Reset the server on 7/6/2020, realized map wasn't generated using Biomes O'Plenty.

Accepting players on a newly created server running FTB-Revelation mod pack.

Is a good server, but being such a heavy load from all the mods that make up this pack, I want to start out by only adding 5 players, then will potentially recruit more, once I see how the server load is with about 5-10 players on it (already have like 5 active players).

Our FTB-Revelation pack runs using Minecraft Java version 1.12.2, also to play on the server you'll need to install the FTB-Revelations modpack using the Twitch App (I'd be more than happy to walk you through that).

Please reply below with the following information, so I can try to get 5 people that best fit our community:

1.) Age

2.) What is your favorite type of minecraft community and do you usually become part of the social community when you join a server?

3.) What do you enjoy doing the most in Minecraft?

4.) How long do you typically play on a server, before you move onto another one, or another game?

5.) Do you use discord? Do you like to talk in voicechat, in discord?

I added better sleep mod That should make things more enjoyable

Just a tip, when trying to spawn passive mobs, make sure you have some leaf blocks (opaque blocks) nearby the grass

The map/server was put up 5 days ago on last Tuesday afternoon.

Welcome to Novemia Skyblock Server! For 7+ years we've hosted a vanilla community-based server, and now we also have a Skyblock server!

The server ip is : NovemiaSkyblock.apexmc.co

Join our discord at : https://discord.gg/xQWPjAX

as of snapshot 20w20b, 2x2 tree growth still doesn't work. I'll put in a temporary recipe for darkoak logs, since at the moment we can't grow them, check the discord for the recipe

Server is now updated to 20w20b, Fixed the Enderdragon datapack so that it now once again drops elytra , updated the mobhead datapack so that piglins, zombified piglins, and hoglins drop their mobheads and other ones work properly after the minor change of 1.16.

Nowdays it is tough getting longterm players on a server, I've been hosting a Minecraft server consistantly for the last 6+ years. Quite often players join build a bit, then like 2-4 weeks later they move onto another game. Is hard to find those longterm players that consistantly stick around, simply because they are already on other servers and sticking to them.

I don't think there are that many players just starting to play minecraft java edition. Yes, there are some, but not that many. Also, when there is a major update is kinda a bad time to recruit players, because alot do join, but just check out the new update, and you end up with a high percentage of players that disappear after 1-2 weeks, which then leaves you with a spawn area cluttered with tons of unfinished builds (ruins), that will never be worked on again. And, a huge whitelist of players that never return.

Myself, I run a longterm server, where we only do map wipes like once a year, and I try to avoid recruiting around major update time. Though on a server that mapwipes often, I guess update time would be a good time to try to build a community. Since, alot more hype & interest around minecraft. And 1.16 is definately one of the best updates in years! I've been running my server on snapshots (after verifying no gamebreaking bugs in current snapshots).

Server is now updated to 20w16a, and did a soft reset (player areas in nether were left alone, only non-built areas were reset) of the nether, we now have the piglin bastions and portal ruins

Server is now updated to 20w14a ! We now have Zoglins and ocelots spawning again (finally!).

Whitelist, PvE, Very Vanilla, Snapshot 20w20b, Survival, semi-RP

IP: Novemia.havocdns.com

Datapacks:

1.) Afkdisplay - If player is AFK, their name will show as gray on player list.

2.) Armorstands - Gives tons of options for armorstands (for example: lets you add arms , pose them, make them invisible)

3.) Enddragon - Respawned enddragons loot : dragon head, dragon egg, and elytra

4.) More Mobheads - All mobs rarely drop their mobhead, very fun to collect them all!

5.) Silktouch Spawners - Spawners can be picked up using a Diamond or Netherite silktouch pickaxe!

6.) Server Sleep - Only 1 online player needs to sleep in a bed to turn night to day.

7.) Universal Dying - can dye using mixed colors of glass, wool, or terracotta (doesn't have to be all plain glass, white wool, or hardened terracotta).

8.) Woodcutter - Stonecutter now gives all the options for wood as it does for stone!

9.) Novemia Custom Recipes - Added a few recipes at player requests. For example: Cook obsidian in a furnace to get glowstones, can craft wool back into string, can craft end portal frames using 8 obsidian with a diamond in the center.

We have a mature community, almost everyone is 25 or older. Once players get established, we'll get together and do what we call Shoptown, where each player builds their own shop and we get a shopping district on the server.

Basic rules:

1.) No griefing or stealing ! We have zero tolerance !

2.) Please don't mess with anyone else's build, unless you have their explicit permission.

3.) Be nice and respectful to others.

4.) Please don't build right next to another player, map is unlimited, and is a longterm map, so please give plenty of room for your neighbors to add on to their build.

We have a nice community of nice people, most often we all chat in discord, we don't care if you swear, just be an adult

Fastest way to get whitelisted is to join our discord channel and then message me there, and I'll get you whitelisted really fast !

Snapshot 20w13a is now on the server, bringing lodestones and striders!

Updated server to 20w12a ! We now have polished basalt & respawn anchors!

We now have a nether portal at spawn, will soon work on building a nice spawn building
