i pop on every once and a while and deal with my crops however, i assume a lot of people are like me and just waiting for the 1.6 update so they can start over on the server wipe.

I've stopped coming on because I don't see the point in putting any more time in if we're going to be resetting the map. If we are still doing the reset I would prefer to do it sooner rather than later so I can get on with some building.

I agree. 1.6 could be months away who knows.

[Louisifer]

Horses only spawn in plains biomes generated in the current snapshots so if we do it too soon we will loose out on horses anywhere near spawn.

I hear ya, just going to sucks waiting and playing knowing all will be lost.

Well those that are still semi-active. Let me know what you want to do. I've not even restarted the server in weeks, due to little activity.

This is yalls server, just tell me what you want :p

[thornz0]

Are any features being added with 1.6 that warrant a reset, I mean in terms of biomes and blocks? I don't really care about restarting, now or in several months, but I haven't hardly logged on because I haven't seen others online. Easier just to play on a local world.

[Louisifer]

[Louisifer]

Or have we upgraded yet :p

 Hah :P I upgraded a while ago I set Optifine to limit to 30fps.

 

if I uncap it without mods I've hit 550fps :laugh:

[Lingwo]

Lingwo, what texture pack is this?

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

The Minecraft 1.6 'horses' update is coming next week: http://mcupdate.tumblr.com/post/53355081580/whats-happening-at-mojang

 

Which brings us back to the question asked in https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1155052-neowin-minecraft-server-reset-the-map-yay-or-nay/ : Reset the whole map or leave it as is? 

 

Personally I'm fine with a full reset, building a new spawn (Chasethebase has been building something we could use on the creative world) and going from there. What do the rest of you think?

[Louisifer]

I'm still fine with a full reset too :D

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

Another question is whether we should have both survival and creative again or just survival and creative upon request

Great pics, louisifer's builds look great..

[Chasethebase Veteran]

I don't know whether we should mix the Surv and Creative worlds without some sort of worldprotect plugin. It's still a bit dodgy because if a mod doesn't come online to protect someone's diamond house in time, and someone griefs it, you can't do anything. Better to keep them separate.

Also protection should be available in Survival. These are the plugins which the nerd.nu servers (Reddit's servers)

Those pictures are awesome. Loving the fact one of my signs gots its own picture XD

It is Sphax PureBDcraft 128x128

http://bdcraft.net

 

It supports quite a few mods too

[Louisifer]

I agree with Chase, If we can get a good protection plugin then we could merge them.

 

But.. should there be a restriction on the types of creative builds allowed in survival?

 

Perhaps a nice big area for them to build anything they like and any builds outside of that area would have to fit in with the environment?

 

ruins, abandoned shacks, statues and other buildings would be cool to find out in the wild but giant pixel art would look out of place :o

 

Just throwing ideas out there :rofl:
