Original Post said: Is there a 24/7 Minecraft server for Allegro.cc anymore? With the incoming beta update on the 20th, most of the inventory related bugs should be gone(hopefully), and maybe the server will get much more stable. Or is anyone willing to host one? I'm not a suitable option sadly. For anyone willing to connect: mc.baf.cc (No whitelist) Screenshots

I can host one here at home no problem, though my upstream bandwidth is a little awful. I could also make room on my hosted box if need be, but its already costing me more than I'd like, and I really need another couple people to fill in some space on it so I don't go broke. -- |

I would have, but I decided to save money by letting my VPS go.

cgamesplay.com server was taken down at one point because we required the memory on the box for its primary purpose. However, I can migrate whatever he had up to a VM on another server just fine. Maybe I'll do that tonight. |

One of the most laggy feautures in a server are monsters. But it makes quite a difference with or without them. Without monsters, it's mostly a creative server. With them, it's quite creative too, but not everyone is running around with diamond tools from only playing 5 minutes. I hope Notch does some serious optimization on the terrain code though. It appears it's sending the client each of the terrain chunks ALL THE TIME. Some hashing and checking if the chunks were modified could seriously drop the bandwidth usage. I've read Minecraft can use some GB's on running a server full time, so don't consider the option if you don't have unlimited bandwidth. BAF said: Maybe I'll do that tonight. That'd be great! Consider using hey0's mod instead of the vanilla server. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

You get diamond equipment in 5 minutes? I seem to spend ages just mining... What's your strategy? |

I over-exaggerated a bit with the 5 minutes, but I would say it's probably between 20-40 minutes. I've tried 2 strategies that seem to have worked pretty well on most world's I've been to. #1(Most boring, but works pretty well)
#2(Most fun, results may vary a lot though)
Of course, #2 only works well on a server without monsters, or else you wouldn't last very long exploring with so little equipment. You can increase your chances by putting this song meanwhile![1]  References

Nice song, but I hate... HATE those animals. Specially the sheep, even though I have no reason to hate the sheep more than say the pigs, they are both just as annoying. But I do. I hate those damn sheep. -- |

Might as well post the basement, since the other thread closed: {"name":"602898","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/d\/5d383cabe1c440d6f3c93575469cbd46.png","w":853,"h":480,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/d\/5d383cabe1c440d6f3c93575469cbd46"} That's one block level above the adminium layer. The lavafall starts about 5 blocks below the upper limit of the world. If we had a server where everyone had a small dedicated space that others couldn't "edit" (which I understand can be done) I'd totally make a devious platformer level for people to navagate. -- |

Four stacks isn't really that much... although if you got creative with it (and interspersed other materials) you could do some cool stuff.

I'm up for setting up a minecraft server, specially one with private areas. Does that require a mod or something? -- |

Yeah, I think there's a mod for it. Check the minecraft forums. How big of an area should each person get?

I am interested in having some minecraft, would there be public areas? Or will I just end up turning an area into a giant hole of doom? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

What you're looking for is Cuboid, and it's a plugin for h0's mod(the one I mentioned above). It was fairly easy to set up h0, but didn't try Cuboid(AFAIK, you only have to copy it to the plugins folder and edit some files). TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Pfft; it is for me. I had to dig that deep just to get any lava/obsidian at all. -- |

It seems there's going to be quite a juicy update for SMP today with the Beta change! Here are some mentioned features: Quote:
So it might be a pretty good time to get up the new server! (Though I imagine the compatibility with h0 and cuboid will be broken for a day or two) TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I was waiting for the update before I bothered setting up a new server. Waste of time to do it with software that will be outdated in hours. |

I'd say it depends on who has the best upload speed mostly. Hardware isn't really much of an issue with the server, it needs a high amount of bandwidth available. So... internet pissing contest? TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Depending on how much memory is needed with the recent updates, I have either 1 or 10mb/s available. Not a lot, I know. -- |

I have a VM waiting for it on a box sitting in a datacenter with a 100mbit pipe. Memory is the scarce resource here, not bandwidth. |

I don't think the memory usage of the server alone would go beyond 500-600mb. And I'm basing this when there was still a big memory leak, haven't hosted around since it got fixed. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Beta is out, and I've set it up at mc.baf.cc. I can't connect to it, because my minecraft is immediately crashing after I login, but I figured I'd announce the server here in case anyone wants to try to connect and see if it works. Once I get my MC working, I may import the old world from cgamesplay.com, at least if anyone wants me to. [edit] |

I have about enough obsidian now to ... well, make something really big. I've got 4 stacks. 
And lots more lava.
WTB moving platforms ...
