Finished my midterms, and to fulfill that promise, I give you this.

Again, I stressed that this server is grief-prone. This building was found somewhere in the desert biome, and was suspected that it was once a lava pool and that someone else made some adjustments to it. I decided to make it the world spawn by using WorldEdit to copy/paste it to spawn. I worry that this building may not last long.

Do people really just try do destroy others' creations on public Minecraft servers?

I think that's how psychology works in MC. You can never avoid it, nor prevent it.

You should be very Worried. lol
Well, the building looks like it being eaten up by evil termites.

Ah, oh well. I'll try fixing it when I have spare time. Plus, adding some plugins (Thanks to Mindcrack Public Server, I learned a lot from there.)

Quick update:

The world is about to be reset. Added some more plugins to help combat the griefers and some economy, so as to give players something to work on.

Again, it's survival 24/7, but everything is all under construction right now.

Updated Info:

1. Added: ProtectionStones, iConomy, ChestShop
2. Realized there's a time limit for all threads. Can't update info in the first post, unless by an admin.
3. Shops are under construction. Everything will gradually be rolling out over the days.

From this moment on, the server now runs under a pretty strong anti-griefing pair of eyes. I don't know strong it is, but if you can join and read some of the FAQs posted near spawn, you'll understand why.

EDIT: Received a report saying the server is a bit slow. Decided to give the server a nice check-up before booting back up.

I could consider joining it, but can we please have a whitelist, as that would really cut down on the amount of griefers.
Also is it a pvp server?

So far, as reported by some 14 different players around the world in my server, they said they haven't met any griefers. Some of them are even making pretty large castles and forts. I have tried encouraging players to grief, but it somehow backfires; No one wants to grief. So, no, there aren't any griefers around.

There's no Pvp. But there is a place where you can pvp, and that's near spawn.

You can also do this to your land, once you've claimed it.
1. Type "/region info" to get your region name. The region name consists of "ps" and then the X, Y, and Z coordinates for the center of your region.
2. Then type "/region flag [Your Region Name] creeper-explosion deny" to turn creeper explosion off.

Hi, I should have done some research first :) I joined the server last night and played there for some time. I realy like the server, and might stay there for some time. I cant see any griefers as well and your money system works very well :) (as far as I have expirienced)

For now it might not need a whitelist (maybe later), but right now I will have to agree with you :)

One more question:
Are there any mods which is not allowed? (I would asume x-ray is not allowed)
I am thinking of minimaps and macros?

By looking at how many players on the server, I don't think having mods may affect the overall gameplay.

I even let others play with flying mod enabled. I'm such a bad OP. :(

Gasp! I'm shocked ;)
BTW:
I heard someone complaining about someone who broke his protected house with a TNT cannon - It is not possible to prevent that from happening?

I'll try to help. If possible, can you note down the player's name?

I'll fix this.

EDIT: Fixed.

Does anyone play there? The last "try" of MC server failed. I barely met 1 guy during day.

Yes, a lot of players play there. I am unsure of when they will be online. It's as if all of their time zones are different form one another.
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
