This is very true. It's a survival game. I might not give shit, then again, I might.

In single player, it takes me 5 minutes to build a house, and have enough stone tools and torches to mine to layer 12. It's easy.

And, with the fact you can create charcoal now from trees, torches are even easier to make.

Now I can't find my home! ....!
BTW, we should turn this server into a Ultima Online Survival Edition..

The spawn is NOT random. You spawn on coordinate 0,0. It's the same every single time you die. You spawn on 0,0.

Don't make your house far from the spawn (mine is usually within 20 blocks).

But the server will have a house that your spawn in. So if you die at night, or you just join the world during the night, you won't have to run past a shit ton of mobs to get to your house.

Building from the same mine is a great idea. I love building minecart systems and will be glad to make a subway type system so everyone can travel with ease. If you help me with getting the iron needed of course.

So we'll have a community spawn chamber too? Oh we're going to have such a pretty little town.

Hmmm good.. at least is consistent... Thanks!

BTW, I just got lost again, and it's dark.

As soon as it starts, give me obsidian because I'm building a portal to hell.

[vampiregenocide]

Dig down and wait till day sir.

Portals are glitched in multiplayer atm I've heard.

Just can't remember how.

No, and portals are disabled in SMP.

Not glitched. Notch turned portals off.

Not possible to use a portal to get to the Nether in multiplayer.

It is possible to create a Nether world for multiplayer. It's a very simple change in the server.properties folder (change hellworld=false to hellworld=true), but that makes the entire world Nether.

But, a second world as the Nether is possible, with commands to switch between then (/goto nether, /goto world)

But, this sever will not have a Nether world. Even if it WAS easily done, I think I would disable it anyways.

If you need something from the Nether (glowstone), you can just get a hold of me, and I'll think of something you can trade me for it.

But, if I see a house made of nothing but glowstone, I'm going to blow it up



EDIT:

holy shit, I start a lot of sentences with 'but'.

To give you a protip:
Grab around 1½ stack of raw sand and a decent amount of torches, 20 or so.
Go around 5 blocks outside of your house, or just around where your mancave is.
Place a sandblock, jump up on it, and start building a tower!
Every 6th block or so, place a torch on the side of the tower, by crouching and walking towards the edge of the block. The game is programmed to let you stand at the very edge of a block without falling down if you hold down crouch. Then just place the torch at the side. Rinse repeat with placing blocks and torches (place the torches in a spiralling pattern by the way).

When you reach top; jump. Now you are dead, but you can find home EASILY thanks to the "manliest compass in the world", and you will probably not lose a single item!

You can now create charcoal from trees? what!?

We talked about this in the chat, but for everybody else.

Chop a tree down, get logs.

Put logs in inventory, get planks.

Create furnace, put planks in bottom, logs in top. Bam, charcoal.

You just charcoal exactly the same as coal.

And it's wasteful to burn coal in a furnace, in my mind. Just put planks in the bottom. Burns faster than coal, but is much more plentiful.

Not sure if this has been posted, but this is my go-to place for Minecraft info.

Yeah, community servers are fun and all, but things get boring after awhile. Minecraft and chaos are like MW2 and raging, they go hand and hand. Without chaos, Minecraft gets boring. Would you play it if nothing unexpected happened? That doesn't mean that in a FFA sever you can't have Clans or Alliances but you can go around killing everyone if you want and the no restrictions means everything isn't boring and less Communist. Do you like COMMUNism they why want COMMUNity?
/rant

[vampiregenocide]

Thats why we should do special events for prize materials and stuff. Whether it be the first person to find and mine a certain amount of material, or last man standing fights, there could be a prize for the winner.

[Scabrosus]

That has nothing to do with my rant.

[vampiregenocide]

...it has everything to do with it. You want things not to be boring, and have something fresh to keep it interesting. Griefing and shit isn't going to happen (unless its a little mess about between a couple of people) so you have to have something more 'directed'. Community challenges are a good way of balancing fun chaos with planned events, as well as enabling a way for people to get rarer materials for building while keeping things true to the survival nature of the game.


Also, character skins are turned off, anyone know when they come back on?

[Scabrosus]

I understand what you're saying now, and I think that might work but I still don't like communism.

[Prydogga]

Edit: nevermind

[Scabrosus]

I'm joking about the Communism thing, not trolling.

[Chickenhawk]

Next ............ that says Communism gets banned from the server.









EDIT:

Forgot you can't say maternal fornicator.

[Prydogga]

Don't mess with Infinity bitches.

[Scabrosus]

Okay... Can I ask why I can't say that? Not that I would but it's a little weird.

[Scabrosus]

I could show you how the FFA server I go on works if you want to check it out it's mc4.joe.to

I'm just being a dick. I'm an American, and a disabled Army Veteran at that, so it's acceptable for me to be irrational at times

I won't really do it...maybe
