Minecraft Crafter's Community

Update: Aggressive mode has been removed from both Zombie and Skeleton pets for the time being.

Please note that if you have set your pet to aggressive mode it will attack anything that isn't a tamed pet. This includes villagers and livestock. Please be aware of this, as your pet slaughtering animals/villagers on claimed land is the same as you doing it.

Here's a brief summary of what's happening and when. Where appropriate I've added links to more information.

Right Now

• Daily login rewards and voting rewards are doubled for the entire month.
• A chat based quiz will reward in-game currency, with daily and weekly prizes as well.
• Pets are here! These are pets you can train up and will gain skills and strength as they go. See the Pet Vendor in shops world to buy permissions you can use to get your first pets. New pets will be available throughout the month.

More announcements to follow. Please join us for the celebration and have fun reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

There are a lot of moving parts to the upcoming upgrade to 1.13 on the server. This is a general overview of what is going to happen and when. I'll start with a brief summary, then go into more detail below.

Summary

Hardcore and Flatlands are being removed. Projects has already been removed.
Build, Resource and Survival are being reset.
The versions of build and survival worlds that will be available for download have been archived.
A public works world (overworld, nether and end) will be added for public farms and group builds to persist.
Everyone will have access to bottomless chests during the transition and for a limited time afterward.
There will be a process for players to save important, non-trivial builds and have them migrated to the new maps. See below.

Timeline

August

Hardcore and Flatlands worlds will be removed, along with associated plugins.
Build and Survival worlds have been backed up...

Vaults world will be phased out, to be replaced by Bottomless Chests

Vaults world is going to be phased out, probably sometime in the next few months. There is no timeline currently but there will be an announcement once one is set. We will NOT be deleting your items, or the world itself, but after the cutoff it will become fairly difficult to access them.

Donors now have access to a new plugin called Bottomless Chest. Click the link to see the wiki entry for more information.

Hey Everyone! Get ready for another public farm building project! (Scroll to the bottom to see how YOU can get involved today!)
With the success of the slime farm in mind, we've decided to start the planning process for the public blaze farm. This is a project that everyone is welcome and encouraged to get involved with....

Here are the most recently additions and changes to the server, most recent first.
Links go to the full posts.

BottleExp - convert XP back into bottles o' enchanting to sell, use for mending, safely store, etc.
Armor Stand Editor - Easily manipulate armor stands to do amazing things (Boxland only).
Head Database - Thousands of custom heads to use in creative builds (Boxland and Creative).
Home Invites - Any player can use /sethome to set a home, then invite other players to visit.
WorldEdit in /boxland - all users can now use worldedit on their claimed plots in boxland....

And the winner is.... Cakle!

The contest is over, but the plots will be left in place if you'd like to see what the builders came up with.
/warp buildcontest1 to see the plots

Theme was Winter/Spring (use one, the other or both).

Server

• Updated to 1.12.2!

General

• @MajorWumpus is now an admin

Just a quick update. It has been a while, but I've finally been able to update the server to the latest version without having to break everything. It would have happened sooner, but that nasty real-life server that we're forced to 'play' on kept getting in the way.

Nevertheless, there are more changes coming soon, some of them rather... major (pun intended ), so stay tuned!

Effective immediately, I am promoting MajorWumpus to administrator. He will mostly be working on the gameserver side of things. Please congratulate/welcome him to this new role!

He will be able to more effectively push forward the project to revamp the server and community here, and hopefully that will continue to inspire others to help out on it as well. I know us other admins have been too bogged down in "real life" stuff to be as effective as we really need to be, so I am counting on Major to help us move forward!

Greetings all!

We have announcement to make regarding a change to our rules on the topic of banned players and their items. The rules wiki has been updated to reflect this change, and it is posted below for your viewing.
This topic has been brought to the Admin team's attention and we have discussed this at great length. While this effects a small percentage of our member base, it's important to bring this to light due to the nature of the issue.
Previously, when someone asked about a permanently banned player's items, we may have given some of it away. As a result of discussion, we will no longer continue this practice.

Permanently Banned Players
Items
If a member has been permanently banned from our community, regardless of player level, VIP etc. or otherwise, ALL items belonging to this member including chests in the worlds and if they have a vault will be deleted immediately.
NOTE: Do not ask for any of these items, they will not be given out...
