  1. Hello,

    Banned By Reason Time Banned Server
    cheezychicken ban baiting nerd.nu/appeal 17 hours, 33 minutes ago

    c.nerd.nu

    You were banned due to deliberately misleading staff into banning a player. While you say that your claim of grief, and then silence regarding the conversation you had earlier with the perpetrator was just jokes, I'm not entirely sold.

    Regardless I think you essentially covered what I was going to say in your appeal, so I will just reiterate: When dealing with staff, you shouldn't joke around or withhold information unless you are sure the staff member knows the full picture. Otherwise, innocent people who are only victims of a misunderstanding will be wrongfully banned.

    You are unbanned.

    c.nerd.nu

    We don't allow people to intentionally glitch or abuse mechanics to get out of arenas or past the worldborder. I'm not sure what exactly you were intending to do by eating a chorus fruit in the arena, but I'm certain it wasn't in keeping with the spirit of the adminhunt. Next time if you do happen to get somewhere you shoudn't, make a /modreq and wait for a staff member to get you back where you should be.

    You have been unbanned.

  3. Rev 26 suggestion box

    Sorry for the lateness! We'll try and get the next batch done faster.

    A command that ignores public chat, but that keeps clanchat and whispers. Preferably that doesn't reset every server restart.

    • We’ll pass this on to the techs and see if this can be added to the server.

     

    add trader to spawn that sells shroomlights and blackstone

    • We’re adding these to the spawn traders!

     

    We should be able to modreq Knockback books be applied to sticks for use in Spleef arenas to play EXTREME SPLEEF!!!

    • Keep an eye on the spawn traders, a wacky stick will be available soon!


     

    Make a "quick relog" command that teleports you to the lobby and then back to PvE so that you can relog to fix chunk errors and whatnot quicker

    • Relogging doesn’t take long, and most of the time is loading the world, so we don’t feel this is worth the development time.

     

    use doppelganger plugin to do a custom structure to summon a squad of brutes, one of which will drop pigstep disc

    • We’ll try and have an event where there are mobs that drop pigstep.

     

    drachnerds for haste II potions

    • We’ll look into adding a potion seller to spawn, but the more powerful ones will likely be event token or dragon heart trades.

     

    wonder 20 steve head should be enchanted, if that does indeed cause a glow effect

    glowing splash potion (65536 minutes)

    • Sadly we can’t find a way to enchant skulls.

     

    bugfinder prize: bane X on your own head (you thought about smashing bugs!)

    • We’re working on a reward for the people who have stumbled into our snafus and reported them - More on this soon!

     

    don't fall for the siren song of enabling gilded blackstone to be obtained elsewhere - there are still bastions all over

    • We’ll keep this in mind!

     

    implement a max height on the dragon fight in addition to the outer limit for bosses, zeus gets real fuckin high

    • We’ll look into this, for the moment be sure to not use a punch bow to help him stay grounded.

     

    I think we should remove the rankings of the horse stats. At least health. It contributes to lag as people get into an arms race to get the highest horse health

    • There’s no contribution to lag from people feeding horses golden carrots.

     

    Please add a small level of difficulty to the perfect villager system: Should have to "recharge" your villager once a month by giving a large sum of emeralds to padmins, otherwise this is far too easy to get. Emeralds increase as rev go on

    • This is great feedback. Villagers continue to be the main source of ticks in game. The latest timings report from totemo showing villagers taking up 18.5% of the total tick and dropped items (mainly at overly large pumpkin farms) coming in second place at 3.18% of the tick. As such, we don’t want to discourage people from using the perfect villagers as they do help with server lag.

     

    nerd.nu should have its own Matrix room, Matrix being a privacy oriented chat protocol.

    • We’ll pass this to the heads, but I think as we already have the forums, reddit, discord and in game as ways to communicate there isn’t much worth in adding another.

     

    pipe dream: a 'timezones' plugin? it'd be kinda neat to have folks be at different times of day across the server heh

    • This is an interesting idea, but is a lot of work for something that will likely not add to the gameplay experience. Most people stay in one place most of the time, so won’t see much of a change.

     

    change the '--- was granted citizenship of Pompeii' to '--- was elected mayor of Pompeii' 😛

    • Message added!

     

    move the shulkers spots in spawn to somewhere you can actually find and use them without having to just leave spawn instead

    • I’ve added some more spots next to the north and south exits.

     

    so like, you know how if you fall through the end void, you TP to the top of the overworld? Make it so if you fly high enough in the overworld, it teleports you to a random spot in the end

    • We’ll see if this can be implemented, it sounds like fun!

     

    Create a spawn trader that sells "Disguises" for your villagers that can change what biome clothes your villager looks like

    • We’ll look into how much work this will be to implement.

