Is Minecraft still a thing?

Post by **Atlanta-Ned** » Sun Apr 15, 2018 7:18 pm #400374

If it is, I have a very nice, mostly vanilla* 1.12.2 server set up at `m.neffy.me`. Right now it's PvE, but I want to create a dedicated PvP arena at some point.

Aside from that, this should be pretty laid back. Don't be a dick.

Server website & map at m.neffy.me

* I'm open to plugin suggestions if anyone has one.

4 or 5 years ago we had a PvP ultrahardcore tournament.

1000x1000 arena, no healing except potions and golden apples, last ones alive win.

It was bretty fun maybe we could stream it

Here's a skin I made 7 years ago. It's based on a character from an Unforgotten Realms cartoon. It's yours.

If you CAN'T use FTB, you can always use https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/slimefun . It's been abandoned recently and so still works, though it's quite grindy.

how are you looking at the map the map doesn't work for me

Durkel · Post by **Durkel** » Tue Apr 17, 2018 5:16 am #400738

It's a 24 hour map I think, so with the recent server reset it will be generated in like another 18 hours or so?

Anyway, server is alright, the map a bit too small for my liking though. Going in the middle of nowhere to build and the subsequent railway needed was always fun to me.

TheWiznard · Post by **TheWiznard** » Tue Apr 17, 2018 6:58 am #400744

rip my house I liked the area I was in building next to the world border. haven't checked the new map it's night time and no bed at spawn.

also for the map I mean it just shows a blank white page that never loads

edit: okay woah durkell you're right it's way smaller than anything I've ever played on but maybe thats a good thing. was the server too loaded with it being 2kx2k?

Some (usually tech mods) are indeed painfully annoying but a lot of the others actually add a cool stuff that isn't a pain to get

Examples:

Starminer - 1.7.10 only but lets you mess with gravity.
Openblocks - a bunch of one-off cool items (cheap as well) like a backpack crane (moves blocks) and luggage (storage that follows you and picks stuff up, also can be picked up), not sure if it's on 1.12 though.
Extra/dark utilities - somewhat random items, but with more of a purpose and less cheap than openblocks.
Thermal expansion mods - all together, your standard tech mod. Pipes, machines, power, etc. Kind of annoying like I mentioned, but this one's worth talking about anyway.
Torcherino - a torch that speeds up time near it. Fairly simple to craft (4 clocks around a torch) but it does need gold.

On the other hand, server resets with progression-y mods are really annoying.

I made an executive decision to reset the map since the previous iteration was:
- Already fuckhuge
- Basically nothing but desert

Unfortunately, the new map is mostly ocean, but I don’t plan to reset it again.

Right now the map is limited to ~800 blocks from spawn. I’ll ramp that up as time goes along though.

i don't know none of this really sounds like stuff i'd want in minecraft to be honest, and the tech stuff always makes me think "why don't i just play factorio"

FantasticFwoosh · Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:21 pm

My build is virtually the only one there in the middle of the ocean, though yet i can see my tree-farm should be ready to be expanded and used by the time i get back.

Playing on snapshots is more visually appealing i will say.

Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:49 pm

World border boosted to 1024 blocks! Will probably increase it again in the near future.

minecraft pvp always boils down to "make a hidden base underground and never fight anyone online until you get raided offline by someone who gets lucky/has xray" on small servers like this

Guess I'll play some Minecraft again soon.

Have to admit I prefer vanilla half the time to 10000000000 mods that make just wanting to build more of a chore.

Could we just not have the world borders and keep a rule with not traveling out far unless it's for special shit like woodland mansions/strongholds/ect? Pretty much all the viable loot structures are far off out of the border and inching the border more outward bit by bit doesn't help much.

I always purposely walk really far away so that people get annoyed any time I ask them to come over

Worldborder doubled to 2048 blocks. Fly my pretties.

the stronghold is still outside the border

existence is pain

same. only thing I don't like is creeper explosions blowing up my noteblock contraptions but thats why I lit up my island instead

Rustledjimm · Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:07 am

I wouldn't mind creeper explosion world damage turned off cause they're really annoying.

Qbopper · Post by **Qbopper** » Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:49 pm #402416

that's a less controversial change imo

I keep it on because there is a startling number of times I've been mining and a creeper explosion reveals diamond or whatever

factoryman942 · Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:52 pm

there's a dungeon almost directly below my house-construction at like x=650 z=95
skelly spawner there, we can maybe use it to build a farm or something?

So there is a full-level beacon in the center of the town now. I don't want to talk about how much iron I used on the base (164 blocks to be exact).

now expand the world border so i can get to the stronghold dammit

The stronghold portal is located at -1553 273, it needs 8 more pearls before its active.

Tue May 08, 2018 12:49 am

Boosted the worldborder another 2048 blocks to 4096. Go forth and explore*.

* I'd personally prefer to see more activity focused around the city/spawn, but I also like letting things evolve naturally.

Additional note: I drilled a hole all the way to bedrock with dynamite, just south of the spawnpoint. Maybe someone will feel inclined to build something with it.
