OK lots of changes with all the updates and pre-release versions floating around...

Game: Minecraft
Server: mc.omnikrys.com (also where you can find old world saves and a map of the current world)
Admin: Steelwind_Oo
Mods: SneezySchoo (Ah-Schoo)

We are currently running 1.9 pre 2 which means a couple things....

1) You need to download and manually update your client to 1.9 pre which can be found here.
2) There is a white-list now. You'll have to contact Sneezy or myself here on the forums to be added if you aren't already a member. Anyone with permissions on previous servers was included in the white-list so odds are if you played on the server in the past you can get back on now.
3) We are running vanilla server. No mods, no plugins, no protections. Any indication you are breaking the rules or other complaints will probably get you banned since we are going on the honor system right now.

Once you are white-listed you can connect to the server using the 1.9 pre client. Feel free to explore and build to your heart's content.

The rules are pretty simple...

1) Do not build, destroy, remove or add things in another players area without permission. Taking things from chests, farming another players land, modifying their structures, etc will not be tolerated.

2) Be respectful of other players and their areas. Don't build a giant penis right next to someone's castle or whatever. Ask around get a feel for the community and your neighbors then start building. Or, alternately, take a journey away from civilization and build whatever you want.

3) No greifing. Players have every right to explore your area, as long as they obey rule #1. Traps, dead falls, and the like are not acceptable. Even if they are unattended. If people die to traps in your area, whether you are there or not at the very least there will be some admin carnage in your area or you will just get banned. Same goes for direct greifing... being a dick, hassling other players, trying to injure them or just basic ass-hattery will get you banned.

4) There really are no restrictions on what you build, we are an adult community. Cussing in chat, building a giant golden penis, choosing an erotic skin, whatever... we don't care as long as you aren't breaking the big 3.

The rules sound a bit dramatic but some people need things spelled out. In short don't be a dick and play nice with others. We've got a great group so far so you should have no trouble fitting in.


Some notes...

1) There are no warps or home commands or any of that since we are running vanilla. Make a bed and sleep in it to change your spawn. Then when you die you will return there. THE BED HAS TO REMAIN THERE. If the bed is gone or inaccessible you will not return there but will bounce to the server spawn point.

2) Nether for fast travel. The nether is an excellent way to get around it is 1/8th the size of the world so you can cover lots of ground quickly. Specially if you use tunnels. We have a network started that you can feel free to tie into. Just ask around about the HTH. A good example is I am 45 minutes away, by boat, from the spawn. That is assuming I hit my mark and don't get lost. A 2 minute rail ride in the nether, on the other hand, covers the same distance.

3) Nether portals and sharing. The way travel is calculated between portals it is not uncommon to land in someone else's portal when you first put yours down. The best way to do this is to have enough materials to make two portals. Make your portal in the world and write down the coords. Enter the nether through your portal then turn around and go back through the portal you arrived at. If you are not back at your portal you need to make a new portal in the nether. Divide the X and Z coords you wrote down by 8 then reenter the nether and make a portal at those coords. That portal will now take you back to your original portal and you will be fine from then on. The Y coord (height) is ignored but the HTH is up around 100 to avoid all the lava and other stuff below. Building or moving your portal up there will make it easier to tie in.

4) Signs, fences, etc are your friends. Label your place, specially if it is well hidden. If your home is a cave in a wooded valley and you don't put up signs don't be surprised if someone has built up in that valley without even knowing you are there.

5) There are old saves and a semi-current map of the current world located at mc.omnikrys.com. The map is huge but is a nice way to get a feel for where everyone is at.

Not to be pessimistic, but I think we've sucked in all the possible candidates from this forum.

I'm going to thank you in this thread too.

Steel put a lot of hard work into this; his time, hardware, bandwidth, etc. I think he deserves a round of applause.

Yeah I know but Mithan suggested a new thread so I figured why not. If nothing else we can get all the stuff related to the new server in here for easier reference.

Speaking of which I need to put the stuff about the map in here too.

I was never able to get the minimap mod to work. Java hates me.

Minimap isn't very good. We're using Minecraft Map.

Edit: I stand corrected the link is here http://www.minecraftam.com/mm.aspx

Yeah I doodled with the other that just uses your local data to generate a minimap and though cool it didn't seem very useful to me.

MM though I love. Seeing the overlay and everyone on it is an awesome thing. Gives real perspective on things.

Oh and the server runs at defaults so it is pretty easy to use...

Download the MM client

Download a current overlay... mc.omnikrys.com/one

Run the client

Point it at the overlay you downloaded

Log into the game and onto the server

Connect to our server (mc.omnikrys.com, default port: 50192)

Calibrate map... current offset is about -1616, -1808
When that is done you should see everyone on the map, and in the right places, in real-time. You will only need to update the overlay and recalibrate when things start to look off and as long as the map doesn't expand too greatly calibration shouldn't be all that hard to eyeball.

Wow going to have to shutdown those test servers. I have three servers archiving and restoring on reboot hence the delay. Forgot I had them all turned on still.

Back up now.

OK feedback on what isn't working and/or what is missing or should be added would be good.

Seems msg/tell somehow didn't get permitted so I will work on that one.
Everyone should be able to do/tp [playername] to teleport to a player. Not sure if it is permitted properly though.
LWC (chest protection) seems to be working but feedback is good.
There is no compass command and the current getpos is about useless. Looking into it.