     

    In the Bedrock Edition, jukeboxes disable adjacent hoppers when a music disc is playing inside them. Because the hoppers are re-enabled when the song ends, a system of hoppers can be used to automatically eject and reinsert the disc when it

    • We don’t think this is something worth creating a plugin for, as it will likely just lead to laggy autoloading mechanisms.

     

    i want to nominate Nolanater (forgot the numbers after his name) as a moderator. I feel he is mature enough to handle the position and smart enough to use the power wisely and continue to keep nerd.nu as great as it is already.


     

    Death messgae suggestions: Drowned: [Player] drowned. Sweet Berries: [Player] experienced a berry painful death.

    • Thanks for the suggestions, they have now been added!

     

    Bring back the global end dragon death sound!

    • When the sound was global there were a lot of complaints about it. We think that the current chat notification is a decent compromise between destroying people’s ears and celebrating the dragon being killed.

  4. Hi there, as you may notice in your first photo your claim fence replaced the original spawn road that was placed there, made of quartz. I (perhaps naively) didn't protect the small stubs of road, in the hopes that people wouldn't grief them even without a region. The other Padmins and I were made aware of what you were doing, and after a short discussion agreed that it was grief and therefore should be rolled back. I sent you a /mail and gave you a few days to allow you to make changes because I recognised that it was the entrance to your base and therefore may need some action on your end. Since there was no response I rolled your grief back, in accordance with the standard procedure for grief that every staff member follows. I recognise that you had no ability to respond, but I couldn't have known that until today.

    The region covering your entrance, that created the "player trap", was extended ~5 blocks below ground level, as is policy for protecting builds. I have since shrunk this so that it only covers the road itself, allowing you to build a short tunnel to maintain access to your existing base without griefing the spawn build again. I would also like to point out that this "player trap" had an exit, back down into your base, from which you could create another entrance quite easily; this is why I am referring to it in quotes.

    Your argument for why what you did was not grief seems to boil down to "it wasn't in a region" and "it wasn't in a claim", when regions and claims are not required for grief protection in any situation. I understand that you may have made an assumption that the build could be modified, but at the end of the day you modified another player's build without permission, and that is one of the base definitions of grief.

    To answer your questions:

    1. If staff follow a different rule set to players, could it be published?

    Staff follow the same rules as everyone else, there are no exceptions to any rules for staff.

           2. Should penalties for staff rule-breaking be the same as for regular players? More severe? Less?

    In the rare cases that a staff member does break the rules, they are dealt with in the same way as any other player. 

           3. If building player traps is still a rule-breaking offence for both staff and us plebs, could staff training be improved so that newer staffers are less likely to make this mistake?

    As this was not a player trap, this isn't really applicable. I will accept that in certain cases rollbacks do create situations where players get stuck, but this is an unavoidable consequence of reverting blocks that have been placed or destroyed, and is generally fixed with a modreq to get out of the "trap".

    I'd be happy for other staff and players to chime in with their thoughts and opinions. If I genuinely got it wrong I am more than happy to revert the rollback, but there's no new information within this post that would change my mind.

    cheezychicken Multiple instances of rules being broken after warning. nerd.nu/appeal 52 minutes ago c.nerd.nu

     

    The main issue here is these:

    Someone being warned for 4 different rules being broken within 5 days is not a pattern I want to allow to continue on the server. Please make sure you read and understand the rules. If you have any questions about them or any other problem, please ask a member of staff.

    I will unban you tomorrow. If you continue to cause issues in the server the next ban will be significantly longer.

    cheezychicken Xray nerd.nu/appeal 20 hours, 24 minutes ago

    c.nerd.nu

    You were banned for a lot of pretty blatant xray. The punishment is a week ban and a full rollback of all edits. If you haven't been unbanned by the 11th please contact any staff member and they will unban you. Please remove any client modifications that allow for xray or any other behaviour that is against our rules before reconnecting to the server.

     

  7. Hi, sorry for the delay.

    As you seem to understand why we felt that your actions were unacceptable and that next time you find a big or glitch you should report it rather than taking advantage, you are unbanned.

    I do hope that you now use your "abilities", as you put them, to good use. I know that there's a lot of bugs that the admins miss, and we do appreciate people notifying us of them.

    cheezychicken xray nerd.nu/appeal 1 week, 3 days ago

    c.nerd.nu

     

    Since this is the second time you have been banned for xray the ban time is 1 month. As a further punishment for pestering other staff members with this rather than following the correct method I'll push this to a month from today, 09/10/2020.

    This is reliant upon you actually posting a proper appeal in response to this thread. The appeal you have currently posted isn't sufficient for me to believe you actually learnt your lesson and understand the rules.

