A New Frontier

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

The Grand Scheme

This is an introduction to my brainstorming process regarding my future minecraft server and your future minecraft home. I would like any one who is interested after reading this rough plan to offer feedback and suggestions, become a part of this project and assist in its development as much as they can.



I have an underlying goal, to create a world that encourages teamwork and group projects while at the same time granting players who wish to play alone, privacy. Doing all of this with as little mods as possible. You might think, “that just is not possible with a minecraft world, its all lies, like the cake I built in my dirt shack.” Well, I will continue this piece with some major concepts I will use to make this all a reality.

-PvP enabled-

PvP will always be on except during specific events which I will get into later on. Adding this PVP aspect will allow players to to several of the following things.

-Thieve: A player may choose to steal and slay other players but at a cost. Community bounty boards will be up in all major towns, allowing players to post bounties on players or other things (i.e. caves, monsters, items(wish lists)) without the use of mods, this board will simply be a “wall” that players can post protected signs on. Once a player completes another players request, they may reap what ever rewards the quest giver offered. Whether it be gold for there sweet revenge on another or assistance and services. The goal here is to create camaraderie among the players, a griefer is going to grief but if everyone is aware and actively working together.. that griefer is going to hate being slain at every turn. (this does not mean that someone will go unpunished for unacceptable behavior. This server WILL have rules!)

-PVP Events: PVP events will be world events similar to a large “Capture the Flag” This idea is still in the works and needs a lot more time to develop.

-World Events-

World events are, well, world events. Here are some of the rough ideas in which I will implement world events without the use of excessive mods.

Before I get into specific world events id like to inform everyone with how the world will work. There will be set chunk limits (boundaries) to limit how far a player can explore (part reason due to server file size, a way to regulate how large the world file size will be.) but mostly to add some sort of significance to the below world events. Upon successfully completing a world event, more map will be revealed as “Frontier Landscape.” In literal terms, I will increase the chunk limit to expand further, generating more world. With that said, here are some world event ideas id love to see happen.



-Project Mode: During Project mode world events, every single player who wishes to participate will be granted “Creative Mode” to help assist in whatever project we are working on at the time. This will be organized events that encompass a large scale building project. Upon completing the project events, depending on exactly what the building is, world rewards will be granted relevant to the building and “World Story.” Ex. We collectively build a giant cathedral, this cathedral now allows players to access the nether “Hell” leading to an exit portal in a far off land (New frontier for building and playing).



-War events: This one is pretty simple, Given a specific theme players will have to unite together to fight off NPCS (Monsters) or even each other, with a final objective of… DESTROYING ENEMY TERRITORY/BASES!!! Successfully completing these events will result in new unlocked territory, “won” by the victors.



-PVP world Events: more thought still needs to be put into this as to make it fun and mod free. I was leaning towards battlegrounds of sorts, Project events to build new “battlegrounds” “Unlocking” new maps to have full scale PVP wars!


-Forum Requests-
Forum requests will be a system for players to request certain things from the admins and community. Here is a small list of things a player may be able to request.

-A player can put in a request to have an area protected. Preventing there personal projects from being griefed by trolls when they are away.

-A player may request that a project/city be officially recognized as a notable location in our world.

- a player may request bans and punishment for players who they deem unworthy of our server services (i.e. Rule breakers)

-a Player may request events and world events, when a request like this is submitted, a discussion will open up to start organizing a date and RSVP's.

-A player my submit applications for various leadership or moderating roles.

-A player may purchase minor administrating rights

-A player may subscribe monthly or one time purchase the ability to use "Gamemode 1" and other fast track building rights.

The few mods that will be implemented

-World Guard
-World Edit
-Basic Bukkit Admin mods

And i will be using MCedit

NOTE!!!!!
Please keep in mind that i am currently deployed and cannot have a server up for another few months. I actually cant do much work with this right now as i am. That is why i would like to take this time to start brainstorming!

It all sounds good, but i'm sure implementing some of these mods would be harder than it looks. Do they make mods for "world events" and the like? your next hurdle would be server popularity. In order to sucessfully have world events there has to be a large player base to take part. I would first start with filling the server up, then trial the world events once more players are there to offer their opinions.

All in all, it sounds fun and I can't wait to play again.

The goal is 50 slot, i do plan advertising as well though im sure populating the server will be the hardest part in all of this. i wasn't planning on having any mods for world events, heres is a couple examples of how id do a world event with out any mods apart from your run of the mill bukkit.

Project events: Gamemode 1 all participating players, this is already a built in feature to the game that disables upon logging off then back on to the server, preventing players from abusing to much this privilege.

