We have added a Creative server, every player can own two plots of 125 blocks by 125 blocks to build anything you desire on, the new Creative server can be accessed by typing:

/server creative

Once you arrive on the Creative server, you will see the world is mapped into plots, you will first need to claim your own plot, you can fly around until you find and empty one, and then type /plotme claim or if you want to be automatically assigned the next free available plot on the Creative server just type /plotme auto

If you need to return to you plot at anytime just type /plotme home, this returns you to your home plot.

All players can teleport to any other players plot, just tpye /plotme home playername, where playername is the name exactly of the players plot you wish to visit.

Many other commands exist, just type /plotme help to see them and /plotme help 2 and so on for each page of commands and how to use them.

Currently all players on the Creative server have limited WorldEdit commands, you can only edit your own plots, or plots you have been given permission by the owner to build on, we will eventually expand the commands offered to include more powerful editing commands.

I have added a fast way to teleport between all our different servers for players, the command is:

/server

This command will list the available servers you as a player can access, currently this is the PvP server and the Survival server.

Typing the below into chat when on the Survival server:

/server pvp

Teleports you to the PvP server, then if you type:

/server survival

You will be teleported back to the Survival server.

Remember all our servers are still totally seperate servers, this is just a quick way to jump between them without having to log out and back in to a different address.

With the addition of this feature in the future will allow us to run other server types that can be accessed from any other server we are running.

Posts Interface

Hover over anywhere on a post and the ratings bar will subtly fade into view (always visible on mobile devices) helping to reduce UI clutter, you can then rate the post with one of many options.



The post ratings list becomes more concise by hiding and removing the rating names when a large variety of ratings have been applied to a post.



'List' links to an overlay displaying who has rated the post, just click to view.



Enjoy rating other users posts!

Hey guys! I have some nice news for those of you who like to have new things to play around with on the forums

We have some new bbcode for you to use:

First, we have Spoilers
They hide text behind a button so that you have to click it to reveal whats underneath.
Great for hiding long paragraphs or for answers to a quiz.
Use:


Second, we have tables
They organize information into an easily readible format. I'm currently tweaking color schemes, but expect things not to change drastically.
Use:


Note that you must use =left, =center, =right, or any other valid term for the table property: align="X"
Please note that there are several choices for each sub-code.
tr = transparent
tr1 = odd numbered
tr2 = even numbered
th = header
td = left-aligned cell
td1 = centered cell
td2 = right-aligned cell

We hope you enjoy these new treats!

Note: You must be a donator or an elder (90 days + 30 posts) in order to use these two tags.

Well our 1.3.1 Minecraft server is up and running and with it comes several new changes that all good players would want to be made aware of...

NEW MAP

We have brought in a new map for several reasons. One, the large biomes rock, and two we can have a more integrated map with jungles being close to spawn and high mountains and emeralds being more evenly distributed. Also - if you read below - there are some rule changes that will just work better with a new map. The Old map? Saved and should make an appearance as a linked world you can visit, but it will be read-only. You won't be able to build. We however may work out a way to transfer buildings from the old map later to the new map...

NEW YOU

Your money has been reset. No tools or inventory will be brought to the new world. Existing ranks remain and carry over, so if you were a Traveller, you will be a Traveller in the new world. Also as ever the Donator abilities carry over to the new world if you have supported the server in the past. If you were banned (and not one of the select super idiots who will never be pardoned) you even get a pardon to come back and try playing again in the new world.

RANKS

You will be pleased to hear if you were a Donor on the last map, you will be a donor here. However Donor is now a rank modifier and not a rank in its own right, however this allows you to become for example a Hunter with your Donor abilites.

Elder is also a rank modifier and has the same abilites as the last map, you can still breathe underwater with a golden helmet, create colored signs and use the /depth command, however now you can be any other rank if you choose to with the Elder abilites, so you can be an Elder Trader. All existing Elders will now be the Settlers rank, but have...

Personal Log. First and last entry. I never expected myself to be able to hold out this long. With the pacemaker destroyed, my heart could pop at any given time. At least this will give me the chance to do one last thing before I go. Explain everything...
Today it is 5/1/1 After Fusion (AF). We started a new count. It felt appropriate. After all that happened, keeping date was the least of our worries. But where to begin? I would say with what caused all this. The Black-Fusion Reactor.

The Black-Fusion Reactor (BFR). The greatest promise for all of us. Eternal and clean energy for all. We could have thrived. However, there was just one obstacle. Human nature. I would love to explain how the BFR came to place, but unless you are a physicist like I am, you would not be interested. Just skip the part designated by a "###".

###

The BFR used a new theory found by a small time scientist by accident. The Pluro-Atomic Dimensional Assimilation Theory, or PADAT for short. Brilliant theory. It stated that, since any object that went faster than light could travel between dimensions (The failed time-travel of 2043) then light is the same in all dimensions, and holds them all together. He was right. By changing light itself to such a fundamental degree that it wasn't light anymore, would force the equivalent light from other dimensions to give away part of their energy to restore the light here to their original power. In other words, you were siphoning power from other dimensions.

Don't start to think that this is evil and that you are taking away from other dimensions. This was the main reason Black-Fusion wasn't followed, until the Dimension Rift Current Theory by another Scientists, 3 years later. He discovered that the transfer of energy happens all the time, especially in places with sentient beings. For every possible outcome of a situation, there is a dimension. If this is the case, wouldn't a...
