and only now does vanilla minecraft start looking more like something out of buildcraft?

Hey, what version is the server running right now?
Also, could the first post be updated when the server is? It'll make it easier to find the current one than searching through the last few pages.

It's 1.6.4 still

Yeah with those chests I'm going to try and set up an automated minecart hopper run that'll bring my stuff from the mine up into those chests so I can stay down there longer. Gonna need a crapload more iron first.

I wish there were better transport pipes though, the only way to move stuff around is with multiple droppers I think. And I dunno doesn't seem ideal. They're going for a medieval aesthetic and pipes don't fit the bill I guess

I plopped the version in with the rest of the server info.

Necro!

Good news/medium news time.

Good news:
1) Updating to 1.7.5.

2)  Servers are moving from OCN to Vert. This should not effect you besides a new IP address and maybe a little downtime. The server is on the east coast of Canada, not LA. Lower ping for those of you in europe, yay!

Medium news:
1) In order to justify such a lightly used server (it really is), it will become more public. It will be taking the place of the standard "vanilla" server.

2) Due to it's more openness, it will be getting full on griefer protection, as well as moderator support when needed. (Hopefully never)

The world will NOT be wiped unless there is a majority vote to do so. The rules are less strict on Vert, so I do not expect there will be any complications in the swearing department. HLP's usual talk should be fine.

I will expand /home ability to make up for a lack of RuneCraft, I know you guys are spread out a lot.

----------------------------------------

I'll PM Mongoose when the new IP is ready and ask him to update the OP for me, as well as make a post when it's done.

Ooooh.... what do you mean when you say, "It will be taking the place of the standard "vanilla" server" ?

Being a larger server, it has a Bungeecord proxy hub. The hub links to Creative, Factions/PVP, Vanilla, and Minigames.  These are actual servers, not worlds. Vanilla would not mean a JAR straight from mojang, but it does mean minimal to no ability beyond standard minecraft, a typical survival server.

Usual "No griefing, be nice to others" ruleset applies (unlike Factions where it's your job to be an asshat), and I'd allow for a few /homes and /spawn. Obviously all the moderation tools would be in place, including Prism, but it would not be available to the players. Any staff which would have that ability to do more would be required to only use it for moderation purposes, and would get in trouble if using them for normal playing.

Layout of the hub:


The server would be accessible by going to the gate behind you when you spawn, and then to the gate for vanilla. I'll probably add a simple GUI menu (right-click compass, click world) to make it simpler, but it doesn't have it for now.

If you're worried about fenris, it was done using creative mode anyway, and we have a space world on the creative server. Pretty simple math there.

[Sandwich]

Nope, not worried, just curious.

For the record, SkinnedRat's a friend of mine. He might settle somewhere on the server.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Sounds cool. Haven't played any minecraft in a while but I'm sure I'll get back to it.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Everyone who plays minecraft or has it on their computer should stop what they're doing and play the game today (the latest version). And when you do, linger in the menu screen/world create.

This should be permanent.

Spoiler:

Moving the server now. Plugins on the other end have been completed, or enough to run. Should be done by the end of the day, will give an IP when done.

Great to know, Kyad, I'll look forward to see the end result.

IP: VertGaming.com
Port: MC standard (25565)
Version: 1.7.5

How to get to your server:
 - Take the portal behnd you when you spawn.
 - Walk forward to intersection.
 - Take path on right.
 - Enter portal to "Vanilla" server.

The permissions are DIFFERENT. For starters you now have access to at least one /home. I have copied over your Essentials data, so you will join in where you logged out. I suggest setting a home right away. The server will probably require some tweaking. Let me know about any problems.

The server also comes with a Teamspeak, being part of Vert's Game servers;

TS IP: VertGaming.com

Myself and the other admins/mods should be available there almost every day, and we have rooms set aside for Minecraft.

If a mod could copy this info to the OP, that would be great.

[Scourge of Ages]

Rock, I'm gonna so build some stuff.

[Mongoose]

Cool beans.  Got it into the OP too.

Oh, right: is there a dynmap set up for this?  The old IP for it still loads, but just to a blank page.

[TrashMan]

HMmmm...might drop by again.

[Rodo]

Is it open for anyone to enter?
I might drop by and start building a small house with my always present huge farm

[KyadCK]

Yes it is open to everyone. The ban list has been removed as well, and will be integrated with the other servers. Please don't do anything to make me regret that decision. Banned on any one of the servers means a proxy-wide ban that stops you from being able to get on the Hub server at all.

For now, the HLP server ("Vanilla") is the only server open. Creative will be joining it soon, and so will Factions PVP since the factions mod finaly updated.
