Gifting is Back! And it's Improved!

/gift is now back on Noobstown!

You've been asking for it for months now and we've finally brought back a new form of gifting just in time for Noobmas! You can now use /gift [name] again to send gifts to other players in-game. This time it uses a slightly different (but hopefully nicer) way to collect though.

Each player can now receive 54 gifts at once without having to collect them (that's a possible of over 93,000 items which could be waiting for them)! When you send a gift just use /gift [name] and it will open an extra inventory on top of yours, put any items you want to send to the user in there and then close your inventory; they'll automatically then be sent to that user. You can now sent up to 5 gifts to each player without them having to collect any from you!

To collect a gift you've received just do /gift collect. This will open a new menu which lists all of the gifts you've received! Just find the one you're looking for (most recent ones are shown first) and click on the sender's head to claim it; the items they sent will then be passed on to your real inventory! It's that simple! There is no extra chest like previously.

We were aware with the old system that people often received gifts annoyingly from players they didn't want to. So now you can block a player from sending you gifts; just use /gift block [name] and they won't be able to send you anymore gifts!

If you believe you had items left from the previous gifting system which you never collected please PM me, and I'll transfer it over to the new system for you!

I hope you all really enjoy this change, we know people loved the old system and hopefully this one will be even better! If you've got any questions or ideas regarding this just respond! If you notice any bugs with it you must report them.

Hi, in order to receive a gift of two items (stacked) I had to clear my entire inventory to accept it.

Hi, in order to receive a gift of two items (stacked) I had to clear my entire inventory to accept it.
This is on purpose to ensure that people can make a special layout for the items they are gifting (they can make a fancy pattern with the items). For example if someone puts their items in the layout like the picture in the first post; then when the person receiving it opens it, it'll be laid out exactly like that. If we were to allow the number of items to simply be added to existing items within the inventory it would be much harder to establish what the gift actually was and wouldn't allow the layout customisation like it does currently.

You can however keep your hotbar with items; it is only the main top three rows which must be cleared. If you just want to give other people items which aren't necessarily gifts (and as such the layout doesn't really matter) you can do so using /trade or through a chest, or by simply passing the items physically to them.

Oooooh, well isn't that nifty!  I didn't know about the trade thing.

Thanks for the info, that's fun!
