So the 4th of July is Friday. Here in America we love to see the good old explosions of fireworks in the night sky. Here in Minecraft we hate when creepers are blowing shit up. Now let’s bring a little bit of love and hate together to celebrate the holiday with totemo’s Creepocalypse plugin. Some of you may remember this from New Years. We’ll be running the event from 9:15 PM eastern time on July 3rd to 9:15 PM July 5th. Hope to see you all there!

Hello everyone! So this is mostly directed towards the PvE Admins, but I want to make this public for others who are wondering what happened to the annual PvE Mumble Meetings that used to occur? The link that is displayed in game shows this google docs that is almost 7 months ago! Perhaps I have simply missed the announcement that we were stopping these type of reoccurring meetings but myself and others would appreciate some feedback! Thank you!

Hello everyone, We have been keeping an eye on this post in Server Discussion, and we were hoping that people would bring up specific topics they would like to be discussed in a general meeting. This did not happen, so we have decided to create a google form, similar to the one we had for the survival meeting, where people can submit things they would like to be discussed. You can find the form by clicking here. As of right now, we have not decided on a date for a meeting. If we do, we will make sure to give everyone plenty of notice.

It's quite clear that there is some tension regarding the way things are and I believe that the time has come for us to sit down in a mumble channel, and figure out where things are and most definitely where we want them to go. In a civilised manner, of course. So, I would like to formally request that the Head Admins and Server Admins begin to plan for another meeting (especially since it's been a year since the last one). I would also like to ask that the other players and moderators give their support and gather as much information as they can (comments, concerns, questions) to make the admin's jobs a little easier during this process. Any input can be provided below.

So the last days there's been these Swedish speaking guys in global. I wouldn't mind if it was just a little bit of it, but they've pretty much taken over the chat (seriously only Swedish for ages and I believe some new people on the server are quite confused where they've come) with their talk and they have do not seem to want to take it to private messages or clanchat. I guess there's no rule against it, but there's a lot of us who's quite annoyed by it, so I propose a rule that English would be the language to use in global and if you like to use your mothertongue on the server, you'd have to take it into clanchats.

If someone could give me the names of the head mayors of each of the portal towns that'd be great - gg, Ninja

Perhaps on the wiki so that regular users can have a reference list of all the commands that we're allowed to use.

It was suggested that we should advertise on /r/mcservers. I have been thinking about it, and I can't see a reason not to. It's a free and relatively easy way to advertise the servers. Would anyone have any issues with advertising there?

So, per comments I've heard around the servers, including here, we've spent some time discussing the idea. What we would like to do is start having Throwback Thursdays. Now, I know you may be thinking this is just some April Fools thing, but it is my off day, so I didn't have time to post it until now, this is no joke. So, the way it will work is similar to Magynus's suggestion in the linked thread. The proposed plan is for 24 hours every Thursday, the Event server will host old maps. These maps will be updated to the current version of minecraft, and will be running a post-rev style chaos. This means we will have some essentials such as world border, log block, etc. to prevent rule breakers (yes, chaos still has some rules). The best part about this: old players get the nostalgia of running around their old towns with friends, and new players get to explore how things were before their time. So, down to some details about it. The current plan is to run each map for 24 hours two Thursdays in a row. Each map will rotate from server to server (personally thinking the server order should go C -> S -> P, since that is the order they came about). We will run polls for the playerbase to choose which rev they would like to play on each time around. So, it would look something like this: 1st Thursday - C Rev 14 2nd Thursday - C Rev 14 3rd Thursday - S Rev 5 4th Thursday - S Rev 5 5th Thursday - P Rev 7 6th Thursday - P Rev 7 7th Thursday - C Rev 10 etc So, since I'm just getting this thread up, it may be a couple weeks before we get it all rolling out, but I'd like everyone to post feedback, thoughts, and suggestions regarding this.

I realize it is probably bad form to make a serious suggestion on April 1st, but here it is anyway. Would it be possible to have any modreq that has the word "grief" in the text be automatically pushed to the top of the modreq queue? This ensures that thwarting greifers is given our top level of attention even if we have multiple pages of modreqs (which is very common at the beginning of a rev).

