Well, i saw a pidgeon fly from a wire to an office building in my local business district - Then i figured, "Hey, wouldnt it be great to have a multistorey smoothestone office building type thing in MC, with an elevator, stairs, reception, cubicles, and enough space for room to do EVERYTHING i could ever want to with?" *Jots down notes and quick thoughts, and goes about day*

This was 2 days ago, and im still building the thing.

:biggrin.gif: see like that! that is good inspiration you get a :smile.gif:

Hello everybody, Im just your average day Minecraft player who had an extra laptop running linux, who decided to try out making his own server for him and his friends.

BACKSTORY

JAVA
One of the main reasons why i love Minecraft so much is that 2 years ago i started learning java, and after taking 3 classes, i started teaching myself. I cant really show off anything, so please dont ask, but hearing about Minecraft, and how its in java really got my attention.

THE SERVER BEGINS
I started messing with the commands, and user permissions, while jordan826 was experimenting with minecarts (which are terrible, atleast on my server =P) and stuff like that. Soon after, my brother Cellzero, and my friend Darkdivinity also joined my server.

THE FIRST EVENTS
As we started to build our buildings with spawned items and tools, we kind of made a competition to see whos house was the best. Unfortunately i was more focused on building buildings focused on other aspects of our little town we were building, rather than my house....so i came in dead last ^-^.More and more i built more...town focused buildings. Canals to get around easier (because minecarts suck), storage buildings for everyone. And since we all know each other, its all really a lot of fun.

THE TOWN BEGINS
But....while we were all building and having fun, i was thinking about the longevity of the server....and i knew things were going to slow down to a crawl, and eventually people would lose interest. Thats when i got to thinking: its a lot more fun on single player when you can spawn items (and minecarts!). So as i was trying to think of what to do on my server, me and my brother cellzero were experimenting with user permissions. We got a certain group to not be able to spawn items, but also be able to build/destroy. This would eliminate many bad things: the server getting boring, people spawning useless items, and most of all griefing attempts.

THE GOOD PART

THE MADNESS BEGINS!!!
With the item spawning gone...i had to think of something else to bring interest to all time high. So during a few school days, and one long night, i developed a Minecraft economy system within my server. Using gold bars as the base for money, i slowly and carefully started pricing every single item in the game. Now before i started doing this, i realized that gold tools and armor would possibly rule/destroy this system, and i also am still not able to prohibit users from crafting gold tools and armor, and im not sure if i can (please tell me if u can, and how). But with everything priced, i also began thinking: how am i going to distribute the items and gold???

SHOPS
My server has not only a full fledged economy, it has a small but expanding town with shops. An auction house, a bank, a blacksmith, a food store (better when you can get hurt, and/or have hunger), general store (dubbed "MineMart"), a building supply store, a glass/window store, and multiple farms. And within all of these buildings, a certain area inside town, is owned by the bank, and is available for purchase. You buy the land you wish to build on, and the land you dont want others building on or over. Houses are available to sell or buy, along with shops too (prices are completly up to the owner).

Now maybe im CRAZY, and maybe im reading too far into this whole server deal. But who likes my idea and is maybe interested in joining?

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
but as we get more awesome Minecrafters in our server, our town (which will be named soon) will grow.

Nobody uses the computer but me. Maybe my antivirus deleted it-I had done a quick scan today to delete some faggy virus this morning. Damn...that means every time I scan my computer I would have to start all over in MC...
