Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

I'd like to get your input on doing the following to the server:

1. Add some sort of minimap Rei's etc.
2. Add vein miner (optional functionality if you'd prefer not to use it)
3. Enable keep inventory on death.
4. Enable single person sleep night reset.
5. Disable mobs grief.

#'s 1 and 2 will require forge to be used, Will do some testing on my pc tonight to see if it causes any problems. Let me know if there are any objections.

 

1 Minimap is always useful

2 i dont know what vein miner is so i cant comment

3 keep inventory on death is a little bit overpowered as it gives no incentive not to die

4 could be very useful

5 for Enderman i cannot recomend it enough, but the creeper holes give you an incentive not to have them blow up around you

 

Okay so I'll leave the inventory on death as is, vein miner is a mod that allows for faster mining. Instead of 1 block per hit, it will take say a 3x3x3 block of the same block type (cobble etc) at the same time. It still uses tools and energy up from your character at the same rate, it is only a time saver when mining large areas. It is a per user item, if you don't want to use it you don't have to. It is not forced on your character.

 

+1 on what lilgoth said.

Been getting on fine with just plain vanilla MC though so no rush from me.

 

Just started playing with a floor plan that I found on the net, anyone fancy building this on the server, would be a huge project but should look awesome when done.

That's only about the first tenth of the building.

 

I made a booboo with my guildhall building. I'd just finished it, and I put a lava pit in it.

You can see what happened when your next on the server.
Suffice it to say, I felt like jumping out my window,

 

what window ? i think they all burned down ^_^

that said, OUCH

is anyone else planning to frequent the server ? usually its just myself, Cerberus and Makeitmo on. once my Mrs has a more stable connection she is plannign to be on much more, but we really could do with building a community around this to keep peoples interest fired up

Also began construction on a nether-hub that will give each of us our own portal, so far mine and Makeitmo's bases have portals, i did look through your base but i was unable to find one Cerberus. Eventually id like all the bases to be connected up

Also borrowed some Fire resistance books from Mo, and they proved invaluble as i was blasted off the foundations for the nether hub, and fell 40 blocks into a lava lake, but managed to swim to safety. Eventually i plan for a full suit of Fire Resistance Armour with mending so it can be repaired. but im more than likely going to have to get a villager trade for the mending book as i havent fished many up.

 

My nether portal is down my mineshaft, I didn't want it anywhere near my main stuff as I wasn't sure about them, didn't want something coming out and eating me or my stuff, .


I'd like to try and rebuild the guildhall, but it'll be a while before I can bring myself to go back, , need to do a few other succesfull projects first,

 

... Maybe. I kinda stopped playing Minecraft years ago, but I have a feeling that if I started again it would become another massive timesink.

 

Cerberus your AFK fish farm looks to have been creepered

Also Byron, JOIN US.... we have cookies ( when we craft them up )

 

OMG...

i was working in the nether, building a portal to a village in the desert, placed a block and walked onto it ( holding shift ) only the block i placed didnt place and was a ghost block, after falling through it a dozen times i logged out, and logged back in, fell through the block...into a lava lake

all my gear destroyed due to laggy ghost blocks

Dont suppose there is any chance of admin intervention to get my stuff back ?

seems abit stupid to lose everything because of something that wasnt my fault and i had no control over

 

I'm on also my ID is Kiteninja on MC, is a shame about the town hall I've got a tree farm going now so once I've got a steady supply of sapplings I'll get you some wood to rebuild it.

 

Right, the basic Iron farm is up and running at my new base, as is the first of the guardian farm modules. Drops are a little low currently due to guardians spawning under the platform and around the edges, so its on to sand clearing

Also sorry i missed you Ending Credits, i was afk at the time and Makeitmo is pretty much always AFK fishing atm XD

Also the villager breeder is also under construction at Makeitmo's base

 

Little update, there is now an Iron Farm near spawn and a Slime farm next to it, currently there isnt a collection for the slime, so you have to manually have to go down and empty the chests, but hopefully i can add a third floor, and an item elevator up to where the iron Farm dispenses

Also would anybody object to a move of the spawn co-ords ( to move the spawn chunks ) the original plan was to have the iron farm in the original spawn chunks, but due to the town hall and surrounding buildings ( or rather the doors they contain ) it was messing with the farm. the slime farm will still only run if you are close however, but at least the iron farm will be running 24/7 so items like hoppers / droppers / dispensers etc all become MUCH easier to obtain

 

Got my cathedral built, only a small one. Been doing a little work on the town plaza. Started on a new project too, castle out of my book,, it's over 125 blocks wide on the front wall.

 

Found a dark oak forest over near my big castle site. A couple of big mushrooms too.

Gonna do a bit more exploring over that way tomorrow, see if I can find some jungle trees.

 

Any chance of a server update ? the latest vanilla adds rocket powered Elytra's

if we can ill build a mob spawner to acquire large amounts of gunpowder for fireworks

 

Just let me know when you all are ready for the update and I'll make it happen.

 

I've been looking at getting back into Minecraft.
Can anyone join the server or do I need some kind of initiation and whitelisting?

 

anyone can join afaik

but if you need any help, ask Morris
