Server Map

You can view a map of the server here.

It takes forever to download the map, render it, then upload it again, so I won't be doing this often. Maybe I'll find a better way of doing it actually on the server someday, I'll let you know (obviously) if I do :)

Server Updates:

• Reserve list is now working properly... and is turned on. If it doesn't work still then something very strange is going on.
• Monsters and animals are now enabled and are spawning everywhere rather than just behind the cafe, be careful at night!
• Creepers have been removed (probably) because CreeperNerf isn't working all the time, I'm trying to figure out whats going on with this.
• Death notifications stopped working and have been disabled, hoping to get this working again soon.
• Dyes are now working.
• The town has been expanded again, over the bridge.
• The currency is now redstone and gold, rather than iron and gold. 64 redstone = 1 gold ingot. This should make things a bit more simple, will (hopefully) make gold a bit less valuable, and will let people sell iron things and actually make "money" off them.

30/01/2011

Server Updates:

• Reserve list is now working properly.
• Monsters are still disabled :(
• Minecraft_Gary and Basjuh1997 have become Citizens.
• Apples being dropped have been fixed so you don't get too many of them.
• There have been a couple of big rollbacks due to people building big things next to the town. Sorry if this affects you, I'll try and spot things sooner next time (hopefully there won't be a next time).
• The public mine has been expanded yet again, and is now 110% more awesome.

Server Updates:

• Server has been full a lot recently. Councillors are now on a reserve list and can join any time.
• Monsters temporarily disabled due to only spawning behind the cafe. Animals were disabled but have been re-enabled. They only spawn behind cafe. I'm working on these issues.
• The first "non-standard height" bits of the town have been constructed.
• Fenris97, CARL_MARKS, chowder7116, seek129 and thomo1888 have become Citizens.
• Ctrl_Alt_Llama was unbanned, donated, and has become a Councillor (probably only for 1 month).
• When you chop down all the logs from a tree, and the leaves pop off, there is now a 0.2% chance you will receive an apple from a destroyed leaf block. There is also a 0.01% that it will drop a mother ******* golden apple.

General Server Information:

• CARL_MARKS has made a really awesome house, well done you =]
• chowder7116 and seek129 have made a crappy not brilliant looking house (guys could you at least throw some logs or stone or windows in the walls please).
• Anina and richyboyl have been very helpful =] 
• We need loads more obsidian for the TNT testing/arena place.
• I want to extend the mine in the other direction, hopefully I'll do it this weekend and would like some help doing it at the time. Don't start it without me.

General Minecraft stuff: 

• Zero Punctuation review of Minecraft, very funny.
• Luistherich has made a nice video of the server!

First day up in a long time.

The server had a good day today, having been down for a week or so, it was nice to see the town again!

We had a couple of new people join, and Lanzuis is now permanently banned.

Server Updates:

• The LeafDropper plugin has been removed as it's not working, and normal leaf decay works anyway.
• Updated CreeperNerf so your items don't get blown up anymore.
• Added GracefulReboot, the server now restarts super quickly every 4 hours with a nice message.
• Added some funny new death notifications.

Server Information

General info:

This is a small UK based server looking for a few people to join and help build up a "town" next to the spawn. Instead of helping with the town, you could build your own house(or even castle) on the edge of the map.

Health is enabled. Monsters are enabled. Day/night is enabled even though everyone dislikes it. Animals are enabled. PVP is currently disabled, but may be turned on if people request it. The server has 10 slots and the map has a reasonably large border. The actual server is based in France but many players throughout Europe and USA have been on with little to no lag.

To join the server, you need to send me a PM on the Minecraft forums or send an email to burntcustard@gmail.com which includes your: age, location, and what you want to do on the server.

When you join the server, please do not build until given somewhere to call your own by a Councillor or burntcustard(myself). This is to try and stop people building random castles etc. next to the town (sorry Moo and aedyn).

Plugins:
- BombBeGone - To stop creeper explosions.
- Essentials - For commands, MOTD etc.
- HeroicDeath - For funny death messages.
- rBorder - To limit the size of the map.
- LWC - So people can't steal stuff out of your chests.
- Permissions - for groups.
- TreeHugger - so leaves pop off and have a chance of dropping apples.

Things that are encouraged:
- Being social.
- Trading items with people. "Official" currency is iron/gold, but if it's a one off it doesn't matter what you trade.
- Giving people free stuff to help them.
- Making "shops" - preferably next to other shops, ask me if you want to run one.
- Using the community mine (pictured above).
- Helping with community projects, like expanding the town.
- Trying to keep the scenery looking un-touched.
- Putting up with me being incredibly bossy.
- Filling peoples houses with chickens (not blocks or lava, you'd get banned for that).
- Going "OMGWTFLOL!" when you see a group of creepers on top of the pub.

Rules:
- You can only build somewhere "approved" by me or an admin. I know this is annoying but I want to keep things organized/pretty!
- Replant trees if you cut a lot down.
- Only take sand from "deserts", not "beaches" that are connected to the sea. If your not sure if it's a beach or desert then find somewhere more obviously a desert. There are a couple of huge deserts far away from the town.
- You [b]cannot[/b] make a mine in your house. Use the community mine or make one near the edge of the map.
- No 1x1 towers, or anything else that looks unrealistic. You may be asked to take something down if it's awful.
- Swearing, racism, and general "nasty" things are allowed unless someone asks you to stop. You will be kicked first time, banned second.
- If you die and someone picks up your stuff, it is their choice if they keep it or give it back to you.
- If you go cave exploring, try to only take ores your really need. If you get really deep, leave a chest with as many goodies as possible in down there, this will make cave exploring more fun for other people - and help make up for the fact you took all the diamonds/gold.
- You can build in caves, but that does not make the whole cave "yours". Please do not block off caves so other people can't find them.
- Don't get lost! If your going away from the town, maybe you should make a compass first (I'll even give you a free piece of redstone!)
- No using TNT without asking if its okay first!
- You must read and follow the rules of the public mine
