Notable alumni
gollark: > hdds are more reliable than ssds in servers!!!
gollark: On SwitchCraft many things are basically free, such as land, housing (if you don't care about location) and cobblestone, some things are probably not that scarce (iron, advanced computers), and some things are pretty scarce and thus valuable, such as high-end enchanted books and shulker boxes.
gollark: Also, some stuff like enchanted books are fairly scarce.
gollark: Opus has a good one, apparently, but managing turtles is still annoying.
gollark: Automining isn't *that* great yet.
