    Flying machines are currently not allowed within the server rules. I understand the reason why is because in the past flying machines have been used for griefing. In the past banning them did not really effect gameplay, but now with the 1.19 update many farms use flying machines to harvest crops. Since flying machines now have a reason other than griefing they should be allowed within the rules for farms.

    Banning flying machines all together takes away from the skyblock (and minecraft) experience of trying to make automatic farms to collect every crop, make a shop to sell crops, or gather a lot of a certain crops for personal use.

    While flying machines may have only been used for griefing in the past, they have an actual IMPORTANT use now. Players with bad intentions exist and will grief regardless of what the rules say, so banning flying machines in my opinion really only harms players that want to play the game now.

    PLZ unban them so I can farm bamboo, sugarcane, and many other whacky crops in the most epic 1.19 way :)

    I like the idea, but I also understand the repercussions of allowing such devices. Primarily due to the issues with latency, the server would no doubt be worse off if they were allowed. I've seen many farms that work fine (including automated ones), without the need for a flying machine. It would be a really cool edition, as it's applications could go beyond farm as well, I'm just not sure that the benefit would outweigh the impact it could, potentially, have on the server running smoothly.

    If there is a way to enable them, while keeping it under control, then I think it would be a really thing for players to have! Just as long as they can't be flown into other islands, as that would be a serious issue. I'm curious to see what others think about the idea of flying machines...

    I love doing redstone, and I think flying machines are cool, but I'm gonna have to say no to this simply because of the sheer lag that these would create on this server. The server has been having regular hiccups for a while now, and flying machines would only add to the lag problem. If something was done to accommodate for more player traffic and redstone activity then I think this would be a good idea, but right now I don't think the server could handle flying machines, especially as more and more people would create them.

    Thank you for creating a suggestion!
    Unfortunately after looking at it we have decided that we will not be adding this feature. We felt like this would not be possible or needed in-game, so your suggestion has been declined. Feel free to create a new suggestion, we're always looking for new additions!
