Random Misc. Features

The LOTR Minecraft UHC server also does some other small random things to enhance gameplay as of right now (that were not major enough to make the list in my initial post):


 * Glass and glass panels don't get destroyed when you smash them. I love doing large stained glass windows in my builds, and it's nice to be able to recycle!


 * Since farming is more difficult due to the natural-water / non-transportable source blocks, it has been enhanced so that you can simply right click to harvest and replant (automatically) in one click.


 * Merely walking on different terrain (like sand, grass, dirt) actually modifies the block. You can see where people have walked before...cutting paths through forests, or even in the desert. Purely just to add a touch of realism and grittyness.


 * Mobs have a health display when you are up close and have them targetted.


 * The server keeps track of everything, including play time. We want to know who the regulars who are contributing to the server just by being there.


 * Players can access their vault (i.e. safety deposit box) at the bank. Most built-in waypoints will provide for vault access. Since this is a hardcore world we want to give everyone a place where they can be guaranteed security in storing their most precious items.


 * Players have new commands like /trash and /workbench to access a "Built-in" (generic) crafting table, and a build-in item disposal window. No having to dump your items on the ground... and no having to make crafting tables in the middle of the wilderness (which we hate).