War Events: this one would take some preparation and a bit of seclusion from the server populace but that wont be hard considering the purpous of this event is to clear out new "uncharted" territory. Again, with out any mods apart from basic bukkit, prepare a large area with vacant buildings and mob spawners.

every thing would be discussed in advance and people would yay or nay there participation prior to the event via a forum thread. id probably work it like a world advisory "Forces are approaching (Our world name) they are expected to arrive 1 week from now, will you bare arms and protect our home!???" ( Bam people reply to thread with yes or no, i have a life)

[Nemesis]

Zeppelin Mod?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Zeppelin Mod? Possibly, link me to it or a video. I wouldnt just add it, it would probably be a reward for world progression.

[Patmonster]

I'm a proud supporter of this thread and another attempt at a minecraft server!

We need to keep mods at a minimum. They are fun to a point but they are also a pain in the ass to learn and can lag the server.
So for a new person coming inside a server, we want them to be able to learn quickly how to fit in. Not have to read 2 hours worth of rules and shit to finally be able to place a block down.

I am a HUGE supporter of any type of bounty system, although, I would suggest there be a bounty forum section. That way we could start a forum post with Name, Any Needed Info needed to find said person, such as normal times on and what grids (x,y,z) said player is normally found at. Then another can post a screen shot of that player being killed or something and collect the bounty and the thread can be closed. Having a "Top 5 Bounty Board" in game wouldn't be a bad idea though. This would help attract people to the forums and also keep things simple and clean.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

im thinking that i will be hosting my own server rather then using a host provider. Im currently researching servers and will post what i will end up making for you all to comment on.

Ill also be using an ISP that will grant 50mb/s down 10mb,s up for 100 a month. Any thoughts on this? How many people do you think a dedicated server with 10mbs up can host?

We are running 50 down and 10 up on our private minecraft server. It handles 2 servers with 10 people each AND 6 other people streaming on the network no problem.
So in my opinion, that should be enough speed to start out with. If the server gets popular(20+ on) then we might want to consider other options.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

that actually looks pretty neat.

Though i would have to test with it before implementing.

update: im planning on building a server that can host two MC servers. The actual world server and a test server. With a 50 down 10 up internet service and 16GB of ram, we should be able to handle mods and a decent player base for starting out. I will be looking into 4 slot server M/B's so that if in the future i decide to upgrade it wont hurt my pockets as much.

I have a server that is mod ready if you throw me some links to what you want to test I can start looking into them. I have really nothing better to do with my time as of now. lol.

I couldn't find the right video I wanted but basically what it is is that you can create and kind of vehicle you want then you put a "control block" in it. Which is a special new item made at the workbench. When you place the control block in your creation, it senses the size and what is part of your creation and allows you to move it. Not sure if it was in this video but you can make elevators and lifts. Just imagine a battleship with functional cannons or an aircraft carrier with actual mother fucking fighters.

We are currently running MCMyAdmin. The first downside I see to running MCMyAdmin though is that you need to pay 10 pounds to have over 8 slots in your server. I love the extra options this one has though. We are making a 3rd testing server right now and will be running MC Server Soft on it. I'll post updates asap as well.
What mods were you wanting to install? Just link one or two so we have something to test with.

Ill want an economy system, if you could test different variants of this along with bukkit. Throw in this zeplinn mod for testing as well, it would make an awesome form of long and safe distance travel and even open up some interesting doors for world PVP.

Okay, after screwing around with MC Server Soft, I found it to be a pain in my ass lol.
Pros:
Good GUI
Updated Regularly
Builds right into CraftBukkit

Cons:
Most custom settings do not work as of now. (I will be interested in it in the future though when that works.)
ONLY works with CraftBukkit
No server backup/restore

Now, what I recommend for the time being is McMyAdmin. http://mcmyadmin.com/
It works well with all addon brands, not just CraftBukkit, VERY easy to use because of it's simple GUI. Also you can set backups and restores which I'm sure will help with our griefer problems.
http://www.mcmyadmin.com/Editions.aspx

You can try out and test with the unpaid version no problem, and just pay the 10 pounds when you want more then 8 people in the server.

I'll start poking around for economy mods now. You looking for money exchange or block exchange? Like you have a cash wallet and you can buy and trade? or blocks are the money?

cash system would be nice but i like the idea of players needing to work for there wealth. lets go with cash, buying selling blocks ect.

