News 1. MINEGAMES MAKEOVER.

Minigames has not been too popular. We are taking action because of it!

 

We have LOTS of plans. First, we are going to start over. We are going to re-setup and improve the successful things, we are not going to re-add the not-so successful things, and we are going to add things that we think you will love!

News 5. Custom SG Arena! -- DONE!!

ShadowXCraft i̶s̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ made a custom SG arena. Since in 1.7.2 there are new blocks, we a̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ planned on using one; packed ice.

 

-The plan i̶s̶ was to make an almost pure ice arena. Also, most things w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ are under ice (ground), and we a̶r̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ took advantage of packed ice to limit where you can see through things.

-The lower regions w̶i̶l̶l̶ have much more packed ice then the the upper regions

-It support 40 players (This thing is HUGE)

-It is going to be large,̶ b̶u̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶l̶a̶r̶g̶e̶.̶  Around 720 X 720 blocks

-There are a lot of tunnels (lit with glowstone), trees, and buildings made of ice!

-There is a top area where there will be pure ice that will have hills and ice trees and buildings

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To clarify- We are for the basic starting point going to use ice and packed ice depending on if we want to let the people see through things. more packed ice will be used near the bottom than the top. we will use light sources, but if they cause ice melting, then we will use redstone lamps, but if we need something brighter, then we will need to space them a bit or put packed ice there (packed ice does not melt and it allows things (like torches) to be placed on it). There will also be chests used, and other than that, there will be some things used, but will not be used much, and preferably be okayed by the owners.

News 2. Prison - DONE!!!

Hello! If you havn't noticed, prison is DONE!

We spent a LONG time on this project! more then 5 months!

All of the things were made block-by-block, with some help from worldedit.

Another reason it took so long, is because prison is MUCH more permissions complicated then everything else.

In our prison there are ranks A-Z and Free. Free means you finished prison.

We have a food area, an enchant area, a PVP area, and more!

 

When starting prison, don't forget to go to the log mine first! You need wood to make tools!

 

Good luck and enjoy!

 

Prison is still is BETA, meaning it can have bugs. By now we have fixed most of them, but there are still some that may need fixing.

Report bugs to lizardfreak7@gmail.com

News 4. VIP!

We are now debugging VIP and VIP+ so that you valued players can contribute to the server, and get fun perks! We are not for profit.

 

Edit: Only a prefixes now do to mojang getting strict....

 

          If you didn't know, running a public server like this isn't cheap. I (lizardfreak321) actually home hosts it, BUT that does not mean worse quality. We have business internet (The server's bandwidth usage of about 700 gigabytes a month), and our ping in 14ms from new york, and 84 ms from Seattle Washington. We also have a dedicated server wired directly to the modem. If you donate, the money will go directly into that dedicated server. We are planning on doubling the ram, doubling the CPU power, and adding an SSD for a total of 500 United States Dollars. That will decrease crashes, startup times, and lag! So please contribute as much as you can!