Ok so while playing on the server today I thought that if when we hit a mob there hearts should be displayed over there heads for use to see. I have no clue if possible but, thought it would be helpful. Also, for those that say that not vanilla I like to just point out have glow in over not vilnilla and having dopplegangers is the same thing. So my thought was give the heartless, heart for a change.

Seen other people mention that they do have alternate accounts so that's not the question...it's something rather specific. If I missed it in the rule book, whoops, but: Like a lot of people, I have one. Though, I haven't had a reason to use it here yet. Question is...are there any limits on them? Specifically, are you allowed to be logged into two accounts at once here, or no? If the answer to the above is yes: If I was feeling lazy, the main thing I'm wondering is could I use it for mobile storage? I'd probably mainly end up using it for getting multiple perspectives on builds and such, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Pve has many great towns, from old to new. Post your town and a pic or two of it! (This post could hp get new members in new towns as well as showing off)

Link to the reddit post Hello! As we all know, the rev is ending on the 28th of February. So the town of Whiteoak has built a massive underground room for fighting! Also known as Nightoak! We should be having this event on the 27th of Febrary at 7PM PST (10PM EST), sometime in the afternoon/night PST. [between 4pm-12am PST] So far we have 50+ Doppels and 10 Withers. If you would like to donate diamonds or wither skulls, please contact either SwitchViewz or Rokku117. If you want to bring your own doppel and/or wither, please do so under your own power. Also be ready to place them the same time that everyone else is. Whiteoak is not responsible if you die with any items on you. http://i.imgur.com/ktdCyr4.jpg If you're looking to see what we have done, head on over to the Whiteoak portal and look for the shape above and just follow the wooden path to a water drop. [the portal room is the one that has netherakk in it, as seen in the picture] Also! We will be providing free iron armor and swords. If anyone has any spare iron, it would be very much appreciated.

I kinda like this idea, im more of a casual player my self. its more of a "creative with difficulty" And would be cool if because of the state that creative is in right now maybe "replace" it with this. gives players a new way to build things without flying and instant access to all the blocks and features. Tell me what you think.

PREFACE: A little about me, i was banned from the server for making swastikas and crouching in front of them yelling "HEIL HITLER". I thought it was funny, but it seems not so many other people did. So i got banned. I realise it was offensive. I will make it up to you for creating this cool little system i calculated and created for the server(s) ECONOMICS: To create a economically strong, efficient, and viable community of players we must create a conversion rate depending on rarity of the ores and the occerence of them per chunk what i did was got the percentage of ores per chunk over a 100 chunk radius. did magical math stuff and this is what i came up with 2.23 stone = 1 coal 16.02 coal = 1 iron 10.27 Iron=1 Gold 25.04 Iron=1 Diamond 2.43 Gold=1 Diamond 4.02 iron = 1 redstone 15.4 iron = 1 lapis 1.4 gold = 1 lapis you can use this if you like. I spent a good 2-3 hours doing all the math, research, and testing. I use this system on my server and hope you guys will like to use it on your server. because its a really good and solid system. ALSO, this is base values. not including the fact that iron farms, fortune picks and other things exist. this is just base. you can modify if you so wish.

Mantinain empire is now joining forces with rosecity! These two great cities are joining forces to make community facilitys, travel systems, and becoming one of PVEs well known towns!

I had an old AMA from when the forums started but since it's been close to a year since there has been a reply I figured I'd give it another go. First off I'll answer a few of the questions I ask frequently to others in their AMA's My favorite hot sauce is Sirracha My favorite alcoholic beverage is Anchor Steam beer, brewed a few blocks away from my house. My favorite soda was Surge until they discontinued it in the USA but Monster is an acceptable substitute. I have a cat named Kitty (my brother named her) that also responds to the name Cat.` Best friends on the server, in no particular order: Dumbo52 Difficult1 Letsbefehr buzzin Tacodude, who looks enough like me that it's creepy. Eehee buzzie marting Kennya Kevo Char Magnyus Shanty Verros Rockonn Mastercomathe and many many others. The very very few people I dislike know who they are and are welcome to identify themselves by down voting me.

