PvP CoreJourney [Hardcore] [PvP] {1.16.5} {You Die You Get Banned}

356 Upvotes

Minecraft but if you die you get banned for 24 hours.

In a server where dying means losing everything, only the strongest alliances can survive.

At the center of the map there is the core, the bravest players will be the ones living near it.

Level up with your friends to build and destroy closer to the core, where lower level players are not able to interfere with your reign.

But warning: new players won't stay new forever, so be prepared for attacks when you least expect them.

And choose your fights wisely: if you die you lose everything, and you get banned for 24 hours.

[Meta] Data science and effective Minecraft server governance (thanks r/mcservers)

346 Upvotes

I'm a scientist, and I just published an analysis of governance plugin effectiveness that relied in part on data from listings here at r/mcservers. The goal was more to explore general theories of governance institutions than to scientifically determine the best plugins, but the data (which I've published with the paper) could speak to that as well. What's special about Minecraft from a scientific perspective is the self-hosted aspect, which makes it possible to compare hundreds of thousands of little states. By comparison, Earth's nations only let you compare a few hundred, max.

I wanted to share the work and thank the community. Being an op/admin is pretty thankless, so maybe you'll appreciate some outside validation that what you do is important.

Here's the paper (open-access; no paywall): http://doi.org/c76k (All the nitty gritties are in a separate doc here: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0216335#sec010 )

I'm happy to answer any q's about this study or any of my others. Thanks again!

The 1 Slot Server [Vanilla] {Experiment} {Survival} {1.16.4}

212 Upvotes

Ip (1.16.4): 96.126.101.117

A server where only 1 player can be online at any time for up to 30 minutes, and when the next player joins, they pick up right where the previous player left off with the same items, location and everything. Basically, you all control the same player!

This is like an experiment, I want to see how far we can get and if its possible to kill the enderdragon this way! Players are encouraged to try to communicate by leaving signs or other items/entities, and anything goes apart from cheating or using prohibited mods and clients.

We have a custom coded queue plugin which lets players wait their turn to play, and once you join you have 30 minutes before your time is up. You then have to re-join the queue to play again, ensuring everybody gets a turn and you don’t have to wait too long.

Feel free to join our subreddit and post anything interesting you find on the server, we encourage you to take screenshots! – r/1SlotServer

Civclassic [Semi-vanilla] {1.12.2} {Civilization} {Anarchy*}

202 Upvotes

What is Civclassic?

Civclassic is built upon self-moderation. All power is in the hands of players. However...

It is not anarchy - every block placed can be protected;

  • Here's a city, built by hundreds of players, with property laws and a legal system.

It is not towny - every block protected can be destroyed;

  • Here's an attack which took months of preparation and collaboration with many nations

It is not factions -- but enough of what it is not -- what is Civclassic?

A group of plugins refined over 6 years to create a Petri dish for the growth of civilization. Civilizations are not created by typing a magic command nor are they defended by messaging admins. There is no formal power plugin, only choices. Who you ally with, who you trust, the blocks you place, the tools you forge. It is a server where ideologies can be tested, community's grown and any niche filled. It does not matter if you are a cartographer, writer, anarchist, communist, programmer, artist, economist, weeb, politician, pvper, journalist... or anything else. For there is no single purpose, only the sprawling sandbox and the choices that shape it.



How Civclassic plugins foster civilization

Citadel

  • In pure vanilla it is easier to destroy then to create - a bit of TNT and the mansion you spent weeks building is gone. Citadel evens the playing field. You can reinforce blocks individually so the block needs to be broken multiple times to be destroyed.

Prison Pearl

  • Punishment for almost any action that is not cheating or doxxing is left up to players. Killing a player will create a lored enderpearl item and exile the player. Anyone who wishes to free the player can do so if they are able to capture the lored pearl item. Thus massive structures are built to protect said items. Here is an example. While it may look chaotic the design is carefully formulated to protect the pearl items in the center.

There are a number of other significant changes and I recommend you refer to this getting starting guide. I encourage you to reply to this post or ask in linked discord or replying if you have any questions!

This needs to be said, and I think other people have this problem too.

