So, earlier today I was in an elytra dogfight with bloops where we flew with elytras and fireworks. I almost got a few good shots with my fireworks crossbow, but it was too slow and took way too long to load. So I thought, man, this would be better if I had a machine gun.

And then I found a plugin that adds guns. You won’t have to download any mods!

I’ve come up with three different options for how we could proceed.

1: we do not add guns.

Please don’t pick this, you will make me very sad.

2: We add guns, but don’t allow people to use them, and reserve them for special events. There’s a plugin that makes items uncraftable, so we could use this on the guns, so only Edward could be able to distribute them or something for special occasions.

3: we add guns, with no restrictions whatsoever.

Personally, I’m leaning towards the second option, but let me know your choice below.

    1 - I am very opposed to such drastic departures from vanilla. If we want to mod the game there are much smaller steps that we could take first. But one of the main draws of the server right now for me is that it is a vanilla SMP, which is what i am mainly interested in. Mods are a slippery slope, once you start adding them where do you stop?

    I hope this doesn’t come off as rude but may i suggest if you want PVP with guns that you pick a different game, one that is actually designed for that kind of gameplay? You can PM the comrade or comrades you want to play with and talk about what kind of games you all like that can be played in private online multiplayer PVP matches where you can have that gunfight that you want.

    There is nothing wrong with that kind of gameplay, it’s just not for everyone and a lot of people just don’t want it in Minecraft, and honestly i don’t think you would enjoy it that much either. As i said, Minecraft is not designed for having guns, all implementations i’ve seen so far have been clumsy and awkward, and you would end up doing it a couple of times and then forget that feature was even there.

    Plus the server is unstable enough as it is, i don’t think adding more plugins right now before we figure out how to stop the crashes is a good idea.
