I don't seem to be able to connect to the server. I get to where it says 'Encrypting...' and then eventually get a 'Failed to connect to server. Timed out'. Is anyone else experiencing issues connecting?

It seems like it crashed while saving when slugsie logged off, its back up now, we'll find out later if Slugsie still has his character or not. :D

Oh sh*t, oh sh*t oh sh*t. 😛

While i was on a sync'd up some new nether portals for homes that i could find and had a portal, now you wont arrive at Steves base every time. :D I did Spawn, Nuculi, Jessica and mine. I added tunnels between them made it a little bit more open so you aren't just greeted with a wall.

 

I couldn't find your portal Slugsie but I'm assuming you are far enough out that yours would spawn right anyway.

My character is fine. 😄

 

While I am a fair way out, my portal didn't originally link back correctly. But when the Nether was reset I think I was one of the first ones on and as a result it does link properly now.

Looks like the server has crapped out again.

 

It's been very unstable lately. I've been 'Timed Out' a lot more than normal.

I'll update the paper build again tonight to see if that improves stability.

 

it's probably a combination of things at fault since it's new major version of Minecraft. could be one of the plugins that haven't updated yet too; I'll see what the error log says if it's still up.

Yeah server has been unstable for about a week, being kicked, stuck on encrypting while loading. as for the clear dropped items, i thoguht if you died you kept your items on you, well i do, so can we have it back on please, its easier than making a trash can for unwanted items, i just chuck them in the water or ground if I don't want them :)

Please, no, the clear dropped items is just annoying. Dropped stuff gets cleared after a few minutes if the chunk is loaded anyway, and if the chunk isn't loaded there is no performance issue. Plus it's warning messages are just spam in the chat log.

 

If you really don't want something it's super easy to just drop it and leave it. Or have a lava pit.

I still can't seem to get on the server, was it kicked, or does it need another kick?

sorry, I didn't get out of work until late yesterday so completely forgot to give it a kick.

 

I'll grab it tonight or @Louisifer if you want to give it a kick sooner do me a favor and save the logs to the desktop and I'll look over them and update everything tonight 🙂

I saved it to desktop, theres logs for every other day in the logs folder, most of the recent ones are it complaining that the server is 0/10/20 seconds behind and creating thread dumps or complaining about dirt blocks :iiam:

 

I couldn't see any specific reason reason for it to freeze so maybe this is just one of the bad builds. Server is back up now

maybe our world is just getting too big for the server to handle with how much RAM it has. I'm also not sure if maybe 1.16.x is just more resource intensive than previous versions.

For how many are usually on at a time the ram is fine, its handled 10 players at a time before, its main area it falls behind on is cpu power, after people calm down with exploring the cpu issue mostly goes away. Vanilla servers work perfectly fine and can be left running for months without maintenance. its the modded servers and their plugins that add extra taxation to the system

yeah the XENON CPUs are nice but it looks like this sever may have quite the older model.

Plugins don't take nearly as much extra resources that mods do but there is still some extra headway that's true; especially one like worldedit due to its versatility.

I was thinking more about how the modded servers add extra code into everything to allow for plugins to integrate, one day i'll have to check out all the new data packs now they have had long enough to mature and see how much plugin stuff can be handled by vanilla. that'll be the dream, no waiting on 3rd party servers, just drop and go on release days \o/

wish Minecraft just had native mod/plugin support. Mojang has been promising for years but just hasn't happened.

 

the little things like sending teleport requests and being able to goto day without everyone on the server having to sleep just make sense to have for a social server. then there's convenience plugins such as timber and auto crop harvesting on right click that are just nice to have 🙂

Thats what the data packs are, replacing the current system of either jamming your code into the server/client jar or needing a modded server like forge/bukkit/paper/etc. They allow you to write scripts for the server and have assets(textures/full replacement with a 3d model) that can be distributed to the clients.

 

If you've ever seen servers like nopixel with their custom mario kart gamemodes do stuff without modding the client.. thats how its done. its just a big can of worms that none of us have really wanted to tackle yet :D most we've done was the mobs drop heads data pack a few years ago

oh neat; didn't know about that. always thought those were bukkit servers with custom non-published plugins.

Heh, I didn't realise that was a mod, but I have been wondering why I've not gotten any heads for such a long time. 😉

 

Anyway, thanks for kicking the server.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
