Gaming Hielor's Minecraft Server

[Izack]

I lied about this part--apparently the docs I was looking at were out of date. Anyone got any ideas?

I thought Adventurer mode allowed doors, levers, etc. to be interacted with. That combined with hostile mobs (or at least creepers and endermen) being removed should do it, shouldn't it?

As long as everyone can be trusted, I guess it's fine. :lol: It at least minimizes the damage one can do.

It does, and it prevents blocks from being removed by hand, but if you have the right tools (e.g., shovel for dirt) you can still remove blocks. You can also still place blocks.

I could have the player's inventory be cleared when going to the old world or back to the new so you can't bring tools, but if there are any tools leftover in chests that doesn't work, and also doesn't solve the problem of not being able to retrieve stuff from chests--I discovered I have quite a lot of stuff in chests in the old world, and I was attempting to make a way for myself and anyone else who runs into the same problem to get the stuff back without resorting to "admin hax."

There's also the problem of ender chests being used to send tools into the old world in order to break blocks in adventure mode, so adventure mode's protection isn't enough.

There's a newer permissions plugin that I might try moving us to, when I get a chance. I think it separates the "build" and "interact" permissions, which would accomplish what I'm looking for.

Unfortunately, history (including the minor griefing incident in the nether earlier today) has shown that not everyone can be trusted.

What exactly was disrupted in the nether? Everything appeared fine in the hub yesterday.

What exactly was disrupted in the nether? Everything appeared fine in the hub yesterday.

Several blocks of glass behind the main portal were removed, which allowed ghasts to fire at me as I arrived into the nether. One of the ghast fireballs shut off the nether portal and took out a couple blocks of sandstone, but fortunately there wasn't any more damage.

Now, at this point I could've just utilized ADMIN SUPER POWERS and fixed it, but I have this annoying habit of forgetting about my admin super powers and doing things the old fashioned way. I ran down to the portal near my place, and failing to find any glass, I grabbed the nearest thing I had--a few iron bars--along with a flint & steel to relight the portal.

TSP (who wasn't responsible for the damage) was also online at the time and came to investigate after I'd placed the iron bars as a temporary measure. While I invoked my admin super powers to figure out who had done it, TSP went to fetch some glass blocks and sandstone for repairs.

By the time I'd finished figuring out who had broken the blocks, TSP already had most of the damage repaired, so I went with TSP's old-fashioned repairs rather than just reverting the damage the admin way.

I propose for a court hearing

One more for a court hearing mostly so i can see one as i missed the other ones.

 

[Quick_Nick]

Burn the witch!

 

[Eccentrus]

it's been almost a year without court hearing, the populace demands it!

 

[Arrowstar]

I would be so up for that.

 

[Pablo49]

I shall prepare my finest diamond armor.

 

[n72.75]

I'd even swim back from my island to watch the castigation.

 

[Eccentrus]

lol, I shall appear wearing my diamond helmet, and golden armor, while wielding my diamond sword.

 

[tl8]

As I am back, I will get the necessary information from TSP and Hielor and set something up.

 

[Arrowstar]

Can you post the date/time so I can attend, too?

Two quick questions for folks on the server:

First, I'd like to commission a statue of The Probe for the first floor of the SkyCity University. I gave it a go in Creative the other day, but simply couldn't get anything that looked nice. I'd be willing to supply all the materials as well as some form of payment we can agree upon later. I'd all like to see is the final design in Creative mode before it gets built. Any takers?

Second, I have four unused areas of the University I'm looking to do something with. One will certainly be my office, and another will be a large lecture hall. Eccentrus, if you want a third for an office as compensation for all your awesome work with the Univesrity, please let me know. The fourth I'd be willing to give to someone for a few diamonds or a silk touch pick. You can pretty much do whatever you want with the space so long as the outside walls aren't modified and it carries a "University" feel. Doesn't have to be an office, could be a laboratory or whatnot. Any takers here?

Maybe one for a bookshop (with enchanted books)?... Students need some books, don't they? :lol:



Unrelated: I've finished my boat at Far West and placed a portal at the nearby tiny island. For now you can get to it only by foot from under Brown Line Orb's Lighthouse station. The passage is ghast free.

I've taken some screenshots, but I haven't uploaded them yet, since I first need to migrate my images from Photobucket (their recent changes are unacceptable for me) to for example Dropbox. I'll post them later on the Minecraft screenshots thread.

 

[astrosammy]

Sounds like a hard thing to do at such small scale. And this is certainly too big :lol::

 

[Arrowstar]

In that case, perhaps some floor art would be more suitable. Same arrangement there... I provide materials and compensation, someone else provides the art.

Orb: Ooo, yeah. Forgot about a library... well, if I get to the point where I need to do something with the space and I haven't had any takers yet, then I'll do that with it. Thanks for the idea.

Well, the idea was that I haven't found a suitable place to sell my enchanted books yet, but if I don't get another silk touch, and there are no other takers for the space, then you'll make a library. :lol:
