Minecraft

I am having some issues with the mod I have installed...currently the server is down for maintenance...watch here to find out what I do, and when the server will be back up...
 
Cool to hear about a christian minecraft server. I usually use CSTMinecraft.tk, where I have one map dedicated to Christian gamers, but not a dedicated server.

Looking forward to seeing it whenever it's fixed. :)
 
Activity on my server has dropped fast...and with the health update things are kinda crazy... But I did find out the CCgaming has a MC server...that is very active...and well maintanided... As much as I DON'T want to shut my server down...it seems like they have a better grasp on things and what not... :P I have not decided if I will shut my server down...but I suggest you check out their server over mine... :P (Direct link to their MC forum)

Please ignore my last post... I lost sight of my responsibility and by agreeing to make my server an official part of ToJ...it is my responsibility to keep the server up, fun, and available to all ToJ members...

There will be some major changes coming to the server, and hopefully changes that will be make the server more enjoyable...and more active :)

Roger that. I played a little bit today and took a blank spot to make Gerbilownia. Ran from everything as my sword hit like wet paper and only lasted for 4 cows (must be tough beef, hate to eat them).

Nah it was more than likely the damage issue Notch spoke of in his patch though I will check out the patch later. In single player a metal sword lasts for more than 4 cows and does not take the jillion hits it did to kill one (I actually did gauge it too from new metal sword to broke took 4 cows).
 
Weapons should be fixed now...kinda...anyways...I posted this in our facebook group:

I came up with an idea...how would you like if there were 3 "normal" ranks... Survivalist, Normal, and Builder...

Survivalist would get access to no commands or special features... Normal would get the same commands and kits that I would normally give someone... Builder would have many more commands including a limited /give command and/or lots of kits...

And everyone could play as they wanted...

What are your thoughts?

I'm not actually sure what "kits" or special features entail or how ranks would be distributed. My thoughts are people building would probably want to be of equal ability of everyone else. It's kind of a "I don't want to play anymore" scenario when you struggle for a long time for resources to build something nice only to have someone instantly have more resources than you. No one would like to compete trying to build the most interesting structure in those conditions. I'm not against special abilities only that everyone would have to have a chance to get them. I'm only speaking of abilities that would help you build not harmless ones like a giant head mode or something.

Note: Somewhere on your server Gerbilowina is taking shape but I'm not saying were until it is more impressive :D . I think I am going to need some gold though...

Note: Sorry I don't use Facebook I don't want their e-mail spam :p .

As long as it is not going to hurt anyone's feelings, or make them not play on our server...I think I am going to do a server wipe (for many good reasons)...but nothing is official yet...more information coming soon...

Would this get rid of what we've built?
Click to expand...

Yes...which is why I will NOT do it if ANYONE has a big issue with it...

There are many reasons for wanting to do this... One, Notch is working on a creative mode multiplayer, separate from survival multiplayer... Two, our server is not fit for full on survival with all the buildings and vast items just sitting around in boxes... Three, some of our world is slightly bugged due to some corrupt files from an old update (very low possibility of this happening again)... Four, so far even those who have build much, have given me the green light to wipe the server... Five...it would be more fun :D

Please let me know your thoughts... :)

EDIT: I have made a new map for testing to see if we prefer a FULL SURVIVAL server...don't worry I did NOT delete the old world...it is safe, and a revert is easy...but for now the FULL survival server is up...let me know what you think...but again, if it would cause anyone to become upset to lose their stuff...we will revert...let me know... :)

It's better to wipe it now rather than later when I actually get done with stuff. I'm kinda perfectionist about my creations so I've got different things I'd like to try with them anyway.

Before we start building a lot I'd like to suggest cordoning off an area for creating a building for public storage/train depot at the main spawn point. I'd log in to check the area but I don't have the time right now. I've got a design idea with building the track 3 squares off of sea level will allow people to go under it while keeping most monsters off it. Can't build it higher as one would suffer fall damage falling off it. I'll start one if no one has it already built when I log in later. I'll destroy it too if you guys don't want it.

You will have to show me in game what you guys want. That's double the metal if I understand correctly. Regardless I don't plan on putting in all the tracks by myself. I just want to get it started before someone puts up another track system further away or an outhouse or something in the location XD . We can change it around or add to it later. You can do so by yourself at your discretion too. I think the building at the beginning spawn point should be a public building for everyone's use/ownership.

Probably should have an arena area zoned nearby for the same reasons.

The dark tower was the "community" place for the old world...but I don't know if a community building would be a good idea for a full survival server... But I would like to encourage everyone to connect a road from their homes to the spawn point :)

Uh why I'd think people would like a safe house to start in?

Started building there before I saw your post and after a short bit the no-build destroy zone expanded :( . As it is I cannot continue or remove the building there :( . Helpz.

Once fixed do you want me to remove it or continue?

On another note how was the dark tower built with so much obsidian? I didn't think you could make infinite lava anymore and it certainly took a lot. Regardless I don't plan to build the public building out of it. It's to difficult to remove if need be.
