My activity over the last week and the next 2 weeks will be spotty at best. We are short handed at work due to our main cook being out for surgery and I am being scheduled for a ludicrous amount of hours to compensate for our short handedness. It also doesn't help that someone just quit. I will also unfortunately be missing Rev launch (for the first time ) as I will be at work. I will definitely be on when I get home though!

Contest is over and even got a few extra days. The winners will be announced in the upcoming PvE Blog Post. Thank you everyone for participating, I am hoping this next nether will be the best one yet!

Howdy folks, I am happy to announce a short building contest for PvE’s next Revision! I am in need of cool nether builds to include in the custom nether map generation. The contest will run for 2 weeks starting today, September 8th, and ending September 22nd at midnight (2 weeks). To join the contest and start building, head over to Creative and go to /warp NetherContest. We are using NerdPlot for plot management. To claim a plot, find an unused plot and type /nerdplot claim and it will be protected to you. If you want to add more people to your plot, just do /rg i to get the region name and then do /rg addmember nether_contest_### <username> to have them added. Plots are 50x50, however do not feel the need to use all of that space as we just wanted to give extra room in case you needed it. We are looking for small builds and big builds, details below: Small Builds (1x1 - 20x20) The smaller the build the better. Smaller builds will have a much higher chance of appearing in the world. Some examples of a small build: Small house with loot chests, small dungeon with a mob spawner, glowstone trees Small note: We are looking for glowstone and mushroom tree variety! If you build a custom glowstone/mushroom tree your build will most likely be included. Big Builds (20x20 - 50x50) We are also looking for some cool big builds as well, whether that be mob spawner temples or large custom nether fortresses or even something else. Note that big builds will have a lower chance of spawning in the map because they are bigger. Some examples of a big build: Custom nether fortress, large dungeon with multiple mob spawners, large house with loot chests Winners There will be a Top 5 builds that we be decided by the padmins. We will judge the build on quality and how well it will blend in with the custom nether. Those top 5 will be guaranteed to be generated into the map. We will also pick out a variety of other builds we like to include in generation, but only the top 5 will be announced. This is a short contest and is only running for 2 weeks so don’t put off building! I look forward to seeing what everyone can come up with! Subreddit Post

I have sent off a new configuration to the tech admins which will fix the death messages. Fixes include: Removed CTF Death Messages (most of them, I kept a few that I liked that weren't related to space) Fixed spelling mistakes Fixed coloring mistakes You can view all current death messages here now. I will update this post when the config has been applied by the tech admins.

​Note/Update: I am not entirely sure how I managed to do this, but somehow I used the CTF Death Messages Config and added all the new ones to it. Thus, we are currently getting all the CTF death messages as well as the new death messages. I believe that I will be off work on Sunday (that may change though) and I will be fixing the Death Messages back to the original config with the new ones included. I used almost all of the ones you suggested! I used about 90% of all the ones suggested by everyone.

We had a mumble meeting a few nights ago and this was one of our talking points. We have decided that we would like to utilize the ability of timed bans and have let the head admins know. They will be looking into the details and will be updating us in the near future.

Hey folks, the purpose of this thread is to provide a list of changes/events/other things that the PAdmins are doing to PvE to keep you guys in the loop of what is going on. This idea was originally created by previous PAdmins here but we have decided to retire that thread as suggestions can go in it's own subforum now. I will be sorting all changes into revision categories to give time frames of when they happened. If you have any feedback please post in the subforum. PvE Revision 18 Changelog: May 26th 2016: Revision 18 Information Post made: Link June 6th 2016: The June PvE Admin Hunt has been announced! More details here: Link June 21st 2016: The PvE June Blog Post has been posted: Link August 22nd 2016: The August PvE Admin Hunt has been announced! More details here: Link August 24th 2016: New PvE Messages have gone live as of 5:32AM PST. You can view the full list of death messages here: Link

We are closing this thread as the original purpose of the thread (suggestions) is now fulfilled by it's own subforum. We encourage people to keep posting ideas in the subforum! We have created a new PvE Changelog Thread that will consist only of changes. Please post all feedback and suggestions in the main sub forum and not in that thread, it is intended for changes only.

Final update: I have sent the new config off to the tech admins and it is waiting to be uploaded. I will be closing this thread and will post in the PvE Changelog when the tech admins have uploaded the new death messages and they are live.

To keep everyone updated: Per the inactivity thread I have been inactive the last several days but will now be around again. I will be completing the new death messages tomorrow and then have a tech upload them.

Just a quick update: I've gone through and reviewed the death messages and we will be adding most (if not all) of them to spice things up! I am currently waiting to hear back from a tech admin to get the current config and have it updated. The new config should be live either today or in the next few days, depending when I hear back from them.

I have been busy the last few weeks with work and my trip to Yosemite so I haven't had a chance to do anything with these. I'll be getting a hold of the live config on PvE later today and adding in (most likely) the majority of ideas posted in that thread. I'll post in the PvE Changelog either later today or tomorrow once I've completed them and they are live.

I am now back from my trip to Yosemite and my recent inactivity should start to dwindle down. Been out of game to much and will be getting back in! I will however be fairly inactive this upcoming Thurs-Sunday due to work.

Hey there Teddy, the note I gave you is over 2 years old and I see no reason to keep it around. I have gone ahead and removed it. As for your other notes a head admin should be along to handle those soon. Have fun on the servers! :)

I will poke the other padmins about this. You could also always go and find the Shulker Spawner :)
