Minecraft

[Morphza]

So... who's keen on jamming some Minecraft??

I think I've now got the basics down, but getting bored playing in a lonely world :)

Brad... you got that server up and running? :)

[Cold_razer]

legit minecraft?

[Morphza]

Well yes... as Gamers we have to support the Devs (not EA) .. If anyone asks, we never pirate... we are perfect citizens!!

[I didn't know there was a non-legit version]

[janpan]

I am willing to host a legit server 24/7 or on certain days for grrr only members. I can also look into a daily backup solution. I am also still actively playing another world with some non grrr friends for the past 4 years. I suggest we play a vanilla survival mode.

If anyone is interested, please let me know. I think if we have at least 3 guys playing it could be fun.

[Morphza]

Sign me up! :)

Maybe get your friends onto the new server? start fresh and expand the group?

[Cold_razer]

If you guys get a server running i will join you guys for sure
:D

[Ecko7]

Lets do it :thumbsup:

[janpan]

Ok, balls in my court :p

EDIT: Server is up. Installing ubuntu. Will post the details when everything is up and running as I still need to setup the server and have a backup for the map files.

Server details:
==============================

154.0.165.65
music: http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/RPG/91897136

For now, server will be vanilla minecraft 1.8.3, survival, large biomes, default difficulty and pvp on.

I have some temporary rules and would like to open the discussion if anyone wants to add anything.

Here are the rules:
==============================

1. Don't break anything that isnt yours.
2. Don't steal.
3. Dont kill. (unless pvp)

Some tips for newbs :-)
==============================

1. Never dig straight down.
2. Never dig straight up. (gravel is a bitch)
3. Always carry a bucket of water when exploring.
4. Always carry food.
5. It's minecraft, have fun.

[Morphza]

1. Never dig straight down.

Yea... that doesn't seem to be a problem to a newbie when you first start out, until your first cave dive... or first lava splash :P

Blasphemy!!! :)

Bringing gaming back to its basics... do what you want, how you want, when you want (The only thing you gotta do is eat and avoid the monsters)

Any new news janpan?

Yes, I am busy configuring the server.properties. Will launch within the hour. Just also busy with backup script and startup launch scripts.

almost done :p

Going through the server properties, I saw something... I was under the impression that the world is never ending, however, there is a limit. Although the map does generate as you move into unexplored terrain for the first time, there is a limit of 29999984 blocks radius, meaning that from the initial spawn point, there is 29999984 of blocks to conquer in all directions.


That is 29999984 block. 1 x block = 1m. Thus 29999984 blocks = 29999984m radius. Thus 29999984 = 29999.984 km. Earth's radius is 6,371 km... I guess that's fair, but it would have been nice if it was never ending.

I'm just testing it from work... have to perform an http tunnel to get past the university firewall. just need to make sure everything works before I post the ip :)

[Morphza]

Thought that was a Grrr rule... if you playing, be on TS
(I know that Paul does not come on to TS now and then, but that is to shield us from his rage quits)

Also would be nice if we could get a channel in TS changed to "Minecraft" SlipperyDuck

[janpan]

Ok, server is up and running. Please let me know if you experience any issues. there are daily backups (we'll see tomorrow I guess :p) and it will be running 24/7 unless we want it differently.

Let me know if there are any issues. I will be on tonight at about 20h00 on teamspeak and minecraft. I just need to watch Game of thrones first... (priorities)

Let me know if the resource pack is a problem then I will take it down from the server properties. I have to drive home now. Will be back in about an hour +-.

no problem here , just the seed is a water biome so we cant do mush

[janpan]

I did set the server to large biomes... So the spawn point is probably in the middle of a water biome as you mentioned. We could try and find the next biome by exploring and then move on from there. Water biomes are usually difficult to find on large biomes in my experience and can be great for farming and building bases ... Ill be on at 20h00 and if we decide its not going to work then Ill create a new seed...

Lol, oops.

[janpan]

Is anyone still playing ? :) Sorry I was a bit gone for the past week. Having a bit of a rough time at work, but should be back next week. The server is still running as it should, let me know if you have any issues.

[Morphza]

I am.... but the others have all faded away into the Void...

If anyone does log on... go have a look at the ranch :) {just head to the mine and follow the path to the right}

[Cold_razer]

I think that we must install some add-ons/plugins on the server
Like
Block Hunt Plugin
etc.

OR

We must install like add-ons that will bring in other blocks like machinery

[Stu]

I'm exploring the option of Minecraft and will need some grrrbians to upskill me want to show my young one think it is creativley suitable!

[Morphza]

Grab it and hop on... We can show you what we know.

Well, I can show you the very basics, the rest can show you the advanced stuff

[janpan]

Guys, I have cancelled my cloud hosting service with afrihost, bit expensive compared to my aws instances. Any case, here is the backups to date, so feel free to download the region files and use it in a new server :
