I really dispise the new server plug in

Whenever we did not have the new (whatever) where items clumped together, i liked playing alot. However that clumping bug for me made the game less fun even though it was a little more efficient for me instead of picking up everything. But it was fun to play around while getting all the items, and it made running casino games easier because you could see. But now, even though passing the items is a bit easier by stack, i cant see the items being passed to me one by one, because alot of people do that and i like counting it. Could we possibly have that fixed for the people who like it and the people who dont?

Its for the greater good of the server.. Its not somethin that can be turned on/off player by player

Sorry but what do you mean by "clumping"?

Oh I didn't realize that was empire-specific.

What he means is when you mine things they all clump into stacks and you only have to go to one place to pick them up.

It's awesome if the stack falls where you can get easily, not so great if you're unlucky and it falls down a ravine/into lava with all the stuff which would have landed in a safe location.

I love it, means I no longer have to wade through my irrigation water streams when harvesting my wheat, as any that fall in, then jump back into the clump.

I dont like it, I have to redesign my wheat farm (good thing its small).

I personally feel the large performance gain this gets us outweighs wanting to see them on the ground not grouped into stacks.

Not sure if this is related, seems like it is, but some stacks of items have been "jumping" out of crates and clumping on the floor in my res lately. Probably already fixed because I haven't noticed it for a day.

Yep, it's awesome. It makes harvesting resources *way* less laggy.

Less lag > "fun to play around while getting all the items"

Endermen or creepers in your chest are throwing them out to make room for themselves to have a BBQ.
Are you running any sort of inventory tweaking mods as they can cause little errors like this occasionally?

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that when you're mining quickly, because of the clumping, you need to ensure you stop every so often so you pick it up, or else you risk maybe letting it drop down a hole or go somewhere you don't want it to.

I've also not worked out how much it will safely hold in a clump, but I've had two stacks of dirt so far.

hmmm...

The new grouping system - can we have that removed on EXP? cause there is sure as heck something wrong :/

when I make the full size version, it might want to stack somewhere else and make it hard to collect the wheat.

Great move.

Not only it makes every single tasks in the game better , but it helps reducing the stress on the server.

Very smooth.

The only real issue with the system is when you lose a full stack of items into lava, or down a ravine. I don't know if there is any solution for this though.

What do you see as being wrong. At first I thought the same thing, but after playing for a while, it feels like it's going up at the speed it should be for me. I believe Twitch did a test comparing single player to the new system here and didn't find any differences with XP going up.
