Neowin's Official Minecraft Server


Recommended Posts

We're in the process of getting a server together for minecraft, and I need to find out from you the community. What type of server you think we should have. Survival or Creative

Also need to see how much actual interest there is for this so we know how many slots to have.

Thanks

I'd say survival, but only if a mod would be able to get rid of endermen, i hate them.

When I build stuff I want stuff to remain where I placed it ffs...

Worst mob ever, and I thought creepers were annoying haha.

So, if endermen can't be removed, I'll go with creative. :3

if there is a survival server, is there any method of removing hunger? i generally play creative to get away from the hunger bar.

Yepp, another big annoyance.

Meh... Somehow, Minecraft beta was better (pun, ba-dum-tsshh) due to all that. :3

when i ran a little server for me and my friends at home for a little while, I used a bukkit plugin called "Mobs" that gave me complete control over mobs, i made it so endermen wouldn't pick up blocks and creepers wouldn't explode, and i turned off ghasts completely

so yeah, I'd definitely recommend this plugin http://dev.bukkit.or...rver-mods/mobs/ best mob control plugin i've used

edit: and the great thing about this plugin is if you disable a mob completely you can still spawn it in manually with eggs and commands

  • Like 1

use the rule of

/gamerule mobGriefing false

that will disable creepers from blowing up stuff but still damaging you. Not sure if it effects the endermen from moving blocks, wither destroying blocks etc...

K, so far looks to be survival.

Any mod suggestions, would like to keep this low, but of course cause of griefers (this is neowin of course), will need some permission based ones.

bukkit has plenty of plugins to help against griefing so just take your pick :)

and once again, I'd like to suggest tekkit

it'd be nice to have a good tekkit community for once :)

I know it's only me and Brando212 that has suggested Tekkit, but it just adds so much more without making it seem like a totally different game. I think for a tech site it's the obvious way to go. ;)

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