Are you going to have builders? people to create your world? Or is everyone going to start from scratch?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Are you going to have builders? people to create your world? Or is everyone going to start from scratch?

everyone will start from scratch, including myself. The only people who will have creative mode are players who participate in group project events and for perma creative mode, those who pay $xx amount per month. $xx = 1 month creative mode. Part of the reason all other attempts to start a minecraft failed is because it could not maintain funding.

Edit: also, there will be an application process for becoming moderators/admins.
Admins will have the ability to ban and remove players for misconduct. Due to admins needing a form of evidence to base a ban on, they will be able to teleport, use fly commands, and invisible commands to catch bad guys in the act.

Moderators will be what the admin is plus more. A moderator will be similar to what a clan member here at IBIS is. for minecraft, they will help with server decisions and managment.

These roles still need to be thought out. A source of income is a must so i do not think i will be changing my mind regarding creative mode.


how does $5.99 for creative mode
a total of $7.99 for creative mode + admin abilities.

[Nemesis]

Might work for some people but I know I'm not paying monthly for building mode in minecraft where other servers let you do it for free.

Well I like just building shit. So you want something put up somewhere? I can do that. Let the regular people play the way you intend. But if you want random settlements or shops and what not. hell you could even have quests, collect so many whatevers for a reward, what kind of thing.

the quest thing is not a bad idea, moderators would essentially be builders. I think this can work without much abuse as i found a server logger that logs player commands one themselves and on others. auditing these command lines after hearing complaints will be useful for substantiating evidence regarding ban requests.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Pan, if you seriously are testing out mods, here are a few i feel are essential in making what i plan happen.

im looking for a permissions mod that will allow me to create unique levels of membership to the server
example

Along with a ranking system for the players.

[Patmonster]

The server admin tool we are using MC My Admin has a sorta built in permissions tool. We haven't actually tested it out yet though.

Edit: It's suppose to work with Bukkit lol

is it not working with bukkit?

[Patmonster]

The admin tool works AWESOME with bukkit. You can download and install mods directly from the tool. We just haven't tested permissions yet. Should work though. I will post tonight/tomorrow when I have tested some of those mods + permissions. Got caught up with shit to do today :(

Edit again : if you ever want to see a mod just let us know and we will PM you the ip and put u in the white list

also, do you know of any good programs that let me edit world terrain and create buildings. I get like 10-15 fps while actually playing MC, it blows. If there is like a 3D grid editor that allows me to create buildings hen import them as schematics, that would be awesome!

[mag36]

keeeping up with server and mods and stuff is not as easy as it looks.... you all know i started running a server for a while and RL stuff happens and shit gets to busy (from grandfather dieing to moving so many times and shit)to keep up with So I passed it on to rezel and others it lasted for a while but getting a server to stick and stay active can be alot of work specially for minecraft if you cant dedicate the hours.

But good luck mikey. If you need advice let me know but im not going to try to do all that mess again

[Patmonster]

I don't know of any off the top of my head. If you want to create large buildings and don't have an army of slaves to do so, you can use World Edit. They offer it for single and multiplayer. It's pretty much an easy way to place blocks in different patterns with one click. So you can build huge walls and stuff like that. Normal stuff that would take you hours to do would just take you about 5-10min. We are actually using that in a project we are making in our server atm and that's why I haven't been able to test fully the mods you want.

So that really wouldn't fix your fps problem at all atm, but it could be a very useful tool in the future.

Yes, i am aware that it is perceived as not being easy. Me currently being in an environment where RL shit can happen at any given moment i have learned to progressively plan. Im also aware that the largest contributor to our past servers not working was because they were hosted and a steady income was not maintained. Seeing as how id like my server to benefit me in the long run, i can not give up so easily. Having 1 or two other people who will be allowed access to my hosted server, will greatly help with server maintenance if i am away. i have 30 days of leave when i return home in the summer time, it being summer time im betting on a few dedicated individuals who have some spare time are willing to help.

The only question i have for you at the moment is regarding a Server Build for minecraft. Any hardware suggestions for something dedicated to a 50+ slot server?
for 50 players what should i look for in regards to Down/Up?

[Patmonster]

50 down 10 up will be fine. If you're running addons with people, you need RAM. Lots of it. We are dedicating 2 gigs of ram i think 1333mhz per server and that works GREAT if you don't have mods running. If we stress the server. Like if we place 6000/10000 blocks at once (and yes, we are doing that now) it will fill up that RAM and dump the server's population.
Note that is VERY high stress for a server. But I would dedicate 6-8gigs per server. So get 8x2 or 4x4 1600mhz. That way you have enough for your server + OS + w/e else you want to do on your server.


