My Experience with "Hermitcraft-like" Servers

307 Upvotes

I would like to preface this by saying that your individual experience may vary. I understand that a sample size of joining 5 servers is not nearly significant enough to illustrate anyone else's experience.

I've come in and out of this subreddit whenever I wanted to give multiplayer Minecraft another try when IRL friends are uninterested. I must have joined about 5 groups of players and all have ended either abruptly, with little warning from the owner, or with a quickly dwindling number of active players.

From my experience of joining servers, they all seem to have something in common and that is that is wanting to capture the essence of Hermitcraft. Unfortunately, it just isn't that simple. Ripping the same datapacks that they use, attempting their rushed end-game playstyle, or simply wanting to incorporate a trading system. The idea of Redditors that watch Hermitcraft trying to outright steal its formula will not work. Please don't get me wrong. I love the Hermitcraft community and have semi-actively followed them since the decline of the Mindcrack server around 2015.

My issue here is that there is little direction and responsibility taken from the server creators and owners. If you want to add singleplayer sleep or double shulker shells, then great! But you need to deliver on the simpler stuff, like just making sure that your server player cap is consistent with at least half of the people you let into your discord group.

The blame can't just be put on the server owner, however these are the people who should know what they're looking for. If you want a Hermitcraft-like experience, wouldn't it just be easier on everyone if you just watched Hermitcraft? I feel that this clip from Welsknight illustrates my problem quite well: https://www.twitch.tv/welsknight/clip/HeartlessCuriousDuckCclamChamp. I find that many of the players that join are interested of the idea of a long-term community driven server, but aren't dedicated in actually putting in the time to make it last.

If you want to join one of the advertised servers here, make sure you know what you want. Understand that many of the "tight-knit" servers that people envision may only be possible with a group of real-life friends, or online interactions and relationships that form naturally over time. This might be a stretch of a comparison, but this I see this subreddit as the Tinder of Minecraft: fun for a short while, but rarely develops into something meaningful. If you want to take the gamble then go for it, but it just isn't mine to bet on anymore.

Thank you for reading this. I just felt like it needed to be said somewhere. I don't even know if these types of posts are allowed, but I've already written too much to go ahead and delete it.

Mod Post [IMPORTANT] I'm sorry, I messed up. Please read this post relating to reverting changes and tweaking what works. Thank you for making this place what it is.

Hello, fellow buddies. I'm Cupcake, also known as Chef, and I want to personally apologize to all of you for the misguided and, quite frankly, unacceptable execution of the new changes of the subreddit. When I originally made this subreddit, 6 years ago, I envisioned a subreddit and community where you could find other buddies to connect with on a more personal level. Something you couldn't find on other subreddits at the time. As we've grown to 40k+ members and growing, we've seen a lot of changes in terms of; the attitudes towards Minecraft, mod team changes, introductions of certain platforms and an explosion in communities being built around Minecraft! The rules we introduced and way we did things definitely gave a lot of you a bad impression of what we are trying to facilitate here.

Everything we tried to implement, everything I personally advocated for were always in good faith to keep the original spirit and vision of the subreddit, to keep it focused on the goal it was always trying to achieve. I realize now that I made the mistake of not trusting the community here to make the best decisions for itself and for that, I ask for your forgiveness. Going forward, I promise to be more transparent with all of you. And with all of that said. I introduce you to the new changes that will make this subreddit much more enjoyable going forward. First, tags are now flairs.

Tags were half-baked when we introduced them, they are now incorporated into the flairs now. Please use these flairs appropriately in order for people to better find your posts and for you to better find communities and groups that might interest you. New reddit allows you to sort posts by flairs, not quite sure old reddit does. Please use new reddit for the best experience here. Second, no more approval system.

You gave us your feedback and we listened. The approval system, no matter how much it allows us to better see what is posted, is flawed and I recognize that. You should be allowed to post as you see fit without having to wait for one of us to maybe approve you, and you potentially missing out on people even seeing your posts at all. It's gone, we will never do it again. Third, third-party names(discord, psn, xbox, etc) are allowed and links to your builds are okay in the post description, not comments.

People want to see what these communities might look like, they deserve to see what potentially might be in store when they join. And third party names are allowed to be posted. You don't deserve to be limited to reddit dms, we don't know how often you use reddit and check it so it doesn't seem fair. Fourth, the cooldown to post is now 7 days from 15.

