Enable TNT duping with pistons to build automatic cobblestone farms, tree farms, basalt farms, obsidian farms, etc. Without duping, we must farm gunpowder and sand to craft TNT, which is time-consuming and impractical for large-scale automation. Duping makes these farms work easier

true, they help with auto farms but we also have 2 types of auto farms on the server (/farm get) and (/minions), also tnt duping makes it easier to grief and be an ass to new players who haven't figured out the claim system.

So as per the rules, if you don't claim it's on you. So that's not really something I'm taking into consideration. Also the system regenerates if it's TNT damage. I do agree, we have auto farms as is that handles a lot of automation, and I am more concerned about allowing duping systems and where the exploiting can go from that.

On the concern about exploits, TNT duping with pistons is specific. There's something like "allow-piston-duplication" Unlike general duplication glitches like item duping, TNT duping is limited to TNT and requires precise redstone setups, making it hard to abuse.

"making it hard to abuse" That's the thing that worries me.

ig in this early stage, there's no need to worry about abuse with regard to the players we have now and we are overwatching all the time.

Appreciate the thought, but no — we’re not enabling piston TNT duping.

Saying there's no need to worry right now because the current players are fine completely ignores how servers actually work. You don’t make server-wide policy changes based on the current player list. You make them based on what keeps the server stable, fair, and scalable as it grows.

TNT duping gives infinite explosives for free. That’s not just a quality-of-life change — it breaks progression, trivializes builds, and turns one bad actor or missed moment into a potential server-crashing disaster. And yes, even with constant “overwatching,” we’re not going to micromanage who uses which machine every day.

If the community really isn’t abusing anything right now, great — then they don’t need duping to enjoy the game either.

We're not setting ourselves up for problems later just to save someone time crafting TNT. The answer’s no.
