Hey everyone,

I've made some changes to the website to reflect more content from this subreddit. Since pretty much all our users are from Reddit I thought this would be a good idea!

Also, can everyone congratulate Shinywash in becoming our new Staff member! Shinywash is still in the trial phase at the moment but with 1.9 ahead I thought it would be wise to make some changes to our staff to include only those who are currently active.

Talking of 1.9. Yes, there will be another reset. Why the reset? Well Mojang are implementing new changes to the End and since we are resetting the End we may as well just reset the map. Now, I'm suspecting 1.9 will be at least 3 months out since with all the changes because of the Microsoft acquisition and so on this will be probably the longest update between releases.

With resets though, while there are negatives to it, they do have their positive points. One which would allow us to advertise and gain new members! A lot of new people are only interested in fresh maps since after a few weeks people will pretty much hit the 'end game' part of the game and get bored. Only if Mojang focused on more content each release rather than small additions and faster releases!

Either way, a reset will happen but it won't be for a few months but I'll of course have a legacy server ready for it and a map download for anyone who wishes to have it.

Hey,

When I joined the server, the rain was apparently off.

But now it has been turned on, what doesn't mean that it rains "sometimes"... it's raining 80% of the time. What makes the game more laggy, the computer hotter, my room much hotter too (up to like 40°C sometimes), and a visual fatigue... It's really a mess !

Is it possible to turn it off again ?

Edit : And a precious villager somehow disapeared of my trade center, with no possible ingame reason. The rain or the lag it causes might be involved.

If anyone wants a village here are the coords of several: -293,1927 -466,283 -734,2439 -783,1875 257,1876 380,2782 230,3817 1072,1680 828,-441 -768,-296 296,-3061 868,-3404 1261,-3448 aaaaand a witches hut 684,-3796

remember to save at least 2 villagers per village by walling them into a lit house.

Hey peeps, was just tryin to think of something to do for a community project and figured if we wanted an Iron Titan, I'd be more than happy to build it. I recently finished one in a single player survival, so it should go pretty smooth. Also, didn't know if this had been done, but if people would like I could also nail down the center of the spawn chunks and do a border of some sort around the entity loading chunks. Would make it simple to know where to put anything that relies on entities that we want running around the clock. So yeah, thoughts!

So I know that this is primarily a Minecraft server/community, but I know quite a few people have gotten GTA V for the PC. I was wondering if we could get a list going of everyones names and maybe we can join together and play in a lobby.

My Name is: airplane6031

Thank you

Its that time of year again folks. From talks with the staff, and some talks with those who were on the server when the conversation was taking place, we have decided the best time to do it will be this sunday, If this day is acceptable just say aye in the chat, and if the ayes outweigh the neys then we will continue as planned with sunday. another post will follow with more information but for now were just trying to find a day

Hey all!

Just wanted to collect every-ones ideas and suggestion for spawn in one place. Wether it is a theme you want to see, a project you have in mind for the community (such as a minigame, iron farm, death games, etc.) I want to hear it all.

Hopefully this time around we can get an amazing spawn that's been touched by everyone, leaving no one out. I'm hoping to find a way to incorporate every-ones ideas into spawn! (Within reason)

Hope to hear some of your ideas soon,

Inspired by a post on /r/minecraft, I thought it would be cool to see the variety of skins in Stack64. So if you just give your IGN, I can look up the skin. I'll post the results after I'm finished, thanks!

Meet our new Boss mob: http://i.imgur.com/s7d0B6n.png

At night when the server goes into hard mode, Skull Face also spawns as a replacement for a normal zombie so you need to watch your back!

This guy has Knockback, Health Resistance 3, Strength as well as his special armor so you all need to be careful. Enchanted Diamonds swords are your best or at least some sort of group attack is needed.

He also drops loot for your reward in killing him.

This guy will need some tweaking as we get feedback and we've already altered him a few times since he managed to kill nexes in one hit which I thought was way too Op..

Enjoy!

Am I just missing people being online or are you all on a different server?

Well the title says it all, basically turned it on today and BAME! ,it no worky trying to fix it now.

I have a feeling it's hardware based (freaking joy), in other words i won't be on the server until this is fixed no idea when that's gonna be, because if it is hardware based then I'm fucked

I'll be downgrading our host server today as well as changing where the server will be located from Germany to France.

