Previous Seconds
Due to the archives being incomplete, several meeting notes have been lost, however our hard working gnomes are infiltrating the distant land of Mordor in order to retrieve them from the fires of Mount Whatsitsname.
Expect them to turn up shortly, perhaps with strikes in hand.

After this revelation, Sneaky boldly volunteered himself as host, and Zed accidentally dropped his diamond sword on a smithing table.
The 1.16 Update!
We spent some time discussing how the update has been treating us, which quickly led to talk of how our plugins should handle the new content.
Specifically, /treesfall and it's interactions with the new nether trees. There were several suggestions, such as it affecting the wart blocks too, since they do not despawn like leaves, or perhaps affecting only the logs - since falling wart blocks could cause unforeseen deaths.
Zed suggested that perhaps he could allow some customization, via an interface like /glowup (which allows Zesties to customize when they glow).
Mellorian took this opportunity to request that people clean up nether portals created at the overworld border when returning from the far nether.
Random portals skewed around can cause headaches for those wishing to make their own portals for navigating the overworld, near to the border.
Dogzack then made a request we had all been eagerly anticipating - Glowshroom posts, instead of Sea Lanterns. (Mell's idea for soul campfire posts was quickly passed over.)
Zed said he'd surprise us, which can only mean yes but no but maybe in like ten years if the wind is right and I have a good breakfast.

Locating Region Posts
On the subject of posts, we also brought up the !nearestpost command that Dogzack has been attempting to badger Zed into making for the last few months. We discussed an alternate suggestion, which involved using lodestones in the posts, and a special compass which always points to the nearest one.
This then spun into an intense debate over making "mini-posts" for a custom placed region post per player, off from the region post grid and not requiring skylight. Totally not /home. At all.
Zed didn't seem to completely bite.

More Laughable Matters
It was here that the meeting somewhat descended into anarchy, with the host disappearing, fishing rods being used inappropriately, and Zed starting up a totally not triangle scheme (It's a Funnelllll).
After a hastily drawn diagram and twelve packets of questionable beauty products, we moved on to...
Announcements!
Plotzy has updated to 1.16! Be sure to head over from the /lobby to try out designs for your 1.16 builds!
It even has Worldedit and lets you trust others to build with you!
Casual Buildathon Sunday the 26th of July - 4pm to 9pm BST
Zed attempted to relay the theme to us using Morse Code, but forgot to cross his i's and dot his t's.

With the meeting over, we spent the next hour attempting to communicate with the higher being which is !nextmeeting.
I don't think it likes us.
