    A month ago, Noobcrew decided to allow sand gens for players to use for their own private use on their own islands. Some players have asked if they can use the sand to make glass, gravel, sandstone, etc. from those gens & sell/drop/trade/gift it to others. This question was addressed today.

    Sand Gens
    The Sand/Gravel gen question was asked of Noobcrew, regarding the use & trading of items from Sand Gens, and anything the dup'd sand is used for.

    Answer: Duplicated items come from a bug, and are not intended to become part of the game economy in any way. They have been allowed to be used as construction material for a player's own island. Any player who desires to use sand, sandstone, glass, gravel, etc. for their own private use, is allowed... but not to be shared with others /used off your island.

    All items which come from Sand/Gravel Gens, including all sandstones, glass stuff, etc. can be used on your own island only (where the sand gen is located), but not traded, dropped, or taken off your island.

    I made one, but I sort of dislike how people used it to play against the legit rules of Skyblock. But I guess donors like me also get unfair advantages also, so yeah. Mojang should make a real, legit sand/gravel gen.

    Sand gens dont work anymore,and I'm pretty upset about this.I sold 2 diamonds a while back,$2000,to make the sand gen,and now it doesnt work.Then I found a new version that still works,but it doesnt work on the server.I ended up spending even more money on trying to make the new one.I'm pretty upset.I'm not sure if this is an error within the server that might be fixed,or if Noobcrew decided to remove it.

    Mojang fixed the terrible bug of sand gens. And its your fault that you wanted to play Skyblock unfairly. And $2000 for one sand generator? It would only cost like 10 bucks. Noobcrew cant do anything about the sand gens, and he barely let us make them.

    Assumably, because of this, Wouldn't Obsidain be illegal to sell as well? seeing how it can be generated. Or is this only applying to the glitch type of generations?

    Well the obsidian generator isn't really a glitch. Otherwise, Mojang would've fixed it LONG ago. Besides, it is pricey to make. You need redstone, Diamond pick, water, lava, ect.

    And, according to you, buying a literal ton of redstone and a few thousand of iron is less expensive?
    The only expensive part of the obsidian gen is the diamond. All you need is a coop partner with one a diamond pick, and boom! Insta nether portal.

    Nether doesn't work. That's why I said it is pricey. You are using all of that for a simple black block that gives lava, which is the only use. Besides, most people don't have multiple lava. They would have to transport lava between cobble gen and obsid. And "according to you, buying a literal ton of redstone and a few thousand of iron is less expensive?" I never said it costs iron. And it IS pricey to make, I never said anything about inviting a donor. You are really making me angry you know.
