Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

Come join the new Minecraft server discussion thread :)

The server seems to have been dead for a few days now. Every time I look to join there is no-one playing. With no admins around its impossible to get Creative mode, and thus continue the work on the amusement park. Maybe it's time to reconsider the ban on command blocks?

 

Anyway, I'm about to go away for nearly 2 weeks so you probably won't see me online for a while.

 

I play entirely in survival - and will continue too. I've just been getting over vertigo, so haven't been on as a result of that. 3D games still make my head spin a bit.

I know it's a poor excuse not having creative, but some builds just aren't practical without it. I'm currently working on a tower that is 250 blocks high, and lined with coloured wool. That's a little over 5000 wool blocks, dyed in 7 different colours. Collecting that much wool is hard enough. Working safely at that height just adds to the problems. ;)

 

Please don't take this as me moaning. I'm not. I'm very grateful for this server being made available to us, and for the admins helping out when they can. If the decision was made that this server was going to be purely Survival from now on I wouldn't have a problem, and I'd still play - I built virtually all my compound in survival after all.

I'm not a fan of heights (I know that's not the same as vertigo), and crafting at the top of tall structures in Minecraft has made me pause and 'get a grip' on more than a few occasions. If I'm in creative (or when I'm playing Tekkit and have a flying ring) it's much less of a problem for me as I know I'm safe.

Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly give you creative mode when I can - it's difficult to do while I'm at work is all. Slap one of the other ops (i.e. Timan, Laura, Chasethebase, Louisifer) if it's urgent. 

I do hit up any admin (usually Louisifer), but recently the server has been completely empty when I check.

 

Right now however it seems to be dead. Can't log in, nor open the online map. :(

 

The map is being sluggish and just threw up an internal error :o

 

I do check the map every couple of hours to check for players but as you've said it has been empty last day or two :(

 

If creative is needed and you have steam you can msg me (Louisifer) and I'll pop on :P

Is there a way for someone to completely destroy my build and its contents?

 

I want to start a fresh somewhere new.

 

I'll be able to do that for you, I'm currently experiencing read timeouts though :(

Hello fellow Minecraftians!

 

Could I get my mates son whitelisted on the server?

 

his name is :- ItsMagma

 

He's a bit new to Minecraft but i've told him the rules of the server and told him if he doesn't obey he will be banned and his dad will clip him around the ear. lol

 

He's harmless, and should be no bother. Just give him a helping hand if I am not around. :)

 

Appreciated.

I'm not on as often as I used to because of work keeping me rather busy. I'll see if I can come on more often soon.

 

Nuculi: I can whitelist your friend as soon as I'm home, i.e. in about 8 hours from now.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
