Season 6 Community Discussion

2026-03-03T01:47:17Z

ElGuapo:

On the 23rd of November 2025, we held the official CrabCraft [[Season 6]] Community Discussion event. Allowing members to give feedback on the previous season ([[Season V]]), ahead of the launch of the next. Around 30 players attended, providing insight into possible changes.

== Summary of Event ==

=== SOcialism ===
An unknown (beautiful) individual advocated for Socialism in Season 6
It was an amazing idea

=== Gameplay and Server Mechanics ===
'''Minecart Experiment'''. This is a [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecart_Improvements Minecraft experiment] that will be enabled for the launch of Season 6. It allows for the adjustment of minecart physics and speed.
# '''In the Nether''', minecarts will be increases slightly to discourage the use of other transportation methods like Elytra, and make the Nether a viable high speed travel network.
# '''In the Overworld,''' Minecart speeds will remain at their default setting to prevent breaking precisely timed minecart systems, farms and builds.
'''Villager Trade Rebalance.''' This refers to the [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager_Trade_Rebalance Minecraft experiment] which changes some mechanics related to the villager trading system. This has been enabled on all past SMPs, however we confirmed this will '''not''' be enabled for Season 6.

=== Locator Bar ===
[[File:Survival Locator Bar.png|thumb|Locator bar in Survival mode, showing orange and blue waypoints.]]
This is a UI feature recently added by Mojang that displays all players locations as waypoints, replacing the XP progress. After a poll held, the majority of players voted to disable this feature. Therefore it will '''not''' be enabled for Season 6.

=== End Fight Date ===
We discussed the optimal time to hold the server-wide fight against the Ender Dragon. In Season 5 it was held approximately 4 weeks after the launch of the Season. Following feedback from the community via a Discord poll, and the success of Season 5 we have decided to stick with a 4 week period.

=== Cabinet / Mayor / Judge ===
'''Pro Cabinet.''' Some players feel a cabinet of elected officials is a good idea for community engagement, but would require moderation to remove inactive members

'''Anti Cabinet.''' Other players argued that elected members often become inactive and accomplish nothing. making the system "pointless".

'''Single Mayor System.''' [[KingChuck]] proposed having a single mayor with an inactivity clause; if the mayor is offline for a week, they forfeit the position to the next candidate.

'''Mayor's Authority.''' The powers and responsibilities of the mayor need to be clearly defined so the role has a clear purpose beyond just a title.

=== Season Length ===
The goal for Season 6 is to last longer than [[Season List|previous seasons]], aiming for approximately '''six months'''. This would allow for the completion of larger, more ambitious community builds and projects.

=== Town / Shopping District & Shop Plots vs Free Build ===
'''Shop Plots.''' The system from last season where players had to purchase plots to build in the shopping district was criticized for being too expensive for new players and somewhat restrictive.

'''Free Build.''' The consensus is leaning towards a free-build shopping district for more creativity.

'''Organization.''' However, some players argued for some form of organization (like defined roads or zones) to prevent the area from becoming a chaotic "mess."

'''Demolition''' '''Rule.''' A proposal was made for a '''two-week demolition rule''' for builds within the main town. If a structure is clearly unfinished and the owner has been inactive, other players could be given permission to remove it to keep the town looking clean.

=== Season Events & Secret Santa ===
There is a strong desire for more regular, community-driven events.

'''Secret Santa.''' A server-wide Secret Santa event was proposed for the Christmas period, where players would be randomly assigned another player to give a gift to.

'''Other Events.''' Players also suggested hosting in-game events for players' birthdays. The idea of having a dedicated "events person" or committee (Pip offered) was well-received.

=== Mounts of Mayhem & Spawn Lag ===
'''Server Version.''' Season 6 will launch on Minecraft version '''1.21.10'''

'''Mounts of Mayhem Update.''' The server will be updated to the new major version as soon as the necessary server software and plugins are updated, which is expected in mid-to-late December.

'''Spawn Lag:''' To reduce lag at spawn, the following is requested from players:

# Use '''barrels''' instead of chests where possible
# Avoid using large numbers of '''item frames'''.
# '''No farms''' of any kind are to be built near the central spawn/shopping area.

=== The Nether Hub ===
There is strong community interest in building a large, organized, and aesthetically pleasing Nether Hub.

This is being positioned as a major '''community project'''.

The plan is to have clearly marked portals, safe pathways, and potentially high-speed '''ice boat highways''' leading in the cardinal and diagonal directions to make travel across the server fast and easy.

=== World Border ===
A '''temporary world border''' will be implemented for the '''first 24 hours''' of the season.

The size will be somewhere around '''5,000-5,000 to 10,000-10,000.'''

The purpose is '''not''' to limit exploration permanently, but to allow the server to pre-render the most commonly travelled chunks during the high-traffic launch period, which will significantly reduce server lag for everyone.

=== Streaming / Recording ===
The system of having a '''"Live" tag''' in-game for players who are streaming or recording will be continued.

This system was met with unanimous approval from the community as a good way to inform players when their voice and actions might be broadcast.

== About Me! ==
GamingSplosion is a 17-year old player (although I may not sound it) on the CrabCraft server, who was invited by Riozap, and joined on the 6th of August 2025, around 2:30 am BST. He also runs a server for the streamer "ponkers_", who streams on the server daily(ish)!

GamingSplosion is a fairly neutral player, generally only fighting/attacking people if he has a genuine reason, or has to defend himself. He will take running over fighting, however does have some decent PVP skills to defend himself if needed. Does also enjoy the occasional 1v1.

GamingSplosion's building skills are mediocre at best, however he can make a decent house, shop, or other structure if he really takes some time to build it.

=== <u>Builds</u> ===

====== All of my notable builds on the server: ======

====== Mob Item Farm: Location Undisclosed. ======
Primarily used by GamingSplosion, Winter, and Riozap to grind gunpowder, string and bone blocks for their shops located within the large red plot behind the castle mall.

====== "Splosion Taxis" (Elytra Taxi): Located Next to the Auction House, by the river at spawn. ======
Waiting area for Elytra Taxis, still awaiting the first real taxi request, threatened with bankruptcy due to lack of services being requested.

==== [[Leafy Cottage|Leafy Cottage (Home)]]: -39 69 -1148 ====
GamingSplosion's Humble Cottage, created by him on his first day on the server, he now lives there full time, using the upper floor as a hangout/chill area for him, his friends and his dog Benji. The basement is used to house "Evonkler" the Evoker, and "Pillanger" the Bowless Pillager, both bought via auction.

==== <u>Future Build Plans</u> ====
"Rio's Obama Fried Chicken" ("Cook"): Location TBD

"Deepslate Tower Island": Siren's Refuge Surface.
