Hello people! I have had the pleasure of whitelisting a couple of community members recently and would like to offer my server as an unofficial community minecraft playground.
If you would like to come have a look, you can checkout the servermap here:
http://watchingthenorthstar.de/mapview/
PM me with your minecraft nickname and I will whitelist you on the server.
You can also join the lobby world (add http://watchingthenorthstar.de as a server) and ask someone online to whitelist you, but you have to be lucky. We are only sporadically online.
Don't trust the player stats in your minecraft multiplayer menu, the number of players online always shows 0 right now (which sucks, something about my bungeecord setup is broken... need to fix this urgently).
######################## Server Info ######################################
Right now we are still on MC Version 1.11.2
I will roll out a new version soon...
- Bungeecord setup: We have a lobby server which you will join on entry. Connect to our main server by typing "/server spigot" once you are whitelisted
- Server has 20 slots right now
- Huge train system already in place and easily extendible (if you want to connect your base at some point)
- Server is actually a spigot build
- Lots of plugins to make life easier: worldedit, voxelsniper, worldguard, permissionsEx, craftinomicon, ChatControl Pro, PurpleIRC bridge (we are on irc.esper.net #nexusinfra), MultiVerse, dynmap
######################## Player Ranks and Gameplay ########################
There are two ranks right now. Default players will play survival mode and builders are able to use creative mode and utilize worldedit/voxelsniper and worldguard to protect builds.
In survival mode, mobs are set to easy at the moment. Creeper explosions are disabled
If you are interested in creative mode, ask a mod to change your rank (and don't make us regret it ^^)
######################## Code of conduct ##################################
1. Have fun with each other
2. There is no censorship, but please refrain from flaming, trolling or spamming. If the mods feel you are just there to annoy, bans will be the consequence. Also note that there might be kids playing, so be rational.
3. We do not tolerate discrimination. A joke amongst friends is a joke amongst friends, but open racism, sexism or bullying will result in warnings and ultimately in a ban
4. If you would like to play PVP or stage a siege on someones base, please make sure both parties are consenting and arrange a set of lose rules (where is a PVP area that you can agree on, what may be destroyed and what must be spared, how long will the battle last, is it allowed to rig the other persons base with traps... you'll figure it out)
5. Respect what other people built! If you have an improvement for server structures or someone else's build, ask them before you do anything. When chosing a place where you want to build, have a look at the online maps first to make sure you don't start in someone's back yard.
6. Be rational. Redstone builds are welcome but think about performance if you are planning something bigger. If you are a builder with elevated permissions, try not to blow up the server by importing a huge blueprint (cut it apart in MCedit instead) or copy/pasting like a maniac.
######################## Commands to get you started #######################
"/server" gives info about what servers are online
"/server spigot" or "/server lobby" will connect you to the given server (spigot is our main world)
"/warps" lists all available warppoints
"/warp central_station" will teleport you to the server train station for example
"/setwarp warpname" let's you designate a warppoint (if you are in the Builders group). If you'd like to make a warp to your base, just ask an admin/Builder to do it.
"/mail read" let's you read your server mail
"/mail send playername message" sends a server mail to the given player, message can be longer than what is possible in chat
"/info" give some information on server structure and commands, you may find this interesting
######################## Screenshots #####################################
Will be added soon...
######################## Update log ######################################
- Nov. 19th 2017
Switched from "bungeecord" to it's fork "waterfall" to support forge server connection
fixed server tethering, now you can connect from the lobby to the forge server again!
- Nov 18th 2017
Forge updated to 1.12.2, Twilight Forest installed
Now running Twilight Forest 1.12.2, IndustrialCraft 1.12.2 and OpenComputers 1.12.1
- Nov. 16th 2017
Now running Minecraft 1.12.2 and all plugins, bungeecord etc. have been updated to their
latest versions
######################## Old post ########################################
Anyone interested in playing on a closed server? I have a root server, so modding and fiddling around is not a problem... mainserver is running spigot, in a bungeecord setup. I am trying to run a forge server on the side but noone has been interested to play there so far, so that needs to be looked into for more recent updates and stability if people want to connect with forge. Anyway, we really don't give a damn about gamemodes, so the spigot server is mostly played in survival mode but you are welcome to switch to creative and just build whatever. Everyone on board right now is from Germany, but they're all nice people who are able to speak in english just as well.
The server is configured with 20 slots atm, I can push that a bit further though. Server runs in a largepages setup (meaning on a RAM drive for ultra fast speeds) and we have yet to actually bring it to it's knees performance wise. So yeah, lag free huge MC.
EDIT: To combat further confusion: I am not looking for people who will be permanently online or anything, just people who want to play on occasion, too. I am happy as long as there is more people playing overall! Newbies are very welcome, we are open to new players all the time, bringing in our own friends to learn how to play.
