*** Official OcUK Minecraft Server - Discussion and Rules ***

Hardly brown nosing, ive been a supporter of the server a long time, both in terms of my time and my wallet, and when the admins do something i dont like i play elsewhere, when i join their server im agreeing to play by their rules. I guess not everyone joins with that mentality but i guess thats what gives us room for debates here.

The change to tekkit was the perfect example, i just left the server once that happens and played elsewhere until they launched the vanilla server again.

Its the same as always the people who whine about stuff because they dont like it will end up having the admins making changes to the server to suit the whiners so ill put my voice in to say i like how the server is, if thats brown nosing ah well.

As for leaving the server yes that was prob a bit dramatic so ill give you that one :p , as long as they dont go all tekkit on this one ill be happy enough, but the amount of QQ there has been for every lil change just gives me that feeling of deja vu so you will forgive me for being cynical :)

Also aire no need to apologise mate, played with ya long enough to know where you are comin from, thats why we all dont end up with carbon copy builds because were all individuals, cant always agree :)
 
Hey guys! Here’s some Wither updates for you all :D

Maxi and myself have had a long chat with a few of you. We also had the chance to speak to Aire over Mumble, which helped a lot, both with clearing the air and to brainstorm with some constructive criticism.

We thank everyone who were able to express their thoughts and ideas with us and we have come to a decision.

Nether Stars
The Nether Stars will not be included in events. They will not fill the purpose of rewards or anything else of that matter. They will not be included in any chests and will won’t be a part of the donation rewards (some of you were worried about this. Don’t worry!)
The Nether Star will only be obtainable by killing a Wither.

The Wither
The Wither will never be spawned by an admin unless it is needed as part of an event.
The Wither is free for anyone to spawn on their own accord, but this has been restricted to the End world. Spawning a Wither in any other world has been disabled. You spawn the Wither by placing wither skulls on top of soul sand like you would do normally.
If the Wither kills you or anyone else who happen to walk past then that is bad luck and an admin will unfortunately not be able to give you back any lost stuff. If you enter the End it is at your own risk :D


This may change some time in the future if it just doesn't work out for whatever reason, but we hope everyone are happy with basically treating the Wither the way it was designed, with the only restriction that it is only spawnable in the End world.
 
Love you long time :) Glad everything's sorted, things did get a little heated last night but that's been and gone.

To lighten the mood, invisibility potion fun!

Beware of the mysterious pink trouser ghost!

Also the wither pads in the nether seem to be working well. Caught 3 on it last night and 4 today

Theres 2 more locations where these pads can be built but ones covered in nether rack :/ Might get round to clearing it at some stage.

Chat lolz

That's a surprise. I suppose I better get to work removing all this now.

So that these new rules are clarified - what now constitutes 'inside spawn'?
 
Sure is a surprise after me mentioning it the other day :D

For inside or spawn is any of the builds in the immediate spawn area, think Townhall to Sharpy's Mansion, to your and Dosan's Dome to the market/bridge to Danm's + OCUK_Andy/Zumii's.

We are looking at about 80-120 blocks from there as the beacon radius can effect 40 max I believe? In which if built closer could bridge onto some players spawn builds.

As you have already built your awesome beacon tower of power! One of the admins will be happy to move it to another location for you :D If you would like to do that just give one of us a nudge in-game or use the "/ticket message" command!
 
Ha, no I didn't I said can you remove that please as the effects are annoying, in which I probably said sprint/jump. I then went off to deal with Jon making DanM's bridge spaz out with a ton of repeaters, after that I didn't notice you on so didn't mention for you to disable haste/regen or whatever its set to now.

Plus I knew these guidelines were coming at some point so I was waiting for them to be fully fleshed out before actually hawking down your throat about it :p
 
Bit of both in my opinion but my opinion isn't what determines the new restrictions. This is pre-empting the influx of beacons in which players have already mentioned to us they would like 5+ which I could end up seeing players dotting them all over their spawn builds have 5-10 beams all shooting around spawn.

That is the main reason why they are being blocked from the spawn area similar to why 1x1 towers are blocked, add to the the regen infection which I'm sure anyone can just change? So some players might find it fun to make everyone's FOV go crazy and jump like thy are on the moon!

Again, everyone is free to build beacons where they want as long as the range doesn't effect someones elses build and is outside of the 80-120 blocks spawn radius.
 
Tostring, It is because of the general rule of that the beacons effect should not clip with someone elses build without their consent, and because lots of people build at spawn and are sitting tight together, having a beacon at spawn just doesn't work. It is also a public space and as should be treated as such.
 
Ok so no beacons at all until you get at least 80 blocks from the spawn point.

And from there - the effect can't touch another players build unless they say it's ok.

Thanks, just wanted to be 100% sure before I start building somewhere again.
 
Yep, so no beacons at sat all until you get at least 80 blocks (further the better as spawn is a rather highly populated area) from the immediate spawn area, not spawn point.

The immediate spawn area is explained above, Sharpy's to townhall to Zumii's to yourself and Dosan's. Obviously use a bit of common sense when it comes to other players builds who are on the outskirts of the immediate spawn area :D
 
I think the LB tool is set up at the moment so that any entries older than a week isn't showing up. I was testing the tool yesterday and it seemed to work fine for me :confused: What's broken exactly and how do I go about recreating the error?
 
Right, just had a bit of a fire in big wooden house, but thankfully toString was on hand to play firefighters for a few minutes. I need to be more careful in the future, so can anyone explain the block range in which fire can jump to please. I thought it was 1 block in all directions, but apparently not.
