Minecraft Server! (IMPORTANT POLL VOTE NOW)

[DX7.EP]

Already knew about your confidence in your pack, hence my recommendation right afterwards.

[Eraiya]

Oh, thanks for your kind words!

I only just recently found out where that one rail system is that leads to that one village with all the sprite art and the Hakurei tower. ;-;

[CadrinHaverit]

I only just recently found out where that one rail system is that leads to that one village with all the sprite art and the Hakurei tower. ;-;

Likewise, I've only just a while ago found out where that single subway line is that leads to that wasteland that looks like it was griefed in the past... You know, for newbies to the server, like me and... uh... I don't know, HakureiSM feels pretty clueless about that area as well, guess that counts. For newbies like me this feels like no man's land. People populate and develop the village which is a fair distance away from the ruins. It did not help that EP took me on a superfast sightseeing tour during which I'd lose my bearings after each teleport.

And they look phenomenal. I think only 4 people live there (which is still more than the population of the village, mind you). But what I saw took my breath away. Some ruined courtyards, among them a house of netherrack which looks like a spaceship moored in a rectangular dock below, the Void Hole, the Huge Crater left after a massive TNT explosion (the best part is, trees grow way down there; it looks amazing.), the ruined Kiershar-style mob grinder in the sky over the Netherland... And it felt even more eerie at night because for some reason, there was no hostile mobs on the surface as I walked through the frozen wastes. So many abandoned houses. Unprotected chests filled with rubbish and some forsaken personal belongings. I did not dare venture further, deeper down to the catacombs under each and every single one of the houses, although there's where the real treasure was hidden no doubt. It is just me who is keeping the most valuable redstone machines outside for everyone to use and advertises them just so that people would come and pay a visit more often. From what I heard, PX is having the same, only bigger, faster, stronger, better, and many more that I don't have. Plus traps. Oh, so many traps, no doubt.

There is something mighty exciting about that kind of exploration, you know? Underground exploration got boring, but this is really neat. These ruins actually have some back story to them. What story, well, that is yet to be found by me. No wonder Notch wants to implement ruins and settlements in 1.8 now.

Sometimes I wonder, why don't we live there anymore? It feels like everyone is so far away from other people. And as far as I can comprehend, the village is actually the least populated place on the server. The loneliness is getting to me at times.

[Agent of the BSoD]

Well, now I'm not a complete noob. I've been reading up on MC wiki and playing around in single player for a little bit. I've got a good idea what I'm doing now. I can do the basics pretty much. Build a bed, furnace, make ingots, and, of course, get blown up repeatedly by creepers. (I found a dungeon via a hole in the ground leading far to lava, which had infinite creepers apparently. At least I didn't die due to food) I've only died once, and that was due to ninja spider by my house.

[HakureiSM]

Likewise

This, very much.

That area got me completely baffled as well, and I am still lost, geographically.
All I know proper is (etc), since I was TPd there within 30 seconds after I spawned. I live there, and I don't know where that is.
I want to get to know that world better. My short sight-seeing experiment with Cadrin and later Dr. Strafe was pretty incredible.

[Jes_Isaive]

So, in the time it took PX to make all four of those sprites, I made 3/4 of Shinki, found out I couldn't get the hair to work, and then did this. I guess I should have made the keystones a little larger, but it looked right at the time.

Notch needs to add more wool colors.

[Dr.Strafe]

Ok.
Adrian still has /home set to the main world. He admits that he uses /item to get supplies. I imagine he can do this because he's in the Builder group.

I also wanted to note that the portal to Sphere is broken, so teleporation is the only way to transport between worlds.

Edit - DantheKillingMan escaped somehow... I cannot banish him again..

I know how to transport him back now.. Hopefully he didn't set a home in main..

I can assist with that, and I'd edit your post to not give out the name of the village. It's a little security measure we implemented.

I am already aware of the latter, and do not mind as much (unless builders have WE powers), but will insist him to /sethome in sphere. And make him test it.

TPing IIRC requires that someone else be in there as well, or that we go in there.

I don't really see the point in being secretive about the other community areas. Most of the present MoTK players already know of their existence. Besides, I don't think anyone on this forum would sabotage anything there.

It just seems unnecessary now...

Edit: Dan and adrian both came back on, so I sent Dan back to sphere... He managed to teleport out again.. *sigh*

It wouldn't be a problem if this thread was MotK members-only but guests can see this as well, and we can't track down who they are (they may be future griefers on the server, for all I care).
But I can agree that soon we should be able to take off the cover. It's getting increasingly hard to contain.

EDIT!
I found out that Default members CAN TP to community house via warps. Solution (since I can't delete or set warps yet) - cover the warp in bedrock all the way.

