Organized Base Tours (EarthCow/Khas)
A forum post was suggested to organize group base tours in advance.

Mob Limit
A number of players expressed displeasure with the current 1-block mob limit, specifically when dealing with breeding and baby mobs. Zedwick is currently looking into solutions in 1.9 that could ignore baby mobs, relieving a lot of the frustration that players are feeling.

The End in 1.9
- Zedwick still has not decided if the entire End will be reset when LVS switches to Minecraft version 1.9, but a new, single, expanded Enderman Farm will be built at that time.
- Concerns were raised about how summoning Ender Dragons will be regulated, as they can be spawned multiple times using the new, craftable End Crystals.
- Concerns were also expressed about End Strongholds being raided immediately, leaving little for new players.
- Zedwick concluded that more research and testing of 1.9's additions had to be done, and further discussion will be held closer to the release of 1.9.

Spawn Hub Tunnels (Mafoo)
Mafoo discussed the recent renovations the the lower North, East, South and West Wings of Spawn Hub. Tunnels in these hub wings have been dug extending to the World Border in their respective directions to further help players easily connect to the Spawn Hub. These tunnels will feature rails and ice paths for fast sprint-jumping.

Spawn Hub Protection (Zedwick/Mafoo)
Zedwick asked the council if the Hub(s)' protection should be expanded, and by how much, if any. By majority vote, it was decided that the Spawn Hub's protection would be expanded down to Y level 0. Any tunnels currently in that area would be redirected. This change will take place after the switch to 1.9.

New Council Member
Congratulation to Khas_, who was elected to the council!

The next Council Meeting will be hosted by ScarySpider on February 13th!

hi Hominix, nice notes.
To avoid confusion: due to my absence in the past months I had 4 strikes and I am no longer a council member.

[SneakySkeleton]

It seems that I am not on the list of council members. I was present at the meeting.
