DiscordSRV - It's possible, but I would prefer to work on a way that would let Dot interact with the server and I'm not keen on this mod's methods.

That makes a lot of sense! I dun know how it works but I absolutely think Dot would be better (but pleaaaaaaaaaase take care of yourself and dun do that if you aren't up for it). Dot is the best bot after all!

Thank you so much for doing all this Lulu!

Hi there, it's your friendly neighborhood flower girl here, back with... Well, not flowers this time!

Right now, all I can think of would be some quality of life improvements BetterSleeping, Graves (this can really make things suck less if something happens and you end up getting blown up on accident), something that allows you to set a home or two (which can really make life better) like EssentialsX (this also has a lot of other things too, likely wouldn't be too useful for us though besides /sethome commands). Most importantly I'd suggest something along the lines of DiscordSRV which allows anything said in the minecraft channel to be repeated in a discord channel and anything said in that discord channel to be sent as messages in the minecraft world.

Plugins:
Better Sleeping
This mod allows sleeping to be *slightly* easier to deal with. Normally in a minecraft world, all players have to be in a bed for sleeping to occur. With the BetterSleeping plugin, you can make it so that only 25% of the players have to be sleeping. This can be handy if one player can't get to a bed since otherwise you'd not be able to pass the night.

A link can be found heeeere

Graves
This mod creates a grave when a player dies. Rather than having all of their items drop, it instead places them into a grave, which the player can break to get back their items and gain some of their levels back. Useful for avoiding frustration and making it so huge amounts of progress aren't all lost at once.

Link!

EssentialsX
This one has a lot of content, but what I think it would be useful for is the /sethome command. /sethome or /sethome [[name]] allows you to set a home that you can later do the command /home [[home name]] to teleport to. It's really really reaaaaaaaally handy in a lot of ways, especially if you're exploring. It makes life so much better in so many ways. I'm sure there's *lots of other things you can do with the mod* but I have no idea what they are!

Links to the plugin, and list of commands here

DiscordSRV
DiscordSRV is a plugin that allows you to link a discord channel to a minecraft world and vice versa. Anything that is sent in the chat gets sent in the minecraft world as a message from god and anything that's said in the minecraft world is sent in the channel as a bot message. You can have death messages, join messages and all sorts of things. It can really help create more activity and help people play together/have some camaraderie!

TreeAssist
This mod is simple quality of life thing. If you, like any minecrafter likely will in their career, cut down a tree, two things will happen:
1) The entire tree will be cut down.
2) Leaf decay is faster.
3) After a little bit of time saplings (that came from the tree's leaf decay) will appear where the tree was before, avoiding the classic "Oh no, I destroyed the landscape D:" that often happens.

While none of this is essential, after playing with it for a bit I've really come to enjoy it all as it's a massive timesaver and allows for a lot bigger projects than you might be able to do otherwise.

It also does a good job of not breaking player-placed blocks. (I don't think I've ever run into it happening). One way or another, here's a link!

Mods:
Pam's HarvestCraft 2
This one is inspired by Em and the wonderful work she did at the Stamp Society (and I'm sorry Em if you were already typing this up Dx) Pam's HarvestCraft was reworked into a series of four mods:
1) A mod adding 120+ new foods with vanilla minecraft ingredients.
2) A mod adding 70+ things for Emily to plant brand new crops!
3) Trees! It adds more trees!!! IT HAS PAPAYA TREES WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW [and maple trees since CANADA!].
4) More food! This combines things from the rest of the three mods to add 400+ new foods to the game. Which is. Super. Freaking. Cool.

Oh, and have I mentioned this is all for 1.16? Since it is :>
Links for Pam's HarvestCraft 2 mods in order I listed them: Food Core, Crops, Trees, Food Extended

Biomes O' Plenty
Suggested by Phoenix (but I dun know if they have a calref forum account so I'mma just add it here). It does what it says on the tin! It adds toooooooons of new biomes, plants, flowers, trees and lots of other things. Hopefully it won't have overlap with Pam's HarvestCraft 2, but I'm not sure.

Link is here!

Serene Seasons
Another one suggested by Phoe! This mod adds seasons to minecraft! It changes grass and foliage colors, temperature can change, snow can fall in weird places, storms, ect! I've never played with it before but it sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

A link to it is here

I'm sure I'll have more ideas but for now this is what I have off the top of my head!* Additionally, all of these should work for minecraft 1.16!

*It's likely that TreeAssist won't work with Pam's HarvestCraft 2 and Biomes O' Plenty but I don't really know!

Oh my god I've been murdered.

But it's true, the graphics were outdated almost as soon as the game was released. But the story is near to my heart, despite its flaws.

The graphics look cool! I honestly do like them.

But that is how I actually play NS sometimes...

I once had a friend who went by Okami online, and then someone shortened it to Kami and she didn't realise that was god or deity in Japanese, and went with it for a while. Once I pointed it out to her in 2007, she kind of had a miniature freak-out because she's super-duper religious and was suddenly faced with the fact that she'd gone by the term "God" online for like two years.

That sounds like an awful experiance for her. Did you know that was what it meant the entire time?

Anyway I had nothing to add.

Lies I say! All of that was things to add!

I once went by Silver Fox in Abenaki, because a friend of mine at the time was part of that First Nation tribe and sort of coined that name for me. Wôkwses Wibegwigo, she was M8lsem Sezowozo. But that's the only time I've ever really gone by an animal name online. I think it's neat.

That's really interesting. Were you saying it was neat to use an animal name or are you talking about the name you went by?

*idly distributes complimentary copies of the Geneforge saga*

Ah, what wonderful graphics. It's so much better than how my NationStates pages look.

Woo! More excuses to use Japanese

Who says you need an excuse to use Japanese?! Just speak in Japanese all the time and I'm sure that someone will eventually come along and go "Oh my gosh, I actually understand what you're saying!"

Just ban them from eating cheese, too, then you get funny dairy themed issues ^_^

Looking at this makes me realize how many limits I've put on my population oops

Is there anything in particular that makes you avoid forums? I mostly ask so that we can work on fixing whatever might be making you uncomfortable. You shouldn't have to suffer through things if you don't have to.

I wish I knew, but I don't. It's probably that I'm just not used to forums in general. I can survive my forum phobia :p

Welcome welcome! Nice to see a fellow animal-named buddy
weird question but may I call you 魚? c:

Hahaha, yes. 魚 is fine. The name actually comes from someone named Qish, but I have gone by Fish for a really, really long time. Fish turned into Sakana when I needed a username!

*gives you a proper tea service*
Welcome to the forum 

Thank you and thank you ^_^
It truly was the worst afternoon tea I've had.

Hi Fish it's so good to finally meet you! Luca has talked quite a bit about you and I was excited to meet you and you seem super nice!

Awwww  Hopefully they said good things O-o
I always avoid forums so the fact that I'm here makes me slightly uncomfortable, but I'll survive

What? How did I get here?! This isn't the library...

Anyway, hello everyone! My name is Fish or Sakana and I'm a college student. I use she/her pronouns and am here to insist that Luca is a wonderful person since she won't admit it >:(

This seems like a nice place and I can't wait to meet y'all!
