And here we are again, I'm going to propose a reset of the map for 1.7, but instead of the mods providing Creative at request, we should make it so that it's Survival only (undecided as to whether to enable PvP). As well as this, the mods should build the spawn area before we whitelist anybody, then once it is ready, we allow whitelisting.

I get the feeling this is why the server is dead now, because any incentive to play is gone when they can just ask for any resource. :/

I agree, the spawn exploded with just crazy builds and the folks that wanted survival gave up because it was unfair compared to the creative folks.

I still go on the server now and then to build my area but it is always dead, so it does get boring pretty quickly.

 

I don't mind a reset. I like the sound of pvp too but i think that would need a few more plugins because if you have pvp that'll also encourage griefing i think.

Even if we don't reset, perhaps a clean up at spawn and get rid of the junk builds and half finished ones. I believe with world edit you can revert areas back to when the map was generated.

 

I do agree on making it survival only.

I like the idea of survival only. What is PvP?

 

Player vs Player

 

 

Survival with creeper damage off to builds, because a) it's a pain in the ass to have to rebuild and b) holes all over the map look ugly.

 

Isn't there a plugin that you can set areas that can't be destroyed by creeper damage? that i could go for. Switching it off completely though ruins the only danger in survival.

I have no problem of them exploding and hurting / killing you, I just hate that they destroy everything like a TNT block.

 

I'm not too bothered by it, I'll just build a moat again.

Turning mob greifing off will only stop them destroying blocks, they will still cause damage to players/mobs.

 

It would also stop Endermen stealing blocks as well.

Here's the deal: I'll leave it up to you to vote on whether or not you want a map reset, and which mode the new instance should use. Create a poll if you like. 

 

I'll gladly build the spawn together with the other ops before opening the server to the public. 

 

As for turning mob griefing off - that too should be voted upon.

Any thoughts to making this a more active server by adding alot of those pvp modes?

 

Sky wars, factions, survival games, etc?  Ive been on a few servers that had hundreds of players at one time  (not sure of the neowin server capactity is).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
