Hello everyone! Just wanted to put an update on our amazing forums even though everyone seems to prefer discord these days.

We have added a very custom Prison game mode to the server, you can access it with /prison, rank up by mining and completing tons of quests, there's PvP, embassy's, and lots of fun to be had so check it out if you haven't already. There is of course some cool store perks for prison as well if you're interested!

On another note, we wanted to reach out to the community to pick a theme for the upcoming Month of May. As you know, it is tradition on SnapMC to update our spawn with a new theme every month, as well as providing some sort of new game to play and add some other fun ways to get the key of the month. So we wanted to let you guys suggest themes and we will pick one of your suggestions to feature in the May Spawn. If we pick your suggestions (and you are the first to suggest it) we will feature a mini version of you somewhere in the center of spawn showing that it was your idea! Comment your theme ideas on this thread.

The theme can be anything, but remember we need to actually build it, not all ideas are easily made in Minecraft.

Additionally there is a poll at the top of this thread where you can vote for our next game mode, we were thinking either creative or skyblock but wanted to know which is more popular, and if you have another idea feel free to add a comment.

Hello everyone, Double here...
Lately, we have had a couple issues with "bots", aka fake accounts made to spam our forums.

Me and Pluto have taken down over 300 accounts, and 100 posts the past 24 hours.
For new members here (welcome btw) you will have to go through our reCAPTCHA to gain access.
It's nothing advanced, just hit "I'm not a bot" and you're good to go.

*Important*

If you're signing up for the first time, we request that you use a common email extension such as:

• Gmail.
• Yahoo.
• Hotmail.

Or any other well-known email provider.
This is requested due to our new bot purger, that allows us to delete suspicious email extensions.
If you are having any issues with this change, please DM me or Pluto on Discord, or respond to this thread.

We are very proud of all the recent achievements SnapMc has accomplished and wanted to explain some of the work that has happened recently that you may or may not have noticed.

Forums Remade:
Recently we hired a real forums developer DoubleThePyscho who has made some awesome improvements to our forums as you can see. Besides the beautiful new theme, here are some other new features: You can now set the theme of your page to light or dark. You can add ratings (emojis) to any post or comment. You can toggle a wide page to hide the background. You can get the Server Discord right from the navigation bar. You can open the server store right from the navigation bar. You can use the url snapmc.com to reach the forums. Emailing actually works fully so you will get email updates when someone replies to your thread or mentions you etc. You can also disable email notifications easily. If you are a new user without an account, you will see the server IP and it's players in an easy-to-copy-and-paste form right at the top of the page. You will now see staff tags on staff, and a tag for the date of the post. Also we have more tags such as pending, accepted, denied for applications. There is also lots of back-end stuff that has made our forums even safer and faster than before! We hope you enjoy the new forums, and please thank Double for all the work he has done to make this possible.

New Spawn:
We have a beautiful new Spawn that is a lot like a server hub. Everything is much more organized and easy to find, especially for new users who once had trouble finding all the cool features on snap.

Siege World:
This is our latest project, the Siege World is a bit complicated but certainly a lot of fun. The Siege World is a lot like a Factions map built right into the...

So we did some late night experimenting, and to prevent future overloads of hoppers from lagging the server when creating massive mob farms, we found a unique + cool solution which means you won't need any hoppers at all to make a mob farm!

Any mob spawner you place from here on out will by default auto-kill its spawned mobs.
The loot from these mobs will magically teleport to the closest chest to the point of death, with a max distance of 4.

So now you can just place a few chests around your spawners to collect the loot, with no impact on the server! Wow!

This method not only reduces the hoppers server wide but also reduces mob counts, and entities! All of which help the server be a little bit faster for everyone!

You can toggle this feature off/on with /autofill when looking at the spawner you wish to toggle, note it will only work on spawners that you place from this point onward, so any previously placed spawners will need to be re-placed to get this cool new feature.

Also! Spawners lock to your name / IP so only you can break or edit your spawners.

Also you can only place up to 40 hoppers in a chunk, to prevent future overloads.

If you have any questions or concerns leave a comment here or ask on the discord.

These changes are both new and up for debate, so bring on the debate!

Also if you haven't heard, we have some awesome updates coming in December so Stay tuned!
