babytheo and I are currently working on a large-scale public wool/dye farm. The farm will eventually include: 2 Sheep Grinder Modules, each with 70-80 sheep spawners (140-160 total), fully AFKable farming. 1 Skeleton Grinder, 10-50+ spawners, still to be determined... relatively AFKable farming. 1 Squid Grinder, 10-20+ spawners, still to be determined... fully AFKable farming. 1 Large Cactus Farm, fully AFKable collection. An area with 2-tall plants for "bone-mealing" and affordable blue-hue dyes, coal, and furnaces for sale. Multiple Sheep Stalls, which will house large stacks of sheep and lock from the inside, so people can dye the sheep their color of choice and farm the stack for large quantities of blue/green wool colors. We are currently looking for spawner donations, or for people to at least sell us spawners for 4 diamonds each. The island is still in progress of being built and is under /visit WoolCentral. The name will be changed in the near future, and designs for all the grinders/farms aren't finalized yet. We realized that the sheep grinder on mingo_x's island works, but is relatively small, so we wanted to make a larger island dedicated to just wool/dye farming to fit the need of the server (and my questionable wool addiction). For reference, the sheep grinder on the mingo_x island is 40 total spawners, divided into 2 modules (20 spawners each). There are 2 chests at /visit WoolCentral, 1 for selling spawners, and 1 for donating them, on the island right now. Everyone who donates spawners/diamonds/grass to the island will get a sign on the donation wall, when we finish it. Thanks everyone!
Yes, Theo has told me that a portion of the spawners in the farm you guys had left in-progress were yours. We have restarted with a slightly different design, send me a PM if you'd like to talk about it.
I'll be happy to donate an amount of spawners to you guys. I'll be on tomorrow, if that's alright for me to hand them over then!
Hopefully, due to spawners requiring a player to be within 16 blocks of them, it shouldn't lag unless everything is on at once. Thanks The farm that was in progress had 80-something spawners that were collected, I don't recall the exact number. For the record, I was planning on noting on the completed island that a large portion of the spawners belonged to you.
The placed spawners on the island when we were scrapping and restarting didn't exceed 90, so I can't speak to more than that many.
I know, we had only placed about 80 at the farm. I'm not sure who has the others, unless they are in your enderchest or something. Laini and Dough might have them too.
If your grinder is consistently causing lag to the server then staff reserve the right to remove you from the grinder by any way we see fit. This would be common sense. Causing lag is considered "griefing". Being AFK at a grinder is fine as long as you are not affecting the server performance to the point it affects everyone.
