What is Minecraft?

Minecraft is a creative sandbox game centered around exploration and survival; exploring and gathering resources allows you to protect yourself against a variety of beasties that hunt you down during the night. The creative sandbox elements of the game fuel your want to survive and gather, which in turn allow you to build many wonderful creations. Basic fluid physics also provide interesting means of creating basic machines.
The multiplayer is very similar to the single-player, just with more people and chat, TeamSpeak has also been implemented for both servers.

Sign up for the regular minecraft server by registering at the http://tesfan.mchost.org/.
Tekkit is currenlty not whitelisted, but may soon change to forum registration whitelist.

Email mrtankjump -at- gmail -dot- com ,message 'mrtankjump' on Steam, or simply send a PM to mrtankjump if you have any issues accessing the server.

Colored Titles Explained:

Purple = Admin [Aedra]
Green= Moderator [Mod]
Yellow = Donator [Jarl]
Grey = Default [Citizen]

The cost of the new server is $75 monthly, due by the 6th of each month. Some really awesome people help support the costs each month. You can be awesome too: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=F9AK9VK9NYXD4&lc=US&item_name=TESFan%20Server¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP-DonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG.gif%3aNonHosted
Donators who use the same email address with paypal as is registered with the forum will become 'supporters' as labled on the forums and in game, automatically. Those who don't want to use the same email can simply contact mrtankjump with the details of your transaction and I will make it happen.

Due to an increase in donations, we can consider upgrading memory for another $25 monthly. This would give us 16GB total, and each server would be running on a ramdisk. Bar any network issues, chunk loading should be instant when on ramdisk. Let me know what y'all think, as long as the money can be put up for it each month, and it is something the community wants, I'll make it happen.

Future possibilities, not yet planned: koldunic's volcano hut, DWARFONE (obviously only to a surface point), whoever's building that is at -1900, 640. That's all I can pinpoint on the dynmap.

Please let us know if you (a) would like the subway to NOT head toward your home, or if you ( :cool: want to do the design/building of your own station after tracks have been laid out.

I wouldn't bother building anything to me. Once I get bored of my little flying dwarf base I'll probably activate the self-destruct and nuke it.

Destroyed by the griefers yesterday. Pretty sure I saw Dino destroy the chest.
I find it hard to believe. I sat at spawn watching the PKing, and the chest and my sign both withstood the griefer trio. It was there when I last checked on it, which was around 7:30, two hours after the trio had left.

The chest was destroyed by fire after a lightning strike. One of the griefer was very near the chest and was assaulted by lightning.

At least, that's what I saw. :shocking:

Your chest was the one in front of the bridge on the right side? (Looking from spawn to the village)

Marble Line: Sky/Papa, Ratwar, Justin, Keywork
Stone Line: Spawn, Tank, Lemunde, Turns
Basalt Line: City circuit (passenger) - Also likely to be a separate utilities rail line.

Please let us know if you (a) would like the subway to NOT head toward your home, or if you ( :cool: want to do the design/building of your own station after tracks have been laid out.
Hmm that would be heading towards my canol home and Steak House, I plan on either moving South or doing that place up to look slightly pretty. If that line is already in production and there's no room for a new track I'll stick to that location and build on it there.

MCMMO
And a creeper nerf that'll stop them from destroying the scenery/buildings - unless you think that kinda thing will be a better challenge.

MCMMO is server-only, right?

I don't get the Creeper explosions hate, really. Yes, they can damage the landscape and even lead to hilarious deaths occasionally, but it's not like you can't manage them. Light up the area, make the walls out of Creeper-resistant (Obsidian) or somewhat-resistant (generic stone) materials, and maybe add a few snowmen watchguards and tamed cats and wolves to keep whatever makes it into your living area busy. Yes, it takes a while and needs some good planning, but that's the fun part of the game.

I use http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1017985-16x-125-retrones-texture-pack/ when playing vanilla, or http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1017985-16x-125-retrones-texture-pack/ but it's entirely upto personal choice which is good. Some I've tried have been so smooth/plain looking that if I played for more than 10minutes I'd feel ill.

No it's can be downloaded and used in SSP as well and installed in the same way most mods are.

Yeah I don't mind it too much but when I'm trying to set up my home at the start and I spend as much time filling in holes as I do building the house it's just not worth it. Sure lighting the area up with torches is easy but who wants to live in a house surrounded by acres of torches, it's not the best looking thing, neither is a garden full of golems, cats and snowmen. Even at that when I was last in possession of cats they were so damn useless I killed them, creepers would just wak right up to me regardless and kill everything, not to mention they don't even attack anything and that perpetual "Meoowww" -_-

Sorry I took some obsidian from the subway station's alchemical learner's chest without permission. I took it so I could seal off spawn and contain those griefers but I forgot to put it back. I just went to do so and it seems you replaced it yourself. My apologies for the inconvenience.

I think we should remove spawn block protection so that we can lock in any griefers if mods aren't around. Vigilante justice. Penus for Terpy.

Why not build one of those retracting gates like at the city with a switch outside the building? Trouble comes up, you can lock them in. Or perhaps make it inside the spawn with a special coding to deny [Default] rank the ability to flip said switch? It's all very rough hewn, but I think it's a fairly good idea in theory.

But that's nowhere near as fun as locking down spawn. Actually, we should make spawn a prison complex! :spotted owl:

I'd vote for either a prison boat, or a recreation of Privateer's Hold.

After I called the city's slum district the Prole' Hole, Justin suggested that it should be the name of a local club. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Will do. Shall it be the sort of club with red lamps and sheep?