  9. Hi,

    cheezychicken Abuse of server glitches. nerd.nu/appeal 1 day, 22 hours ago

    c.nerd.nu

    You were banned for knowingly abusing server glitches. After discussion with the other Padmins we've decided to ban you for a month. I do hope you take this on board so that next time you find a bug or glitch you notify a staff member rather than taking advantage. We are looking at giving some sort of reward to players who catch our slip-ups and notify us so the admins can fix it in the hopes this can help further dissuade you and others from abusing them.

    cheezychicken Lots of Xray nerd.nu/appeal 1 day, 22 hours ago c.nerd.nu

     

    You were banned for a lot of pretty blatant xray. The punishment is a week ban and a full rollback of all edits. If you haven't been unbanned by the 17th please contact any staff member and they will unban you. Please remove any client modifications that allow for xray or any other behaviour that is against our rules before reconnecting to the server.

  11. When I cleared your inventory you had full diamond armour and diamond tools. You also mined roughly 50 blocks of diamonds. You were last seen on the server on June 15th, 2 days ago. If this truly wasn't you all I can recommend is changing your minecraft password to ensure this doesn't happen again. Actions on an account are tied to that account, so your ban will stand even if it was not you personally that broke the rules.

    I went around your diamond mining and found multiple instances of fairly blatant xray.

    Our policy for xray is a full rollback of all edits and a week ban. If you aren't unbanned on the 22nd, please contact any staff member and they will unban you.

    Your edits have been rolled back and your inventory has been cleared. Please make sure you read our rules and understand them.

    Lag / Server Performance

    • 50 person max on the server until lag is gone?

    We’re considering this as a last resort, and only after a full community consultation. Server performance has increased a lot recently thanks to work from totemo, so this doesn’t look needed at the moment.

     

    • Perhaps we could have a system that kicks players who have AFK for more than 10 minutes when the tick rate drops really low.

    The mods are already able to kick AFK players when the tickrate gets low, but it seems this won’t be needed much anymore.

     

    •  /voterestart

    We are managing the restart timer manually as it removes any possibility of abuse. This also means that restarts are more predictable so no mobs get culled by a restart.

     

    • have 15/20 min restarts at american peak time, but normal 30/60 min restarts the rest of the time if that's possible

     Server performance has improved tremendously and we are even on hour restarts!

     

    • limit revision size to spawn chunks + however many the server can handle loading with good performance. as daily player averages decrease, expand map to allow more chunk availability, providing performance remains stable. re-evaluate weekly

    At rev launch the server size would be spawn and no more. People like being able to set up a permanent home at the start of rev, even if it is laggy.

     

    • ban the use of alt-accounts as chunk loaders

    We have asked players to avoid using alts for the first month of the rev and reserve the right to kick alts (bots and not) if server performance tanks  

     

    • so uh, is there anything we can do about chunk loading?

    Yes! Chunk loading and server performance has improved tremendously, thanks to on going updates from Paper Spigot and hours of work by totemo.

     

    Custom Items / Drops / Mobs

    •  Could the shards for conduits drop from something else than sand? Every sand biome is getting destroyed.

    Heart-fragments now have a chance to drop from seagrass and kelp!

     

    • sharpness trident

    We’ll look into this as a trade at spawn at some point!

     

    • Can I get a dragon saddle for killing the dragon 100 times?

    The dragon saddle is very buggy and prone to abuse. We do have some plans for avid dragonslayers though!

     

    • For the love of god, please nerf the baby zombies in the nether. They are way too fast and hard to hit. They're not hard, just annoying

    This is exactly what they were meant to be.

     

    • pls nerf nether mobs

    We run custom nether mobs as most players are skilled enough to not see the vanilla nether as a threat. If the difficulty is insane we’ll look into it, but while harder than previous revs we feel the challenge isn’t insurmountable.

     

    • Okay, so I thought about it and I still think dragons in the overworld is a good idea, but I have a better one now; dragons.... in the nether! Eh? Sounds awesome right?

    No. Gods no.

     

    • let us reuse mob heads to summon an extra one of the mob (that can then also still drop a head) via doppelganger

    If you have the head , why make a dopple with it to just drop another head- You still only have 1 head. 
     

    Spawn / Map

     

    • Somehow add more PO boxes…

    We’ve added 21 more PO Boxes!

     

    • there should be a dropper at the spawn rail station with minecarts like there was a couple revs ago

    We have added 2 droppers in the station at spawn

     

    • Increase the height of the NW portal.

    We’ve asked the owner to work with us to enlarge it.

     

    • Custom cave pls I love you ty

    We’ve added this to the suggestions for next rev. We won’t be changing this rev’s worlds now.

     

    Vanilla Mechanics 

    • make it possible to make normal iron farm

    Iron golem spawners serve this purpose with minimal lag, along with being easier to build.

     

    •  can we have normal iron farms next rev?

    Iron spawners were added as a way to allow players the benefits of iron farms. Vanilla iron farms caused lag. 
     

