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.

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.

You guys have a minecraft server?
Interesting...
I haven't played minecraft in months maybe I should get back into it.

[liz barnes]

Someone keeps cutting trees from my plot. Stop it.

Oh come on! First slimer now this new guy who built behind me! He built outside my border which is fine, but he tore down my trees and dug a huge hole in my cliff. And took some of my torches.

[Andrea P]

I might have to give this server a shot some time. Must dream up creative buildings first, though... maybe something inspired by Telvanni architecture from Morrowind?

Well, you can get giant mushrooms.

[Wayland Neace]

Well, you can get giant mushrooms.

Well yeah, but mycelium is too weak of a material to use for buildings and the "giant" mushrooms are far too small to actually house much.

Other idea: I could make a canton a la Vivec out of sandstone.

[james kite]

Well if you get a fly amatia, you can put planks in the bottom and furnish it, it will be rather minimalistic though.
I remember building a Redoran house in sandstone, it mainly looked like an igloo, but it turned out rather nice, with the classic fireplace in the middle and stuff.

Tell him to stop it, I told him a brief intro of the rules in the last thread, tell him not to remove the toches and what their purpose is.
He might be new to the whole game and doesn't know they stop the bad entities from spawning.

Come to think of it I've yet to through a shroom/dirt fort on this map, I'll do that later, it'll look awesome in the retroNES texturepack

[Theodore Walling]

Good luck making giant mushrooms. They can't seem to be planted outside anymore, and they wouldn't grow with bonemeal in my dome.

[Ridhwan Hemsome]

I think it's a restriction on the biome capabilities with 1.2.4 or 1.2.5... I similarly tried growing a giant jungle tree in our big tundra biome, both open air and under dome (mine is guaranteed tall enough!) and it wouldn't do it - but it would grow fine in the jungle biome. I haven't yet tried the technique in other biomes to see how universal the exclusion is.

(Giant jungle tree = place 2x2 jungle saplings, bonemeal any one of them)

I can't reach the server apparently.

[Betsy Humpledink]

I can't reach the server apparently.

yeah it is dead and I am powerless to help!
Someone with Steam yell to the admins, my form of "steamin" is useless right now

[des lynam]

Back on now

[Stephanie Valentine]

I can't reach the server apparently.

When that happens it's usually because the server goes down, and 8-9/10 it's because of Network issues by server hosts, which is out of Tank and Bone's hands. But it only lasts 2-5 minutes at most.

[loste juliana]

Can I have a lava refill please?
Those corrupted rows around my land somehow changed the lava pool into a normal water pool on y62 and left everything under the would-be-lava as obsidian.

[FITTAS]

I should point out there is a new Technic Dev build out for 1.2.5

[Marta Wolko]

The wait is unbearable. ;-;

Does this mean we can start playing Tekkit again soon?

[Mrs Pooh]

That's only the single player version of the pack. We need all the content mods to have a stable bukkit port before we can start again.

[Mimi BC]

Another note. While forestry has been removed from the Technic for good the mod author has disabled the code which prevented it from working with Technic, meaning you can manually install it in.

Admittedly a fat lot of good that will do us on the server seen as the whole point is to remove that sort of hassle. Which is a shame because I /really/ wanted that Bee keeping for the server.

[Eve(G)]

Haven't played in a while, looking to do some single player. Are there any interest mods I should be looking at? I'm not hugely into building, more the exploration part.
