hi, am back after a shortish leave from minecraft, back to my fav server, and noticed the rules had changed.
i remember that after the rules there was a list of banned items, do they still stand? it was like building stuff out of obsidian,gold,bricks, ect(rare stuff)

also minecarts, can we use minecarts now?

Rules are here: http://www.crazy-fools.co.uk/page.php?15

Minecarts can be used now yes

And no, you can use those items now.

Only items which remain banned are fire, flint n steel, and TNT.

There is no banned items now.
Cart's are working.
Only thing is TNT: It can't destroy blocks, only your hp.

Welcome back, Jetter! I don't believe any rare items are banned. I think they were banned before because of duping but duping is now impossible.

Just keep in mind, when building out of rare materials (Iron, gold, and diamond blocks ect.,) you are taking a gamble, and items won't be replaced if griefed.
(To my understanding.)

We don't replace any items. Just easier to be honest. Yes we will go around a repair structures to the best of our ability.

However we won't replace lost inventories and golden block floors.

Just due to past experiences.