    • can we play vanilla next rev?

    A completely vanilla server would struggle even more than our server does now with plugins helping the load. Most of our plugins are for reducing server load.

     

    • people can make their own nether portals

    A limited number of portals reduces the risk of portals littering the nether. We try to make sure that access to the portals is free and the portal hunt at rev start is an old nerd.nu tradition.

     

    General Gameplay

    • What if treasure chests & sunken ships refresh their loot once a week

    We like the idea of refreshing loot as we stated with the last batch of suggestion responses. We are still working out the best way to do this.

     

    • hard mode

    The server is already set to hard mode.

     

    • SOMEONE TURN DOWN BLAZE AGGRO RANGE PLEASE

    This is, as far as we know, the vanilla range for blazes.

     

    • Can we up the drop rate a wee bit for dark oak saplings?

    Dark oak and Jungle saplings have always been harder to come by. 

     

    • custom nether portals

    Minecraft’s April Fools event was incredibly cool and the possibilities could be endless! But for now we will not be implementing custom nether portals.


     

    Player Commands

     

    • Allow players to modreq easy-signs for challanges/puzzles they make.

    We feel this would be easily abused for little benefit to the players. If you think there's a really good use that we haven't thought of, please contact a Padmin.

     

    • 1 man sleep plsss

    This was covered last set.

     

    • a server-side plugin to toggle genchat; where the player could still see /msg, broadcast, horse updates, etc; allow players to list who is listening to genchat

    We’ve passed this on to the techs.

     

    • bring back the /lsd command!

    • bring back /lsd

    We’ve passed this on to the techs.

     

    • we should get /sethome

    The new bed mechanics allow this without it being night.

     

    • The /modreq command should display a message telling the user about /check. Or does it already do that and I've forgotten? Wall_E__

    We can add an alert for this.

     

    •  /modmode alias /mm to make them flow reqs even faster

    /modmode isn’t a lot of letters to type. If staff aren't doing flowreqs in a timely manner give them a nudge in genchat.

     

    • re: re: /ignore persisting beyond 30-minute restarts. I have already talked to staff about the user, and the user was warned for harassment- i still don't want to see their roleplay spam in public chat. let it persist indefinitely, please.

    Restarts have increased to an hour and hopefully that will help.

     

    Regions 

     

    • make grief possible in regions only if owner wants it

    • give us an option so that we can allow griefing in regions

    Regions already protect against grief, and areas not in protections can be fixed if you report using /modreq. If you want to grief in an area I suppose you can put up signs and tell staff about it and we’ll leave it be.


     

    TNT

     

    •  can me and my friends (X_Pyke_X and Itz_Domba980) gets some space where TNT can blow up blocks so we can make tree farm, or make that close to spawn so it can be public and for server performance we can only use that when is small amount of people online

    • re: tnt below sea level response: server would restrict the amount of tnt explosions per chunk and for x seconds etc., preventing lag from tnt editing blocks and creating entities. Saying that everyone would want to use a cool and useful feature of the game and therefore we shouldn't use it... is silly. TNT use below y60 and lag-limited by plugin, is a healthy balance between function and protection. Moderating use of tnt in pvp would be the exact same as moderating player traps with dispensers or other game features that P already allows. The player who built the trap would be held accountable by staff. Fin.

     

    We stand by our decision that enabling TNT is more of a headache than it is worth. TNT destroying rail lines and small underground structures accidentally is enough for us to think this is a bad idea, nevermind the method of restriction, which would require yet another plugin.

     

    Information that needs updating / fixing

     

    • line #16 at nerd.nu/rules " Click here for the list of approved client mods" has no hyperlink. if a list exists, might be good to link to it there.

    Fixed!

     

    •  the "skull planet" section of the PvE information guide is outdated, referring to a drop ship at spawn. should be updated.

    Skull planet is back! We'll update the guide soon.

     

    Bring Back S

     

    •  we should replace C with S

    • enforce a no grief policy on chaos, easy way to bring S back 😄

    • bring back S

    This box is for suggestions for PvE, we will pass this over to the head admins

     

    Misc

     

    • /op ppgome

    You can use the “apply for mod” page on the website.

     

    • uwu defie san

    updated response from defiex:

    BAN THEM BAN THEM ALL.jpg

     

    • let us be able to make clans

    We have chest regions if you are looking to add your whole group to a chest. Mod req for a chest region. Use /rg addmember to add members to the region,  then you can use /cmodify r:regionname to add access to the chest for everyone in the region. We also have clanchats, so that you can chat with just your region members. If there's something you are looking for that is not covered by these contact us and we'll see.

     

    • private farms aren't in the spirit of pve

    We agree, but it is up to the players to make farms public. If someone wants a farm to be private then they are entitled to that.
