I think this server should have some sort of an Auto-Restart plugin. That way, the server won't crash because of a buildup of lag, and people won't lose a good amount of their inventory because the rollbacks didn't match up or something like what happened today.

Here's one I found just by Googeling one real quick: http://dev.bukkit.or...simple_restart/

Is it like yearbook with 'best comedian' and stuff? Cuz that would be cool

[ryanthemagi]

We've tried restart plugins in the past but it didn't work out too well. We can attempt it again though.

I'd also like to nominate Poot for the HoF for being what I think is the longest standing member of the server.

So, more mod suggestions:

1.) Fossils and Archeology: ­in' dinosaurs. 'Nuff said.

2.) Weather and Tornadoes: Who remembers the movie Twister?

3.) Flan's Mod: This mods allows you to add new items to the game through content packs (and there are a lot of packs). This includes things such as new weapons and vehicles from Modern Warfare and Mass Effect.

4.) Smart Moving: Expanded player movement options. Should help those who like to explore but can't use the Ender Pearls anymore.

5.) Rei's Minimap: Pretty much what it says, a minimap system for navigating Minecraft. The great thing about this is you can also set waypoints to enable finding your way back to things later (not everyone can afford to have ten /homes).

6.) Balkan's WeaponMod: A weapon expansion mod that adds new craftable weapons such as boomerangs, crossbows, halberds, battle axes ect. I especially like the portable cannons.

7.) Buildcraft/Industrial-Craft: Expansions onto the basic Redstone mechanics, you builders should love these. Buildcraft focuses on machinery (engines and piping) while Industrial-Craft is more about electricity and high-end science (nuclear generators dudes!).

8.) Clay Soldiers: Make little clay armies who will fight each other to the death! Toss them items to increase their fighting power.

9.) Mo' Creatures: More creatures XD.

10.) Thaumcraft: A magic system for Minecraft, can be applied to already existing worlds.

P.S. Is there a way for you guys to raise the level cap on item repair? Maybe bring it to 45-50? I know it was originally placed into Minecraft as a balance thing, but seeing as how people can just buy enchantments anyways on this server it seems kind of pointless.

[Hyeroshi]

The thing about server mods is that everyone needs to download the mod in order to play on the server. I think Rei's minimap and smartmoving are the only two that don't require the server to have in order to use, although we don't permit the use of smartmoving.

I've never particularly cared for mo'creatures. I find the sound they make really dumb and the designs dumb as well.

[Benchor]

And all you're really doing there is listing the quota of mods in the Tekkit pack. In which case they should just make the server into a Tekkit server.

[ryanthemagi]

Yeah as others have said, we do not install mods onto the server - only plugins. A list of plugins can be found at http://plugins.bukkit.org/curseforge/

Also, after careful consideration and listening to feedback, we have decided to re-enable enderpearls. Enjoy.

[Kyotra]

Oh, oops, didn't realize there was a difference between mods and plugins. I guess that tosses out all the interesting stuff...

Well, how about Dynmap? At the very least I would look forward to having a tool that can aid in wilderness navigation.

*Looks at Tekkit page* And why can't we do this?

[bex372]

So enderpearls are back ... rejoice!

[AuxiliaryCow]

So, am I the only one getting the error:

Failed to login: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL blah blah blah.

Must be their stupid login servers, again.

Lately I've been getting the "Failed to login: Bad login" error. It's probably the auth servers.

[Kinglikesbawls]

Cant get in, is it down?

[ryanthemagi]

Server was down. The problem has been corrected and should result in significantly fewer issues.

[Twig56]

I would have to say that this server is decent and i would like to say this also. Bex, and street i would first off like to say that bex doesn't raise kids that well, and that you should at least let IanHershey's town, and nation be. If they say they want to remove that is still up for ian to decide. I have made myself a grave next to bex's statue that i made. Bex's statue is behind street's statue so please view it. I would also like to say that hyeroshi, kronos, squid, and arctic can go to hell. Justin however can go burn in hell since he is an ­ who no one likes besides for 2 mods. I would like to comment that i have made my own server that only a few select people know about.

[Hyeroshi]

I've laughed at enough black and cripple jokes in my time to know I'm already going to Hell.

It was fun at first Twig, but you somehow managed to turn a lot of people on the server against you and in turn create a negative aura around yourself. Spamming the /slap command multiple times was also an issue. I won't go any further in detail than I need to, but you do need to be considerate about the players around you. And while the mod team might seem like a crazy bunch of guys who probably are coming to Hell along with me, we do make sure everything is in order and keep well communicated even while not in game. You did have quite a few close calls and tested our patience a lot, so you had to see this coming.

With that out of the way, I think I might make some redstone contraptions to see if the server has the ability to not crash while they're active.

[AuxiliaryCow]

Well said, Hyero. At any rate, you have a lot of growing up to do, Twig. Your post alone clearly shows that. Even nano, who's like what, 13 or something? Acts more mature than you most of the time. You troll people just because you know it's annoying them; you rage at everything and can't take a single joke in your own expense. As soon as you started to donate, you thought you became the God of the server. Your arrogance and ignorance sickens me.

In response to your redstone comment, Hyero, I've been having some issues with redstone. It seems like half the time it works, and then it doesn't. Even something as simple as a redstone lamp with a torch under it sometimes doesn't work. Not sure if that's part of 1.4.5 or a random bug in the server. After I mess with it for like 10 seconds, it seems to work perfectly fine, though.

[Hyeroshi]

There are a few of the plugins that do conflict with redstone, but I'm unable to pinpoint them because we have a wide array of them. I think we have the redstone and signs plugin, so that's probably one of the things messing with it. If you break a powered lamp with a silk touch pick it will also give you the lit lamp back, allowing for a 1-time use bud switch.
