[Unbound]

Can I please be unbanned I didn't x ray and I am telling the truth

Don't be impatient. Wait till staff check and male sure since they can't take your vote for it till they check.

There is absolutely no way you found "5-6" vains of diamonds in one small area. When I mined silk touched ore a while back and got banned for it, I mined nearly a stack of diamonds with a Fortune III pick at Y:6. At which point, I was banned by the server for X-Ray Hacking (I was not X-Raying, either. This was resolved). Normally, a vain includes on average 4-5 diamonds. In your claim, you have claimed to have mined 5 to 6 vains. This is about 20-30 diamonds minimum and maximum we are talking about. Either you mined a lot more, or one of staff were observing you doing obvious X-Ray movements and banned you on the spot. It's better to fess up now than later. Your choice, though.

I didn't cheat though I just got lucky I don't know why I got banned for getting lucky, as I said earlier I got lucky I don't have x ray

Well hey, maybe you'll get lucky and get unbanned to...

Look, one of two things happen, you were autobanned by the server, or you were banned by staff. You have 5 realms, and I imagine prior to this your block log was fine so the server isn't going to trip if you find 4-5 veins of diamonds in a semi-short period of time. I've done it on multiple occasions when I've just been digging randomly at y-11, so I doubt an autoban is what happened.

So this leads me to believe staff was watching you as you were mining, and I'm guessing it was in dark tunnels and straight to diamonds on 4-5 occasions.

You won't be the first to lie about not X-raying and you won't be the last, so do staff a favor and just admit to it now before they just show up in your thread with screenshots proving you're a liar and make your ban just that much longer.

but it wasn't in a dark tunnel it was in a cave filled with lava but all but one of the veins were exposed I wasn't x raying and I mined them with the fortune 3 pick I wasn't x raying

[JonColmanator]

Just going to say this, even I wasn't that 'lucky' when I was using my X-Ray months ago.

You must've found the veins in a close enough space of time to make staff suspicious. How long roughly did it take you to find these 5-6 veins? It generally takes me the vast majority of a day to find that many without X-Ray. Even with X-Ray it took me quite a while to find that many.

[ssb0095]

I found them in about 15 minutes and when I was mining the last one that I saw I got banned for x raying

[dlgn]

There is an average of 3.097 diamond ore per chunk.

I wasn't cheating I swear I was just mining diamond and I found like 5 or 6 veins in one area

Sounds legit.

[ssb0095]

The key word in that is average, so its possible to get lucky and find more which is what happened to me as I have said before I a wasn't x raying.

[dlgn]

Five or six veins would be about 25-30 diamonds, which is two things, both of which oppose your unbanning:

1. Practically impossible
2. Not something that triggers the x-ray filter, meaning that you were banned by staff.
