Some people have been a bit confused by this update. The server shouldn't be going anywhere. Someone will take up the funds and ownership and all should be okay.

I'm stepping down from the server for now. The server will stick around if someone else wants to take over it.

Times have gotten significantly more hectic for me, but the main factor is that I have been pretty disappointed with the amount of negative press we've been receiving around the server as of late. This "press" includes this post http://bit.ly/1DcntQ7 and the lack of respect I've received since online, along with the sneaky luring away of players from other members. In rather unrelated news, I also mistakenly removed all of the website files in a manual update.

I'd like to specifically thank a couple of folks for the good times:

• the_sizzler, for helping me each step of the way

• RunKennyRun, for never leaving the side of the server

• Filleswe3, for being an excellent and motivated person to help me get me started out

• And for those of you that made Freebuilders a permanent home, including mek, Infinity_Dragon, posem, XxColorfulmindxX and the like.

Thanks for all the good times, and best of luck with everything folks. :)

TL;DR: I'm stepping down as owner of Freebuilders.

I heard they're adding over 200 individual mobs in 2.0. Not sure if that's true, but that's a LOT of mobs.

I am wondering when everyone is usually online in pacific time zone.

The name says it all. I propose we have a plugin that allows all players to obtain and break the barrier blocks. In case you don't know, barriers are an invisible block only obtainable by commands. They aren't even in the creative menu. They have a number of uses in building, such as the creation of rope ladders, rails hanging over a ravine with supposedly no blocks beneath them, or ship tethers. However, they are normally unbreakable. They would have to be breakable in some way to prevent trolling. I propose making them have the harvest level of iron (that's a stone pickaxe). This would allow even new players to get through barriers to get out of a box.

My username is: YellowCow16. I do not know why I was banned. My whitelist application was accepted the same day on my ban which is 06/12/2016. The only mod who was on is Mykpoz. I would like to be unbanned because I was only on for a few hours and then banned.

hey just made a new reddit account Old BlazingSun55 just want to say my ign is c3po1908 and it would be nice if someone sent me and email saying "denied" if i dont get accepted

Hey! Cyan here.

It'll be pretty tough for me to get unshadowbanned from Reddit on my two main accounts, so I am looking into creating another subreddit and dispersing the ownership of the subreddit amongst the admins/moderators of the server so a similar situation won't occur.

Any suggestions for a new name, something that'd be similar enough to the current subreddit name? Maybe /r/freebuildersmc?

Or /r/freebuilderssurvival?

Today I was playing on the server and spawned the wither in a faraway desert to get the nether star assisted by Nagauk, unknowing there was an area that was used for this purpose. While battling the beast it killed me and on the return of my items there was only half of them there. According to Nagauk, upon my death the wither disappeared along with half my items. This was obviously a bug with the server and I would like the other half of my items reinstated.

Items Missing: Bow with Unbreaking 3, Infinity, Mending, Power 5 Diamond Sword with Sharpness 5, Mending, Looting 3, Unbreaking 3 Diamond Chestplate- variety(don't remember) Diamond Pants- variety (don't remember)

I also had other items I lost but they are easily replaceable

*I would also like 3 new wither Heads so I can have another chance at the Nether star (this time in the right area)

Hello Again.

As you guys probably know, i haven't been playing Minecraft for a while, and i've decided to restart, on every single one of the servers i play on, including Freebuilders.

I've had some good times and some bad times on the server, but overall, i'd like to restart, under a new name, because of this, you are allowed to use the Sea Monument i never finished, and the HighGate mountains, do as you please.

I hope you can respect my decision and not try to find out what my new name is.

Thank you.

¬HighGate

Hey folks, the server is back up--many thanks to the DemonVPS staff. Unfortunately, the whitelist files were removed in the process. I have backups, but I felt it was time to clear our whitelist of the clutter anyhow.

If you would like to be added back onto the server, please apply via the sticky thread at the top. Those that have recently applied (or are staff) have no reason to reapply.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

Would there be any chance of installing the mod that allows for mob spawners to be silk touched? could allow for some new/fun builds and give something to do with hunting for spawners for said builds.

