Hello and Welcome to the Official WOTE Developement Topic. Here you will find all sorts of important information relevant to the project. Lets start off with Who, What, When, Where and Why.
War Of The Empires Is Brought To You By...
Who Is WOTE?
WOTE is a new developement project, led by I, johnyboy678. It will be formed by a team of 5-6 staff, 10-12 builders, 2-3 technicians and an artist. The server will be ran by these users, and after launch, they shall be rewarded by a rank in the official server as well as a hidden special prize. We will need to work day and night to get this server running successfully.
What Is WOTE?
WOTE is a civilization/war based server. Users are to pick one of four races/kingdoms at the start of the game, and as they mine, farm, chop and craft, their kingdom benefits from it too. The overall goal is to work with your kingdom's civilization to earn different milestones within your nation that will unlock new perks, such as better technology, more land, more damage, better armor, sneaking and more. This is all used to aid your kingdom in the time of war, as the four races simply can't go without it. There will be other side events including in-kingdom quests, mob arena, and McMMO.
When Will WOTE Release?
We are projecting a release date of January 31st, 2011, but we cannot do it without the aid of the community. Don't hold me to this date, as it may be earlier or later.
Where Is WOTE Hosted?
WOTE is currently under debate as to where it will be hosted. Currently, it has 4 different offers from different hosting companies that are interested in sponsored hosting. One of the most currently considered is MCLayer.
Why Make WOTE?
I have been a part of the MC Multiplayer community for roughly 2 years now, and I have gone through more then my fair share of servers. None of them has ever REALLY sparked my interest enough to captivate me in the server for a prolonged amount of time. A new creative idea hit me a few days back, and so the WOTE Project was born. We aim to revolutionize the war MC Multiplayer is played.
WOTE Features:
- A Unique Perk/Upgrade System
- Intense Kingdom / Race Based PvP
- Unique, Modified Combat
- Teamwork Based Envoirment
- Very Involved Economy
- Active Wars
- Magic Additions
- Unique Kingdom/Town Setup
Get Involved!
We need YOUR help! If your a talented builder, an expert plugin dev, a minecraft guru, and think-outside-the-box kinda guy, whatever talent you might have, we need YOU!

Thought I would post to keep this topic alive, this seems like a good project.
Applying for Moderator (If admins are more needed, Ill also attempt for that):
IGN: Tortada
Age: 15
Location: Rhode Island (Eastern Standard Time)
Time played: Depends on how much fun Im having. It can hit the 4-5 hour mark in the weekends.
I'm choosing to apply for moderator on this server. I love servers like this, and it seems perfect for what I'm looking for. The ability to help one from the ground up is great. I am applying for moderator position because I have plenty of experience moderating. I have moderated the last four servers I became dedicated to, all of which went under from financial difficulty. Each lasted a few months, some more than others. I also ran a small server for a short time, however that did not last. I am applying specifically for moderator because I don't have any special artistic talents like graphics and coding. However, I am a decent builder, and I have more experience moderating a server than most. I also have a positive attitude and I try to be as mature as possible, which is very mature for my age.
Thanks for considering!
Edit: Sending an application on the form site as well, I figure it must be easier to sort out applications via the website.
While reading this, I noticed you said " Payment Based On Funding And Work Effort On Release" does that mean you are trying for a P2P server? If so count me out brotha, dont know bout you but atleast 60% of the minecraft community is below the age of 18 and there for cannot pay to play a game. Especialy when we already bought it.
Also, if you still need a host, id recomend mcprohosting.com $10 = 15 slots, no lag, godly ammount of RAM, and little to no downtime (I use it for my server, Fallout: New England.)
We have 5 different hosting companies atm that are offering the first couple months of hosting free, even one offering a permanent free 16gb or 24gb in return for sponsorship, so we're good for now. Thanks though!
hey ken can i talk with you over a skype call? I wish to discuss with you about your server. :wink.gif:
I excel at building, but only if my questions are answered.
my skye name is mgadrim96
Hello, my name is Michael Gadrim, and im going to get to the point very fast. If you want the user friendly version of my post, then use the spoiler box system bellow (which i advise, it has more pictures and the info your looking for). If you wish to read the whole thing without a organized system, then be my guest and use the second spoiler box system. ( it uses 1 spoiler box so that it doesn't take up the whole page.)
Last but not least, id like to thank you for you time, and ill be sure to make it up to you if im permitted onto your server.