Edit: the 50 down and 10 up will be more then enough, just remember, any personal downloads(game updates ect) will effect your server. So just schedule them wisly.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Due to my lack of resources in my current situation, i began creating the server spawn point! Literally just started, here are a few pictures of the hour iv put in so far. Im going with quartz as i feel it gives a good "goverment" feel. A Professional look that introduces new players to what seems to be good order and grand structure, thus hopefully encouraging grand things from the player. Not sure if im going to go "roman" themed. Anyways, the first somewhat complete building is a shop. In the starter zone i will have two symmetrical shops, a "spawn" plaza, a bounty board, "hotel" for first couple night beds, a bizzare for players to set up shops for newbies to purchase from and house lots.

[mrhappypenguin]

Looking good so far. keep it up!

[Nemesis]

Mikey, you were talking about adding quests, check out Roosterteeth's Mine craft let's play. they have compititions for everyone. Here's an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yC3Jl77Ywo&list=PL1cXh4tWqmsEQPeLEJ5V3k5knt-X9k043&index=14

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

quests would be awesome! Though i cant watch this video as it takes like 15 hours to load.... explain it?

[Nemesis]

quests would be awesome! Though i cant watch this video as it takes like 15 hours to load.... explain it?

Oh sorry dude I didn't think that you wouldn't be able to watch video's very well.

Anyways what they're do:

They have what they call "The Tower of Pimps" which is their trophey, and whoever wins the weekly quest or game gets to put the tower outside of their house until the next competition.

In this one the Tower has been hidden somewhere on the map and the first person to find it wins. Now they are on the xbox verson so the maps are much smaller than pc, about 1000x1000 only, so we would just use a continent. The real tower is four gold blocks on top of obsidian, but they put up fake towers everywhere; gold wool or only three blocks or whatever.

Players start with nothing and have to make their own tools and food and can kill eachother of they want. It's hilarious how they work together or target the players who get good equipment.


Another one they do is the host builds a tower in the middle and has it armed with diamond weapons and arrows and the players have to kill him and take the tower he has built on the top. But only one player can win, so if they work together to take it they then turn on each other once they get it down. The guy up top is dropping lava and arrows on them as they try to build their way up, its pretty hilarious.

[Steamer]

Now that sounds fun. ^

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

is this all a mod nem? This would be perfect for the world event ideas or pvp events.

no they do it all in vanilla. they sey up the rules on their own and everything and go from there.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

[Nemesis]

It makes it more fun because everyone is on voice chat yelling at each other. as long as you don't have people cheat it's a great way to do things.

[Steamer]

We should make an event of this....

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

We should make an event of this.... that is the plan. To focus a mine craft world around world events like the ones nem shared. I was also thinking about capture the flag, using the new beacons they added to the game.

[Nemesis]

Just for conversation and ideas; another one they do is they all start with nothing, and have to get 16 sheep's wool, one of each colour. the first person to do this wins the tower of pimps. Some of them are easy to do (red or black) and some are very hard(brown). As always you can kill each other and steal stuff before you get back to the staging area.

What's best about it is they're all on teamspeak so the yelling and swearing and scheming is hilarious. It just seems like a ton of fun.

that sounds like a lot of fun for sure. I can only imagine trying to do that while having to worry about people killing you and taking your stuff!

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

sounds like a good openers game!

[Nemesis]

A suggestion:

Have a main city area where every player has their own house. It can be whatever they want it to be as long as it all faces the centre town square. In the centre you have a pantheon style building for all the competitors, which could also serve as a portal to the competitions.

The winners each week could display the statue outside their houses for all to see, and past competition trophies will be kept in the pantheon with the competition and the winner's name on the front. Hell you could even do first, second and third place like the Olympics. four gold blocks for first, three iron blocks for second, and two orange wool blocks for third, or however.

Just an idea for some fun competition, if it's every week, bi-weekly, or monthly.

When players arn't doing this they're free to do whatever the hell they want, and the houses in town are only for display, they want a survival house in the wilderness that's all good too.

It'll still allow people to play and build as they please, but we'll rope off a continent where we build our events, should be hard.

So what exactly are we "testing" with this test server?

Will anything I do here be undone with a server reset or something?

And could we get a list of commands for the plug ins? Like how to protect chests and areas and all that.

p.s. you're still a fag.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

so, is this your server, or just some random one?

Due to not causing a conflict, ill wait for steam to stop being broken and send you a link.
This server is owned by myself and another.

