The Cemetech Minecraft 1.9 Server
« on: March 27, 2016, 12:27:41 pm »
We launched our new 1.9 server. Due to our "Graylisting" policy not everyone who joins will become a contributing member of the 1.9 Server. Currently, our map is 2000 blocks square, or 1000 blocks East, West, South and, North from the server spawn point.

We've decided on a small starting map for a number of reasons but most importantly it promotes community. With this, our members will be more likely to contribute and work together by building their homes and towns near each other. This will benefit players shops and also facilitate the creative inspiration for paths between neighbors since the teleportation to other players is disabled.

One of the cool [re]additions to the Minecraft server is the stats information.As of this post, we've had 56 visitors, with a peak of 15 concurrent, who have broken just shy of half a million blocks, while placing blocks down at less than half that count. The most broken block is stone at 178,000 and the most placed block is dirt at 29,000. The next most broken block is Coal Ore at 22,000.  Additionally, slightly more than 9000 mobs have been killed while our members have lost a fight against mobs 168 times. The most dangerous mob so far is the Skeleton and the mob which has been killed the most is the Creeper. These stats are usually high because we actually had a "soft" launch last weekend where contributing members from 1.8 were able to hop on first and get started. We are now allowing outside users to become active and contributing participants of the server.

The current community on 1.9 is strong, at an average of 5 users online at any given time. We all hope to see you online. Let us know you would like to participate and we'll (hopefully) swiftly let you know whether you're approved or not. Our members capable of promoting new users are: comicIDIOT, tifreak8x and, ElementalVis. If none of those members are online feel free to ping them anyways as they do loiter in IRC and will likely see that they've been mentioned by name -- their IRC nick names are: comic, tifreak and, Elemental.

Server Rules as of this post:
  • No stealing
  • No griefing
  • Consensual PvP
  • No Advertising
  • No Cursing and be polite.
  • No hacks and cheats. No x-ray. These are instantly bannable.
We use a non-farmable currency for our server, Lapis Lazuli Ore. Each Lapis Lazuli Ore is worth 100d which must be sold to the server by the docks at spawn in order to get the credit in your account. We renew this currency through expanding our border periodically and also holding events called "Abba Caving." Where we generate a new map to host the event. It is required that all participants have a diamond Silk Touch pick and unenchanted iron armor. Abba Caving is a Winner Takes All sort of game. Each ore, with the exception of Coal, has a point value. Usually, participants are in a free-for-all but there can be rare occasions where there will be teams. These events last anywhere from 20 to 30 or more minutes, depending on the number of participants. At the end of the time all players must report back to the Embarkation room for their loot to be counted and scored; each player will have a chest to deposit their ore. Lapis Lazuli Ore may also be found in officially sanctioned scavenger hunts.

Once the participants are done and the event concluded, the Abba world will be opened for regular players to mine and explore. They will be able to mine Lapis Lazuli as well. The world will be left as is after each event and regenerated before each new one. Therefore, it is crucial that players take their items back with them to the home world before they log out as well as not set their home point in the Abba world. As the Abba world may be reset without warning and any lost items whether stored in a chest or by death after such a reset will not be "refunded."

Lastly, our rules state only consensual PvP even though PvP is disabled server wide. This is to strictly promote a friendly game, this however is also to allow players to build their own PvP arenas that an admin can later allow PvP in that region; Just because a player may be in an arena does not mean they consent to a PvP match, always ask permission and do not pressure anyone into PvP. In addition, Lapis Lazuli Ore may be given if enough players come together to form a PvP Tournament.

Without further ado, our Minecraft IP is mc.cemetech.net.

If you wish to throw a scavenger hunt, please do. Also, get in touch with comic as he may want to include Lapis Lazuli Ore as a reward.