Builder Application
Hello my name is mgadrim96 bellow this statement will be my formal application.
IGN: mgadrim96 Name: Michael Gadrim Age: 15 Gender: male Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time ( I live in Florida ) Do you Agree to all the terms and conditions: yes How long have i player Minecraft?: Since the second patch of beta. How many servers have you been on in the past?: At least 10, all of which benefited from my creations. What experience do you have with server?: I have owned 3 servers, all of which i shut down due to i couldn't do what i loved to do, and that is building. I had to spend all my time fixing plugins and solving social issues. Do you work best in groups or by yourself?: I work great in groups as long as the people i work with understand basic building principles. Maturity Level 1-10: 8 Dedication Level 1-10: 9 TeamWork Level 1-10: 8 (if they know what they're doing) Type of Builder (Redstoneer, City's, Aircraft, Landscaping, Other (Please specify)): Truly im everything but redstone. I can build huge airships with excellent detail, as well as landscaping. But above all i love city planning. My pictures will show my building skill. Why do you want to join the team: Because i want to be apart of a server that has the will and power to go to the top. I'm tired of servers that just die out because of laziness. Notes:
- I do have Skype, Ventrilio, Teamspeak, Raidcall, and i do speak quite often in regular chat. If need be i can get any other program.
- I'm very good at building in a RPG them but i can build just as good in a creative theme.
- I know very basic redstone. What role would i like: Builder or Terraformer Why: Because unlike most i study to build good, and above all things i believe in detail before size.
I would like to terraform though because i love to build my own enviroments, but what ever you need me to build i can do. More Notes: If youd like to test my buildings skill then simply assign me a small plot of your choice and ill building you anything you want inside of that space. (building wise) By the way im decent at redstone but im no master at it.
Pictures:
-This is the entrance to a city i designed. Never got to finishing it because the admins of the server said that they were leaving. Note that all this was built by me.
-This is the backside of the entrance. The garden you see was hand designed by me, and the trees are of my original design (from what i know of).
- This is a train station. The glass shots that are held in place by the wood brackets are shots that 1 person can fit into and travel downwards at a fast speed. The flag in the background is my cities flag. This project was also not finished seeing as the admin left and shut off the server with their departure.
- This picture is of a airship i built using the "Better than Wolves" mod. I know that it looks very small and not so good, but i just finished it today so it still has alot of work left.
-This is a small project i did when i was bored. I turned a whole lake to ice and made a snow temple on it. ( i did this when i was bored so yes it may be simple)
and
But sadly the second picture is a bad picture of the sewer i built.
This is a picture of a old Fort that i built. It was based off a winter barbarian theme.
Picture of the entrance to a dungeon i made. Sadly i couldn't find the pictures of the dungeon.
This is the inside of a temple i built.
This is of a airship i build. Based off a steampunk idea.
Old little village i built when i first started building in minecraft.
A very small village. Note this whole village was hand design by me. Even the terrain.
Part of the overall village from above.
Close up picture of the main house from the village above.
What i am looking for:
- Some sort of server that is striving to make its server better.
- A active community, if there is not one present then........ "A admin that is avidly recruiting new players to the server."
- Some sort of user group system. ( i dont like greifing)
What i wish to accomplish on the server:
- Teach and help new builders master their building style.
- Last but not least, benefit the server with my creations.
My building style goes like this:
First build a starting point
- then construct a basis for main point of intresest (what i want people to see first when they see what ive built).
- After that i begin to expand, i branch off the original design.
Rules to my building sytle:
One- Never use obasidian, tnt, diamond blocks, iron blocks, or gold blocks.
Two- Always focus on detail, never focus on the size of the project.
Three- At least try to implement one if not two moving elements. (water, pistons, or lava.)
Four- Never ever build a flat walled surface. As in building a house with no details on the sides.
Plugins i know how to use:
-Permissions
-LWC
-Citizens (to a extent)
-World edit
-Voxel Sniper
I know quite a few more but im not sure if they've gone into inactivity. Plus many many more.
Skills i bring to the table:
- Skin edit. I can make the server some skins if need be.
- Server Administration skills.
- Contacts that are very good at redstone.
- Fraps, so yes i can record but i do not edit, someone else would have to do that.
- Forum post coding skills. (as in this post Im making now, i could code to look very nice and have all kinds of cool features. So if you wish i can code your forum post.
