100 (or so) Scratchers Simulate a Massive Civilization in Minecraft!
I have an idea: About a week into the server, you should spawn in some kind of structure that contains some nether materials such as quartz, blaze rods, nether wart, and netherite, as well as various building blocks such as blackstone, netherack, and soul sand. It still shouldn't be possible to enter the end or spawn the Wither, but it at least gives us the ability to use some of these resources. They would be very limited though.

(#702)why wouldn't you be allowed to change it though? if it's set to your real name that would be a huge privacy issueAnother announcement:
whitelist is off, but anyone who is not a scratcher and joins will be instantly permabanned. also, if you join with an alt account, your main account and alt will be banned. and if you still evade and it becomes a problem, you'll have ruined the server for everyone, so congratulations, you terrible person.
An alt account for scratch or minecraft? I want to join but my minecraft username is the same as my real name because I have it on my Nintendo switch, my parents would notice if I changed it.

It's not because I don't play any online games on my switch.

Server plugins such as SilkSpawners (which drop a spawner type with NBT data, which tells the server what egg to put in it when placed) have existed for a long time.But how would you use them without spawn eggs?can we also silk touch spawners? that'd be legendaryI have an idea: About a week into the server, you should spawn in some kind of structure that contains some nether materials such as quartz, blaze rods, nether wart, and netherite, as well as various building blocks such as blackstone, netherack, and soul sand.

I don't know when the first plugins for that came around, but by actively searching you can easily find ones that are 10+ years old.
These plugins also do not require spawn eggs thanks to the NBT data it contains, and some have plenty of configurement options, such as requiring no silk/a higher level of silk touch, ability to craft them and what the recipe is, some allow stacking several spawners into one spawner, and more.
Edit:
here's one such example from 2012 that works between 1.8.0 to 1.20.1, and this is a personal favorite of mine whenever someone needs me to add a silkspawners plugin to a server.

Empty spawners are good for decoration.But how would you use them without spawn eggs?can we also silk touch spawners? that'd be legendaryI have an idea: About a week into the server, you should spawn in some kind of structure that contains some nether materials such as quartz, blaze rods, nether wart, and netherite, as well as various building blocks such as blackstone, netherack, and soul sand.

I have never noticed this, although that's likely because both accounts are named Peneren.Another announcement:
whitelist is off, but anyone who is not a scratcher and joins will be instantly permabanned. also, if you join with an alt account, your main account and alt will be banned. and if you still evade and it becomes a problem, you'll have ruined the server for everyone, so congratulations, you terrible person.
An alt account for scratch or minecraft? I want to join but my minecraft username is the same as my real name because I have it on my Nintendo switch, my parents would notice if I changed it.
dang, parental controls suck. I remember having to format memory on my Nintendo 3ds cause I was tired of being blocked from playing dragon quest (it was marked mature over gambling)
and to those of you saying that having a Microsoft account with a different name linked to the switch account will prioritize the microsoft username, it won't.
I accidentally doxxed my irl name on a streamer's geyser server I modded a while back bc of this.
For example, my Nintendo acc is Bowman06 (not the one I doxxed myself with don't worry) and my microsoft is LOL_MC_GAMER, Minecraft will send one username to any server when joining it, and it will always prioritize the switch account name, not the microsoft account name.

It still shouldn't be possible to enter the end or spawn the Wither, but it at least gives us the ability to use some of these resources. They would be very limited though.Here are some more specifications (Nova, feel free to change some of these around if you want):
- There will only be enough netherite for 2 or 3 full sets, that way not every single player has a full set of netherite armour.
- The recipe for brewing stands will be turned off, and there will be 2 stands in the structure. That way not everyone will be able to have a lot of potions. (The blaze rods in the structure are for fueling the brewing stands).
- There will be very limited amounts of various important potion resources like blaze rods, nether wart, magma cream, and ghast tears.
- There will be a lot of blackstone, netherack quartz, glowstone, and other nether building blocks available for players wishing to build with those materials.
- There will only be 2 netherite upgrade templates. You can still duplicate them though.
- Along with the upgrade templates should be 4 of each trim template.
- All items without block forms are hidden in chests around the structure.

really great ideas so far!I have an idea: About a week into the server, you should spawn in some kind of structure that contains some nether materials such as quartz, blaze rods, nether wart, and netherite, as well as various building blocks such as blackstone, netherack, and soul sand. It still shouldn't be possible to enter the end or spawn the Wither, but it at least gives us the ability to use some of these resources. They would be very limited though.Here are some more specifications (Nova, feel free to change some of these around if you want):About enchantments: It should only be possible to get level 1 or 2 basic enchantments. Here's a list of enchantments I feel should be enabled:
- There will only be enough netherite for 2 or 3 full sets, that way not every single player has a full set of netherite armour.
- The recipe for brewing stands will be turned off, and there will be 2 stands in the structure. That way not everyone will be able to have a lot of potions. (The blaze rods in the structure are for fueling the brewing stands).

- There will only be 2 netherite upgrade templates. You can still duplicate them though.
- Along with the upgrade templates should be 4 of each trim template.
- All items without block forms are hidden in chests around the structure.
And for potions, only the level 1 potions should be available, so anything that requires glowstone or redstone to will not be obtainable. You can still turn them into splash potions though.

If I find it, I will take them all for myself :-)I have an idea: About a week into the server, you should spawn in some kind of structure that contains some nether materials such as quartz, blaze rods, nether wart, and netherite, as well as various building blocks such as blackstone, netherack, and soul sand.

Here's a list of enchantments I feel should be enabled:
- There will only be enough netherite for 2 or 3 full sets, that way not every single player has a full set of netherite armour. significant advantage for the few players who even have the chance to spend said netherite on swords and axes, i would just personally limit it to pickaxes and armor as KB res and a slight mining speed isnt too powerful in most cases
- The recipe for brewing stands will be turned off, and there will be 2 stands in the structure. That way not everyone will be able to have a lot of potions. (The blaze rods in the structure are for fueling the brewing stands). once again, an overwhelming advantage to the two players that manage to get that. I would instead suggest spawning crates toward the center of the map that contain potions instead, and just ban the recipes for brewing stands. ill put a suggestion for a loot table later if you want to use it, nova.
- There will be very limited amounts of various important potion resources like blaze rods, nether wart, magma cream, and ghast tears.
- There will be a lot of blackstone, netherack quartz, glowstone, and other nether building blocks available for players wishing to build with those materials. Why not just have the nether open, but with a small border then? a small area of 4x4 chunks or so should prevent people from finding fortresses in a area that small.
- There will only be 2 netherite upgrade templates. You can still duplicate them though. as i said above, please limit this from swords and axes.
- Along with the upgrade templates should be 4 of each trim template. I personally believe there should be no limit to these decor trims, as they are purely decor and provide no real combat/exploration value.
- All items without block forms are hidden in chests around the structure.
And for potions, only the level 1 potions should be available, so anything that requires glowstone or redstone to will not be obtainable. You can still turn them into splash potions though. Read my above comment on the potential for crate loot. This makes it so staff would have full control of what potions are circulating around, and prevents broken ones such as strength from getting mass produced.
- Unbreaking no mending tho, it ruins the value of having to mine diamonds, but unbreaking 3 should be fine theoretically
- Sharpness
- Protection (All variants) Limit basic protection levels to II without touching other forms, it indirectly buffs the value of specialty protections while preventing a full 96% total damage decrease on everything.
- Power
- Knockback This and punch should be lowered to tier I only, kb is extremely annoying and there is almost no counterplay to this outside of netherite, which is already going to be rare.
- Punch
