there are lots of rail systems going up.

people also have access to tp which lets players teleport to each other (with permisio nfro mthe person being ported to) , and a home setting so /home will take you back to your building.

How does PVP work on servers? A server where you have two teams wouldbe kinda cool but I can imagine it would just turn into greafing the moment it's opened to public. You'd have to cover the walls of your castle with water to stop tnt attacks and put a big base of obsidian in to stop underground assults with tnt traps in it too as a warning so you can hear if they mine under you.


currently we have pvp off.

but there used to be mods where you could designate areas to pvp zones for arenas etc, and have teams.

Tnt cannons would be fun laying siege to a castle.

Yeah i've noticed that, looks pretty cool. Well after my exams I shall come poke around and If I see a nice area that takes my fancy I may set up shop and build something.

Yeah i've been thinking about it and there are a lot of cool possibilities for PVP but it requires reliable people who will play by the rules. Would require a modified map so that the starting areas contain a reasonable amount of iron and coal to begin with and have like an hour start with 20 people a side if you were organised you could easily have quite a lot built and have a group of people working on an underground mob spawner for the tnt cannons, which would be kinda late game items in a way. Make it so you have to destroy a diamond statue in the other persons camp to win.


Are there any servers which can handle a lot of tnt though?
 
Have you seen the 360 degree cannon on youtube? It's so rediculasly accurate and extremely long range. Highly reccomend it. Would be a brilliant defence ontop of a castle.
 
I see the game as two modes at least , you can play the game and build what you want in a cheat mode, or play from scratch. I like either.
 
Would have been nice to know the actual results. Actually pretty curious. The pancake option makes it pretty hard to know how people would have actually voted if it wasn't there.

Couldn't it have been something like "I don't play minecraft because I'm always eating pancakes", or something?

Fully aware I'm going to get flamed into oblivion for this. But this time I think the pancake option has taken away from what could have been a decent poll.
 
I thought that too tbh. Why is the pancake even on any poles? I want to be able to see clearly the percentages of people doing each thing and I can't. I didn't ask for it, it shouldn't have been put in tbh but I guess you can still work it out, it's pretty clear the majority don't cheat or only do when its a huge project.
 
definitely more fun building than mining. dont have a lot of time for Mc these days and since mining took up most of my time online, i dont really get to play at all - logging on just to mine materials for two hours......no thanks :(

It's an OCUK forum 'meme': put pancakes into every poll. The mods just do it. But they should incorporate pancakes into one of the requested options, and not make a new one. People argue, though, that the only people who vote for the pancake option are people who would otherwise not had voted.

But it's impossible to know if that's absolutely the case. I'm sure some people just hit the pancake option for the laugh, whereas they may have actually cast a proper vote.
 
Yeah, I use singleplayer commands and toomanyitems in my large projects, although when actually 'playing' those projects upon completion, or simply playing a normal survival game, I won't cheat. Unfortunately the area I need to clear to build my current project has taken upwards of 30000 blocks of TNT and is nowhere near completion. I couldn't mine that much normally, it would take far too long.
 
I see why it's a harmless joke in most cases. This one however would have been good without. Oh well, not going to loose sleep over it.

I should have added "Never - I don't build large projects" and "Never - Even on large projects"

Oooo do explain this project. Do you have a youtube channel with them on?
 
Nope. Only time I've ever cheated was when I got bored with my single player map, and spawned stacks of TNT to destroy everything with.

I guess I just don't know where to draw the line. If you're flying and spawning materials, imo you might as well just build stuff in MCEDIT. If thats what you want to do... then that's fine..... but you'd probably be better off forgetting about MC altogther and learning to use a dedicated 3d editing program.

The whole point of the game is to mine, and then craft. ;)
 
I actually enjoy just collecting stuff so have never felt the need to cheat. In fact the teleporting cart system on the linktart server always felt like cheating to me and even the home command seems a bit dodgy but very useful.
 
I'll only cheat and spawn items when i'm doing a massive project in singleplayer.

Wont cheat on an online server and most the time if i'm only doing small projects i'll mine and gather the materials myself.