- Active member of a community once people get to know me.
Seeing as I have decided to make this my main goal and target (to benefit the server) i wish to apply for the mod status. Note that i am ok if you wish to over look this, i simply do this so that if you need someone on Eastern Standard time and has previous skill with administrating a server i can. My app will be bellow in a spoiler box. It is hand made there was no designated template i followed.
Formal Application:
Name:My name is mgadrim96 and my full/real name is Michael Gadrim.
Why am i applying?:I am applying for the Moderator status because i wish to benefit this server by rooting out mean players, and potential greifers. I also wish to benefit the players by nicely correcting them if they begin to get to aggressive.
I am 15 years old but i am very rational, and i take pride in my way of determining who's right from wrong.
Why should you pick me?: Well its not a matter of why me, its a matter of who has what you need. If my skills are what you need in a moderator then i may suit you best. But there are many people in Minecraft and each one has a different set of skills, so i may not be the best fit.
How much time can i dedicate to the server?: As much as i can i do have school during the week but i get on Minecraft everyday for 4 hours. On the weekends however I'm on almost all day.
(If you wish for me to answer any questions about my mod app please either pm me or write post a comment and i will fix this app.)
What makes me able to be a mod?: Well I've been a mod on about 3 servers and admin on 4. All of which appreciated me for how much i helped people. I do not get angry at people unless the down right rude to someone. Reason being is this "treat others as you want to be treated." I believe that if someone wants to put them selves in the shoes of a angry person then they should expect others to do the same to defend there friend. So with that said i will be calm and collective until the point when the person loses all reasoning and takes it into his own hands to show anger.
Suggestions and Ideas for the servers development:
General Ideas:
First: would be that i believe "we as a server (even though im not accepted yet) should form a group of people who understand basic economy concepts and create a server specific economy system." For example, minecraft has alot of items that are not used or have a physical use. Such as the ids 34, 36, 104, and 105, and 368 (as i know of). These items can be used as ingame currency so that we can remove a economy plugin to relieve stress on the server. This would also encourage minor pvp so that when someone kills a enemy they have a chance to loot the "currency" off the loot that is dropped. But back to my point, i think we should form a group that will focus on the economy of the server. Plugins should only be used for things that we can not physically implement into the server.
Link to the item ids: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
Server specific ideas:
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
Server Player Guide:
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
Plugins for the server:
Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.
Unorganized post: (there is one spoiler, this is to ensure that this post remains small in size.)

May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
Plugins for the server:
Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.
Hello and Welcome to the Official WOTE Developement Topic. Here you will find all sorts of important information relevant to the project. Lets start off with Who, What, When, Where and Why.
War Of The Empires Is Brought To You By...
Who Is WOTE?
WOTE is a new developement project, led by I, johnyboy678. It will be formed by a team of 5-6 staff, 10-12 builders, 2-3 technicians and an artist. The server will be ran by these users, and after launch, they shall be rewarded by a rank in the official server as well as a hidden special prize. We will need to work day and night to get this server running successfully.
What Is WOTE?
WOTE is a civilization/war based server. Users are to pick one of four races/kingdoms at the start of the game, and as they mine, farm, chop and craft, their kingdom benefits from it too. The overall goal is to work with your kingdom's civilization to earn different milestones within your nation that will unlock new perks, such as better technology, more land, more damage, better armor, sneaking and more. This is all used to aid your kingdom in the time of war, as the four races simply can't go without it. There will be other side events including in-kingdom quests, mob arena, and McMMO.
When Will WOTE Release?
We are projecting a release date of January 31st, 2011, but we cannot do it without the aid of the community. Don't hold me to this date, as it may be earlier or later.
Where Is WOTE Hosted?
WOTE is currently under debate as to where it will be hosted. Currently, it has 4 different offers from different hosting companies that are interested in sponsored hosting. One of the most currently considered is MCLayer.
Why Make WOTE?
I have been a part of the MC Multiplayer community for roughly 2 years now, and I have gone through more then my fair share of servers. None of them has ever REALLY sparked my interest enough to captivate me in the server for a prolonged amount of time. A new creative idea hit me a few days back, and so the WOTE Project was born. We aim to revolutionize the war MC Multiplayer is played.
WOTE Features:
- A Unique Perk/Upgrade System
- Intense Kingdom / Race Based PvP
- Unique, Modified Combat
- Teamwork Based Envoirment
- Very Involved Economy
- Active Wars
- Magic Additions
- Unique Kingdom/Town Setup
Get Involved!
