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.

ahhh, it's good to see the cut holes in everything greifers have found my new base..

Guess it's time to check my home...

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.

    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