Currently have a working MCMMO mod and an economy mod. You showed up in our logs as having been on so we added you to a recognized group. These groups work kinda like these forums do. There are guests and then there are players who are cleared.

i've been playing for a bit. not bad, mob spawns are a bit over-active, but i like the decreased creeper damage (but i still don't like how much destruction they do to blocks)

should tell people this isn't an ibis-focused server like your previous one(s) were.

yes, thus making it difficult due to the heavy "no recruiting" rules here. i assume part Reason why most have registered to the forums

also, the mobs thing is due to it being set to a higher difficulty

There's nothing in the forum rules about it. Plus IBIS doesn't have a minecraft server so no one is being "stolen" to play somewhere else.

People were talk about guild wars all the time and that's not seen as recruitment since there's no official IBIS competition for it.

This is clearly just another way for people who are friends on this community to game together, anyone who has a problem with that can easily be told to go fuck themselves.

the problem is that its not a minecraft server and forum, its a minecraft server hosted by a community. lol point is, its up and open for you to play.

If you have any questions, please direct yourself to our website for information pertaining to the minecraft server. Things like events, update news, mod info, ect.

[mrhappypenguin]

The server needs some major upgrades. It's so laggy.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

which one?

[mrhappypenguin]

minecraft.dependablethings.com or minecraft.agamingcommunity.com

It doesn't lag all the time, but often the world struggles to render and mobs teleport and are sometimes impossible to hit.

all minecraft servers have been updated to a dual wuad xeon with 16gb of ram. They are located in ATL georgia. Should be 0 lag now.

Did you make sure you were launching the latest version? I got in perfectly fine :o

[kionay]

minecraft.agamingcommunity.com works just fine for me

albeit a little deserted XD

[Steamer]

Last time I tried was December, with both IP's. I'll try again when my HDD arrives.

Minecraft has updated since then. It now requires you to specify the specific version you wish to launch.

Worked for me. I assume it's the right server. Stay off my mountin, cunts.

Can you be more descriptive? Unless its your connection, which i wouldnt doubt, it cant be anything other then resource usage. How many people where in the server at the time? At what time did this "lag" occur? Resource usage appears to be normal... The server is located in ATL, you are in canada... it could be a ping issue.

On vanilla or FTB? It couldnt have been server side as less then 10% of the server resources were being used at that time. So ping/connection issue for sure. Ill be playing more often and will look out for odd shit.

[XX0wnsXY]

sweet..i enjoy the direwolf20 pack.

[Nemesis]

I only know if the vanilla. What's on FTB?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

I only know if the vanilla. What's on FTB?

FTB direwolf20. Its like the holy grail of minecraft. here is a list of all the mods used in FTB Direwolf20 http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Direwolf20_Pack
Some of these mods add 1000+ items and blocks. Everything ranging from jetpacks and generators to magic and spell casting.

edit: rather this is the one currently in use http://ftbwiki.org/Direwolf20_1.6_Pack

edit: i forgot to add, you cant join an FTB server with the normal launcher. You will need to DL the FTB launcher and launch FTB Direwolf20 that way. http://feed-the-beast.com/

If you're there I'm already disappointed.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

nem is the only one i've seen on the vanilla server yet.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

let me know when any of you are on the FTB server. Ill play then, it takes forever to get into the goodies of FTB without at least working together at the start.

[XX0wnsXY]

Im on the Direwolf20 server today..will be here pretty much all day getting a good nestegg going. join me!

[kionay]

not interested in the FTB server but my gf and i have a a little base/mine going on the vanilla one

so apparently there's a witch underground, damn near killed me, got away with half a heart left, then dodged skeletons and a zombie or two outside getting back home

I'm wary of building too big because i know whenever i'm not online it could all be destroyed ;_;

vanilla minecraft as it currently is is still i think a bit too complex anyway, too many features added

there was an elegany simplicity in what minecraft was, at least for me, anyway

FTB Direwolf20 server updated to most recent rec build. Was a very large update which required a world wipe.
-installed Biomes O Plenty for epic landscape and building locations.

So everything's gone?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

So everything's gone?

Yes, the server was wiped to add new biomes and mods. It is much better now and i plan on keeping it this way for some time. If you had something you were proud of, ill part with some building materials to help speed up your recovery. In addition to all the new features, we also changed the config on turtles. They do not require fuel.

That's a plus, although lava was pretty cheap anyways. what about Steve's Carts, do they require fuel still?

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Yes. Steves carts is default atm, however we intend to start advertising the server and will obviously adjust configs according to demand and suggestion.

[XX0wnsXY]

my steve's carts farm has a coal engine for night and a solar engine for day. It converts a portion of the wood it gets into charcoal and keeps itself supplied with charcoal via the advanced smelter and dumps excess into barrels. Works pretty well.
