Topic: The Nether Roof. (MrMilkyWay)
The nether roof remains off limits as it falls under the 'do not use exploits' rule.

Topic: End Gateways. (Zedwick)
A number of deaths have happened due to blocking of end gateways. This was done by some players in an
attempt to make them safer, and prevent pearls flying out the other side in certain situations.
However, the result of this was that if you went though you spawned on the side and fell into the void.
One of the zriend projects is to build platforms under all gateways to make them safe.
Zedwick has fixed all affected gateways. Do not place blocks between the bedrock frames!

Topic: How Many Item Frames? (RageSquid)
RageSquid wanted to know if he could put 600 item frames in his sorter, seeing as they are entities and could be laggy.
Suggestions of other methods to label the chests were put forward, including signs, blocks under the
floor, binary coded patterns signifying the item id and ASCII art on signs.

Topic: Change council colour to dark green. (Cactisizer)
The suggestion was to make council members names dark green so people knew who they were.
At one point in the past we had green particles, and a 0 council 1 council label above our heads.
Due to difficulties maintaining a list in game Zedwick said no. I assume this is why we have no labeling at all now.

Topic: Nether Rail Map (hungryforwater)
Hungryforwater has been working on a rail map of the nether.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2118
He was wondering if it could become an official map if drawn to scale. The idea was well
recived, and would most certainly be used. The possibility of putting it onto an in game map is
there, and could be done with a giant canvas to draw on.

Topic: Ice Boat Nether Tunnels (Cactisizer)
Cactisizer suggested we should use ice boats for travel in the nether, rather than using rails.
It was decided this was a matter of choice, especially as minecarts have some advantages over them, like
the ability to afk in the cart.

Topic: Bridge Wars Tourny! (Hominix)
Play your games people!

Topic: Crypt Wars Update! (Dax)
The minigame was updated and I have yet again failed to fix respawning. Makes me sad.
Thakfully a wild Zedwick appeared and helped me fix it.

RageSquid was voted onto the council! Congratulations!

PurpleTurtle42 is hosting the next meeting on 18/05/2016

As usual, please point out the inevitable barrage of mistakes and sillyness by me.

Hello, QueenZoe and I are unable to attend the meeting again this week, we are both deeply sorry and I hope you don't miss us too much (Posting for QueenZoe as she isn't on the forums)

[SneakySkeleton]

Hello all!

Seeing as there is no pre-agenda, I'm posting it here.
I can't guarantee I'll be able to attend tonight's meeting, as my internet connection has been crap recently...
I'll try my best to be on, but I'm obviously sorry if I can't.
