The server is finally up again! If you don't know why it went down, it's because we decided to switch hosting providers at the last minute, for reasons explained here.


So what's new about this server?
1. New server IP and map URL, posted above.
2. Automatic chest protection! (see instructions below)
3. Bed-respawning! Now survival is more authentic than ever!
4. You can only have one /home now, but I am currently writing a script that will convert all of our home points (and warp points as well) to be compatible with the new plugins that we have for handling it.
5. Our block-logging plugin is now fully operational, thanks to our new database and now that we've also downloaded a better plugin than what we used to have.
6. Instead of /tpa, use /call to request a teleport to someone
7. Instead of /back, use /return to warp back to where you were before you warped.
8. When using the /tp command, use commas, such as  

/tp x,y,z

9. No more Mumble server! Seriously, no one used it anyway, even if it did come for free with our last server.
10. InterServer2 has finally been demolished! Well, if enough people complain, I guess I could bring it back...


How to Protect Your Chests in Survival:
(1) When you place down a new chest, it will be automatically protected.

(2) Any chests that were already placed before the server change will NOT be protected. To protect them, type in the command  

/cprivate

  into the chat, and then left-click on your chest. For more options, you can type in  

/lwc

  into the chat to get some help on what else you can do with the protection plugin.

(3) You can remove and sign-protections that you may have, because they are now useless.


New Rules
1. All chest and furnace transactions are being logged by our plugins, so anyone caught stealing from unprotected chests will be perma-banned. If you accidentally lock a chest that isn't yours, you can unprotect it with the command  

/cpublic

, which works the same as the one mentioned above.
2. There are a few exploits that allow you to cheat in really minor ways in Survival. We didn't block these exploits because we didn't want to limit your freedom by blocking certain features. So please, if you find any exploits, don't abuse them, or we'll be forced to suspend you. And if it continues to be a problem, we'll have to limit those features afterall.


Also, sorry for taking so long to release the new server. There were a lot of bugs and problems on the backend, as usual when configuring any community-oriented minecraft server. Enjoy!

And remember that if there are server problems, email (livio@interguild) is the most reliable way of contacting me.

What would the status of /cpublic'd chests be under this?

You can most often use common sense when determining if a public chests really is a public chest or if it's supposed to be a private chest.

Here are some clues that could help you determine whether a chest is actually supposed to be public:
(1) If it has valuables in it, then it's probably supposed to be a private chest.
(2) If there's a sign near the chest declaring it as a public chest (or as 'free', or 'junk', then it's probably public.
(3) If there's an old protection sign on it, then that's definitely supposed to be private.
(4) If the chest is in the middle of nowhere, then it might be public? Unless it has valuables in it or something.

If you're not sure about a chest, just post on the forums about it.

But taking from a chest that is supposed to be public is definitely okay.

Yeah I was mostly thinking about 4 and unmarked chests that are outside. Obviously 99% of chests inside are going to be private.

What do you guys think of adding a plugin that will allow you to keep your xp every time you die?

Do you think it'll make the game more fun, or will it make things too easy?

We found a limitation of the bed-respawn system. Every time you change worlds, your bed respawn data is deleted. So for example, if you have a bed in Survival, and then you go through the portal to Different, then come back through the Portal to Survival, the next time you die, you will spawn by the portal, not by your bed. So if you change worlds frequently (like I do) then you have to remember to go to your bed again if you want bed-respawning to work.

Currently, I can't log on to the MC server. Is this happening for anyone else? :/

yes. but that's because i don't own minecraft

Are you using the old IP? (199.188.102.210:25765) If so, switch to: [ip hidden by mods ]. Check to make sure you typed it in correctly.

If that's not the case, check that you're using the most recent version of Minecraft, and the most recent launcher. If Minecraft is outdated, it will have an option to update when it opens. If your launcher is not the most recent version, it is not compatible with newer servers; go to minecraft.net and re-download the launcher. This one should be updated.

If neither of those apply, check your Internet connection, you need it for Multiplayer.

Otherwise, it could be down, an Admin may be meddling about.

It's working now.

Hoppers now work on locked chests, but you may only place a hopper on a locked chest that you could normally access.

Sniper, there was a flag you could set so that hoppers would work on your chests.

That's what I did. Took a while to find out that it existed though.

Is there a way to allow builders to change the time of day? Really annoying working in the dark.

The commands, "/weather clear" or "/weather sun" worked on MC Server 4, try that out. If it doesn't work on the new server, use a potion of night vision; (Found in the creative inventory under the "Potions" category, I believe) there are 3 types; 3 minute, 6 minute, and 8 minute potions. I recommend the 8 minute potion, you have to drink them less often than the other 2 to keep the effect going for extended periods of time. If you want to get rid of it, drink a bucket of milk, (Found in the creative inventory under the category "Miscellaneous", I believe) milk removes all potion effects.

Currently, no. This is on my to-do list. The reason you don't have it anymore is because it can be used as an exploit on survival.

I'm almost certain that Multiverse gives different permissions so you can make the permissions required on survival admin only or something?

Not really related to anything, but holy crap guys:

build it in survival and then I might be impressed :>)

Are you guys still using that horrible signs plugin with all the signs everywhere? I hated that, those signs were ugly

Is that King's Landing?

The /time command lets you change the time on worlds that you are not on. So one could go to creative and change the time on survival. I'm going to fix this by making an alias that only takes a key word or number as an argument.

We now have an economy! Log into the server and head to survival to test it out. There is an admin shop in kro's market that buys and sells some basic materials. You also get bounties for killing monsters! Contact an admin if you would like to set up a personal shop.

As much as this sounds cool, I don't see why you can't just drop trade like normal people

Sat. 11:37pm - Livio Darvince, I don't know if you've been told this yet, but you have Architect powers now

for posterity
just kidding I feel something like this deserves more than PMs and chatbox posts.

You mean the [Protection] plugin?  Nope, not anymore, since we are now using LWC.
