    Is it possible to get a list of the core game functionality that is currently disabled on this server? I don't recall seeing any such thing when I joined the server and read through the wiki. It wasn't until after some 3-4 hours logged in that I discovered that several things were disabled, including the Nether (also nullifies potions), sticky pistons, chickens, and enchanting (recently enabled). I think it would be useful to have a list of these things on the wiki, both for new players and as a helpful reminder for those already on the server.

    i fully agree with this post. I was (until i read this) unaware that the nether and potions were disabled. there really is no mention of this anywhere else. Please enable these things in the near future, or at least get something up somewhere stating all the disabled content. Thank you for the thought and have a great day :D

    The thing with any wiki is that not everything can be on it, as no-one will read for half an hour to an hour just to find out about a server they havent played on much yet. A lot of these things you need to ask about, or learn through experience. Once you've been here for a while you are used to everything, so basically unless you stay, you'll never know it all.

    That's possibly the worst reason not to put something on the wiki I've ever heard (sorry!) - just because a wiki can't contain everything, doesn't mean that something like this isn't actually a genuinely useful addition, and isn't going to be huge & therefore time consuming. Especially as we tell people to read the wiki / search for stuff *all* the time...

    I will ask Gwenhy to start on this, as the head of the wiki :)

    Hence the ability to pick a sub part of the wiki, and not having to read the entire thing >.<?

    I agree with eltono in some respects, because a lot of people that join the server can't even be bothered to read a sign that is in front of them when they tp somewhere.

    So many people ask over and over, "How do I get a plot in creative?" or "Why can't I build in creative?" when they tp there. Or the inevitable, "why can't I mine in the mining world?" When there was a sign in their face that said "Go out 500 blocks to Mine."

    But I do think a wiki is good to continue putting things into that people want to know, and nothing should be left out. There should be a really concise "getting started" section always, for the really basics, and hopefully newcomers will read that for 10 minutes before playing. And if anyone has a more detailed question, hopefully the wiki can contain it for searching.

    About chickens, what do you mean? I've seen plenty of chickens near my town, and I can get stuff from them too.

    Chickens were added to the main world fairly recently, a week or two ago, same with wolves
