Minecraft thread (punching trees)

[TerephthalatBlame the cat's heath.]

We have not yet decided on the hosting company - jamartinezm is looking into technical details of the services - but we plan to get a 20 or 25 slot server.
I decided on funding this server because aside of the Gnintendo thing the old mlpony server was a fantastic place to play Minecraft on and, frankly, I don't think I could find a better minecraft community.

By this I'm assuming that any ponygoons may invite non-ponygoon people they know personally. On the bluehell server I had a friend of mine play and build near me, would that be allowed?

That is the intention - after all I am barely a ponygoon myself. If you know somebody who may enjoy it here and fit in with the community, invite him or her. But don't spam the server link indiscriminately to your 300 friends on Steam.
And thank you for your offer to help with the first payment!

[Westy543]

I'm still mad that you were gonna ask me to help you set up the server and then you ended up not asking me like a big meanie you big meanie.

Oh yes how dare I learn something on my own

I would much like the idea of a ponygoons-only (and friends) server. I dunno how much I'd play though.

[Pocketis she just gonna go booty booty]

You could probably count me in, unless I get too distracted by other things or I forget. Will we have that thing where you can go to a website and look at an isomorphic view of the world, like mlpony had? I don't know how big of a strain that would be on the server.

[reidransom]

I'd certainly join, but yeah, I'm not too sure how much I'd play. 1.3 looks interesting, but I've got other distractions occupying my time these days. I'd kinda like to see a tekkit server, but it looks like that's a minority opinion. Still, I'll probably join up, maybe hook up with someone else's build project rather than do my own, since I won't have much time to commit.

Import the Dr. Ivo Robotnik Memorial Area tia

[CaptDarrionCaptain of the New Lunar Republic]

I'd join up the Ponygoons-only server if it pushes through About time I get back to multiplayer.

[Throbulatorhello.jpg]

Sign me up for this new venture. This time around I think I'll try not to go far away and build shit on my own but rather build shit with other people.
btw how far from spawn can we build giant pony pixel art?

[TerephthalatBlame the cat's heath.]

I'd say about 10 blocks, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see it properly when you spawn.

[PhoolCatKeep on Trottin']

But not too close, or you won't see it past the Giant Statue of Celestia at Spawn



VVV Yes.

[Herr Generalfabulous]

I just want my library and our cloud city back.

[drunkill]

I kinda want to do a big project with people, Canterlot has come up a few times, I reckon it'd be fun but also kinda hard, no real white bricks apart from wool. Still, would be interesting if the right mountainside is found. Hopefully the map will have some nice areas and no error'd chunks like gnintendos

Edit: VVV A possibility but yeah, if people don't want tekkit then thats fine, gotta make do

[PinkemonIts SO limited edition! :'D]

Well, the Tekkit pack seems to have marble. Could there be a way to get the marble but not the rest of the mod? (Since people seemed to have mentioned they don't want any mods.)

[Westy543]

Iron is also white. PONIGUNE MINING CORPORATION

I think clans would be fun but we don't really need them. They're nice for locking chests to cities though.

It just said that yes, we intend to allow stuff from old worlds to be WorldEdited in, and then I asked if you would ever finish your Grand Central Station

[reidransom]

Not only marble, but all the neat blocks that come in the redpower mod. It really does make it into pretty much a completely different game though, so I can dig why some people don't want it.

[weedgoku]

It's a real shame, the blocks and block fractions (half, quarter etc. blocks basically) from the Redpower mod are all so great for decoration/details but it also introduces machines, logic gates and some new ores.

People who are opposed to mods, is it because they change the gameplay too much or is it simply too much of a hassle to bother installing them just to play on the server? If it's the former, then maybe the Twilight Forest mod might be acceptable because it doesn't modify the main world generation, it just adds a new dimension. On the other hand it does have new monsters, bosses, a load of treasure and new crafting recipes that would give old players a greater advantage against new players. Livemap probably wouldn't work for the forest world either. For these reasons I don't think it'd end up being used, but it's nice to keep our options open

[TerephthalatBlame the cat's heath.]

The current plan is to go into Minecraft 1.3 without any actually game-changing mods. Since vanilla 1.3 will probably become a bit boring on the long run too we'll have a (public) discussion about additional mods to help keep the game fresh sooner or later when we are fully settled in the new place.

We definitely aren't going to add something that changes basic game mechanics without a consensus within the community, though. Personally I have doubts that something as elaborate as Tekkit finds favour, but we'll see.

In it, voted-- awww hopefully on this iteration I'll be able to get in early and actually commit to building something memorable.

Wonderful album, Westy, you've convinced me to get that texture pack from the OP you're using there.

