I accepted the newest update and now I can't play on MP, so I was working on my SP a little. It is an awesome map so far:

If anybody is on the Minecraftaholics MP server, be aware the server will be shutting down. The lack of activity doesn't justify the price out of our pockets.
[Reply]

So, no more multiplayer? Is there a chance players can chip in, making it a private server?
[Reply]

Doesn't sound like it, people can donate on the website but nobody does. Hardly anybody is on there anymore. You can send Hammy a PM on minecraftaholics inquiring about it. Tibs hosts the server and me and Hammy have paid for it so far. I am no longer contributing to the site or server and Hammy isn't either.

I've not been on since you gave me my plot of land honestly...after the version upgrade that left me mismatched, soon after that I never saw it online again?

I've got a personal server running at my house. I'll see if maybe I can get something going (more server mods + setup correctly) to get a CA server available. Right now it's just me and my friend that uses the server. The only issue I see is that occasionally I need to shut it down when I'm playing another game, but that's pretty rare.
[Reply]

That would be cool, keep us posted :-)

I've been swamped with school lately and haven't played much at all. I did just jump on a friends server and built a little house and mine since spring break started.
[Reply]

How much does a server cost? I had a friend who bought one and said it was $14 a month? He didn't keep up with it so we couldn't play on it anymore. Even if we set up a CA server for say, 20 ppl we could easily all chip in.
[Reply]

Did anybody see the forests since the new update? It is insane, huge trees, huge.
[Reply]

I've seen the trees on my friend's server, he planted a few around. Still haven't found an actual jungle in the game where there are a bunch of them.
[Reply]

Oh man you gotta see the one I just started. You wouldn't believe these trees, sizes and quantity.
I will try to take a screen shot.

This doesn't do it justice because I can't set it to the highest distance. I am about 30 blocks high in a tree in this pic.

That's pretty nuts...I almost think I should start a new map on my server and just let everybody have at it. The current map was created circa beta 1.7 I think.

Was trying to get a couple mods working this morning before I left for work, but no go. Will work on it some more tonight.
[Reply]

Just started a new map in creative and found one, pretty cool stuff, even saw a few ocelot running around.
[Reply]

Alrighty, got the server up and running. I need anybody who is interested to PM me with their player name so I can add it to the whitelist and I'll reply back with the server IP (don't want to post it up publicly).

Started a brand new map, spawn point is right next to a great jungle biome and right on the beach, pretty cool. It's a blank slate, and I don't really have any specific care one way or another of where you can/can't to build. I guess if you want a particular area, just stake claim to it with something noticeable (out of place blocks, torches, a foundations, fence...whatever you like).

It is default survival, but I'll gladly turn on creative mode for whoever wants it.

I figure there will probably only be about a half a dozen of us on there, and it's only us and one of my RL friends, so we don't need to worry about griefers or the like.
[Reply]

Very cool Brian, thanks!


SIDE NOTE: If anyone hasn't checked out the technic pack before, it's a pretty well done mod that adds a TON of stuff to the game. complicated machinery, block parts, all kinds of stuff. Worth playing around with :-)

technic is for SSP

tekkit is for SMP

Hey all!

Glad to see a lot of interest in the server. As of now we have:

Myself
Crasmith (my friend)
Emjaysmash
izelforshezel (MJ's brother)
spectrrr
Blak_Smyth
Backwoods357
MurphysLaw_

I'm waiting for Cartograph G to get a working 1.2 version up and I'll post a current map.

To begin with, everybody is in Survivor mode. If you would like to be creative, just let me know and I can change your game mode.

Really no rules to speak of. Just play nice (no worries on that, it's just us!), try not to build too close to each other so everybody has room to expand, and have fun :-)
