🌿 Hello everyone!

We hope you’re having a wonderful day in Wisterwild!
Here’s a quick refresher on how we can all help keep the server running smooth as butter 🧈

🐾 Entity & Floating Item Culler
- Our LagLimiter clears excess mobs and floating items every few minutes.
- Anything nametagged will not be removed — nametag what you love!
- Lost items can be recovered with /abyss for a few moments after a lag clear.

⚡ Redstone & Farms
- Large redstone devices can cause major lag.
- If your contraption stops working, try:
- Spacing farms at least 2 chunks apart
- Reducing hopper chains (use water/ice instead!)
- Limiting signs & item frames to essentials
- Make sure every farm has an on/off switch or a way to disable it so it's not running non stop.

🌾 Bonus Tips
- Keep mob counts reasonable in each area.
- Avoid massive particle effects or constant redstone loops.

See the full lag reduction FAQ list here: https://discord.com/channels/1257016639401234535/1389760075060609065

Thank you for helping keep Wisterwild cozy, stable, and fun for everyone 💜

It does in fact look like our lag/disconnects may be related to the AWS outages. I'll continue to monitor on the back end. I'm struggling to connect to most websites and I can't stay connected in game for more than a minute at a time, but I can run reboots of the server if necessary in the meantime. Thank you for staying patient, as some of you noted lag is exceedingly rare for us so if it pops up there's very likely something major happening like this.

Happy Saturday Wisterwildlings!

Some devices aren't super happy when navigating to Spawn so we are working on fixing whatever is causing them to crash (seems mostly Playstation devices...)

Moved away from spawn:
- I've moved all item exchanges to /warp market. Check out some of the new builds added to house exchanges scattered around the market. Note not all blocks/items are available to exchange. Take a quick gander through each of the new exchange buildings (coordinates in screenshots attached) to see what's available to trade.
- Cam moved the last 2 crates for scavenger hunt as well so the entire scavenger hunt now takes place in the market.
- Repairs can also be found at the market in the blacksmith building.
- Leaderboards have been temporarily pulled. They'll be up at a soon-to-be announced location.

Basically Spawn is purely decorative while we troubleshoot so feel free to wander and admire while we work on the back end! You can still use the Ender Portal, Nether Portal and purchase keys there if you like!

Thanks for your support and patience, everyone!!

With Love,
T

❓Have you claimed your land yet?❓

Couple of key reminders!

• Tuesday November 4th (tentative) will be Wisterwild's next regularly scheduled Chunk Trim!
• All spaces outside of all claimed chunks and all community spaces (like spawn & the market), also known as the Wilderness, will be reset poof
• remember - this is separate from the 14 day regeneration that happens as outlined in https://discord.com/channels/1257016639401234535/1413283915753590844

⏱️ How do I prevent my builds/base from getting reset?

By claiming your area (/lands claim) and staying up to date on Upkeep (see https://discord.com/channels/1257016639401234535/1413283915753590844 for all details) your area will stay safe and sound ✨

🔮 What about The End & The Nether?

The End & The Nether will not be reset at this time but we will give you as much notice as possible if anything changes.

🗺️ What about a temp spot I set up to check out later?

Make sure to claim any spaces you don't want wiped! This includes all temporary bases and supplies left outside your claimed areas.

Hint:.

Team up with someone if you're not able to claim land yet! Some players don't mind housing your stuff until after monthly trim happens. Work together, there's lots of opportunity in reaching out!

With love ☕🍄

🌙 Good evening, Wisterwildlings! 🌙

We’ve noticed a few hiccups when players try to add extra enchantments to OP items, so here’s a quick guide to help everything run smoothly. ✨

If you’d like to add an enchantment to an OP item, please open a ticket and have everything ready — the item, enchant book/currency, or required materials. Our team will handle the enchanting for you! 💫

A few important notes:
- 🧙‍♂️ We can only apply enchantments up to vanilla limits — no stacking beyond what Minecraft normally allows.
- ⚔️ Example: If your sword has Looting IV and you want to add Mending, open a ticket and we’ll do it safely for you! If you try it yourself, it may downgrade back to Looting III.
- 📚 You’ll need to bring the enchantment you want — whether it’s a book, currency, or other means of unlocking it.
- 💎 We cannot add new “OP-only” enchantments outside what’s already in circulation.
- 🔨 We can add enchantments to your existing OP gear, but we cannot combine items (for example, two Looting IV swords won’t become Looting V). We also will not able able to combine two different items with OP Enchantments on them already. We can only add new vanilla enchantments.

Thank you for helping keep our enchanted world balanced and sparkly! ✨🪄

🌙 Good evening, Wisterwildlings!

I wanted to take a moment to clarify something that’s come up a few times lately regarding redstone and certain farms not working as expected.

Our server has a built-in lag limiter that keeps an eye on overall performance (TPS — ticks per second). When the TPS drops too low, it automatically scales back certain mechanics — things like redstone activity, mob spawning, and mob AI — to help the world stabilize and prevent crashes.

If your redstone farm suddenly stops functioning or you can’t place redstone components, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s broken. In many cases, it’s the lag limiter stepping in. However, if the build itself is generating heavy lag — for example, large machines, heavy redstone components condensed in a small space, or constantly running redstone systems — the limiter may intentionally prevent the farm from running altogether to protect the server.

In short:
✨ If it’s a brief hiccup, it’ll usually return to normal once the TPS recovers.
⚙️ If it’s a consistently lag-heavy setup, it may stay disabled until adjusted or scaled down.

Thanks everyone!

Hello Wisterwildlings!

I've noticed the past two runs of Arcane Leveling, the only top 5 members are those in Cottage Crew, Cam and Myself which doesn't seem super fair so I'm starting Arcane Leveling from scratch and those of us on the team will not be able to participate. I'll be resetting levels here in a moment and will start the weekly reset over again. Here's to a fresh Week 1!

The new schedule for Arcane Level resets:

Week 1 October 18
Week 2 October 25
Week 3 November 1
Week 4 November 8
First drawing will take place on or around 11/8 with a new monthly scoreboard starting fresh!

Here's the details if you need them!
