Gaming Hielor's Minecraft Server

[Wally]

Or Minecraft Overviewer, I used it once and, if I remember correctly, it's just a Google-Maps style, no resources or caves could be spotted with it (well, excepting the borders), thus no cheating if it would be implemented. The bets part is that it has a web interface. Here's an example.

You are not the first to report disappearing minecarts. I think they may be despawning, or something. Minecart thievery wouldn't really make much sense.

I've seen the cart on Woo's track roll up off the track and into the wall many times, maybe that's what happened?

This happens a LOT, but I can usually retrieve them somehow. The curious thing about it is that the intersection was flipped.

I've never even used a cart, so I wouldn't know. I haven't even had a chance to go anywhere other than my place, the commune, the bank and the colosseum.

Heilor, I was working on a path today and I noticed that I couldn't place stone blocks in a certain area in front of my house. When I place the block, it just pops right back in to my inventory. Coordinates are about (138, 65, 224)... any idea what's going on?

(It's worth noting there are other blocks I in the vicinity I can't modify, the most annoying being some pine trees that refuse to be cut down.)

 

[Quick_Nick]

Is it too close to the spawn point?

Your house is right by spawn (the tower isn't right on spawn for the same reason), so your road or whatever is hitting spawn. Build in a different direction.

I've created a tree farm for all:

I will expand the size (to the South) as time allows.

Please be kind and re-plant what you cut down.

P.S. There is a gate to enter the tree farm on the North end, by my front door. Please remember to close the gate behind you both when entering and exiting the farm. Thanks.

Farm is currently full if anyone needs wood. I've also placed a chest against the south wall of my tower which contains a stone ax and a few saplings. Please feel free to take/leave saplings from this chest or use the axe if you need it.

Out of curiosity, is there any chance of installing mods on this server at some point in the future?

 

[jangofett287]

I don't think so. Personaly I'd like to see BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but Helior has already said he doesn't want to install mods requiring client mods.

Those are the exact two mods I had in mind :lol:

I only suggest this to expand capability in game, if people ever get bored.

OH HAI!

I wasn't aware that building near the spawn point was disallowed. Thanks for the note!

Quick question for Hielor,

What software do you use to run the server? I am looking to set up one for some people not related to this site.

I use CraftBukkit on Windows Home Server 2011.

I can install mods that people request (as an example, I installed the one allowing you to feed sheep to get their wool back), but as already mentioned I'd like to avoid mods that require client-side mods as well.

Industrial / BuildCraft won't work on Bukkit anyway (I've tried this repeatedly with my own server).

By the by, Essentials for Bukkit comes with a lot of nice features (including permissions and message / PM systems).

These are the mods currently running on my own server; I can attest that all of these play quite happily with each other under Bukkit's latest RB.

 

[n122vu]

Hielor - Just out of curiosity, what kind of hardware are you running the server on now?

Xyon - what kind of hardware is yours running on?

 

[Hielor]

Hielor - Just out of curiosity, what kind of hardware are you running the server on now?

It's currently an AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.00GHz with 8GB RAM and a low-profile Radeon HD 5450.

 

[Xyon]

My server hardware at present is 4GB DDR3 with an AMD Athlon II X2 CPU, running Debian 6 / Squeeze in low-profile mode to keep the power largely unused. Minecraft runs with a dedicated 2GB and its world is loaded to a RAMdisk for faster processing. Also, all the plugins which can do utilise MySQL for faster response times without having to wait for I/O from the RAID.

It's using a significantly tweaked version of Bukkit's init script to keep it up and make all that happen properly (wasn't happy with its existing ramdisk or screen stuff, so I changed it).

Hardware itself is important, but far more so is how its harnessed to provide services.

Edit: My server's weak point, however, is its connection to the outside world. BT residential broadband just doesn't cut it for large operations; after so many connections, things slow down a lot. Last I checked my upstream was around 750Kbps. :dry:

That Chicken has been there for days.

My Map.

Sorry to the builder of the chicken farm near the world spawn, an enderman snuck up behind me and blow a hole in the fence, a mass escape occurred, i plugged the hole as quickly as possible but a lot of them escaped.
