Come one, come all! Try your luck on PvE this weekend during our St. Patrick's day event! This weekend [Friday Evening ET 17th - Sunday Morning ET 19th March] we're running a St Patrick's Day themed texture pack on PvE, made by Zaliek. Leprechauns will be roaming PvE, armed with enchanted shillelaghs and shamrocks. I suggest you armour up and pack a water bucket or some fire-resistance potions; some of the shillelaghs are quite nasty. Death messages are 27% greener and custom mobs with very special loot! The leprechauns drop gold and alcoholic beverages, and occasionally they drop treasure maps. A looting sword will work in your favour. If you run to the coordinates on the treasure map, you will find a pot of gold under a fractured rainbow that may contain various valuable gold items. But you need to be quick, or the pot of gold will disappear before you find it! Good luck!

January Suggestion Box 1. "/ignore-all" ignores everyone for when you want a moment of peace -we are discussing this with the tech admins! 2. Doing "/c #channel when you're not in it should NOT return a message like it's private -we are discussing this with the tech admins! 3. Could we have more nether portals? They would really encourage more nether development. - We have decided not to add more nether portals for Rev 19. We will be discussing the idea for Rev 20. 4. Service plugin (1.11) to disable the spawning of the new villager types. -We have discussed and will be allowing the new 1.11 villagers. 5. Commands that can be used once a day that initiate votes to change to day/night/rain. - We have discussed this idea and will not be moving forward with it at this time. 6. Have glass drop sand. -We have discussed this idea and will not be moving forward with it at this time. We feel there is enough sand currently out there for use. If you are worried about using sand in any given area, just ask around or find an admin for assistance. 7. Build next spawn like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Response: https://youtu.be/fx_9E0Uu9Cg

Ducks.

Posting from work, but wanted to remember to respond. Testing was fabulous! I genuinely had fun and look forward to it!

Note for defie: go look at the subreddit post for more responses! Link to subreddit.

December Suggestion Box 1. All staff (esp admins) should know how to do stuff on mumble. -Each of us have our strong points and contrary to popular belief, we do not know everything. We will defer to others that have greater knowledge when it is approperiate 2. Admins should moderate moderators and not instigate players. If you are having issues with either moderators or CAdmins/PAdmins, please get hold of the Head Admins as this is their territory. Current Head Admins are Silversunset, Sir_Didymus, and Trooprm32. 3. make "/chairs off" persist over relogs -we are discussing this with the tech admins! 4. alias "lifealert' to '/modreq helpI've fallen (in a hole) and can't get out' This was discussed and at this time we are not going to add this to our public commands list. Please use genchat or /modreq for assitance. 5. The ability to bottle accumulated xp into xp bottles to use to repair mending gear. We have discussed and this is not something we will be implementing. 6. defiex smells http://tinyurl.com/jgmxvov 7. Include a rail station in the next rev's spawn for central access This was discussed, but not something we will be implementing at this time. It takes away from allowing players to build their own stations and town-to-town interaction. 8. when we have rocket boosting in 1.11: super high flight duration stuff from events. -insuffient information, please catch a padmin to elaborate. 9. doppleganger named "dobbleganger" spawns on exact copy of dobreira's horse Dopplegangers can only spawn as players, not as other game mobs. Sorry! 10. More nutshack references Uncle Tito says no. 11. When we have rocket boosting in 1.11: super high flight duration stuff from events Insufficient information from this suggestion, please let us know more detail/what in particular you'd like. 12. Event charged creepers shouldn't be subject to moblimiter "age" culling Mobs can be retained by using "nametags" during events as well as during normal spawning times.

Hey folks, I'm locking this thread as we now have a Rev 19 Changelog thread!

Just posting a follow up, even though it was already posted in the info post, but wanted to close this suggestion out: Decorative TNT is now craftable using the vanilla recipe as of Rev 19 on PvE!

If you didn't know, we have a command called /suggestion-box that lets users anonymously submit suggestions that the admins can then read. Each month, I will add the suggestions as they come in and their status, updating as responses are made! We will have the current months suggestions attached to this post and then will move them down as we go. 4th September Suggestion: Maybe with the live map, there should be a plugin for boundaries claimed by players with like a yellow border aroud their base Our Response: We took the time to look into whether this suggestion was at first technically feasible and it seems that Dynmap does offer a means to create overlays on the livemap, similar to how this image appears. Given that most claims are not in simple cuboid shapes, this may cause issues with the overlay and we do not wish to enforce cuboid claims to please the livemap. While this overlay is not something we're keen to pursue further, we do want to point out that we encourage place requests to come through so we can consider them for the livemap. Failing that, there is a community contributed deadmap which can also help to see where settlements are. 14th September Suggestion: Implement a plugin to allow line-by-line editing of books and quills. Our Response: Thank you for your suggestion. We've all been there at some point or another where you've needed to edit a page of a book only to need to go back through and redo all of the pages back to that point. We took some time to investigate as to whether there was such a plugin available and in our searches so far we have come up short. What we did find are plugins that could open up the potential for exploits to be used through these books, not too dissimilar to incidents which have been experienced on creative in recent times. While this is something we would aim to thoroughly test for with any new plugin, we'd be keen to hear submissions for any plugins which seem to do just what you are requesting. With this in mind, we would not like to pursue such a plugin for now unless one can be proposed that merely allows you to edit any part of the book text, nothing more. What we would recommend considering is looking up some online minecraft book editors as tools exist out there to help plan out books in advance. It does mean having to type them out once on a website and again in-game but it would afford the luxury of not needing to make edits when you make the final version of your book on P.

Hey folks, the purpose of this thread is to provide a list of changes/events/other things that the PAdmins are doing to/in/for PvE to keep you guys in the loop of what is going on.

I'll probably be away December 23rd through December 26th visiting family in WV.

Because I didn't realize I hadn't posted. We've talked about it and I think for now we're going to leave it as the dash greeting. Buzzie's correct that at this point, it's part of P Culture. Besides, we're so very friendly that the players welcoming the new person works just the same way. There's also a "Welcome to PvE!" in the alert rotation. For now, we're not going to change it.

We shall make a googledoc!! And nag! ::cackle::

And thus I remembered I forgot to send in my nominations with all the new rev hubbub....

I added it to our meeting notes for tonight. I'll talk with the others and let you know. :)

Keep up the comments everyone! Thanks for the feedback!

Moar planned inactivity: Going to be on a trip to DE September 29th through October 3rd

Forced inactivity... I have the flu/ will be recovering from it so I will likely not be around much if at all this week. I'd rather not muck up an admin-req in my Nighttime NyQuil induced haze. Get your flu shots people!

Complain at me until it gets done. I'm still learning the Padmin ropes, but after last week's meeting I have a better grip on things and will be able to respond in a much timelier manner.

I have an idea, but it's not nearly as awesome as the current lobby. *So* pretty....

Hi Zomise, We talked about this tonight and will be checking to see if we can port this over to P. We want to make sure it doesn't break anything before we do so.

I would absolutely love having a mini-game server in addition to Pve. Sometimes I just get tired of building and want to do somsething else, which leads me away from the server completely. If I had some mini-games to play, I'd likely be there instead of running around in circles playing GTA. Even when people built little games on the P server, like the mini puttputt, it was super fun to play with others. THough I suppose that would be a mini, mini, mini-game.

Weazol. Thank you. Ohgawd thank you. I turned off whatever that mod was from because it ended up being too hard to differentiate my blocks while in my inventory. <3