We need YOUR help! If your a talented builder, an expert plugin dev, a minecraft guru, and think-outside-the-box kinda guy, whatever talent you might have, we need YOU!
Become a part of the WOTE Development Project today, and help towards a new common cause, revolutionizing the way we play. Plus, the benefits, oh the benefits.
What Do I Get For Helping Out?

IGN: Tortada
Age: 15
Location: Rhode Island (Eastern Standard Time)
Time played: Depends on how much fun Im having. It can hit the 4-5 hour mark in the weekends.
I'm choosing to apply for moderator on this server. I love servers like this, and it seems perfect for what I'm looking for. The ability to help one from the ground up is great. I am applying for moderator position because I have plenty of experience moderating. I have moderated the last four servers I became dedicated to, all of which went under from financial difficulty. Each lasted a few months, some more than others. I also ran a small server for a short time, however that did not last. I am applying specifically for moderator because I don't have any special artistic talents like graphics and coding. However, I am a decent builder, and I have more experience moderating a server than most. I also have a positive attitude and I try to be as mature as possible, which is very mature for my age.
Thanks for considering!
Edit: Sending an application on the form site as well, I figure it must be easier to sort out applications via the website.
Server is free.
Ah, ok. Well, I might play when you release, ive got to worry about my server. Good luck.
Also, nice job, one of the few people ive seen thats been 'round longer than me (since survival test.)
Cool.
Also, if you still need a host, id recomend mcprohosting.com $10 = 15 slots, no lag, godly ammount of RAM, and little to no downtime (I use it for my server, Fallout: New England.)
I excel at building, but only if my questions are answered.
my skye name is mgadrim96
And I have no mic atm.
Hello, my name is Michael Gadrim, and im going to get to the point very fast.

Name: Michael Gadrim
Age: 15
Gender: male
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time ( I live in Florida )
Do you Agree to all the terms and conditions: yes
How long have i player Minecraft?: Since the second patch of beta.
How many servers have you been on in the past?: At least 10, all of which benefited from my creations.
What experience do you have with server?: I have owned 3 servers, all of which i shut down due to i couldn't do what i loved to do, and that is building. I had to spend all my time fixing plugins and solving social issues.
Do you work best in groups or by yourself?: I work great in groups as long as the people i work with understand basic building principles.
Maturity Level 1-10: 8
Dedication Level 1-10: 9
TeamWork Level 1-10: 8 (if they know what they're doing)
Type of Builder (Redstoneer, City's, Aircraft, Landscaping, Other (Please specify)): Truly im everything but redstone. I can build huge airships with excellent detail, as well as landscaping. But above all i love city planning. My pictures will show my building skill.
Why do you want to join the team: Because i want to be apart of a server that has the will and power to go to the top. I'm tired of servers that just die out because of laziness.
Notes:
- I do have Skype, Ventrilio, Teamspeak, Raidcall, and i do speak quite often in regular chat. If need be i can get any other program.
- I'm very good at building in a RPG them but i can build just as good in a creative theme.
- I know very basic redstone.
What role would i like: Builder or Terraformer
Why: Because unlike most i study to build good, and above all things i believe in detail before size.
I would like to terraform though because i love to build my own enviroments, but what ever you need me to build i can do.
More Notes: If youd like to test my buildings skill then simply assign me a small plot of your choice and ill building you anything you want inside of that space. (building wise) By the way im decent at redstone but im no master at it.
-This is the entrance to a city i designed. Never got to finishing it because the admins of the server said that they were leaving. Note that all this was built by me.
-This is the backside of the entrance. The garden you see was hand designed by me, and the trees are of my original design (from what i know of).
- This is a train station. The glass shots that are held in place by the wood brackets are shots that 1 person can fit into and travel downwards at a fast speed. The flag in the background is my cities flag. This project was also not finished seeing as the admin left and shut off the server with their departure.
- This picture is of a airship i built using the "Better than Wolves" mod. I know that it looks very small and not so good, but i just finished it today so it still has alot of work left.
-This is a small project i did when i was bored. I turned a whole lake to ice and made a snow temple on it. ( i did this when i was bored so yes it may be simple)
and
But sadly the second picture is a bad picture of the sewer i built.
This is a picture of a old Fort that i built. It was based off a winter barbarian theme.
