Massive MC poll!

[Kerberos 3,170]

Today we take a chunk out of the MC preparations necessary to getting a server set up. This poll, which the majority is multiple responses anyway, will decide the majority of the features of the server. 

 

This poll will remain open till this time, next friday, then decisions will be made  

 

Confirmed server plugins:

MCore:-

Necessary for most plugins we'd utilize. It's literally the "core". 

 

LWC-block lock:-

This is essential to keep invaders and even friends out of your personal chests. You wouldn't want your brand new fire aspect 2, sharpness 5 sword to be looted, would you? 

 

[Any]Chat plugin:-

Not quite decided which chat plugin to use as of yet, but it's certain that the official MC chat sucks and must be replaced. 

 

Permissions system:-

We need a hierarchy to manage the server. There will be no OP's as they are exactly that; OP. Over powered, and susceptible to abuse. 

 

World Border:-

This plugin has 3 main goals. 

1: To prevent an endless world

2: Working with point 1, it creates a closer, friendlier "mood". There is no 10 hour walks between places to see each other.

3: It reduces the map side and over-all server pressure. It reduces lag, effectively.

Debated server plugins:

MCMMO:-

This plugin adds fun to daily jobs. You can level up every aspect of minecraft, wood cutting becomes enjoyable, taming animals becomes fun and fishing... even becomes fun. It's really a brilliant thing to have on any MC server. 

 

Economy/money AND chest-shops:-

Adds a trade aspect, encourages travel and communication. One of the sole reasons people quit minecraft is because they get bored of being alone. with a form of official trade, you communicate more and the game becomes alive. 

 

Factions:-

This plugin allows anyone to create a faction, clan or whatever you want to call it. You get to name and create a description of the faction, you can claim land where ever you want and settle down. You can change the permissions within your faction, declare alliances and make enmies. It's a very thorough  plugin which we could use as a form of protection and roleplay. Not only does it out-line specific areas of the map so you know whos land you're walking on, it is very flexible and RP orientated for those people who want to host little villages next to each other. All land is protected from outsiders and other tribes, unless you set the permissions up, as a leader, to say otherwise. 

 

Teleporters:-

Used to get from A to B. The code in the plugin defines what combinations you need to make one. For example, you may need 2 emerald blocks to make a portal, making them expensive and rare. Or 2 dirt, making them common and horrible. Portals can be used to eliminate hour long walks from your land, to your friends. 

 

Books:-

This makes it so you can copy books, become an author and sell books. You can create lovely, customised libraries through the art of books and make the Mc world come alive slightly ever more. 

 

Chairs:-

Sit on a set of steps to make your home look ever more realistic. Simple, yet cool and makes the server a slightly more enjoyable place. 

 

Vampire plugin:-

Pretty decent plugin, which makes you able to become a vampire. You do not suffer food hunger, but you must "hit" animals which is equivalent to sucking their blood, and regains health. Vampires get extreme boosts in combat, but are easily damaged by all wooden objects and naturally, die slowly in sunlight. This is not an essential plugin by any means, but adds another aspect of RP.

I'd like to see it as vanilla as it can be. As I said previously, I'd like to build a spawn with folks with a central warehouse where we can put stuff for others to use, I have no interest in building etc, i just like mining and farming and crap.

I'm sorry but which ever server you go on, you will need things protecting... factions plugin would keep the world vanilla, it'd just ... LITERALLY protect your land

Whats the difference between these ranks?  What are there roles on the server?

 

Staff (Equal to Lotusclan staff, only on the MC server)
Administrator (Second-highest rank)
Moderator (Debated rank)

[Kerberos 3,170]

Staff IMO would be those who manage it. Such as myself, Minia, Ultimate and JB who all volunteered for the technical side.

 

Admins would be the ones who are ... like what global admins are on lotus

 

Mods would be what newbie admins are, one or two servers at a time. 

[Minia 1,211]

If I may say so I believe the server should not be white-listed but you'll need at least the rank of regular to be allowed to modify blocks. This would basically allow you to invite friends out of lotus to come view your cool house or builds and create some publicity for lotus. We'd get more friendly regulars within minecraft for people to hang out with

 

I'm going to stay on the side of only Staff and Administrator ranks, we do not require moderators. Staff will like the lotus staff have different jobs and responsibilities, administrators are in charge of keeping the server an enjoyable place. We should keep with the system we already have for the sake of simplicity.

 

I still recommend we use Multiverse to allow for a survival world and creative world. We should allow for people to have the option of both. It would prevent corruption in the economy of survival rather than if people just had the gm command.

There was a decisive winner for survival, when you had multiple choice to select both. So it'll only be survival, really.

I wish you lot would  hurry up and sort this out

[Kerberos 3,170]

I wish you lot would  hurry up and sort this out

THE EARTH WAS NOT MADE IN 1 DAY! And.. ironically, we're actually making a world

[Minia 1,211]

I wish you lot would  hurry up and sort this out

This will take time, we first need to see exactly what people want. And seeing how this is lotus... it will take time
