Minerealm Community Forums

A staff member by the name of kerevon thought I was using a mod called the X-Ray mod by the abnormal way I was mining. I wasn't using the mod I had uninstalled it the day I started this server. I was mining abnormally because I had F3 out and was looking for caves at diamond level. I would go one way only to discover that there wasn't a cave there but a little lava outlet. That is how I got the diamonds.

Greetings fellow MineRealm participants, Members, Faculty and staff. Earlier today, I was banned, I'm not demanding that I must be unbanned because I did nothing wrong. I actually agree that my mining technique is a bit sketchy but that is how I always mine. I was also a little bit rude to a staff member saying to get out of my house before I asked why they were there. But I think he didn't wait until he got all the facts before banning me. All he did was when I got home, he was already there and I said

Get out of my house!

It was pretty rude but his reactions were a little unjust. Thank you for your generosity and consideration.



Sincerely,

I just went through all 17 diamond veins you have mined. Out of those, 2 of them looked like they were very plausibly mined legitly, another 2 of them I was unsure of, and 13 of them looked like they were xrayed. I'm going to go ahead and start posting screenshots. You can see the full album of them here, or just keep scrolling for my sort of curated display of them.

I'm basically walking down the path you mined through. I rolled back the diamonds themselves (and in some cases, sand) so I can show where they were located.

Xray #1: Dug down from a natural tunnel and then straight over to diamonds.








Xray #2: Dug down to bedrock, then over to some diamonds.






Xray #3: Dug over to diamonds again.





Xray #4: Dug over to a lava lake, which you filled in to reveal diamonds.





Xray #5: Found diamonds under lava. After tunneling to the lava.





Xray #6: Dug down to diamonds at bedrock





Xray (maybe) #7: Dug away from a tunnel, hit diamonds, hollowed the area around them out, moved on.




Xray #8: Removed some lava at bedrock, found diamonds.





Xray #9: Dug directly to another lava lake that just happened to have diamonds.





Xray #10: Diamonds under a lava lake.



Xray #11: Dug down to bedrock and found diamonds.


Xray #12: Dug from one natural cavern to another with a lava lake, found diamonds.





Xray #13: Dug down to more diamonds




Xray #14: Dug from there straight to a diamond vein that happened to be right by a lava lake.




So, it looks like you were frequently able to tell which parts of lava were hiding diamonds. You weren't just clearing out all lava to find these diamonds, because you skipped some lava pools you came across. The majority of the diamond strikes were very suspicious.

Greetings MineRealmers, I would like to have your attention for just an instant. Yesterday, I was banned for using X-Ray mod. I have uninstalled said mod. I would like to become a member of MineRealm once again. I will give the diamonds that I got from the mod back.

I am truly sorry but I was just trying to get started and was going to uninstall it after I got to my house. But as soon as I got to my home I was banned.

Here is a message to you kerevon.

Hey man, I am sorry for lying and cheating. I truly am. If you could forgive me I would be grateful and I will gladly give the diamonds back which is 26 diamonds in total. But please let me back on the server. I was so joyous to have finally found a amazing Vanilla survival server. I was eager and ambitious.

1: No need for triple posting, the edit button is there for a reason.
2: Why did you lie about it in the first place?
3: The community does not decide your fate- that lies in the hand of staff. Please refrain from posting multiple times in a row. (Double posting, triple posting, etc.)
4: You may post the word 'bump' on your thread once a DAY to move it to the top of the list so it doesn't get lost. If you do so MORE than once a day, it raises your chances of staying banned due to inability to follow simple rules.

I was online when you were playing before, and you said "Is the x-ray mod allowed". I and others replied with no, and told you to look over the rules at spawn, and you said you had uninstalled it. Why lie to us?

Emphasis added.

That's a no from me...

Quite a hole you've dug here Tek. Good luck getting out.
