Current Server Information and Rules (Read ME First)

Server Status: 3/3/12 SERVER IS INACCESSIBLE, WAITING ON 1.2 UPDATE
iZone Update: the entire inside of the walls are now a zone, in this zone: monsters won't spawn, TNT won't work, Explosions don't have any effect on blocks, and any players inside the wall will be healed.
Document Updated: 2/22/12

1. Respect the Creations of others.
2. Admin/Mod rules are the law of the land. We also have eyes everywhere. Everywhere.
3. No GRIEFING. This includes and is not limited to: Spring-placements (adding lava springs or water springs in the way of others or their property), vandalism (destroying another person's blocks), theft (acquiring somebody else's blocks or items without their permission: when someone dies or from chests/mines). Grief... and then the banhammer comes out. Specific areas have protection on them that doesn't allow some commonly used griefing tools to be used(TNT, Flint and steel, Lava/Water buckets).
4. Spamming is against the rules. I don't like it and neither does anyone else.
5. Read signs, they have useful stuff on them.
6. Teleporting must be operated through the use of teleportation-request. Use the commands /tpa to request before teleporting, /tpaccept and /tpdeny will accept or deny a teleportation request.
7. Rank-based powers must be used sensibly in Survival and not used as a competitive advantage, unless a specific use is approved by an Admin or agreed upon by the community at large.

Moderators:

Ranks and their in-game colors:

The Ranks in-game will reflect your ranks here on the forum, so if your a member or an admin/moderator you will get the corresponding privileges based on your rank and access to more advanced options and responsibilities.

You can ask to be promoted but we may or may not feel that you need to be moved up, this will be done on a per person basis. If you wish to be promoted please PM Bowlington or bigyin96 here on the forum and we will consider your request.

Residents and Neighborhoods

The different sections of the area inside the wall are broken down into several partitions or "Neighborhoods", and may be referred to as both. Sections within the wall benefit from luxuries such as not having monsters in their yards, nobody blowing your house up, timmy from down the street not lighting stuff on fire with matches, and a nice atmosphere that gives your player better health. In all seriousness, the sections benefit from lit, paved walkways between them and various points of interest, a market to buy supplies and tools, a chapel, an indoor swimming pool, a community wheat farm(please replant!), and a town hall.

The various Neighborhoods and their residents:

Downtown: Homes located at the heart of the town, on Main Street.
bigyin96- Keeps an aesthetically pleasing loft here, with a creative emphasis of wooded blocks.

Malibu: A beachfront area, with crystal clear water and a calming seabreeze.
skinny109- Skinny calls a modern beachhouse home at the waters edge.

Lagoon: Water centric, upscale neghborhood northwest of spawn.
MorpheusZero- Is based in the Lagoon section of town, and the Clan Leader for SoldiersNeverSleep or sNs. Morpheus calls stilted lagoon compound home.
LT13QB- Has a nice stilt house and farm next door from morpheus.
ThePope890- Has a glass-fronted beach house around the corner from Morph and LT.

Harbour: Snowy, but cozy area adjacent to the Waterfront.
Matty021220- Is living in a flourishing wood based home not far from the walkway.

This section will contain all the plugins we're currently using and their purpose. I am also running several anti-griefing and back up plugins for the protection of the community at large. I will post some of them here so they can be explained but some are going to stay secret for obvious reasons. GRIEFERS TAKE NOTE: You won't last long on our server, we are a tight knit community, and you will easily be detected.

Plugins: (commands will follow in their own section)

-Essentials: This is the base plugin our server is set up on. Allows mining, placing, building. Very basic stuff.
-EssentialsGeoIP: This plugin shows the location a new user is logging in from. (Its very general to the public ie. it only shows the country, but it also saves the IP in our logs for Admin purposes.)
-Groupmanager: This plugin controls our Server ranks and permissions. (Builder, Moderator, Admin, etc.)
-iZone: Anti-griefing and protection plugin, details in later section, ask Bowlington to use this.
-Mobarena: Allows a gladiator style game to be played with other users against various waves of Mobs. (supports classes).
-Spout: Spout (The link before this sentence will give you info on the server plugin itself) A client tie-in plugin allowing more features to users who are also using the client. (I have now gotten it setup correctly so you do not need the client to play on the server, you can use it if you wish)
-Worldedit: A very powerful editor for admins/OP's only. When in use it may cause some server lag due to the sheer amount of blocks that are being manipulated, ask an admin if you want to know if Worldedit is currently in use or if the lag is from another reason.
-Zeeslag: This is a plugin that allows in-game Battleship matches
-Craftipedia: Allows players to look up crafting recipes in-game.
-BOSEconomy: This plugin controls the servers financial system.
-Citizens: This plugin allows the dynamic creation of NPCs that can serve a variety of uses.

Now that all the formalities are out of the way you can get to mining! The main town has a large wall around it. You are free to build a dwelling of your choice inside these walls. You can explore out side the walls at your own discretion but if you want to establish a settlement, run it past an Admin first. Also put a sign up on your property so everyone knows who it belongs to and theres no property disputes. Please use the threads her on the forum for their purposes, like reporting an issue or something along those lines. This thread will get you started on the basics of Minecraft as a whole: Beginners Guide to Minecraft


This post is still being written, but the just of the info is there. Any other admins feel free to add to the Essentials commands list because its massive and I want to include only the ones that we use often, all I ask is that you uphold to the overall style of the post.
