added I will update this post. @Chocobo123456 was the first one to make the OG post I just added a lot more and made it nicer!

So, after at least ~30h spent trying to upgrade to 1.14 and then to 1.14.1, something is very clear.
world1 is corrupted. Sadly, since 1.13.2 changed the world format, there are no tools that can allow us to save this world. Upon migrating to 1.14.1, this corruption (which manifests itself very rarely in 1.13.2) breaks world saving, meaning any of the worlds don't save either (meaning, for those less minecraft savy of you that every block you place will re-appear at a restart, and so on.).

It doesn't bring me pleasure to announce this, but we will have to do a world reset when we update to 1.14.1 (the exact timing of that was not yet determined).
We will however allow all players to transfer a building. For owners of huge buildings / autoshops / etc, we will do our best to transfer over, but no guarantees can be given (due to limitations with worldedit / minecraft / etc).

This seems completely unavoidable, believe me, we tried EVERYTHING. and I mean EVERYTHING.

I ask that you remain calm and continue playing. I am still working on finding a workaround, but for now, after weeks of research and trial it seems impossible.

Are we just moving builds or is our balance and items being transferred as this isnt a planned reset and a unconventional reset die to the world being corrupted like America's goverment...

I don't think we need a economy reset. I think everything is okay the way it is. Just make more ways to make money.
I personally think the emp pricing is a little bit ridiculous but that's not my call.


P.S. I feel if we get a economy reset I wouldn't be on anymore....

I would rather have storage wars and other events than this. since we do spleef in regular events quite frequently.

Do you just hate swearing and people who curse? You can now block that!
Just turn your Personal Censor (plugin developed by @Nafi) on. It will censor more cursewords, with more and more being added each day (feel free to report via forum pm if a curse makes it across the censor)

Commands:
- /pcensor on (turn your censor on
- /pcensor off

NOTE: Personal Censor only blocks the bad words for you. So if you have the censor on and you type a bad word, it will not be censored.

lol I feel like this was made because of me xD lmfao

I think we should tweak the item rename tags. If we buy them from the shop we should be able to name anything not just armor/tools/etc. like thats pointless and not fun.

That's what I think, coming from a person that buys a lot from the shop.
