Juke-Boxes...What happened?

As of now, you cannot remove or place JukeBoxes on the server, if you want one removed, tough...there is a big glitch with them that is resetting chunks.


This mainly affects mac users but occasionally happens with Windows users as well. If a jukebox is broken the chunk it is placed in has a very high chance of regenerating, making you lose your progress in that 16x16 area.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Server Update and Factions

Hello everyone!

We bring you excellent news and hugs! After many hours of testing the server now has a modified version of factions installed. Please read all of the info below, if you still have questions left please talk to OPP in-game or leave a comment to this post.

Currently there are 4 setup which you can be invited to:

  • Sorville
    • Rohin
    • Echo
  • New Horizon
    • Shamusstobbe
    • hogepodge
  • Tri-Ying 
    • Shuski
    • Daracon
    • Tomahawk117
    • Feyyore
  • Goofy Goobers
    • MonkeyxNathan
In order to join a faction you need to be [R]Registered and must contact one of the leaders of the factions either whilst they're online or through P-Email:  "/mail send NAME Hi I wanna be in your faction".

So, is this a factions server now?

Absolutely not, even though the factions plugin has been installed, not everyone can create a faction. (Read below for the requirements to create a faction). The reason it was installed was for the small groups of people who have been forming to have the ability to protect their lands from the randomers that join the server. This will hopefully reduce the amount of "OMG, I GOT GRIEFED" hassle. At least from the majority of the members.

Do I HAVE to join a faction to play?

Nope! The server is still running the way it was when it first started, the 'factions'part is for communities to form which will allow for trade between factions and friendly competition. 

Does this mean PVP is now on in the map?

PVP is still globally turned off, but OPPDelta and Daracon have plans for that in the near future. Keep an eye out ;)

I want to create a faction!

WOOT! It's great that you want to form a small community but there are some minimum requirements for creating a faction area. Here's the check-list:
  • You need a minimum of 5 members willing to join ([F] rank or above).
  • Founder must be Donator or above rank.
  • 64 diamonds between your members (More members, easier this is).
  • A town/city or spawn platform that already takes up a 100 x 100 area.
    • Or at least a plan/blueprint in MSPaint of your buildings.
  • Your faction HAS to be at least 600 blocks from the nearest faction border.
  • You must  have a spawning area for people to warp to. 
    • Either a faction home building or warp pad.

How do I join a faction?

You have to ask the owner of the faction. They will either say yes or no and send you an invite. Once you recieve this invite you use the command /f join FACTIONNAME enjoy! To leave a faction you do /f leave.

I crash near spawn! - FIXED! (I hope)

Hello everyone! I've finally tracked down what was causing the disconnect.overflow error that's been plaguing the server the past week.

It appeared to be the anti-xray auto updating to build of bukkit that the server wasn't running. Causing incompatibilities

This should hopefully now be fixed (After experiencing it myself) after spending most of the night tracking it down, since I knew what the errors were in more detail.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys. But hey! I fixed it! *flops on the bed*

World Information

  • Survival.
  • Inventories between the main world and water world are shared.
  • 600 x 600 in size, for now.
  • Donators+
If you'd like to visit or help out, visit the portal at /spawn 's crossroads garden...thing...(Where the creative portal is).


In other news. We are currently waiting on Mr Sorvius for the results of the spleef arena build contest.

The server is lagging! Fix it!

The server is currently pre-rendering the terrain, because of this the TPS has dropped dramatically. (Near to 9 TPS atm). Ironically, this generation is to stop any future lagg.

There's a couple more hours left of the generation. Once it's done, it's done!