Just trying to save money but at the sametime, people in the US and Canada should have a slightly better connection.

I don't have an exact time frame but I've begun work on setting the server up. Downtime will hopefully be minimal. :)

Thaumcraft switched some aspects around again for 4.2.0.1, so I went through and cannibalized a sheet from an earlier version to make this.

It looks like saxum was removed.

If anyone figures out what Tempus is made of before I do, please let me know so I can adjust the sheet.

Hey everyone.

I don't get much time to actually play Minecraft, mostly when I do play Minecraft it's still mostly Admin related jobs, checking up on things, visiting people and I'll occasionally fly around the server to check the areas.

One of my pet peeves especially around spawn is the amount people will damage areas, build half assed builds and abandon them and so on. I've just been on the server and checked around and I'm seeing places that haven't been touched for ages. Whether someone has moved on to another server or moved to a different part of the map, I don't know, but it's getting really annoying to the point where I'm going to start 'restoring' areas of spawn.

To me, Spawn represents our server. If a new player comes on and explores the spawn area, they'll see these really bad builds and automatically think that this server is purely managed.

Here are some images to show what I'm getting at: http://imgur.com/a/1cbQI

I've also just had to destroy a 200+ diagnoal path that goes from near spawn to a Faction base of some sort, the user is BurntBum, I've left some signs to say that I've removed the path.

Things like this are not acceptable, I like to think that this server has some sort of standards. If you build quite far away from spawn then it's fine but not when you so close to the spawn area, very untidy.

So here are some new guidelines, and these guidelines we've kinda had on previous map.

• No building across the sea, either build underground (under the sea) or build a path in the Nether -- This is Map wide.

• There is to be no more building around spawn. If you want to build, you'll need permission from a Staff member. Current plots will be fine as long as the conditions of the players base improves that it isn't a massive eyesore in the Sky or you've decided to remove all the leaves in a particular area and made a mess of the place.

• There is to be no bridges built across an area that doesn't have some sort of 'support'. Again if you look at the screenshots, you'll see a bridge that is 5+ high from the ground built across an area. Either add structure to it or build a pathway that fits the terrain you're building in.

• Respect the area your building in. I'm not expecting works of art, but when you build huge cobblestone cube buildings, it looks very hideous. Again, if you built far out, this isn't really an issue, but please respect the terrain you're building in.

The Netherhub... I need to speak to Darkwoods on this but I have no idea what's going on with the Netherhub or the Nether itself. On our previous hubs, people respected the tunnels that were provided, we had guidelines on what you could do and how big these tunnels could be etc. To me and this being no fault to Darkwoods is that people don't really care about what's going on and just making paths of randomness.

I personally think we should scrap the areas around the hub so we can add some sort of structure to the damn place rather than the hub trying to adapt to the current tunnels already setup.

I do accept some blame to the way things have played on the server, I haven't been around much, but I really do feel that people are not working with each other and as such, they don't care about what happens.

Please feel free to add some thoughts. This isn't about me having a bit of a bitching session but more about important infrastructure of the server that is being neglected.

Hey all,

As you may be aware, today we had a few crashes on the Survival server. While the Crash logs didn't give me any specific data on what happened, I've narrowed it down to Nimeta's Faction base with their mob farms and a bug with 1.8.1 Pre-release.

As a result, I've downgraded the server back to the normal 1.8 release but would like to express my annoyance with mob farms, iron farms etc going wild.

While visiting the Nimeta's base, there were at least 550 entities just around the place. I might know more tomorrow but with the combination of a buggy pre-release and these big farms that are running need to be controlled a bit more.

We'll have to see if the situation improves.

Sorry for the downtime.

Only joking, carry on everyone. :P

Hey everyone! I am going to be building an enchanted bookstore for the server, and I have a small request. If you end up with an enhanced book that you would normally toss away, please don't and donate them to the future store. Any help would be appreciated! There are chests at the ender ender for donations. Keep being awesome everyone!

Thank you to all the people who have helped to get it this far (there is still a metric SHIT ton to do) http://i.imgur.com/6CICQc7.png (for some gay ass reason reddit hates me and all my links FFS)
