[PLSB16]

Username:

In-Game Name: MattressRoom

Reason for ban X-Raying

Length of ban: 7 days

Place of ban (e.g. in-game, Discord, etc.) In-game

Staff who banned you Rose

Did any other staff deal with you before you were banned? No

Did you receive warnings prior to your ban? No

Why do you think you were banned? Because I know how and where to find ores?
YouTube is a thing nowadays

What is your explanation for your actions? Why should you be unbanned? Because I wasn't xraying. Was actually talking to cranky in vc at the time and even showed proof while still in game even when she didnt ask for it.

What measures will you take to prevent this from happening again? I won't use my knowledge on finding ores anymore idek

How can you ensure we can trust you again? I can screen share when go mining next time if you would like...

What else would you like to say to the admins reviewing your appeal? Sorry that my rng is crazy

Hi MattressRoom, I was one of the admins who initially investigated the evidence for your ban. I have spoken to Cranky and she described to me the methods you displayed in vc, but this does not align with the mining pattern that we discovered. Are you able to tell me yourself more about how you were finding the ores?

Hey Miss Patient,

Yes ofcourse. So all I do is mine straight and if no luck i switch up my lane and do this untill I find blobs of tuff at i think around -y55ish, sometimes i hit the random vein of diamond ore or just any ore in general but then continue is just a direction either using super breaker and then staircase mine around the outside of the blobs as its quite common for diamond ores to attach to them (i dont know why but they do).

Its kinda like strip mining to tuff then staircase mining around the blobs, sometimes I'll hit gravel and just clear them all out exposing an area of blocks fast which helps aswell and then continue from the furtherest way from entry point.

I know it must look suspicious on paper but im really happy to show anyone over discord screen share if this is lifted or when the time is up. I feel really dumb mining for ores but im not exactly mining for the ores but for the exp orbs they give.

Sorry for wasting admin time on this and I wish you could all believe me one day when proven not guilty of xraying. There is honestly no need too at all with how tuff and deepslate diamonds spawn collide on the same depth levels.

I understand the new mechanic of diamonds spawning more frequently in deposits of tuff. However what I struggle to do is apply that to the block logs we have of you mining. I'm attaching some images of one of your tunnels and I'm going to explain it how I and two other admins see it.

With this image you start a tunnel from an existing cave. You immediately dig diagonally and then clear out a deposit of gravel, as you have described above. However, the blue circle where the deposit of diamonds are is not in the gravel.

This is the area with diamonds from above. What stands out to me is your decision to staircase up exactly where you would come across the diamonds. The yellow lines show the route you would have continued onto, where you would not have come across the diamonds at all. However, like you say, this might just be luck or a random decision to dig up. However, the next two imagesare what proves to me that this beyond luck.

This tunnel continues from the other, about 30-40 blocks ahead in a straight line. Again, the yellow is where you would have gone if you continued straight, missing both deposits of diamonds. It's here however that you hit the tuff. You immediately veer to one diamond deposit, and then loop back around your tunnel to get the second. This is not a coincidence to me. You did not staircase or clear the tuff as you said you typically would above, you just went straight from one point to the next.

This is a continuation again from that tunnel. You clearly have removed all the gravel, and then very convieniently dig a tunnel that not only hits the next cluster of ores, but also delivers you into the cave system and misses the lava. Which again, indicates to me that this is far beyond luck.

While I appreciate that there is a new feature to discover diamonds, these logs (plus several other pages showing you digging directly into more than just diamonds) do not exhibit how that method would be utilised. You very clearly have dug directly from one set of ores to the next, and for this reason I cannot accept your explaination.

Appeal Denied.
