We're looking to raise a good bit of money to update our forum licence and cover ongoing hosting costs. If you notice our web server is running a lot faster, thanks to Max moving it to another host. These things aren't cheap so if you have money to give, please contribute a little if you can. I'd like to point out that even if you are a VIP V, you can still do a general donation by clicking on the "Server Donation" drop down on our VIP store (http://vip.shadecrest.com/category/340188). Here is a summary of the VIP changes VIP warps bought in the past stay, no new vip warps granted through donation Container locking costs will now be 500r for everyone (still to be done this weekend) Craftbook and portable crafting should be available for all Deathchest has been disabled on the server completely Hats permissions are currently disabled for all, what we want to keep is under dispute Future Donations will grant titles or cosmetic changes only General - ShadeCrest's new rules / wiki updates http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6570/ We've now moved to the new rules that began being written many months ago. If you haven't read this post yet, please make sure to get familiar with the new rules structure. We are going to be updating the wiki over the next few weeks as the admin team has time to sit back and do documentation. General - Voting and advertising http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6088/ The school year has come upon us and if we want to keep ShadeCrest going, we need some new blood. People who maybe haven't joined ShadeCrest in the past, free time after school, or adults (like me) who enjoy Minecraft. Everyone has been voting really well (~20% increase in voting) which helps get new players, but what we could use more of is people liking our posts on Facebook, bumping our threads on McForums, and giving diamonds / posting on Planet Minecraft. Survival - Updates to the player stat page http://mc.shadecrest.com/MCStats/profile.php?player=CyberVic I added some new functionality to the player stats page. First, I fixed some bugs with how it calculates most puchased and most sold. Then I added hyperlinks from the player stats page to the ChestShop page filtering on your user and the kind of data related to each line item. One final change I made was an update to the vote data and now showing vote points. As always, looking for feedback on what kinds of things players want to see on this stats page. Survival - Let's talk about McMMO and other fantasy plugins http://www.shadecrest.com/site/threads/6574/ When I joined ShadeCrest many years ago, I joined because I really liked our plugin setup. One of those plugins that was most important to me was McMMO. For a while now, people know I've talked about amping back up McMMO to be less nerfed on survival. I would also like to talk about potentially other plugins for Survival. So please provide your feedback in the thread! Vanilla - Up and running full speed http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6532/ We had a big surge of people getting into Vanilla when it first started up, but haven't seen a lot of activity recently. Let us know if we hit the mark or missed the mark on the Vanilla+ setup. Keld has been kinda MIA, I'm sure once he's back he will be organizing the building of Vanilla spawn. Please remember to use "/prism near" to check for griefers and /modreq to ask for staff help in fixing things.
I know we've discussed this before, but I'd really love if the hat plugin could stay. I use snow hats all the time, and glass hats are really damn useful. Also, the limit and scaling prices on warps are still/staying in place correct?
I think the features offered through those two hats could be available through other means tied to McMMO acrobatics and fishing skills. I dunno, all utility hats have pros and cons, maybe we should keep them. /shrug I don't believe they've been removed yet.
Could you just center the top header for now (also let me know which template file that is because I was trying to figure it out)? I guess this motivates us to get the new logo / banner out sooner than later at the new width.
I just checked, currently all hats are disabled from a permissions perspective. We can enable specific hats we don't feel are broken in any way and make them available for all players if that's really really desired. I don't see Snow or Glass hats as being overpowered in any way. I personally like glass hats and even think they fit from a fantasy perspective, they are like deep sea diving masks.
I don't have any money to donate with If I get some amount of money that's reasonable to donate with, not this 20 cents, I'll donate. Also, with the whole "Rebranding" process going on, I'd sugget some work to be done here : https://www.youtube.com/user/shadecrestsmp
So apparently I wasn't aware, but if we remove glass hats, doesn't it incentivise people to make water breathing potions?
Nope...cuzz again, you got a choice...instead of 3 choices(drowning or wear a rasp helmet or water breathing pot) you get 4 choices if u add the glass...plus the pot runs on a timer n a lil bit of a waste of space in ya inventory
Anyone mind telling me the commands for the portable crafting and how to use the craftbook? not sure if this is the right place to ask
/c for the portable crafting table Craftbook there are guides here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/craftbook/
I really like the vanilla server. Chest locks are a bit expensive, but it's not that huge of a problem. Overall it's great.
vanilla is advertised on minecraftforums.net as 1.8 since that was basically true when we were playing snapshot. I think a lot of people are leaving once they realize its still 1.7.9 due to the plugins. If they ever update the addon stuff to 1.8, I think traffic will go bonkers.
... The second a mod comes out supporting the Bukkit API, almost every server will update to it. The "bonkers" traffic will be spread across all servers, not just ours. Also, we are advertising 1.8 on all our servers because they are 1.8 compatible. Yes, it's a bit of a lie, but other servers are doing it.
