Hey buddy, if you don’t have the time to look for the server name you don’t have time to “Play!” (hint hint). It’s literally linked on every page.

We will never establish a server-wide economy. We like it when it’s all much more casual and face-to-face. When you have a trade you want to make, you just ask and see what people are willing to offer.

If you really want, you can try to establish a trading shop, but we (the mods) won’t be able to help set it up or handle any disputes people have with it. The only time we’d step in is if people start complaining about it being unfair or not getting payments. Which would not be fun for you. And there’s already at least one trading shop on the server.

This is not a trading server.

Gawd you guys are quick ty for that! and as it is true i do not have time to play currently i would like to see if i am white listed so when i do have time i dont have to worry bout finding the code….sorry for the trouble.
also i see your point in not having a server wide exchange list. ( i just thought one would have been made to make life easier. since i am making one anyway for my game i will take suggestions from everyone here an see what we come up with if you guys are willing to help out!
btw i am femmi!

hey hey! anyone know when the next live /build challeng is?

[vigantzkyMember]

Considering the whole recent happenings, I think it’ll be delayed a bit more. I’m itching to get the sky build started too.

Hi Mods, could you tell me the current status of the world border? I’m trying to put it on our community wiki.

[kshadeMember]

It’s a square border, 26000×26000 blocks, centered at 0,0 if I’m not completely mistaken.

how do i upgrade my mc to the point where i can trade w/ villagers?
and what seed is best to spawn villeges near where I spawn?

[acethe5thMember]

http://www.mojang.com/ <- Where the 1.3 snapshots are posted. Their most recent snapshot also explains how to set it up, you should really read it all the way through.

I’d recommend just messing around with seed names in creative until you find a village close enough.

[dawnhawkMember]

thanks ace but i cant find where the 1.3 snapshots, what r they titled?
also ill try the seed generator but itll take 4ever….

I often see posts about various communities and builds but are we allowed to just go out into the ocean and hang out on our own?
Also, I’m not quite sure on one of the rules, the specific bit being here
” but do not build structures to get a ton of mobs to a certain destination or to automatically kill enemies along a path. ”
Now I understand not wanting to accumulate mobs but if you’re just automatically killing enemies along a path then that should cause no more lag than any other time?
Another question, specifically for non-spawner based grinders.
The cap for mobs is almost constantly reached, having a large multi-tiered dark structure increases the chances of mobs spawning there but this doesn’t increase the amount of mobs that would already be loaded. So are these okay?
(I’m talking non piston based mob farm designs)

And a final question, does the server have a Enderman XP farm located in The End? Almost all of these designs at any reasonable efficiency use pistons, but considering that it is in The End, it is less taxing for the server. (It should be noted that plenty of servers have these in place, and as far as I know the VGA server is pretty sweet)

Sorry for asking what I assume are rudimentary questions that are asked fairly commonly, and also I’d like to say I’m not trying to argue the rules, I just want some clarification.

Yes, but make sure you’re not too close to an already established community or build without them knowing. Check the server map to be sure!

If it’s constantly killing mobs it constantly creates new ones, also items, maybe floating water and machinery too. We’ve also had automatic grinders malfunction, creating huge amounts of enemies. Another reason why those things are banned is that we feel that they take away from the game and go against the spirit of the server/Minecraft.

There’s a (high) limit for mobs per chunk, but not a global limit. You can build these if you must, but please keep in mind that we may take action against automatic mob farms and malfunctioning ones.

No. In fact there’s a mod installed that makes XP farms near-useless. In short, we don’t like grinders. Don’t make ‘em.

Is there anyway to get animals to spawn near me? I never find any.
