Quote from ItsBerlinRiver
I'm putting my small opinion in on here, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO VOICE FOR STEVE.
Guys, think about it, why do we all relate to link? Master Chief? Seamus (before she was voice butchered)? Its because everyone could make them talk how they wanted, put the emotions they wanted into any line, they never knew what those characters were really thinking, we all just knew they kicked ass and we got to make them do it.
Steve can't have a voice, it wont be right, we can't put a voice into the character we've created multiple songs, animations, and machinima's about, it will ruin them all, putting some "real movie" voice actor on him, so if mojang is looking at this, please no voice for Steve, we love him because he doesn't have one, and we can make him who we WANT to make him.
I'm sure people will be with me when I say, putting a voice on Steve, would just end badly.
Of course they're going to have a voice for Steve. Or they're gonna have to find another main character. It's hard to make a good film without dialogue. And also, if it's gonna to be comedy(probably), then voice is going to be doubly important; how is he going to make jokes without talking?. It's also hard to create personality without speaking.
They could try to do it without speaking, but come on, he has a mouth, and he should use it. There are very small amounts of films/plays that don't have the main character speak.

Well I've rejoined the server, after a 1.5 year hiatus. Don't know if I'll last, but I'll certainly try. I've had great times here and hope to have more. Nice to see the server still chugging online.

Not trying to spark a discussion here. Just wanted to see how many gamers have actually heard of it, given that its such a controversial topic yet it seems to be relatively unknown to the average/casual gamer.

Well, if it was just .com that would mean a new domain and Enjin would have to pay money to buy one.
But if it's just .enjin.com they don't have to pay extra for a new domain.
So if you really want it to be just .com, there should be an option on Enjin for you to buy your own domain for you website.

I believe he was referring to you attacking me over the fact that you were more 'experienced'. In which case, it is more of an argument against me than it was against my viewpoint, aka ad hominem.
I still think you're over exaggerating the instances of plugin failure.

You have failed to address my point. Even if command blocks are more reliable, they still can't do what most plugins can. Why would I use them then? I see plugins, and they still have a lot of functionality that command blocks do not. Even if command blocks can do some things, plugins do it better.
I have yet to see server fall from so-called technical issues. Even if it does, you make it sound like a problem affecting the vast majority of servers, which is a huge overstatement.
Yeah I could make my server more reliable, and then like lose 80% of its functionality. Why would I try that?

I'm fully aware of what command blocks can do. I've even made a few adventure maps myself with their capabilities. However they can only provide a half-baked version of complex plugins, with poor imitations of their abilities. McMMO is more complex that that. What if I want an exponential xp curve? Custom brewing recipes? Pressing a certain key to activate something? Automatically cutting down a tree? Even if you managed to implement those, your command block setup would likely be huge and unwieldy, and very laggy.
There are several technical issues with command blocks as well. There is only one sidebar display slot. What if a player wants to see their mcmmo stats? Bringing up the scoreboard will do it for the whole server, not just them. Command blocks can't yet detect if a player presses a certain key or clicks their mouse, rendering a lot of McMMo abilities useless. There are still several issues with command blocks. They can't detect if a player enters a certain command. What if a player wants to go to their sethome, or bring up a town menu? Surely they can't always have an item in their inventory to activate the command blocks. They need that room for other things.
Plugins are a lot more convenient that way. They still have much more capability than command blocks, despite the fact that command blocks are much more powerful now. Command blocks can do a lot of things, but they often involve a bunch of clocks and using items to activate things, both laggy and inconvenient. And often they use hundreds upon thousands of command blocks. That's both hard to create and hard to maintain for the average server owner. Say he wanted to change the drop chances of a certain treasure item. That would require him/her to go through thousands of command blocks to find it, and change it. While with plugins they can just change a config file.
And worldedit is pretty much a requirement for any large-scale build, especially ones involving terrain. Last time I checked, Minecraft didn't have a brush command. Our server awards WE to those who deserve it, because they need it for large-scale creations. A lot of servers on our build wouldn't be possible without WE. Terrain which might have taken months can be done in a week.
It's not a question of which is more reliable, command blocks are still vastly inferior to plugins in functionality. The server I play on wouldn't work without plugins. For example, it has many different warps. A plugin just needs the user to type in a command. Doing this with command blocks would probably involve having to go to some sort of warp room. And my server has dozens of warps. There would be no easy way to find the one you want to go to. This is functionality many servers require, and plugins provide a much superior solution.

(I wrote this as a lesson, not an argument. My stance is you either take it, or leave it. Any argument attempting to change my mind about plugins will not happen so save yourself some time if you plan to. If you have any questions pertaining to command blocks, feel free to ask. I am always glad to enlighten someone on the matter.)
This is a discussion forum. If you wanted to just talk about command blocks you should have started by not antagonizing plugins.
I'd like to see how you would implement a highly complicated plugin like Towny or McMMO, both extremely popular plugins and core parts of the server I play on.
Or Worldedit, Voxelbox, essential plugins for creative servers.
Plugins still have vastly greater abilities than command blocks.

I need a source on Mojang saying that.
Also, Mojang is still working on Minecraft. Just because they're owned by Microsoft doesn't mean they suddenly stopped developing the game. Disney bought Lucasfilm, do you think they would tear down the entire studio?
As for dimensions, it would depend on what the dimension was like. I would personally want Mojang to fix existing issues in the game, instead of using their time for yet another dimension that we may or may not need. We do need bugfixes, and a Plugin API, now that Bukkit is taken down.

The best part about this server is the staff, who work really hard on everything and really do care about the server. They'll be quick to ban anyone who breaks the rules, regardless of rank. You won't see abuse or bias from this server. They ask the community for their opinion in everything. The players are really nice and helpful too.
Highly recommend you try it out. Also their other servers as well; they have the same standard of quality.

How many people are working on it? Seems like it could take a while.

Sounds mostly like aesthetic things.
Not sure about gem boosters, but I'm pretty sure I saw a news post saying they changed their ranks to comply with the EULA.

Nice enchants. But seriously, the last post on this thread was almost a year ago. Don't necro old posts.

However, I am wary of anyone calling themselves the most detailed build. I'm not trying to shoot down your project or anything. I really do like it. It's incredible, truly.
But this http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/project-1845/ , has always blown my mind. If completed, it would contain over half a million unique buildings. It's been 3 years in the making and about 6% done. It's an interesting project to look at.
But not to derail your thread. I really hope you complete this, since it seems to be your 3rd attempt. hopefully you can finish this time. Good luck!

There are two servers, survival and creative. You'll find most people on survival. However, the few people that are on creative are very good. Just take a look around, the builds are of high-quality.
Okay, sorry for the advertising. I highly recommend you take a look at it. The IP is mc.shadecrest.com, I promise you won't regret it.
On topic, what kind of server experience are you looking for? There are plenty of big minigames servers and quite a few faction servers. If you want a more grounded survival experience, I suggest you take a look at the server above. There are plenty of servers, just depends on what you're looking for.
