That's more than he's paid for our tekkit server :fuzemb:

Warning!

Tilco Manufacturing and the area surrounding it is now the Chernobyl of indescribably lag. Enter at the risk of getting sucked into the laggy void. The fallout will last for a few days.

This health and safety message brought to you in part by Tilco Munitions: We sell guns and start fights.

I already fixed the fuckton of problems you caused.

Speaking of which, using the Blazerod exploit to gain EMC quickly is cheating just as much as using the collectors was. While cleaning out Tilco I must have picked up two inventories worth of diamonds. While it is possible to do in the game, it obviously gives a way too big advantage.

I can't currently do anything to fix this except to tell everyone that Blazerod EMC generators are not allowed from this point on. Find some other creative way to generate EMC that doesn't use a mistake in the game.

Hula and Lenden, I've shut down your generator and left you some diamonds as (a very generous) compensation for the losses.

Some servers have banned blazerods altogether (but not blaze powder) because of this problem. Maybe you can ban blazerods and then people will have to use my library to clone blaze powder from existing EMC if they want it for whatever reason.

Server Announcement

Blaze Powder and Bone Meal are now worth 1/5th of their respective original ingredient instead of just half. This effectively makes it impossible to make an EMC farm with them, so that problem has now been fixed.

Ah well. We didn't know it was cheating as it was a feature. We're sorry for what we did and it will never happen again.

And thanks for at least leaving us a few diamonds. c:

Our servers have always been as legit as possible. Even though EE is kind of a stupid mod for multiplayer survival servers I do try to keep it in as much as possible. But people need to realize that if they are able to produce a stack of diamonds every 2 seconds it just ruins not only your own fun, but also the fun of everyone else playing on the server.

So just to make it clear to everyone once again; any form of excessive EMC generation is not allowed. If you think to yourself 'wow this is generating a LOT' then don't do it. There are plenty of ways to generate some moderate amounts of EMC by growing crops and stuff like that, which is fine. Just don't span farms thousands of blocks wide to generate colossal amounts of EMC. You get the idea.

Well, nothing to stop people using mining lasers to turn up entire chunks like I was doing... Just be sure to do it away from civilisation.

BTW each time I log on (not as often these days, I know) I keep finding my Enderchest and Enderbag full of someone else's stuff... Aren't enderchests supposed to be unique to players?

Supposed to be yeah, I think.

I've since found out that apparently they aren't unique unless you colour enderchests differently... You can right click the 3 pads ontop of a chest with differents dye to give it its own code. To align an enderpouch with a coloured enderchest, right click the enderchest with it. This actually makes them more useful - Maybe you can even set up some kind of mail system this way.

Hmm, now that's an idea.

Oh yeah, we use Ender Pouches for additional storage, sorry about that.

Well mine is now marked with 3 purple and is separate from yours so it shouldn't be a problem now. :)

It's confusing because the original enderchests (in Tekkit) are colour-coded. The later (vanilla) enderchests have no colour-coding and are utterly separate per player. I don't blame Mojang for wanting to keep it simple.

Hey everyone, I just have a small announcement/question.

Me and 4 friends would like to make some random Minecraft videos and they are looking for a decent server to play on. I offered to do it on our server since it isn't being used that much anyway, and most of them are from the US so it would take place outside of our usual timeslot anyway.

I can load a different world during the time we are recording so our own world remains unaffected by any of their actions. It would just mean that the vanilla server is probably unavailable for regular play after midnight on certain days (which I will announce, obviously).

For everyone's peace of mind I will be adding these friends to the whitelist only shortly before starting and will take them off right after we finish so the rest of our server remains private as usual.

I hope this is okay for everyone. If you have some concerns please let me know.

As long they leave me stuff alone and the tekkit server is functional, then I'm perfectly fine with it.

I don't see why not if it means the servers get used more. They have been quiet lately.

(I'd come on more, but you know why I'm not seen as often lately)

I'm cool with that :)

I need to get back onto the server. I have to start fixing all my Redstone contraptions, The doors outside my fort won't close from the inside and the Temple of Time doors have been broken since the lastest update. I might need some help with it.

I'm taking a break from my cube anyway, so it's fine by me.

Would you believe that the reason I'm not playing Minecraft as of late is because I'm too busy doing Minecraft Videos?

I would believe that, yes.

You and Wil need to come onto the OWF Server sometime when your recording. It would be fun :)

Indeed it would. Show off our stuff a bit.

Two days ago, I decided to return to the good old server myself. Initially, when I spawned at the Longhouse at startup, I wasn't sure what I could still do: we have all kinds of cool stuff, resources, transportation, a vault for the dragon egg and stuff. So I decided to head back and revisit places just for reminiscence.

I got to Ma'Spa, had a look around, was stunned by a huge wooden temple building which was completely new to me. Then I discovered that the old stone building next to the inn was turned into a communal storehouse of sorts, which still had some blocks missing that I immediately finished. Then I went farming birch trees and put some items into the Wooden items chest.

I guess that's when I realised that, seeing that MC doesn't really have that value of novelty for me anymore, the only fun I get out of it is when I interact with other people and their creations. Maybe the rest of you feel like that as well, which might be the reason for why the server is so unused these days.

We had some ideas going on for community events, right? Why don't we organise something like that again (that is, when the server is not used for this Dutch-American collaboration that was mentioned, with which I'm OK with btw)? The Spleef arena Splat build hasn't really been used that much, for instance.

I've had plans to organize certain events on adventure maps and such but never really got around to doing more than just thinking about it. I agree though, Minecraft loses its charm when you've built just about everything there is to built and killed your 1 millionth creeper. I think that's why a lot of people now play Tekkit instead. So many more possibilities.

Hey, could somebody log in and save me? :( I'm trapped underground

EDIT: It's okay, a zombie just came and killed me :)

Phew, I was a little worried you might have had a problem

Alternative solution: dig up?

How do you make a Stargate? Or is this exclusive to any rank above Regular?

On the Tekkit server you can build the shape but it requires a moderator to 'activate' it.