183 Upvotes

I have joined 8 different survival servers over the last few months. And honestly, I haven't enjoyed any of them. Most of these servers go to huge ends to prevent griefers from getting into your ranks and destroying people's stuff. That's fantastic, but I havn't had a single problem with griefers. All my problems are with your moderators (and occasionally admins.) When I join a survival server, my list of tasks looks something like this:

  1. Run away from civilization until I am in no-mans land.

  2. Make a secret base that nobody will find and start hoarding food and supplies.

  3. Make structures that are nice enough to get a passing glace from others.

  4. If there is PVP, get full diamond gear and kick butt.

This is fun for me because it takes effort, and a lot of time. The problem is usually around step 2. Some moderator will teleport into my house, or fly around my house at mach 3 with full diamond armor. Then proceed to play god, watch me from above and either smite me or give me his eternal blessing by showering me with items he thinks I want. This kills the entire point of playing! I don't want your items, I don't even want to see YOU with those items. Having you find my base is enough of a punch-in-the-face to make me want to leave for good. Nothing kills my effort faster than someone instantly summoning an item or building that I spent DAYS on. I play to be unique and be able to show something interesting that I created with my brain and from my hard-spent time. NOT watch you get it in seconds.

So if you want to make your severs better, here are some tips:

  1. Your focus on no-griefing is admirable, keep it up.

  2. If you are a mod, DON'T wear diamonds. Hell, don't wear anything. If you are on a HUGE server and you have 10 mods and like being distinctive with a uniform- then wear chainmail.

  3. I don't care if you have an economy system, or a trade system. But I had better not see anyone asking a mod for stuff because he died and his items fell in lava. If someone does ask, moderators should be professional enough to say "no".

  4. Your moderators should be like police officers. Nobody want's to see them unless they are called. If you're mods want to play like everyone else, I don't have a problem with that. But I have never seen a single mod that refused ALL cheats/powers and played like a normal individual.

  5. Finally, I have seen many moderators 'stalk' people who they suspect of cheating/griefing. That is just creepy, even in a game. If you want to 'watch,' then use spectator tools. They let you watch from a camera perspective and nobody knows you're there. DO NOT just TP yourself over to me every 10 minutes. I have been bumped off at least 12 bridges because someone wanted to know what everyone was doing at all times.

United Factions - Back from Gone!

Server IP: play.unitedfactions.net

Dear Minecraft community, Player, NPC, entity, Factions player, Java or Bedrock player!

Website: www.unitedfactions.net
United Factions Trailer: https://youtu.be/Ra5dmflDi8c

It would be very unlikely that we have met before, or that you know who we are. However, our Minecraft Factions server goes all the way back to 2011. You can still check the original Planet Minecraft listing date as proof.

Back in 2011 we started a Minecraft server, a Minecraft Factions server, meant to be a place for experienced players, new players, raiders, builders, faction leaders and friends who just wanted a proper community to play in.

We had a great community. If you want to see some of the old history, search YouTube for "United Factions server". The server eventually went offline a few years later due to personal circumstances of the admins.

But now we are back online.

Introduction | Our Staff & Team

Let us introduce ourselves. We are SupaYoshi and SirMario1.

We are Minecraft players from the first hour and early Minecraft server adopters. SupaYoshi is a system administrator and Linux engineer, and SirMario1 is an experienced Minecraft server admin.

We have also had great help from experienced Minecraft builders designing our spawn, buildings and server areas. A lot of time has gone into rebuilding United Factions into something that feels familiar, but ready for a new generation of players.

You can find more about our team on the website: https://www.unitedfactions.net/staff/

Why you should at least check our server out

Ever since starting United Factions in 2011, one of the best parts has always been seeing people enjoy the community, form factions, make allies, start rivalries, build bases, defend their land and create stories together.

A lot of servers nowadays lean too hard into pay-to-win systems, protected bases, unfair paid perks or gameplay that removes the risk from factions. For us, factions should still be about defending, raiding, strategy, diplomacy and player skill.

That is what we want United Factions to offer again.

  • A Minecraft Factions server with roots going back to 2011.

  • Java and Bedrock support, so friends on different platforms can play together.

  • Land claims, faction progression, PvP, raiding, defence and diplomacy.

  • A public faction system where your faction can grow from a small camp into something much bigger.

  • Custom spawn and server builds made by our team.

  • A community Discord for recruitment, announcements and launch updates.

  • No paid unraidable bases, no unfair combat perks and no pay-to-win ranks.

  • A server focused on community, competition and the stories players create.

We are also looking for players who want to help shape the community. Whether you are a faction leader, builder, raider, trader, grinder, diplomat or just someone who misses old-school factions, you are welcome to check it out.

Rules

The server rules can be found here: https://www.unitedfactions.net/rules