Picture of the entrance to a dungeon i made. Sadly i couldn't find the pictures of the dungeon.
This is the inside of a temple i built.
This is of a airship i build. Based off a steampunk idea.
Old little village i built when i first started building in minecraft.
A very small village. Note this whole village was hand design by me. Even the terrain.
Part of the overall village from above.
Close up picture of the main house from the village above.
Small hand designed lake, form the village above.
More pictures that are quite detailed. Detailed pictures using redpower mod.
What i am looking for:
- Some sort of server that is striving to make its server better.
- A active community, if there is not one present then........ "A admin that is avidly recruiting new players to the server."
- Some sort of user group system. ( i dont like greifing)
What i wish to accomplish on the server:
- Teach and help new builders master their building style.
- Last but not least, benefit the server with my creations.
My building style goes like this:
First build a starting point
- then construct a basis for main point of intresest (what i want people to see first when they see what ive built).
- After that i begin to expand, i branch off the original design.
Rules to my building sytle:
One- Never use obasidian, tnt, diamond blocks, iron blocks, or gold blocks.
Two- Always focus on detail, never focus on the size of the project.
Three- At least try to implement one if not two moving elements. (water, pistons, or lava.)
Four- Never ever build a flat walled surface. As in building a house with no details on the sides.
Plugins i know how to use:
-Permissions
-LWC
-Citizens (to a extent)
-World edit
-Voxel Sniper
I know quite a few more but im not sure if they've gone into inactivity. Plus many many more.
Skills i bring to the table:
- Skin edit. I can make the server some skins if need be.
- Server Administration skills.
- Contacts that are very good at redstone.
- Fraps, so yes i can record but i do not edit, someone else would have to do that.
- Forum post coding skills. (as in this post Im making now, i could code to look very nice and have all kinds of cool features. So if you wish i can code your forum post.
- Active member of a community once people get to know me.
Links to my old servers that i used to own:
-MY first RPG server
-Same server different post.
Moderator Application
Seeing as I have decided to make this my main goal and target (to benefit the server) i wish to apply for the mod status. Note that i am ok if you wish to over look this, i simply do this so that if you need someone on Eastern Standard time and has previous skill with administrating a server i can. My app will be bellow in a spoiler box. It is hand made there was no designated template i followed.
Formal Application:
Name:My name is mgadrim96 and my full/real name is Michael Gadrim.
Why am i applying?:I am applying for the Moderator status because i wish to benefit this server by rooting out mean players, and potential greifers. I also wish to benefit the players by nicely correcting them if they begin to get to aggressive.
I am 15 years old but i am very rational, and i take pride in my way of determining who's right from wrong.
Why should you pick me?: Well its not a matter of why me, its a matter of who has what you need. If my skills are what you need in a moderator then i may suit you best. But there are many people in Minecraft and each one has a different set of skills, so i may not be the best fit.
How much time can i dedicate to the server?: As much as i can i do have school during the week but i get on Minecraft everyday for 4 hours. On the weekends however I'm on almost all day.
(If you wish for me to answer any questions about my mod app please either pm me or write post a comment and i will fix this app.)
What makes me able to be a mod?: Well I've been a mod on about 3 servers and admin on 4. All of which appreciated me for how much i helped people. I do not get angry at people unless the down right rude to someone. Reason being is this "treat others as you want to be treated." I believe that if someone wants to put them selves in the shoes of a angry person then they should expect others to do the same to defend there friend. So with that said i will be calm and collective until the point when the person loses all reasoning and takes it into his own hands to show anger.
General Ideas:
First: would be that i believe "we as a server (even though im not accepted yet) should form a group of people who understand basic economy concepts and create a server specific economy system." For example, minecraft has alot of items that are not used or have a physical use. Such as the ids 34, 36, 104, and 105, and 368 (as i know of). These items can be used as ingame currency so that we can remove a economy plugin to relieve stress on the server. This would also encourage minor pvp so that when someone kills a enemy they have a chance to loot the "currency" off the loot that is dropped. But back to my point, i think we should form a group that will focus on the economy of the server. Plugins should only be used for things that we can not physically implement into the server.
Link to the item ids:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
Server specific ideas:
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
Server Player Guide:
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.

Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
Server specific ideas:
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
Server Player Guide:
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
Plugins for the server:
Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.
One last thing, please like this comment if you found the info helpful or creative.