This was a given, way too much time for people to potentially join. Please don't post more than once in a 7 day period. Fifth, and most importantly, in order to post here, your community must be private and whitelisted. No total user caps.

It was already a rule to make it private and whitelisted but now, we won't enforce you to keep your community artificially low. It's an unenforceable rule that isn't our place to police. All we ask is that you only post your community if it fits the nature of the subreddit, the spirit of this subreddit relies on good faith on the part of our users and community at large.

Please look over our revised rules and continue to share all your feedback and I promise that we will listen to you. Thank you for your time if you read through this, and I look forward to growing with all of you, my buddies.

Your Buddy,

/u/CupcakesAreGayMuffin

JAVA old minecraft friend

261 Upvotes

hey guys i’m very new to reddit so i apologise if this is the wrong place to post but i am very desperate, 8 years ago i played on a server which i believe was either a survival or factions server, anyways i met this guy under the username “golfer” and had played with him for the amazing two years that we did, we were kids back then, no social media no nothing, only running into each other on popular servers, which was a ultra rare occurrence that happened only twice, i have recently gotten back on minecraft and it made me think about the old days where times were simpler and remembered this old friend i used to play with, if anyone knows any way for me to get someone’s email or social media by only knowing their Minecraft username please message me or comment on this it would mean the world to me if anyone could help me with this or even just point me in the right direction :)

much love, michael <3

But I don't have any way of contacting him/her so if someone knows him/her I would love for you to refer me to them. His IGN is goldendragon2008.

234 Upvotes

that's right, even though I've been playing for 9 years, you better believe I can't handle more than one zombie at a time. I'm moderately skilled at building If you squint and stand 50 chunks away. Also I have a relatively okay knowledge of how the game works. Add me to your world/server and I can guarantee you:

- barley average builds

- shamelessly theatrical messages. similarly to this one.

- a lot of death messages

and probably more.

so sorry for your loss, Clumpy_clare (m)

I'm doing this for my sister.

Bedrock-NeedBuddy someone I can play with . . silently

192 Upvotes

this might be a far out there request - but I’d like someone who I can play good old vanilla mc ( bedrock edition ) silently with and vibe with

it may sound stupid but after past experience on here playing with random people, generally talking the first few times gives me intense anxiety and I stress about trying to keep a convo flowing, then ultimately I end up leaving as it’s overwhelming

I love playing the game and love being with people and bonding over a shared interest but it’s rather difficult with strangers. if anyone happens to be interested please dm me or respond to this post - I also have discord if it’s more convenient to sort times and such out there

188 Upvotes

So i wanted to play with some other players in my world but not many wanted to play. Only a 12 year old kid joined me, but now i wonder, was it the devil who joined. I was working on a tree house and when he joined, he asked for an iron ore and i, without thinking, just gave it to him like that. He just put the whole thing on fire i left me devestated. His username is mich1609. If i find u i will kill u without a thought so be aware of me mich.

Anyway, i am looking for more sincere players. My username is Antipiece and i am from India(for time compatibility). Message me if u wanna play.

Java My server is dying and I know EXACTLY who is responsible.

150 Upvotes

Is anyone else's Minecraft server... haunted?

Not by ghosts, but by something far more sinister. Lurkers. Watchers. People who log in, stand perfectly still for 45 minutes, and then log out, having accomplished nothing but sending a shiver down my spine.

My server is on life support. A week ago, the chat was buzzing. Now? The silence is deafening. And it's not a coincidence. It's a coordinated attack.

It started subtly. A few less "hellos" in the global chat. Then, I noticed someone's chest was organized differently. He claims he "rearranged it." I think he was sending a coded message to the others. I saw them all standing in a circle near the community farm last Tuesday. They weren't "admiring the wheat." They were having a summit. A summit about ME.

They're communicating through the placement of torches. I'm sure of it. Two torches next to each other? That means "the server owner is offline, commence Phase Two." A single flower in a pot? That's the signal to pretend their internet is lagging whenever I try to start a group project.

I'm not crazy. I'm just the only one who sees the truth. They want my diamonds. They're trying to kill my server. They want to see my beautiful world crumble into dust.

But I'm not giving up. I'm looking for a few trustworthy, loyal, paranoid-in-a-fun-way players to join me. People with a strong will and a distrust of anyone who offers you a free cookie. DM me if you think that’s you.
