Hello, Ill answer these to the best of my ability, Chunk loaders are banned because A) They can load 150 chunks so they can cause lag, for example: Mr.Tom, makes a lot of chunk loaders (because he is at end-game) and they load his mining machines, base etc so he generates a total of 600 chunks, the average loaded by every player is 100ish so while he isnt on (and in most cases the player never returns)

Mr.Jim lags sadly because all the players and Mr.Toms chunk loaders create so much RAM usage and lag the server, but we stop this by making the loader a donator item so the other reason is B) Its a donator item because the donator can help upgrade the server with his or her donation gaining us more RAM and them a loaded base for there contribution

(also because they have donated they are more likely to stay with the server and put the loader to actual use, rather than leaving). You can of course use world anchors but because a lot of ender pearls are required we thought it would be best not to corner players into a Pay-to load your base server (I have witnessed servers where you had to buy everything to get far end-game but with this server thats not the case)

so the world anchor provides a solution to players who wish to not purchase a chunkloader which of course is perfectly understandable i would never force players to pay on the server. Canvas bags are a completely different story as you may or may-not know they are a duping device
