now that SLI is back up and running on my computer (Windows 8.1 update could not recognize my second graphics card so i had to wait for a vBIOS update.) I will see how well MC runs now lol.

A few notes about the server:

 

I'm hoping there won't be a need for a reset again anytime soon. 1.7 kind of necessitated it with the terrain generation and biome changes.

 

If anything we'll add Bukkit and a handful of plug-ins once they're compatible with 1.7. Other than that the server is going to remain mostly vanilla, survival only. 

 

Keep on building and make it a truly epic Minecraft world! :)

Just curious, but could the first post be updated to show what is currently set up on the server?   It doesn't seem to reflect what is there much at all (not that I know much about switching game modes or such). But is there a survival and a creative world?

The First post is very outdated now, we have reset twice since it was written. (due to new biomes) We used to have Survival & Creative but it required more plugins and slower to upgrade to new MC versions, We now have just one world that is survival only :)

Chasethebase was in favour of splitting the thread, if we go with that I think not from when 1.7 was released, instead after my little accident. :shiftyninja:

 

Maybe for now just update server version from 1.4.7 to 1.7.1 and strike through any lines referring to creative :)

 

oh and remove the port number from the live map url! (It's not up atm but when it is, it was changed to just mc.neowin.net a long time ago)

Crisp had a good idea on the server: Post a brief article about the MC server on the front page to attract new players. Ideally with screenshots showing off what has been built already. Thoughts?

timan was going to do that ages ago i think. I provided pictures for it.

Nothing ever happened though.

 

I think it is a good idea, although i think you'll see a lot more one post wonders asking to be white listed.

We're still going to be careful who can come on and who not. 

 

At the moment there are 40 whitelisted players, 33 of which have been on the server. Not too bad a player base for a start I reckon. Also there are usually some players on now, unlike before the reset...

I am still surprised we have not decided to use a web portal to handle the Whitelist requests as well as to display some information about the server itself.

Last night I collected enough eyes of ender from people to activate the End Portal, I have made a short pathway onto the land and a long path away from the island ready for the ender farm.

 

Some people are ready to fight the dragon now, but it should be an event for as many as possible to attend.

 

 

So when do we want to fight it?

 

I propose either later tonight or tomorrow night and on Hard :D

    • 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.