TODAY! Mantinian Empire will be opening its mob arena for the first mob fight! Fireworks, withers, dinnerbonned charged creepers and naked men running around punching zombies! Everyone is invited to watch, hang out, eat cake, and have a good time! We hope to see you all there to see a mob arena powered without dark rooms or admin help. Cya in the arena! (did I mention Beercano?)

Hey, I'm Pyr0, an old player from Rev 4/5. I came back looking for a user by the name of "TH" who played at the same time, though I haven't been able to find him so far (partly because I don't think 2-letter names are allowed in the game anymore). So, here I am. I frequently run into game derps, do some redstone work, ect, so welcome to the topic! For today's session, have a baby zombie. These two are trapped in an epic battle with a chest and a fencepost. But really, this is...um........hi? itsstaringatmemakeitstop Next up, a happy scene of me standing on the Oasis bridge! The uh...side of the bridge to be exact. Nothing to see here. Last but not least, a cart. This happens a lot. Stay tuned for the next edition!

As we approach Friday, the techs have informed me that love levels on PvE have been steadily rising. This is unacceptable. The padmins have discussed the news for a long while, and have determined that the only solution is violence. An admin hunt seems to be the best way to pull our community away from this grossly affectionate trend. The hunt begins Friday the 14th at 9 PM eastern. We'll be nerfing ourselves a bit, to avoid the long hunts we've had in the past. For those who are hesitant to abandon their pagan holiday, we’ll be giving our murderers prizes as a bit of encouragement. But we’re not entirely convinced that prizes will be enough to rally everyone to our cause. So we offer you secrets. For the death of every padmin, one piece of information will be released. Information about something very dear to you all. And if you want to know what this secret is, you better be armed to the teeth. We’ll see you then. But seriously if you have plans for Valentine's Day don't dare skip them for this. You'll be caught up later.

Hello citizens of p.nerd.nu! Have you heard of the recent internet currencies known as Bitcoin and Dogecoin? Well Sapphric and I would like to bring a new type of currency to PVE! $pudcoin [spuhd-koin]! What is $pudcoin? $pudcoin takes the rarity and uniqueness of a poisonous potato to new heights by making it a note of currency! How do I get $pudcoins? 1. By trading with other players, silly! 2. Renaming a poisonous potato to "$pudcoin" (how you get a poisonous potato is up to you) How much is a $pudcoin? That is to be determined by the economy of the server! A $pudcoin may be worth a 64 Diamonds or 2 Dirt, it's up to the traders in the market. WondrLand, this is so dumb. Why in Lever's name would you and Sapphric introduce such a silly concept? Ah! That's okay, stranger! You don't have to participate if you don't want to! $pudcoin is simply for those willing to try out this new form of economics on the server. You may continue to trade as you always have, but understand... people may find $pudcoins to be extra valuable.

