    People not aware of the bug with grinders right now. In these grinders you usually expect mobs to fall and die... they are designed for afk collection of loot such as sheep grinders for wool. The problem is that currently if the sheep merge before they fall then only one dies and the rest pile up around you and walk around. Some are merged and some are not, and it leads to thousands of sheep in one small area causing tons of lag. Additionally people are confused because when they log in it says "mob spawners are now merged" while I think he meant to make it say "mobs from spawners are now merged".

    I'm not sure if this happens all the time but yesterday at spawn I saw a merged dog that was tamed and sitting. When the merged wolves that were not tamed moved, it also moved the sitting dog. So there was a dog sliding across spawn. Might be the same with cats...

    Some players need to adjust the the afk killing.
    I have tested that when stacked mobs getting killed by lava, it does not stack with the collection of mobs below. therefore it causes lag
    To reduce lag, remove lava and kill manually as mobs will stack together. Finally add lava dispencer down the bottom, so if players are done with the grinding, players can press the pressure plate and the lava can kill the rest of the sheep

    I checked out the update and I am safe to say it officially sucks.

    I see there to be some controversy towards this no implement into the server.
    Perhaps we should just see how thing go, if it causes more harm than good I'd suggest it would be best to stay the way things used to be.

    In my opinion, this was a terrible addition. Don't take it personally Cypriot, your server has had good additions to help the community and/or make Skyblock much more fun and interesting, I'll say.

    Now, may I run through why:

    - It will be made easier than ever to grind animals and mobs such as the ones at /warp mob & /warp animal. This will dramatically effect the economical values of desired building materials such as wool among other resources.
    - It will mess up the aesthetic values for mobs, when people purposely spawn mobs for the sheer beauty, for display on one's island.
    - It overall doesn't look pleasing to the eye and ruins what people want in the game, the realisticality.
    - It stops mob mating! Although this doesn't effect everyone on this server due to the /spawnmob command, this does remove a key game feature, one can say.

    Thanks for reading and using your precious time to see my 2 cents. I'm interesting in Cypriot's take on my opinion.

    Very interesting! However, once I kill all the mobs down to two, they separate.

    I like this change, it makes it where I don't have to run around trying to kill the mobs, I can just kill them easily because they are merged.

    Named animals won't merge (at least I think) as they have a different ID

    Cyp wants to know if there's problems, and hear people's opinions.. Lmao what even are you trying to achieve?