[Aurora]

I just want vanilla Minecraft, that's all.

[Yolostar]

People who are opposed to mods, is it because they change the gameplay too much or is it simply too much of a hassle to bother installing them just to play on the server?

I actually enjoy vanilla minecraft's gameplay; I like how (relatively) simple everything is. Mods are okay I guess but I enjoy vanilla more. Now, mods like lockette and clan support are great because they don't effect the gameplay too much, they only enhance the multiplayer experience. The only gameplay changing mods that I would be okay with are combat mods as minecraft's combat system is barebones and not very interesting.

:modesty:

Our Cloud City would totes need to be imported into the ponygoons server by gum.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

Dang, all those pictures make me wish I was there. Maybe I'll get on board with this one, I still haven't played it much.

[Pocketis she just gonna go booty booty]

Clearly what we need to do is create our own mod that just contains the stuff we'd want. Marble, a crafting recipe for liquid rainbow, a lighting engine tweak that lets you build above the cloud layer without throwing the ground below into pitch blackness, a crafting recipe for cupcakes, more dye colors so we can build sculptures of more characters... um, book-fort blocks? ...you know, stuff.

[Yolostar]

book-fort

Welp, I know what I'm doing first thing on the new server.

[PhoolCatKeep on Trottin']

more dye colors

Oh by Celestia's beard THIS! Do you know how much trouble I had colourcoding the TS line??

[Herr Generalfabulous]

My house made it in to the album! I went around last night looking at stuff that people had made, it's kinda sad how much work was put into this server. Couldn't fly though.

(My house is BOOKS)

[Lazy]

Westy gettin' that mad reddit karma.

I'm probably gonna spend more time actually making stuff this time around. All I did last time was dig a hole.

[Momar]

That mob grinder / huge fucking castle was my contribution. All those hours of baking cobblestone, and painstakingly laying out the foundation for the darkroom. If you guys are planning to do MCEdit imports and need a hand with the grind, I'd be glad to help however I can. Maybe set up some sort of facility to help out interested parties. Lower the price of a block that doesn't occur ingame (like sponge), and have players lay one at each corner of a 'box select' they'd like to have saved.

As for what mods I'd like to see: Lockette, shops, no creeper damage, no endermen damage, and death chests. For the love of God, death chests. A finance system is sort of essential to a non-creative server. Having an easy way to get some of the more esoteric blocks (nether blocks, lightstone, etc etc etc) prevents people from fucking up large swaths of natural landscape to get the blocks they want, but still means they have to 'earn' them.

[StuntwomanI want to poop in your butt and pass it back and forth like a subway train.]

Why the fuck would we even consider using lockette? If you don't want people to steal your chests, hide them better.

[Westy543]

We used Essentials on the BHP and mlpony.com servers, both include firespread protection, endermen and creeper protection.

Stuntman, that's a pretty dense and poorly informed statement. Lockette is great for automated doors and a nice first-stop measure against people stealing your shit if someone wants to grief you.

[Lazy]

Yeah, not sure if you're serious but not having locked chests in multiplayer is pretty much objectively the worst thing ever. It's not like we're playing some kind of hardcore survival thing, PvP is off and stuff.

[Momar]

Yeah, lethal traps are pretty much considered a dick move too, and that's the only way I protect my shit.

[reidransom]

Did jamart's full moon plugin ever get fully implemented? I don't remember. I vote for having that. It always sounded fun to me.

[Westy543]

Yes it did @jam's plugin.

The comments on the reddit thread have me in stitches. I love these people.


(I have a greasemonkey script a lot of MLP redditors have that show poni emoticons anywhere)

Wow.. Just big enough to have a nice map with cool creations going, but just small enough so that it doesn't feel like the server is a country. I would have loved to play on here and roll with my fellow Bronies! I don't think you realize how much of your server has references to MLP. The server looked amazing!

That fortress of lunatude is a brony reference... same with that library near the end that had the sign that read "Starswirl the bearded wing".

Wow, so much poni reference, and subtle too.

I sensed what the Tree House library was referencing as soon as I saw it, just from the small bit of the show that I've seen babysitting my cousins' kids.

[PhoolCatKeep on Trottin']

Heh maybe you should show them the Scrubway map and see how subtle they think that is, then

Also, link to that greasemonkey script, please?

[Westy543]

Gah, I should have put a link to the Scrubway in that album along with an image of the opening day...

Also, link to that greasemonkey script, please?

http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/co ... _guide_to/ Here's their main thread on scripts, a couple of them like the alt text one are handy. Specifically, My Reddit Ponies is the one that lets you see pony emoticons anywhere on reddit. I would highly recommend also installing Easy Emotes from the Essentials list.
