Back in middle school, there was MC server drama over people stealing sand from around people's houses. And every big build involved destroying some nearby island for its resources.
I remember some server that basically existed as a work camp for the builder owner. They were accumulating cobblestone to recreate a 1:1 minas tirath. They would provide diamond tooling and you’d just mine and fill certain chests for them with cobble. The other resources you’d find served as your payment.
