Wow, this is really a surprise. The 8.5 years I have been on this forum have been an amazing experience, it will be sorely missed. The forum admins and moderators have been fantastic to work with over the years and have shown me that even a gaming community can have incredible, professional staff working behind the scenes to make everything better.

This is exactly what makes mod packs so compelling (at least for the Java Edition). You can find mod packs that add additional advanced content with bigger challenges, with some mod packs being so brutal and unforgiving that would challenge even the most seasoned Minecraft players.

For the Java edition of Minecraft, you could try using a mod like the NoCreativeDrift mod to disable that creative mode drift effect.

When posting suggestion threads, you are only allowed to post one idea (or closely-related group of ideas) per thread. This thread contains multiple unrelated ideas and is considered a wish list, which is not allowed. Please post each separate idea in its own thread so that people aren't confused about which idea is being discussed.
Locking.

People with suggestions for Minecraft can post their ideas in their own threads -- we don't need a separate thread for this. Since your thread appears to be related to a mod, I am moving this thread to the requests/ideas for mods section.

When posting suggestion threads, you are only permitted to include one idea (or closely-related group of ideas) per thread, and you are required to include the information directly in the thread (not linking to an external site). This thread does not contain a suggestion, but merely links to a wish list on an external site, both of which are not allowed for this section.

Yeah, unfortunately, the spam issue is possibly much bigger than you might be aware. If it hasn't been mentioned previously, the video spam issue started when some big YouTuber posted a video back in late 2020 about how to make money posting spam on Internet forums -- and they included a detailed example of posting on the Minecraft forum. We were blindsided by the amount of spam that we suddenly started seeing. The forum anti-spam software is slowly improving on detecting and hiding that spam, but we still do see some slip through -- I would bet less than a few percent are visible by the regular forum users.
In the first year of that video being on YouTube, the forum was visited by more than 500,000 new spam-posting users -- that averages at more than 1300 per day for that period. We are now down to an average of about 600-700 new spam users joining per day, and what the forum software doesn't hide with its spam filter functionality, it at least censors most of the spam links using other functionality. We can't really make those posts with censored links be hidden automatically simply because we are now down to roughly 10 forum staff that assist with this forum, and I am not sure we have the time or programming expertise to dig through the forum software and add that functionality. Since we are no longer part of Curse, we can't rely on their software development team to assist with that. Basically, in a nutshell, we are trying to do everything that we can do to solve this giant spam issue, but we are severely limited in what we can realistically do.

As far as I know, you still need to wait 30 days before you can change it back, however nobody can steal your old username until 37 days has passed, so you have 7 days after the 30-day waiting period to get your old username back.

If you are looking for someone to play Minecraft with, you should try posting in the active "looking for" thread:
https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/2485318-need-a-friend-to-play-minecraft-with-click-here
If you are looking to join a server, you can post applications to threads in the Servers forum section. If you wish to start a server, you can post a server thread in that section.

We are no longer permitting individual "looking for" threads in the Minecraft: Java Edition discussion forum sections.

People aren't allowed to post claims related to Herobrine (or any other creepypasta) on these forums, since it causes problems and isn't really of any value to the forum users.

You can ask people their general opinion about this server idea, but if you want to recruit for players, you will need to post a thread in the PC Servers forum section. We won't allow people to post applications to join a server in this thread, but they are free to post their thoughts about your idea.

We generally don't close suggestion threads unless they are violating one of the forum rules. Even though this suggestion has very little chance of ever being implemented by Mojang, it is still a valid suggestion (although maybe a bit light on the details).

Your chests shouldn't have burned, since as far as I know, Minecraft chests are fire and lava proof. If your chests are gone, then either someone manually broke them or they blew up from a creeper or TNT.

I have restored your post. The spam filter can sometimes be a bit overzealous for new users.
