I noticed when I came home today that the MC-box had stalled somewhere between a sleep and wake state. I don't know why, but I blame Microsoft.

The box has been restarted, and the server is running again. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Server will be going down tomorrow evening as I pack it away for the move. It will return Monday.

Allegedly.

I recognize that I haven't booted up the server yet. I haven't yet set it up; internet people dropped it into a stupid location in our basement, our laundry room, though it honestly can't be run anywhere else without either tearing out some walls (thanks, crappy remodelers) or running a line to where we don't want it anyway. The server-box doesn't have wireless, and I don't feel like hosting over wireless anyway. Therefor, I am waiting to set up the system until I get an adapter to run ethernet over the power cables to where I plan to set up the box. I intend to have it up and running by December.

Thanks for your patience, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Just a note that the Server has been set up and is working at its new home. I have sent out a PM to everyone on the whitelist verifying the server address information; before you log into the server, just verify that the information you have input in the game is correct and current, and make changes as needed.

On that note, I have cleaned the whitelist of those who are no longer members of the Eternity community, namely Stratcom and ConCentral.

What's coming on the horizon?
Well, for one, I'll be implementing two creative maps for people to do some free building, one that's a generic superflat build map for building schematics that can be imported into the survival world via Builder NPCs (or maybe just for fun), and another that'll have a special custom-built terrain for making fun builds on a terrain that looks good.

Before the creative maps are added, though, I'll finally be making the temporary spawn hub usable and accessible to everyone. This hub is where players will be able to go to access various other maps with other game modes, and will also be the central in-game administration offices for server mods and admins. This will have relevance that I will discuss later.

Server Hub and Creative Worlds are here!


As always, everything is very much still a very slow "work in progress" as I think of ways to improve stuff. Anyway...

The server hub world has actually been here for a while, though getting there was a rather jank and temporary setup, not to mention it was petty much completely useless. Now though, thanks to the power of portals and some work on my part, you can freely move between different worlds via the server hub, which you can access from the overworld via a shiny new and half-assed portal that has mysteriously appeared next to the Spawn Hut. Mysterious!

That thing. That thing I'm pointing to. That's the portal. Just step through it and BAM! you're gone.


But the server hub isn't the only cool new thing, it's actually the least of it. Well, maybe...it's still pretty cool, but it's not why I'm here! There's portals in the server hub now, and they go places. That's the exciting bit!

Creative worlds, right this way.


The even cooler part is that you can create these kinds of portals yourself, of just about any size, for your own use in-game when I eventually change the /home command to have only one home per person. Just follow the directions from this page and you're on your way to your very own portal networks!

As I stated before, though, I intended to form two different creative worlds, for two different kinds of builds. One would be a regular superflat world for general building, where you could freely test concepts or create items to submit for schematic approval (and thus use in the overworld via Builder NPCs); the other world would be a custom terrain, in case you just want to build for fun without having to hunt for materials. When you visit either of these realms, you will be given a completely separate inventory from your survival one, and your game mode will automagically be set to creative.

I know, I'm pretty great! Just remember, to fly in creative, double-tap your jump key. Have fun out there!

Portals and Spawns within both worlds, that will lead you back to the Hub. Lycrea (custom terrain) on the top, & Flatland (superflat terrain) on the bottom.


What else is on the horizon?

Well, first I want to finish installing some wayshrines/portals on Lycrea to make it muuuuuch easier to return home when/if you travel to the edge of the landmass, instead of having to manually find your way home; I'd also intended to clean the map a bit so it wasn't so obvious that the new map was just copy/pasted into a generated terrain, but...nah. I do still need to protect all the spawns and portals with regions so someone doesn't "accidentally" break them. Just...be careful in the meantime, because breaking the portals will most likely leave you stranded in those worlds until I fix them again.

Also, if you're flying in creative and you get booted from the server, let me know. Hopefully it shouldn't happen, but I don't know how the anti-cheat protection my interpret that.

I don't want to spend too long on any of that, though. My next priority is to fully implement and test uSkyblock on the server. The plugin is there, and the commands work but I don't know how they work, and...well, I created a map for it, but it has no spawn location. I'm wanting to create either a spawn location for that map to house the portal back to the hub, as well as services for the skyblock map. That'll take time. If you want to be a champ, though, and create some islands/airships/whatever in creative that I can plop into the skyblock map, then please do.

On that note, I'd love to have lots of community-created assets for the server, stuff that you guys build in creative maps that I can turn into schematics and use to populate the overworld (or other maps). I'm a slow builder as it is, and given my propensity to do other things, at this rate well be ready for "public" launch sometime in 2020. Any help is appreciated; who knows, maybe I'll find some way to offer rewards to exceptional helpers. Just a thought.

Anyway, happy building!

Looks great Sep, can't wait to start building again.

Will the main world remain or is it being reset? May have missed that somewhere.

Also, I am very interested in helping with server creations, namely I have some cool ideas for a large Server based "capitol" city if you will that I can start working on. Just let me know.

What are your thoughts on adding a Discord plugin, to connect the discord server to the MC server for cross chat? Its a shame that everything is tied to discord just to make communication easier, its a pain having multiple windows open.

I think that would be fine and good to have, as I too think this is missing. I haven't looked into that, but I'll see if I can find a good mod that I can add server-side. In any case, I don't have anything to do with our Discord server, so Rommy or Ikarius (most probably Ikarius) would have to integrate it into the Discord server and make any relevant chat room.

On a cursory search, I think this mod should work for our purposes. My only problem is that chat prefixes and such don't seem to be working, but I might be able to change that by simply choosing a better, updated permissions plugin. (but then I'd have to migrate alllll those permissions....)

Anywho, Ikarius, get over here.

You can find a more extensive list of stuff that's happened in role play here...if people bothered to add it.
