Something you are gonna want to know

[Tiggerxplur]

The survival and nether world will be getting harder. Tomorrow i will be adding fire, lava, and fall damage along with drowning and the ability to place tnt and use flint and steel.

LWC was also disabled.

ONLY SURVIVAL AND NETHER!

I'm giving everyone a days heads up so you can be prepared


changes have been made!

 

[AtomikDawn]

*is scared*

 

[maxer_]

Thats cool

I will do epic TnT Cannon

 

[HyggeDrengen]

Won't huge forest fires lag the server? :>

 

[MrJangles]

Yes, fire may be an issue across the board. Tigger, thoughts? I don't think we're loosing out on much if fire is disabled.

 

[HyggeDrengen]

Yeah, Flint & Tinder can't be used for much more than starting fires and burning mobs. Disabling it won't be a bad idea

 

[limoman]

TNT? there will nothing left of the place.

 

[MrJangles]

We'll be keeping a close eye on the progress of the survival world. Maybe fire spread can be disabled on survival, that would help. TNT is enabled. Worst case, the survival map will be reset.

 

[RefinedCode]

This is awesome!

 

[YourMacManDan]

Oh noes!

 

[Bicx]

*Hatches evil plans*

 

[Godspeedz]

Fort wars with TNT cannons? Hell yes.

 

[strikerpro]

Note to self. Never go in the nether again. LOl.

People will make traps and lava walls around the spawn. It will become an cat and mouse game for the Moderators and I believe there will be too many mice to manage. It gives little chance for newbie players.

As for fall damage I have problems holding the shift key. Someday the mod for that will be updated so its not too bad. Sometimes when I teleport using /pw I can hear a crunch. Will this become dangerous?

fire doesnt burn forever anymore so i think we are good on that point, maybe try it out and if it does lag then disable it?

there is a pretty big buffer around the spawn area that this shouldnt be a problem

as for the teleport crunch that shouldnt cause damage

Woooo!

A lot of this right now is trial and error. We'll learn from our mistakes and improve in the long run.

 

[Androcks]

Its gonna be a PAIN IN THE ARSE to grow netherwarts for potions.... sigh...

 

[Godspeedz]

Can we get more death notices? Like I know there is 1 for falling. Maybe if you could get it to cycle several quite humorous death messages? Like when you drown - "X swam with the fishes" or "X got stuck in Davey Jone's locker."

The death message on the falling one makes me giggle every time.

I can't remember the name but there's a death message bukkit plugin that you can customize death messages maybe they can add that in and make it humorous
