CaffieCraft 4.0 - SMWC Minecraft Servers [1.8]

Link Thread Closed
While I have high doubts we will transfer stuff over into the new map, I'd like to assume that we could offer a download of the world if there was a demand for it, so people can hold on to creations they have made. It'd be a large file though most likely.
We could potentially copy the structure and paste it onto our Creative server.
You should add the deadbolt bukkit plugin to ensure that your stuff isn't stolen :)
Shhh I'm your subconscious...
Nope, Survival is intended to be strongly vanilla based. This conflicts with that intention. If someone's stealing your stuff, let us know, we can look into it and see who's taking your stuff.
I think we always mean to release the old worlds but shit always happens causing the archive to vanish. We'll try our best not to let that happen this time round.

Also the server runs prism, so while it is possible to loot from chests, we are able to look up logs of all chest transactions, block placements, and what have you. Your stuff is secure, even without chest locks.

Yeah, we won't be transferring stuff over to the new map. We're most likely going to put up a download of the old map, though.
I'm filling this space with useless info.
So is the download going to go up once the server resets?
Shhh I'm your subconscious...

Yes.
I'm filling this space with useless info.
How long after the update is that going to be?
Later.
Is the survival server resetting once 1.7 comes out or will there be a short delay for building spawn?
Shhh I'm your subconscious...
Obviously we'll have to wait to be able to use our plugins again. It could take a while since apparently multiplayer has been almost completely rewritten, but hopefully not.

As for new spawn, we're not going to go as big as the old spawn, however we do plan on doing something with the spawn involving all the players after the map goes up.

The server's resetting again? What is this bullshit?

Mostly very updated world generation, including tons of new biomes.

While they could certainly just build a nether portal far away leading to new chunks, that wouldn't actually cause more activity on the server. A reset + a "new world event" at least might cause more activity.

We feel that a major update to terrain generation justifies this update, however I see where you're coming from, and we'll hopefully be able to make this the last one for a while. Our general rule of thumb currently is we won't reset again unless another large update warrants it (over twice as many biomes and a large percentage of coding changed sort of does warrant it, at least we think so).

As well as the above, you have to remember that if we just continue to expand the current map, there will be a very sudden change in terrain generation which will look ugly. Also we've already generated a very large map making it not really reasonable.

We realise that ultimately some players will dislike this choice but on behalf of the caffiecraft staff I will promise we won't update again unless there are anymore notable terrain generation updates (Mojang claim there probably won't be for a while). Expect us to stick with this map for a good amount of time.

Just promise me that you won't be importing any structures into the map like last time.  Last time, the spawn tower and nether bridge (as well as ops using Creative at their disposal) really spoiled the integrity of what was supposed to be a survival map.

When will the server be updated?

Don't worry. We're making builds more community oriented this time (and I personally suggested a less extravagant spawn). All spawn utilities will be built by the community in survival.

We're still waiting on a stable build of Bukkit (Spigot) so we can't really give an estimated launch time at present.

when exactly did that happen? We would go into creative to fix greifing, but other than that, I don't recall any moments where we used creative for our own needs

Forgot to address that one, unless you're referring to the spawn again, Kieran strictly disallows us to use op commands for anything other than op jobs (such as the aforementioned griefing thing). If you catch staff in creative mode, please inform another member of staff (or an admin might be better) and we'll look into it.

The current plan unless anything changes (highly unlikely) is to let the community build the spawn in survival mode.

When both Spigot (fork of Bukkit) and our plugins are updated.

We should just go ahead when Spigot is updated, regardless of whether yours are ready; we spent way too long waiting for them last time.