Hey everyone! So it’s time to prep for a new rev. And to start off, no we do not have a set date yet for when it will start. I want to be prepared for when we do have a date, and have plenty of time to give spawn its final touches. I’d also like other staff members to be able to contribute to spawn if they’d like, which is the point of this thread. The plan is to have people claim rooms to decorate. I’d like them to make sense in the context of the building (by that I mean not using decorations you’d find in a log cabin since that would be out of place), but other than that what you make is up to you. The outside of spawn is a replica of the Nikolsky Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia. The inside is my own design, since I wasn’t too fond of the interior of the real building. I got approval from the suite architecture student, so don’t fear. The changes are structurally sound. There are 40 rooms total on the first and second floors. If you want more space for a room, talk to me and I can probably knock a wall down. This and this are typical rooms. There are also 4 outer towers that I don't currently have a way up to yet. The first and second floors are just about identical. Once above the second floor, there’s a lot more freedom. If you want hidden rooms requiring redstone, this is a good option for you. That being said, please don’t make redstone devices that are too complicated. We’ve had FPS crippling spawns before and I want to avoid that. Also, if you build by a window but choose not to include it, leave some space for a false room. I want it to look normal lighting wise and from those pearling around. I've made a diagram of the first and second floors, since they're the most clearly defined work spaces. Please list the number of the room you want to claim. See update below. If you're working on the third floor or another space not listed, just say your name and the general area you're working in. If you have multiple people working on a room, listing one name is fine. I just want it to see what rooms are claimed and who to contact if there are any questions about a space. Also, please leave a sign ingame in your space so people won't accidentally build in a claimed space if they're not updated on this thread. I’ll start updating my post as more people add their names to make it clear what’s available and what isn’t. Since we have 12 revs behind us and this spawn is easily broken into 4 sections, I had the idea of having tributes to the past revs. I think the second floor would be the best space for it. Each quadrant could have 3 rev rooms. I'm thinking either have the inner 3 rooms (for example S2, S3, and S4 for the NW) as the rev rooms, with the outside rooms (S1 and S5) as unrelated rooms. Another option is to have the entire floor for a rev museum, in which case I could knock down the walls separating the hallway rooms (connecting S1 with S2 and S4 with S5) to have 12 rooms total on the floor. That means 4 revs get less space, but it might be better than having 8 unrelated rooms on the museum floor. I'd love to hear feedback on this, and have help making the rooms. I was picturing stained glass windows in the center of the room (almost like a display case, so it would have a base but would be flat) depicting that rev's spawn, but I know there's a lot more we could do. For example, for rev 8 we could have large trees growing out of the corners of the room. Besides the museum, other room ideas are libraries, music rooms, some kind of conference room, and indoor gardens. Farms are also needed, and would probably be best if on the first floor. Since there's such a huge amount of rooms, having the rooms closest to the entrances on the first floor all be farms should be good. Lets stick to just melon again, so we don't have to worry about people replanting. Dibs on lever shrine. To connect, type /server test. It won't announce that you've switched to the server in chat, so don't worry about letting the secret slip that way. Slide says he's eventually going to change it to /server pve-dev, so if test doesn't work try that. The server is whitelisted, so enter your name in here to be added to it. At the moment I think techs and padmins are the only ones who can add to the whitelist. Once on, contact one of use so we can put you in creative mode. Slide's working on getting mods creative and World Edit perms, but until the permissions are set up we'll just be using /mode. Everything in this thread is to stay here. That includes information and pictures. Don’t even mention to others that the new spawn is being worked on, because it’s just going to start a flurry of rumors that the rev is ending. Rev 12 still has some life in it. Rooms Taken: Only F14 left on first floor F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F9 (Trooprm32) F8 (razgrizMC) F12 (Diamond_Lover123) F13 (TheAcademician) F16 (buzzie71) F11 F15 (tompreuss) F1 F7 F10 F17 F18 F19 F20 (kitcatbar) Rev Rooms Taken: All rooms taken 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Trooprm32 8 kitcatbar (I'm not sure who made 8, but if you're around and want to work on me just let me know. I have plans but can give it up) 9 CROCKODUCK 10 Denevien 11 buzzie71 12 tompreuss Updates: On second thought, claim rooms in game. This is just so people don't claim rooms then forget about them. Claim once you've actually started work.

(The other thread's first post said that it should be closed, which is why I didn't post it there.) People have brought up a lot of good points about why Safebuckets should be gotten rid of or kept. People tend to use buckets to grief, which results in a lot of work for the admins. However, being required to make /modreqs to flow water is annoying, and takees up the admins' time. What if trusted users didn't suffer from SafeBuckets? What if users who had played on the server for [X] hours (or done something notable) didn't get affected by SafeBuckets? I have no idea how it would be done (or if it's even possible) but I think it would save the admins a lot of time. Most griefers probably aren't dedicated enough to play for a long time, and this could be combined with the waterproofing plugin somebody suggested earlier. I think that this would probably cut staff workload quite a bit. If this has been suggested before, my apologies. I have not heard this solution, and I think it might solve the problem nicely. Thank you for your time. Clarification: the "trusted user" status would be invisible, and confer no other benefits.
