[Minecraft] [1.8.x] MotK Minecraft Server - WORLD BACKUPS AVAILABLE!
DX7.EP:
Undoubtedly. Amid hearing this and other feedback, I would work on immediately implementing this (and as an added bonus, those who already have new world access get to keep it and whatever they have already), but Mojang's authentication servers are down. :U
I did attempt to disable the authentication in server properties, but then it will give a completely different UUID that will run foul of the whitelist. Plus inventories are tied to UUID information.
EDIT: Quick config changes are done. For those just tuning in, see this post for details on what it entails.
Also added: disabled crop trampling from players and mobs. This was set to be the case for some time now (presumably from the StuffStrafe era), but was re-enabled in 1.8 following a complete configuration redo. While the trampling is vanilla behaviour, I also think it is more of an annoyance than something useful.
A small community centre was built on new world, but isn't complete yet. It's also meant to be a temporary thing.
EDIT 2: Nether Fortress and a route to the End is found! Nether Fortress has an open cobble path; as for a stronghold, check a patch of pink wool to the east of the desert village somewhat to the north of spawn, then follow the restone path.
I also nerfed my original unlocked idea a bit as it felt a bit too ridiculous for a single player to take on. Be well-prepared anyways, however!
EDIT 3: (this is not important enough to make a new post IMO):
While I had the time, I decided to go ahead and get the whole unlock quest out of the way legitimately. As that quest states, I am obliged to post the results:
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
So with that, all warps and home-setting work on (almost) all worlds again. No more arbitrary new world warps or /sethome denials! (exceptions are areas where one isn't expected to reside for long, eg. museum)
As for the chest rewards in the second image, I left them there and even spiced them up a little, and reconstructed the End as it was set for the challenge - namely, 2 Enderdragons at once (they cannot, however, damage blocks at all, so pillaring up the obsidian pillars is perfectly workable), regular mobs spawning, and caged Ender Crystals as seen in the console versions of MC.
Name tags are also now craftable. Granted, they are already renewable via trading and AdvWorld loot, but IMO they should be more readily available. The recipe:
[attach=3]
Ink sack, feather, paper, and string. Shapeless recipe - order does not matter.
Lastly, biome changes (except for Nether and End biomes) in either new or old worlds are more than fine with me if you like. I just ask that the area look a little like the intended biome first - eg. if you want mushroom island biome in an area, there should be some mycelium and tall mushrooms around first.
DX7.EP:
I felt the need to point this out; admittedly, I should have given the notice sooner. :fail:
Because of a dearth of player activity in the past few months (and my own lack of interest in MC these days), I have decided to suspend server service. Before doing so, however, I have backed up everything* - worlds, plugin data, player inventories, configurations, you name it - onto local storage, and intend to upload it within the coming days.
Perhaps someone else will take the helm from here? :3
* - everything except Dynmap's map renders, that is. Adding those would have made the backup at least 10x / 30GB larger.
EDIT: The world files are up!
I'm still working with the plugins and configurations, however; I'm more than happy to share most of them (eg. plugin configs), but others (eg. whitelists) are better left to administration in the event of a possible successor server.
Quick explanation of the archives:
creative* - Creative world (/warp creative), used mostly for spawnside shenanigans. I doubt the Nether and End here were used though.
gefeliciteerd - Temporary world used as part of that whole 'unlock old world' ordeal I had in mind. The quest went from NW0 (1.8.x) -> AdvWorld 2 End -> Old world (+1.7.3 world) -> AdvWorld 1 End (modded to be a harder fight) -> this -> NW0 again, and it contained some NBT-edited items as a trophy.
hardland - Hard mode survival world (/warp hardland) where flying, home, dynmap, and such weren't an option. I think there was only one base here, aside from the spawn manor.
museum - The Museum of Minecraft History (/warp museum), made to hold BSoD's museum that was previously on flat world. Updated through 1.7.10 IIRC.
newworld - Survival world made using 1.7.3 or thereabouts (/warp world_old2 IIRC). Was made as main world had an older chunk generator, and I had hoped adding new land would increase interest and promote new building.
NW0* - 1.8 survival world (/warp newworld IIRC). I thought it was a neat little place.
world_flat - Flat world of creative content (/warp world_flat), where most of the shenanigans and fun projects are. Now you can ride the AFK Coaster to your heart's content! :P
world_nether - An old Nether that just exists. Nethers in my tenure tended to be tied to AdvWorlds, not this one.
world_the_end - See world_nether, same logic applies to Ends.
world - The 1.2.5 and 1.4.7 world we have called home since mid-2012!
AdvWorlds? - Nope! They remain as temporary as they have been since the StuffStrafe days, so backing these up was never going to happen. :P
1.0-era worlds?! - We had them converted and on server for some time, but they disappeared somehow. I still have Stuffman's original backups of these, and these are still available (albeit in 1.1 format).
I will admit that I could have been considerably more active with the upkeep of this server, more than just keeping it running and functional. Maybe it shows I'm not the type to arrange such events? Ah, whatever, what's done is done, and it's definitely time to move forward regardless.
Anyways, it has been a fun excursion running this on the behalf of the community, and I hope you have enjoyed your visits!
Until the next big piece of news...uh, anyone have stories of clientside destruction, speculative rumours, Magical Girl Shady, bread, odd political declarations, the (rarely sighted, yet highly destructive) DR. STRAAF, and anything else to share? :3

So, were there enough waifus?
DX7.EP:
I don't have an up-to-date list of that, actually. Better contact Sparda about it. :P
Tom:
I am interested in continuing the server by hosting it, I administrate 3 minecraft networks and we have a dedicated server machine that could host the MotK Minecraft server with ease, we also have networks systems in place to enable 1.5-1.12 versions on the same server in parallel.
