I think we need to put a lock and stop letting one post wonders joining the server. Someone has cleared out my enchantment room, i had an anvil and brewing station as well bookshelves for my enchantment book. Plus they are using my area to put their work bench and furnace in. Now i got a furnace i can't remove. Hopefully you can find out who did this, i'm guessing the owner of the furnace.

I don't mind people destroying walls in my base but clearing out my enchantment room which took me hours to build is a bit pointless.

I learn to live under ground. Only people with X-ray can find me lol

We should get the factions plugin. Then we can easily protect our land. I used it on my servers. Super easy and simple.

I have a small base above ground, however the majority of my actual base is underground (approximately 50 times the size of my above ground portion.)

There is a plugin called swatchdog which keeps a log of all bricks placed and broke. Admins can easily see who broke the blocks, and ban the people. Also lets them roll back all blocks broken and placed by the individual.

Saw a pic of something like that on redit:

The coversation went something like this:

Admin: Hey Gryfor can I see some of your builds?

Gryfor: I don't have any builds.

Admin: So these 3000 blocks I just reverted, they were all greifs?

Gryfor logs off.

(I made up the name by the way)

I agree with muggerfugger, there are plenty of plugins that roll back just a selected area. A plugin like residence would enable users to protect an area up to a certain size too. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/residence/ Loads of large servers use it, its pretty powerful.

I currently have no plans to put a wall around the upper part of my base, however, if i did it would not be as large as i thought, even though there are other projects above my base.

Here is a small representation of the size of my base (not including mine shafts that stretch VERY far.)

The stars represent the farthest parts of my base that are underground. in each direction. I have placed spires on each of those star locations on the maps so people have an idea when my base is under them.

Well if everyone wants something changed, let us know. Can turn creeper damage off if needed. I just remember everyone wanting survival :p

like i said before, just turn off the environmental damage from creepers. that way you still get the survival aspect where they can blow you up but they don't make ugly craters everywhere

also, some better anti-grief plugins would be nice. there have been some good ones listed the last few pages

I only vote for anti-griefing plugins. I like the idea of it logging all block placements and gives you the option to roll them back.

However i still think creeper damage should be on. Creepers are one of the few enemies you don't just run at swinging your sword.

If i knew it wouldn't blow up the area i'm in, i'd just run at it.

hmm, as someone mentioned earlier, would it be possible to make creepers just leave guests alone? that would probably help a little in itself since they can't place blocks :)

I'm pretty sure that peons haven't changed since I was one, I messed about hiding inside creepers as I couldn't do anything at the time. All mobs ignore you and you can't interact with them, any creeper explosion involving a peon was most likely triggered by a 3rd party.

Instead of creeper damage off maybe we can find a plugin that will give us 100% blocks in the event of a creeper explosion.

Would it be possible to get you guys to post some screenshots of some of the best builds on the server (doesn't matter what world)? We're going to do a write up soon, and would be nice to show some of the stuff off.

    • Tor Browser 15.0.15

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tor Browser 15.0.15 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.15 changelog: All Platforms Updated NoScript to 13.6.20.1984 Updated Tor to 0.4.9.9 Bug tor-browser#42436: Allow for multiple configured (front, reflector) domain fronting pairs in Moat module Windows + macOS + Linux Bug tor-browser#44997: Captcha doesn't work in TB desktop Linux Bug tor-browser#44886: Backport tor-browser#44361: Notify Linux i686 users that they won't receive updates anymore Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.

      And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows

      By zikalify · Posted

      VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
