This is a nice server. I'm hoping to show my friend(s) about this server. I only have one problem. I don't think I can follow the fourth rule.

I hope the server grows fast!

(P.S. I'm just joking about that rule business, in case that wasn't obvious enough. )

I don't think any of us can follow the 4th rule.

Connecting as soon as I can.

I'm in.

Looks like fun. I'll try it out.

I would like to be a moderator. My username is ShinyVictini.

#7 the only people who don't like McBans are griefers :cool.gif:

You're ignorant for posting that.

The sole reason I don't like MC Bans is because idiots abuse it. My friend was framed and he can't even go on certain servers because of the jerks who run them. I don't grief. I'm strictly against it.

I was watching some videos released by a notorious griefing group known as aVo to see how they do it.
http://www.youtube.com/user/teamavolition#g/u
I have learned a lot on common and not-so common mistakes made by server owners / OP / Mods.

Good defenses to have:

*1 - Lockable and undestroyable chests are a must. Griefers use special xray mods to see chests regardless of were they are, and go after them first.
*2 - Anti fly detection in survival mode
*3 - Anti " fast mining " detection
*4 - Limit player actions to 2 per second. ( placing blocks & destroying blocks ). Advanced griefers use mass destruction / mass placement programs.
*5 - Good block logging - Being able to undo one person's actions is a must. There are ways around roll backs.
*6 - Disallow new folks to a server ( 60 days ) from using fire, lava, water, tnt, nd destroying other peoples blocks
*7 - Mcban - those that are serial griefers have many accounts, banning one just makes them log in using another one. The more accounts they are not allowed to use, the better.
*8 - White listing - griefing teams are very common, logging in and doing as much damage as possible in a short amount of time.
*9 - De-white listing - griefing teams are known to sign up to a white listed server long in advance of when they plan on attacking. Removing folks from a white list if they do not sign in at least once a week is recommended.
*10 - Zoning - Folks under x amount of days are not allowed to do anything outside of a certain area.
*11 - Update as often as possible. In one video aVo posted, they used a known exploit to gain mod rights, ruining the entire map, and crashing the server.

1. Ever heard of plugins?

2. Disable zombes mods. And wouldn't that screw up the sprinting feature?

3. This rule is so stupid. If you use a fast pickaxe, such as gold or diamond, you'll be banned/kicked for no reason. Think before you post.

4. Limit player actions to two per second? "OMGOMG I NEED TO FINISH MY HOUSE SOON! THE SUN IS SETTING!" *places three blocks of wood very quickly* *Kicked!*

5. Big Brother works fine. And it allows you to log everything. The only thing I don't think you can rollback is water damage.

6. Ever heard of a whitelist? And keeping new people away from that stuff for over a month is waaaay to long. Try two weeks or something.

7. My friend has been framed by idiots who abuse MCBans. They thought he was griefing, and now he has a bad rep. I don't recommend this plugin at all.

8. Only keep people you trust on your whitelist. This will keep people from griefing your server.

9. The only reason you would need to do this is to ban someone.

10. This idea is OK. I don't support it for servers, though. If newer users are restricted for a while, they might get discouraged and leave.

11. I don't like aVO for that reason. I banned their group from my server.

I would probably give your list two Pegasus winged stars out of ten. It has way too many flaws that you could have worked out, and you obviously didn't think when you were banging your head on your keyboard. It restricts players from a lot of things, especially building and mining.

Less 2 minutes.
I spawned near a ravine with iron and diamond in. i punched a tree, mined some stone, then some iron, and then mined the diamond.

I laughed so hard.

Unless you can provide proof that you spawned "in a ravine with iron AND DIAMOND", your argument is invalid. Please supply someone with the seed to test it.

Digging holes are for cowards.

Tree houses and huts, for the win!

Go to the top of the dungeon, dig out a hole in the roof, and pour lava in.

Problem solved.

The following rules are in place on the server:

- All forms of cheating/duping/hacking will result in a ban.

- Any form of glitching that does not fall into the above categories will be punished on a case by case basis up to and including a permanent ban.

- Use of any client mods that give you an unfair advantage over other players will result in a ban. (flight, speed, XRay, PvP, etc.)

- Griefing/Stealing is prohibited and will result in a ban. Stealing from unlocked chests is allowed.

- PvP is obviously still enabled. However, camping and killing the same person (or people) over and over in a short period of a time is not permitted. There's a difference between having fun with PvP and being a jerk.

- You are required to place the name of an animal somewhere in your application (your in-game name does not count)

- Any activities performed while logging in under your account are your responsibility. You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.

- 1x1 Towers are prohibited because they make the server look bad. By extrapolation of this rule, anything that makes the server look ugly (such as floating trees) is also prohibited.

- Don't be an excessive whiner

- If you go and whine to a moderator about how your one glowstone block is missing (or something of similar nature), that is a waste of their time. They have better things to do than patch holes in your wall. Quit being a baby and fix it yourself or you'll get a temp ban for wasting their time.

- Maturity (to a point), respect, and common sense should be the main focus here. If you can't demonstrate all of these at least in part, please find another server.

- By joining the server you acknowledge these rules and any punishment deemed fit by the authorities for breaking them.

- If you want to be nice you should click the + sign in the bottom right of the first post. :]




-There are no spawned items on this server
-Global PvP is enabled. You can attack anyone anywhere(almost) anytime.
-The Spawn Area (safe area) has PvP disabled.
-Blah blah

This server runs on a whitelist in order to deter annoying people. Those that desire to be on the whitelist are required to fill out an application.

The fastest way to get accepted is to register for the private forums and use the application posted on THE WHITELIST THREAD. If you do not wish to register at this time, you can fill out the following application and post it here. It will take me longer to accept you here then it would if you register on the private forums, as those are checked more frequently.

Contrary to popular belief when an Enderman dies holding a block the block seems to be destroyed without a trace, rather than being placed or dropped as an item. That means that often at dawn a certain number of blocks will be forever destroyed as the Endermen holding them are killed by sunlight. The same goes for when it rains and kills an Enderman with a block, or when an Enderman with a block falls into water, lava, collides with a cactus enough, or falls off a cliff.

So blocks aren't just being moved around. They're being deleted. Slowly, infrequently, but at a steady pace.

Over long periods of time (very long just like real erosion) a Minecraft map would theoretically become completely stripped down to bedrock in the chunks the player keeps loaded at night, with only a few areas like those covered in lava and water having any chance of avoiding complete erasure.

I've always felt much safer when I'm taking expeditions into the nether, than when i"m out at night. I think with this new 1.8 update it might be time to move down there for good. With the addition of this mystery mob the enderman who can seem to teleport into your house if you so much as pass your cursor over him, as well as the old wall climbing spiders and mobs that spawn in that small unlit corner of your castle.

In the nether the only hostile things are the large and comparatively passive ghasts, and the lava which is easily avoided. Trees grow, mushrooms and pigmen provide sustainable food, arrows can be made. Only some starting materials need to be brought down and it will be much safer than the upper lands. No need to be afraid of the dark. Pigmen may be fickle neighbors, but they are much better than exploding green penis monsters.

1. The mob you encountered is known as a Ghast, and was introduced with the Nether in the Halloween Update
2. You should be more wary of unknown mobs (saved my life with my first creeper)
3. You can get your stuff back by using sand/gravel (they are affected by gravity, so you can make a huge pile and then dig downwards to get your stuff)

I made one but not as good as the one above mine.