I've asking in chat a few times and haven't heard anything against it from the active playerbase, would the server owners be against this? Thanks,

Nag

What is your Minecraft name? Exzempt What was the date of your ban? 2016-03-09 Why do you think you were banned? I was told i stole 7 Nametags from a certain Chest, and was told it was in the logs, now this confuses me because i have never stolen a single item in game. I have an auto-fish farm that produces multiple name tags when i sat afk at it and would never need to steal 7 Nametags, i mean seriously? I was told the logs said this, which i will assume is an error. I had a fish farm that i got multiple name tags from, i gave them to other players and helped other players also with saddles and enchanted books, I gave one player Frost Walker II and other things aswell. I have never taken anything from anybody. I can swear it on my life. This must be an error. I had resources and spent many hours on the server in the past few days building up resources and working to get them, legit. Not once have i stolen. I was Banned by Sizzler and offered to talk on skype to anyone it may interest, i would gladly talk it over, but i can confirm i have never stolen, and multiple other players will back me that in the time i've been on i've been ready to help anyone who asked and tried to help multiple people, Ask them, No lies. Thank you for reading this. Why do you want to be unbanned? I like to community and i stated that earlier today, i was helping other players and they were helping me and i said a specific statement that i enjoyed the community and that players were willing to help each other "check the log chat if you will" and I enjoyed playing with these mature gamers, i didn't need to hide anything because i trust nobody would steal my things, just like i never have anything aswell. Not to mention whoever did have these name tags stolen i will gladly donate 10 of them from my own inventory because i can get them back within 30 minutes easily using a fish farm. Therefore giving me no logical reason to steal. Please check it over. I have done nothing wrong and there was an error. Thank you.

Rena and i were attempting to get her her dragons egg, (she won! yay!) and sadly, I derped and forgot to bring enderpearls after an unfortunate setback (coughdeathcough) so i thought, "grumble grumble, I'll just pop on down to the ender farm for a pack, and it'll be fine" well the enderdragon had other plans and decided that it should attack me right then and there.

so yeah... there's a gaping hole in the bridge now. Oops? sorry? :/

Before I tell you the decision I have made, I want you to know that I put a lot of thought into it, and it is not permanent.

My decision was to turn my YouTube channel over to my good friend Soundwave84 for the time being. I have been enduring a lot of stress lately, and I need to remove things that are causing it, such as YouTube. Now, this is NOT to say that I will not be playing on Freebuilders. I will. I have given up on the whole "record everything" idea. All of my series will not be run by me, however. As I said before, Soundwave has agreed to take over the channel in my absence. I have authorized him to continue my series and to create his own if he wishes. This does not mean that my channel will continue to upload at its relatively steady rate. I believe Soundwave can only record on Sundays, so videos may be uploaded less frequently. I need to take this long break from YouTube. So, again, the channel currently belongs to Soundwave84, and I will see all of you on YouTube later.

So I put in my app, and I noticed there are several people online right now, just wondering what the normal turnaround is.

I am working on a zombie grinder for XP and flesh. I have everything setup, but was wondering if generous folks could donate some stuff to really seal the deal here. I'm looking for things like bookshelves, enchantment table, anvil, chests, lapis, torches, and that should be it. For those interested in donating, you can find a chest near my place at 591, 277. Place the items you wish to donate to the grinder in there, and I will check the chest and take items to the grinder. Once the grinder is complete and ready to open, I will let you know where it is.

It's embarrassingly basic at this point, so no visitors yet lol.

Thanks in advance to those that donate :)

1. What is your Minecraft name? themilkcarton13

2. What was the date of your ban? 5/15/2015

3. Why do you think you were banned? I was banned because my friend took food without asking. Him and I were being "suspicious" and "shady" the whole time we were on the server.

4. Why do you want to be unbanned? I want to be unbanned because this was one of the best servers that I have joined in a while and I want to continue having fun on it. I will follow the rules and not steal, or grief. Thankyou for your time!

I will begin starting to rebuild the city of Riverburn complete with casino in the coming days. The location is generally around 807, 2607. A wall will be built (that Mexico will not pay for) to better outline the city.

Hey guys, sorry for the recent absence. Me and my dad went on a spontaneous flight to Indiana for a car. It was a long drive back to Colorado, and it made it all the worst I forgot my laptop, lol.
