PROGRAMMING HELP NEEDED
As you may recall, I mentioned that there was a special mod I wanted to add before I launched the sever, but I had to end up giving up on it after waiting too long. The developer seemed like he'd been making progress on it since, but he hasn't done anything in a long time so I'm calling on the community for help.

The mod that I wanted to add to the server is called ProxVC (Proximity Voicechat). I feel like this would make the server much more fun and would be better than Mumble. The mod that I linked to is for 7.2 and hasn't been updated since. The developer I've been talking to has been working on Better with Voice 2. Rather than porting ProxVC his mod is a total re-write of the system.

SO, WHAT DO I NEED FROM YOU?
If you want to see this added to the server I need help from talented Java programmers/Minecraft modders to either:
A). Fork ProxVC and update it to 7.3, or
B). Finish the Better with Voice 2 re-write and port it to 7.3

If you're interested in helping, please get in contact.

JUST ENOUGH BLOCKS ADDITION POLL
Should this mod be added? It makes some very tame block additions to the game (more mossy variants, wool stairs, stackable wool layers (carpets), dyed glass, and more).

Someone finally made an updated dark mode texture pack. Here's the post mirrored from the BTA Discord:

Dark mode for the most recent version of BTA! I made this in a couple hours on paint.net lmao.

No mod support planned, but feel free to use this pack as a base to make your own! If you submit any mod support in the post I'll add it to the pack (with credit of course).

(sorry for the double post i messed up the formating of the post lol)

MASSACRE OF CRAFTING TABLES AFTER CONFLICT WITH PUMPKINS
Sectarian violence spells an omen for peace

ORANGE MOUNTAIN - A sizable group of crafting table entities were found slaughtered after an attempted kidnapping of pumpkin entities in Orange Mountain this afternoon. After other fellow pumpkins stopped the kidnapping and rescued their comrades, the tables were turned on the tables.

Around seven corpses littered the area. Three heads were mounted on pikes, still dripping blood down them like dew on morning grass. Two others were splattered beyond recognition after being thrown off of a tall mob-farm nicknamed "The Kidney-stone." Most haunting of all, one crafting table was simply hanged until dead from a gallows. Around his neck hung not only the noose, but a sign. A single word, "HERETIC," standing in the middle of scribbles of angry, monstrous faces, was on said sign. The crafting table's face was stuck in a lifeless grimace as it swayed in the thunderous downpour.
Many residents near the area were shocked to the core. Many could only ask "what happened here?" in the face of such bloodshed. For a rural and peaceful area like the Orange Mountain, this was unheard of.

The Orange Mountain is a region centered around a solitary mound of earth which is to the west of Spawnhöl. The landscape is made almost entirely of scorched dirt and pumpkinoidal earth. This area is home to the pumpkin entities, and the notable resident HammerKoopa. You may know the Orange Mountains primarily for the striking colors, beautiful trees, and delicious pumpkin pie. Recently, this region is also the new home of the crafting table entities and notable resident Lovelace. Tensions were minuscule at first, and both parties were content to co-exist together. This dream of brotherhood went silently after the construction of a mob-farm.

The previously mentioned "Kidney-stone" is a rather primitive facility. It notably lacks any supports, funnels, or even baskets to collect mob drops. Made entirely out of cobblestone, and closely bordering the Orange Mountain itself, many criticized it for being aesthetically displeasing. Alongside the mob-farm, the land was flattened and a cobblestone shack was built bordering the pumpkin expanse. HammerKoopa was especially offended by the Kidney-stone, and was moved to action. He planted even more pumpkins along the entire west side of the Mountain. Around this time, the crafting tables also terraformed a section of the area for themselves. This was seen by the pumpkin entities as an incursion, calling it area "The Mockery." Tensions rose between the aesthetically-concerned pumpkins and the crafting table settlers.

A mercenary identified as Ashman offered his services to HammerKoopa. The two buildings in the crafting table expanse were heavily vandalized, though Koopa states he asked Ashman to tone down his initial plans. Lava was used, and an effigy with a sign stating "Pumpkins > Crafting Tables" was erected. While intending more to scare off, this was still an escalation and the powder-keg's fuse was burning.

In an unexpected move, a gift-box made of crafting tables was left near the conflict zone. Inside of it was a peace offering. For a moment, there was calm, and hope that this deep division in Orange Mountain could be resolved. Koopa was pleasantly surprised, even going so far as to bake a large amount of cookies to reciprocate the peace offering. However, Lovelace never discovered this gift.

What came next was a gruesome display, the nearby Super Fun Happy Camp was turned into a sort of macabre concentration camp. Pumpkin entities were crowded into an animal pen lined with barbed wire, flanked by guard towers, and made to wallow in their own filth. The crafting table guards regularly starved and beat the inmates. The pumpkins were being systematically exterminated in the camp, as Koopa found a firing squad in-progress as he logged in that fateful day. The gift had been in vain, and for the pumpkins, this was a line that should have never been crossed. War was inevitable.

A rescue ensued, fierce fighting erupted, and the grisly images seen at the beginning of this article were all that was left. The Kidney-stone was covered in pumpkinoidal material in further retaliation, and the surrounding regions were roped into the conflict. Many houses were visited by crafting table acolytes, demanding to know if others were harboring pumpkins. A possible pumpkin refugee is often seen begging outside the in-progress courthouse, struggling with substance abuse. Many did not know who or what these crafting tables seen around central Spawnhöl were, much less the complicated skirmishes that incensed them.

Resident Vince, the judge of the in-progress courthouse, officially denies any happenings around the Orange Mountain area, stating that "nothing ever happens." Details are foggy at the present moment, and while one can only hope the violence stops, it's unfortunately likely there will be more to follow.

(vince gave me permission to use the mailing list for this so dont get mad at me, get mad at him)

Is it back up yet? I guess my router is going in and out. I'm at school right now and can't fix it until I get home.

 

[HammerKoopa]

Its back up, vince, since the south side of the railroad station goes east, can i use the north side (currently a wall) to head west to orange mountain?

I would rather that you extend one of the lines that say "Extend this wherever it's needed." Bring it into the tunnel that already exists, then make a turn and head to orange mountain.

Yeah, every time it does disconnect its back in a few mins no worries

Y'all make fun of Doug about it so much, I assumed y'all had day jobs. Clearly I was wrong.

MAJOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS!!

The Spawnhoel Station has been completed! (See pics below)

Thanks to the efforts of @ghermann, @mamoya chirimoya, and myself, you can now ride a rail from the Spawnhoel Station to the station at my house (not pictured) or to the central station behind the post office! And a link to Orange Mountain is coming soon!

By my power as the server's king, president-for-life, and judge-for-life, I have appointed @ghermann head of the Department of Transportation for his invaluable efforts in making the minecarts run on time.

The Agora-chan statue is finished at spawnhoel, looking over the pub. based on the skin that @ghermann made and shared on the Agora-chan thread.


i'm not entirely sure about the hair. i feel like i tried to emulate the shading too much and it looks a bit messy. also the purple highlights don't come through very well. if you come to pay your respects and notice the hair changed, that will be the reason.

If someone wants to help beautify the base surrounding the statue, like adding stonework and flowers and such, that would be appreciated
