Charas's Minecraft Server - - Whitelist Security Failure

[DragonBlaze]

I've added a buddy of mine, lucifer66689. He's a good guy, so you don't need to worry about him trolling or stealing.

[Archem]

It should be a general rule to only have trust-worthy friends added to the whitelist, so making that claim seems almost redundant.

I've added three friends, but I think only one has taken the time to join in.

Sure get technical on me -_-

I mainly just wanted to announce the name so you guys know who he is lol

[DragonBlaze]

So there's now a jungle outside of spawn, and a giant tree is springing up. Got some neat plans to make those woods bad ***.

Someone should play with me, it gets pretty lonely on the server

[Archem]

I'll see if I can find time, but the allure of GTA is very strong...

Sorry man, I've been heavily distracted by learning Ruby and new recording equipment I just bought. Also, did you notice that crazy tunnel near your house?

[DragonBlaze]

You mean the crazy tunnel that stopped just before my place? No there's nothing like that by my place, but there is a COMPLETED tunnel with a complimentary train station at my place It just needs to have power hooked up to it, which I fear will actually take a long time lol.

[drenrin2120]

Yes I did in fact mean the uncompleted tunnel. There's no power to the rails going away from your house, though they apparently connect to the other continent, jungle side.

Also, gonna leave this suggestion for everyone to ponder now: considering that forge mods are so much easier to install in 1.6, how would people feel about installing client side mods to make for some more interesting server side gameplay? Of course, we'd want to keep mods to a minimum as not to complicate logging on to the server, but it'd still be incredibly easy to do. Any mods people like could be put up for consideration. Mull it over a bit.

[DragonBlaze]

Any mods in mind? I'd be down if the mods were super easy to install and actually made a big impact. Since the server isn't very active, I'm kinda against anything that will make it harder for new people (and current people) to play unless it's REALLY worth it.

[drenrin2120]

Well, installing forge is as simple as installing one program and clicking it. After that, all forge mods are simply (generally 'simply') placed in the mods folder. Some mods I had in mind were Buildcraft, MoreWolves(for the lulz), Ruins, Twilight Forest, Better Dungeons, etc. Things like that. The thing with mods like Ruins or Better Dungeons is they generate things in new chunks which would seem problematic with the server, however, they would offer incentive to use the portal near spawn to go to the distant lands and explore new chunks. Those were my ideas. I'm down for anything else, I mean, there are so many good mods out there it's hard to say no to a lot of them.

[DragonBlaze]

Three things:

1.) The hyperloop is complete! AKA the tunnel is connected, powered, and we can travel between our places with ease! Test it out, it's awesome.

2.) The giant tree in the (new) jungle by spawn is now an epic dungeon. The first part is a maze, the second part is a jumping challenge, and the third part will be a battle royal (as soon as I figure out how to make spawners). In the mean time check it out, it's pretty sweet.

3.) For mods, if we decide to use them, lets make sure we stick to essential ones.. My biggest concern is that it'll make it super hard for new players to start or it'll make it hard to current players to continue. If everyone else wants to use these mods, then lets do it, but I would rather not have any client side mods unless they are REALLY worth it...

[drenrin2120]

That's my view exactly on mods. So, the more wolves wouldn't be one I'd seriously suggest.

As for spawners, you have OP powers so look up commands here > http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/customspawners/

That's a server side bukkit mod installed that you can take advantage of.

[DragonBlaze]

Did something happen to the server? Minecraft freezes every time I try to join, but I can join other games just fine. I may have been doing something crazy before I logged last time, so maybe my position is glitched?

EDIT:

Well after re-installing minecraft and java, it still didn't work, so I took a break and did some work. Now everything is magically working again.

[drenrin2120]

The server has been acting funky lately. Atleast on my end, I'm fairly convinced it's just my internet connection. Other people have said they aren't having a problem.

So, proposal here now. I haven't really seen too many people online lately. Me and my room mate have concocted a plan that we're both pretty excited about, but wanted to get some feedback from you guys before we did this. Essentially, we were considering installing Pixelmon mod and Noppe's NPC mod. The plan being to have a world which meshes pokemon and minecraft together. The server would be open to the public and with some bukkit mods we would work out how players would gather resources. Most likely a portal which would take you far away. Regardless, the main server world would be protected and unmineable with cities located around the map. There would be special dungeons players could fight to gain special resources. There are a lot of details to work out but this is the basic premise. What do people think of it? By the way, connecting the cities with paths has proven to be a lot easier to do then first thought. Here is an overview map of the world at night, where you can view paths by the torches lighting the way.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

I'll post pictures of the paths later tonight.

I'm kind of against it for the simple reason that I'd prefer to stay truer to the original game's mechanics. And yes, I'm going to return one day.