MotK members and fellow players, do NOT use /warp communityhouse!

[Dr.Strafe]

I'll add that if you get stuck in any of our bedrock prisons, inform a Mod and we'll get you out.

[DX7.EP]

We have a crippling Permissions issue - why is it that Bulders can bypass region protection but NOT Mods?
Tested with adrian in spawn jail.

[PX]

Because Builders are essentially Admins

[DX7.EP]

Because Builders are essentially Admins

In that case, we can also call adrian out for admin power abuse.

We'll really need to pressure DDR to expand mod powers (since we're on a lot more often), move a few to the MotK group (Rukin, HakureiSM, Cadrin, rizock, truros / Molten, AgentOfTheBSoD, others maybe), get rid of the builder group (and demote its members to regulars - they have more powers than we mods do in a sense!), ban all the sphere residents (I have a list), and reset Sphere world. Very soon - ASAP or even sooner!

And once all of us are somewhat settled, move the IP if possible and only let those of us in MotK know about this via batch PM.

...but going by recent stagnation, this isn't looking like it'll get fixed anytime soon. No direct approach to a solution to this makes this a hell of a lot harder than it should be. Getting exhausted as a result, and a bit angry.

On another note, the new spawn jail is quite effective at keeping new players and would-be-griefers out! Now if I could only bypass region protections so that I can get the tower moved....
...which I did thanks to a little WorldEditing goodness and having at least 1 block not region-protected in said base.

[Dr.Strafe]

I have excellent news: The UFO is now open to users with [MoTK] status!! Building a fort? Making a sprite? Run out of glass? Feel free to take anything from the chests that you would find useful.

I will be using the UFO as a collection point for various building materials in the game. The outer ring of chests will hold sorted blocks. The inner ring of chests will hold anything else of interest, or used as "overflow" chests if you need to open up inventory space.

Please note that there will not be any caches of iron, gold, diamond, or obsidian. You're on your own on finding these materials.

Unfortunately, with the recent changes to the Community House, getting to the UFO has gotten more difficult. That issue will get solved soon.(hopefully) Also, since people of [Member] status cannot access any chests, [MoTK] users can be the "middle-man" for them. This should only be for users that will become [MoTK] users once DDR approves them.

I hope this helps!!

My account name is the same as it is here (minus the spaces): AgentOfTheBSoD

All right, now that I have a decent idea of what I should be doing. I'll be getting in there shortly.

Spoiler:

now to enjoy the bedrock~

Your first mission is to make the Mokou Church in village.

BTW since some of you wanted link: Optimine + Optifog
(It doesn't do much about the crazy lag spikes of death from my experience, however)

EDIT: Fixed link to the right version after BSoD noted it didn't work.

Didn't work. It broke the game. I just got a black screen when Mojang was supposed to show up. Nothing happened afterward. I love backups~ (yes, I did follow the instructions exactly)

Mokou Church is awesome church. I'll... erm.... Mokou'll be happy.

I realized I linked the wrong version! It's here actually. :derp:
Fixed original link too.

Hence my edit, etc. :derp:

[Eraiya]

... This may be a bit drastic, and this is just hypothetically speaking, but, what about the possibility of moving to a new server? Can anyone think of a solid, detailed list of the pros and cons? I'm about to collapse in bed, so I'm not up to that whole "thinking" thing right now.

Um, which one should I get? I know there's texture packs out there, but I prefer original textures. Does the HD one at the top use those, or is that the one I should be using? Can't tell when there's multiple ones on that page. >_<

Top one. It allows HD textures but those come separately.

[Agent of the BSoD]

Alright, thanks! I'll try it and see what happens. I'll let you know.

EDIT: It's, it's, just, WONDERFUL! Great fps so far. (the only thing I have to note is the distorted Mojang logo upon startup. It's like it's melting or something)
I'll have to tinker with the settings for a while cause it's what I do.

[DX7.EP]

Strafe and I are considering warping the community house somewhere else. The best part is, the /warp communityhouse remains the same so they'll be stuck in old land .

We are considering a place between the village and the fortress, since most of us seem to be there. As for the remaining house, we aren't going to jump into action yet, since we don't want to surprise regular players.

Either way, in the new one you'll have to LWC your chests again Eraiya. Apparently WE is a great way to look into protected chests until we get proper regions bypasses. But WE will not copy over LWC permissions, just chest contents.

[Bio]

most of us

:V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V

[DX7.EP]

too many :Vs

You are the obvious outlier here, of course.

I'm still torn on this decision. We shouldn't have to resort to such drastic measures to thwart these RP morons. Access to /ban would clear this up...

DDR, please come out of hiding and help us address this serious issue.

^ This. I'm one griefing incident away from taking even more drastic measures to get your assistance with this.
