So earlier today noobcrew removed the ability for silk touch items to pick up grass blocks. I think this is a horrible idea because:
-Silk touch is now practicaly worthless! What are you supposed to do with it? Pick up ores? what ores! Pick up leaves? thats why shears were invented! Pick up ice? WTF WHO NEEDS ICE? the only use for it I can think of is picking up ender chests. BUT THATS IT.
-It makes iron almost impossible to get unless you a donator and have a mob spawner. They will practicaly rule the trade! Player made mob spawner floors don't work for crap which makes /warp mob the only place players find zombies, and seriously, you get killed in 3 or less seconds when you go there.
-New players will have to wait 16 DAYS just to get one type of mob!
-This will encourage people to farm islands to get dirt, since you soon wont be able to buy grass anymore so players will have no way of getting more dirt on their island.
-This makes the items villagers sell at spawn for grass uselesss, as players will be spending all there grass to just get a single mob on their island. Hang on leeme just punch some numbers into my calculator here, ok players will have to wait 80 DAYS before they can start buying that stuff, Pigs, cows, sheep, ocelots and wolves are most new players priority to get before they start buying redstone/pearls/iron.
-Any existing iron will have their price "sky"rocket.
-Honestly zombies drop iron ingots way to rarly and the scarcity of iron will be felt server wide.

Sorry I accidentaly pushed f5 before and it deleted all the stuff I wrote -_- The other one was way more detailed..

 

Noobcrew intends this idea because people were using silk touch pick and go to other islands pick it up and sell it, and thats why noobcrew removed it, also u can use it for a stone gen if u have 1.

 

Ok, There is to some extent some sense behind that, but is that really an abuse of Silk Touch Issue? I think not. It's more about people griefing others. I don't think Noobcrew made a good move on this because by doing this, it makes it is basically punishing everyone in the community when he should just be punishing the people actually taking the Grass Blocks from other islands.
This also makes it harder for People to build certain projects. We can no longer transfer the grass blocks we have to another location on our island. We are going to have to slowly build a line where grass would grow in order to move the grass without completely destroying it. That is my opinion about it and I really hope this issue get's resolved.

 

Whoa hang on, it's not players that are doing that! it's donators and *cough* moderators (such as mage49) spawning masses of mobs! You said before today that about 1.5k chickens were spawned in like 10 mintues, THERE IS NO WAY PLAYERS COULD DO THAT! musta been someone going crazy with spawn mob commands!
If you don't belive me then check my post in the report section about mage49 spawning a few cows on me...

 

Ahem, Paranoid?
Also, I really think picking up grass should be allowed, I had a big grass growing place, now I have to move it with PISTONS?
Also, how about mcycilium?

 

I don't think so because somebody could give someone a silk touch shovel, have them dig up their island, and give the shovel and grass back. Then that person would create a new island and the process repeats.

 

Snooze107 as princeofmog said, thats not a problem with silk touch thats a problem with greifers and island farmers. And also noobcrew, how are people supposed to get 60 grass a day with silk touch? To get grass you need dirt but trading dirt is illegal. Therefore people with silk touch can only get the same 1 grass each day (its 1 grass not 2, if you have ever tried voting it says you must wait 24 hours not 12). It just makes manoeuvring grass soo much eazier.

 

For the record, it's 2 grass per day.
There are 2 voting things.
vote.skyblock.net
vote2.skyblock.net

I find it odd that you are trying to correct the forum/server owner on his own system...

 

Also, I use my silk touch pickaxe to grab leaves, mine my smooth stone generator, and pick up glowstone and glass without it shattering.

 

I don't get why everyone has to move all their stuff so much. Like with their spawners, they place it then are like I WANT TO MOVE IT 20 TIMES >.>
Also if you wanted to move grass just dig it up with out silk touch, then with a grass block from /vote or a kit, let it spread to the dirt to make it grass again.

 

It really isn't very hard.

 

OK!
*Waits until the appocalipse and grass still doesn't grow*
It takes SO LONG

Is it possible to have a plugin that enables mob spawners to be mined and placed again? That would save the mods a lot of time, and it would be simpler.

 

I think you should be able to pick up grass with a NORMAL shovel. There should be a plugin that disables grass to be picked up with a SILK TOUCH shovel. Anyway, there should be more prizes for trading the grass because I vote a lot.

 

I think that there should be less grass trades. Grass is supposed to be a valueable item, but now it has a set price, and that price isn't very high.

 

Everyone can get 81 grass, but now they can't get it, also, setting grass as the basis doesn't seem like a good idea

 

on a starter island there is 27grass[including the block under the chest and tree even if its dirt when you break them] 50dirt[2 and 3 layers], 3 sand and one bedrock

 

And how do you know that? ARE YOU SECRETLY FROM THE NSA?!?!?!?!

 

Exactly right, and telltale when some looters raid islands, lol.

 

close enough
