barneygale Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) This might be quite niche, but is anyone interested in creating and playing an unofficial "old school" survival rev? I was thinking Beta 1.7 might be a sweet spot. It's as bug-free as the game got before major modern minecraft features got added, like sprinting, hunger and enchanting. I can try and find old craftbukkit and plugin versions, and it shouldn't take long to do the map (flat cardinal roads take <5minutes). The game was a lot derpier but it might be fun anyway. We could even (if people like this idea) run it as an official interim rev before the next one is properly ready with suitable marketing arranged. Current revs player numbers are pretty horrible, even when factoring in the DDoS. Edited September 8, 2014 by barneygale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperi Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I would definitely be interested in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EeHee2000 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'd be down for that, sounds like a hella bunch of fun. \o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMan Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Why not write a plugin to disable features that were created after beta 1.8? -gsand ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizney07 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I agree with all of the above, this could be a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneygale Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Sweet, sounds like we're good to go then!! I'll be on mumble on Sunday at 7pm BST (GMT+1) to discuss my plan as it stands. Please come along if you're interested and want to contribute. Then I think a few people could build the map (generate roads, build spawn and arena). We'll have worldedit available, but for authenticity sake please don't pre-build anything for pasting. If you have hosting spare, let me know. If no one comes forward I'll buy a ramnode VPS. We'll also need a small mod team I suppose. Any suggestions on how to choose them?

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 This sounds fun. I'll be around to discuss this on Sunday. I have some ideas for this as well, would there be an easy way for me to get into contact with you? I'm quite excited for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayside308 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is this still an idea, as I really want to play on some nice Beta servers. Beta was when Minecraft was simple, but with so many features now, it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneygale Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've been busy with other stuff. Should have some some time in a week or two; if someone wants to take over feel free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayside308 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I've been busy with other stuff. Should have some some time in a week or two; if someone wants to take over feel free. I have actually started a beta 1.7.3 server. I will give out the IP as soon as I can get confirmation from nerd.nu staff that it is ok to post here! Thanks, -Bayside308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmarok and Incapacity Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 1.7.3 is the definitive version of Minecraft imo. I'd love to play it with other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
