Its not useless, but 20 minutes is overkill, when using a max efficiency stone generator ur pickaxe will break because 20 minutes is just too long. My suggestion is make it maybe a minute or two long so you cant spam it and miners can mine in peace. It would make no impact on stone gen lag because u can already bypass it by having a mob grinder next to ur generators. Its just a minor inconvenience that should be fixed. Thx

 

im pretty sure they added it so stop people from afk stone farming and having chests overfill and tons of entities on the ground

 

i mean i’ve already made a suggestion on this and no one responded (staff wise) and nothing happened so i’m for certain no change will be made to this even tho it is overkill. probably best option would be to have a secondary pickaxe and if ur trying to afk it, maybe just be there to make the switch idk what ur plan is with it but yea. idk. i hate the 20 minute cooldown as well.

 

That's exactly what the entity cleaning plugin is for.

 

One more thing to add, in my personal opinion, if someone supports the server by at least 45 usd (skylord rank) they should have the ability to repair at any time, no one that spends money on the server will be stupid enough to try and crash and ruin it

 

I support, but I wonder if it was implemented to help the economy of the server? Like a guard against users afking and mining for hours on end. I would like to hear staffs’ thoughts

 

that is exactly why it was implemented XD

You'll be surprised by what people do..

Imo 20 minute cooldown is very decent for normal use. The only real time I can see someone having an issue with it is with mass farming. So I really don't think it should be changed

 

the repair cooldown does not do anything about users afking and mining for hours on end because you can just hit mobs with ur mending pickaxe and keep mining (+-5 seconds time loss) all this cooldown is doing is causing a minor inconvenience. Removing it would be a great quality of life update since neither does it remove afk mining nor stone gen lag machines. I hope i cleared this out.

 

I think 20m is a bit long, even if lowered to 5m it would make a world of a difference. Like dresiarz22 said, with KA or simply killing a mob, it is easy to use mending to prevent pickaxes from breaking while mining stone.

I think the lowered cooldown would affect mainly the use of shears, which break very very fast.

edit: no cooldown would be amazing, but I don't know the reasoning behind them adding a 20m cooldown
