  2. Empire Almanac: Veteran Knowledge and Lost Tricks



    Welcome, EMC citizens!
    I've been thinking about this idea for a while, about having some sort of newspaper about tips and tricks that might be useful but not necessarily mainstream among the empire populace.

    Article 8001: Voter Helmet Mechanics

    Ah yes, the classic Voter Helmet: It is second item awarded to the player, earned after a simple 30-day vote streak.. A trusty companion which has accompanied you through the thick and thing of your EMC journeys. Soulbound, stylish and dependable.



    But let's take a closer look:

    Aqua Affinity and Respiration 3 - the typical helmet enchant combo... wait a moment! Aqua Affinity V, now that's interesting!

    For a long time, Aqua Affinity didn’t behave like other enchantments. On the backend, Mojang’s formula didn’t scale underwater mining speed beyond level I, so higher levels were essentially cosmetic.

    That changed recently.

    With one of Mojang’s recent updates, enchantment scaling formulas were revised — and now extra levels of Aqua Affinity actually do something.

    First visually,


    Now, enchantments display their effects in actual numbers. No more scouring the wiki to find the formula to see what it does -> you can now see what a level does in-game.

    What does this mean for EMC gameplay?

    Aqua Affinity now scales your underwater mining speed accordingly — specifically, when your UI shows bubbles (meaning you're technically drowning). This means, as the picture says, '+2000% submerged mining speed.'

    This opens up new and fun use cases:

    1. Insta-mine deepslate:
    With Haste II and the right setup, you can now insta-mine deepslate. Big Dig operations just got an upgrade.

    Here are a few pictures of mining site, due to these mechanics



    2. 1-second obsidian mining:
    Obsidian that used to take 10 seconds now takes just over 1. Combine this with Water Conduits and Group Mining (Haste III), and the potential is even higher.

    3. Creative ways for synnergy with other features:

    The amazing thing about EMC is it has many custom features, however most of them aren't in your face blocking you from the vanilla Minecraft experience.

    While in the wild, you can use torches as air pockets while mining, given that they are automatically protected by the anti-grief system. Meaning that these flooded mining sites do not require water breathing potions.

    Another interesting note is that you technically don't need to worry about drowning if you have a full beacon giving you Regeneration. The Regeneration healing out paces the drowning damage!

    By using this mechanic in town, something even more interesting could be created.
    Using the command /res set waterflow false, you can control how water behaves in your res. This allows for non-vanilla water setups and placement, which could potentially create a whole new realm of optimization for farm builders, who can design farms specifically for water helmet use.

    It doesn't stop there; as with anything in Minecraft, your creativity is your limit! I'm sure there are more fun interactions that could come from this item, which we haven't discovered yet!


    Create a 3D underwater maze which is interactive with breakable components. Before this it would have been tedious for players to mine underwater, but no longer!

    An obsidian farm in town combining dripstones for infinite lava, redstone and Voter Helmet for super fast mining!

    Insta Mine a mob spawner, and feel powerful by overcoming your fears

  3. ~What is this?~
    This is a fun event hosted at Air Inc(owners tuqueque, Dufne, UltiPig) by Tuqueque. The hoster will ask 15 questions and each winner will get a chance to shoot at the prizes 6 times. The winner can choose to either a max of 6 prizes or shoot of item frames to reach the back, where bigger rewards are! After the trivia, the hoster at his own will, could open a free-for-all part to empty the prize pool. So basically a "throw party" instead of a "drop party"

    How to play?

    1. Win trivia
    2. Get told the TP
    3. TP and shoot for prizes
    4. ***This is just for demonstration, prize wall is huge and long( a better video will come soon enough, he he)
    everything is provided, there is no need to bring anything to this! just yourself and maybe some fast typing fingers for googling =P(if needed)

    ~When~
    unknown

    last about 1hour 50min

    ~Where~
    the Air Inc HQ on corner utopia reses 5857
    go there by typing /utopia and then /v +air or /v 5857

    ~Donations~

    Donations are greatly appreciated and YOU are helping us make this event better by doing so. If you would like to donate rupees then pay tuqueque the amount you wish and notify him =P, if items, hoppers will be at the HQ waiting for you, thanks!
    ~Braggin' Rights~

    Each time an event is hosted, tuqueque will place a Braggin' Rights book on the prize pool. If you get this book you will have to mail this back to tuqueque(or the current hoster) so he can place you in this list :)

  12. /stack for specifically empty shulkers

    Labor shulker - 1 million tokens if necessary (can be a fake vault) ie. a random item, lets say a Hay Bale, which acts a single chest /vault with random display item(not necessarily a shulker), but it is named Labor Shulker, maybe named Labor Barrel
    -You wont be able to preview it
    -Unselllable attribute required
    - I know chicken it seemed very unfeasable to make it a real shulker being opened, but what about a 'fake shulker'
    - blocks only? limit

    Empire Wood
    -would work as /exchangeremoteshopsign where any item can be turned into any wood
    -> 1 spark surronding 8 logs -> 8 Empire logs
    can craft Empire Planks out of it
    Can craft Empire Fences
    Empire Gates and Empire Signs out of it

    Ideally I would have wanted to make it more accesible than 1 spark cost, but couldn't think of anything

    Persistent Baby Spawn eggs (like leprechaun) maybe /tbuy 5k "Baby Charge" (Custom Windcharge) + Spark + Baby Spark + 1-7 same spawn eggs, gives persisitent baby mob ->

    for each month of supporter, be allowed an increase /vault limit 12 months of supporter, anytime increases /vault max from 255 to 267

    for certain groups to allow group leader or group leader assigned members to have glowing effect, even if staff only seems thatit could be fun

    for claims update, allow 50k-200k tokens to regen a 3x3 chunk area of new world gen

    allow for for supporters to change voter armor color with hex code specifically instead of direct dye

    tokens purchase for expanding derelict prot login and normal : 10 days 12, 15, 18 days voter 30 35 40 45

    there must be a way to be able to rerelease old promos in a more better manner, than possibly in PPP... the magical eggcellent wands, ore busters, eye of horus, stretchy pants these are OP and its a mountain high difference of quality of gamestyle between OGs and new (and not really new) players

    Monthly leaderboard on farming a certain item, placed blocks dont count, either rupee or token awards 3k for all 50k, 30k, 20k, rupees

    possibly open an economy discussion thread 2.0 to see changes

    consider adding diamonds back (at a much more smaller scale) to mob fights

    mentioning /vaults 2 /vaults alias /vaults last since I really want this feature again, and I feel would severely increase quality of said feature overall with little effort I believe

    add zombie pigman and husk zombie jockeys as mobs which drop lava chicken disc (deviation from vanilla, but don't think too much lava chicken will ever be a problem CHICKEN JOCKEY!)

    /loc log

    if you type /loc , can can view your past 5 /locs via /loc log -> tie with /loc gui suggestion thread by tuqueque from before

    fix quartz supporter
    • No Global Chats - Support to be able to chat in Town while out and about..
    • think of other ways to enhance suppp
    I had mentioned flyspeed 3 for gold flyspeed 5 in utopia

    admins not just owners doing /res time set

    /mail get last

    change mail price from 50 to 10r per stack. price for shulkers would be 200r

    Best friend voucher for like 10k tokens, removes all rupee expenses when sending to a specific player via /mail

    might be worthwhile updating this thank you message..

    No pickup selection gui for supporters. ie when you are mining or excavating your res, you can choose to automatically/block pickup on all types of certain items, such as dirt, flesh etc...
