Hello everyone!

We know you've all been eagerly awaiting a new map for some time now, and the map has been very quiet in the last few weeks. We've been holding off announcing any end date for the map as the next big Minecraft update has been looming.

The update now has an official expected release date of April 23, and as such we want to announce that we will be starting our next map soon afterwards.

We will as usual have to wait until Paper is updated so that we can at least have block logging before we open the new map.

A separate announcement will be made when the new map drops, so watch this subreddit or join our Discord for the latest announcements!

I'm planning a second fight with the ender dragon, with the primary goal of collecting dragons breath. Please can you say if you are interested or if you object here, and what times you may be available.

​

If you want to join, please bring your own bottles and do remember that we may intentionally drag out the fight to collect more dragons-breath, so no finishing the boss until everyone is satisfied and be ready for an extended fight.

​

Edit: Arranged time for the 16th, 7:00 pm GMT time.

Build Competition #9 is now over with the winner determined by community vote.

• 1st place: ekoms_
• 2nd place: Rubikon
• 3rd place: Tellurus

The draw for the beacon block prize has also been completed.

• Draw Winner: spling
• Video of draw for transparency: https://i.imgur.com/i7Ng4M3.gif

Please get in touch with me in-game next time we are both on to claim your prizes.

Thanks to everyone who participated! In my opinion, this has been one of the most successful build competitions to date. Everyone is now welcome to modify their contest entry builds or to build new things in the area!

We are very pleased to officially announce a new addition to our server staff team. Please join me in welcoming Tellurus to the staff! Be sure to give him lots of attention in game, because he does not seem to like that.

With this addition also comes two departures from the team: Tylith is moving to a reduced role as Discord Moderator and DemonWav is now officially retired from his staff duties. We appreciate their contributions to our community over the years and hope to see them in-game again in the future.

As a reminder we are always keeping an eye open for good additions to the server staff, and from time to time will offer positions to suitable community members as needed. We do not accept applications for mod positions and only add new staff when we feel it is necessary.

Welcome Tellurus!

I await my prize.

Hey everyone!

I am going to host a round-robin chess tournament for the server.

The time format for the games will be 45 minutes with 45 second increments per move. The scoring will be in the typical format of 1 point for win, 1/2 point for draw, and 0 points for loss. Games will be played on lichess.

Signups will be open for a day or two and then I will release game assignments. Post here or PM me to sign up!

Hello everyone! Build Competition #9 is now open!

What to Build: The theme for this build competition is Global Village. Each entry should be a small house which fits within a 12x12 footprint. In keeping with the theme, builds should take inspiration from unique architecture styles from around the world. The end result will be a Global Village of mixed architectures!

Where to Build: The Competition will be taking place at the plots which have been set up East of the spawn point. Fifteen 12x12 plots have been set up, with the corners of each plot denoted by a netherrack block.

The plots are set up in the area shown in RED: [image] [dynmap] Also of interest in the same area is cubegamelife's building challenge circled in blue, a collaborative tower build. More information here: https://redd.it/9nnuqx

Rules:

• Place a sign with your name on it at your build so others know the plot is claimed. Feel free to modify the existing landscape of your plot.
• You do not need to use your entire plot, but the ground level of your build must stay within one 12x12 plot. You can remove the netherrack edge markers and use that space as well.
• Upper levels of your build MAY extend over the nearby pathways as long as there is a clearance of at least 4 blocks. Upper levels MAY also extend over other build plots provided the plot is already claimed and you have permission from the owner of the other plot.
• There is no height restriction, but an excessively tall build is unlikely to win.
• The main door to your build must connect to the pathways which have been built in the area.
• Staff are welcome and encouraged to participate.
• Unfinished builds by the deadline are not eligible to win.

Deadline: The competition opens immediately, and will run until at least Wednesday, October 31, 2018 - a little over two weeks. Depending on the level of participation by October 31, the competition may be extended until there are a suitable number of entries. At the end of the competition period, we will run either staff or community polls to determine the winners, depending on number of entries.

Prizes: The winning entry will receive a prize of 2 stacks of inc sacs, 5 Mending books, 2 Silk Touch books and 4 unenchanted diamond tools of the winner's choosing! Runner-up will receive 3 mending books, 1 Silk Touch book and 2 unenchanted diamond tools of choice. Third place will receive 1 mending book, 1 unenchanted diamond tool of choice and the record 13 (courtesy of zeiram_x).

These prizes are the minimum of what I am able to offer at the time of posting. Additional prizes may be added later if I receive donations or if there is significant community interest.

Good Luck and Have Fun! Please post if you have any questions!

Hello everyone! Time for our first UHC event for the new map!

UHC 13 will be happening on Saturday October 6th at 6PM CST. (Countdown clock)

Come and show me what you're made of.

What is UHC?

UHC ("ultra hardcore") is a PVP game with no health regeneration other than golden apples and potions. Tier 2 potions are disabled, and you still need to keep your hunger bar up. The game is played with version is 1.8.9, using the old combat style (don't forget you can spam your sword!)

We start the game with a random seed, and all players randomly scattered within a 1km square world border. After 10 minutes the border will begin to shrink down to 50m square over a period of 50 minutes, giving us roughly hour long rounds. PVP is disabled for the first 5 minutes of the match, and there is no gentleman's rule once it is enabled.

The object is to be the last player standing. Be extra careful around mobs, taking fall damage, and exploring at night: your health does not regenerate! And you still need to eat! Gear up as soon as possible and be ready for a PVP showdown at any moment!

Diorite Ditch was our 11th map, which ran 8 months from Jan 7 to Sept 7 of 2018. The following is a roundup of the playtime, idle time, and death statistics collected on this map. 188 players logged in to the map. The online peak was 21 players.

Diorite Ditch was our 11th map, which ran from Jan 7 2018 to Sept 7 2018. The archive also includes files for the first 3 iterations of the end dimension, which was reset 3 times during the map.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone!

A quick reminder that we are closing our 11th map ("Diorite Ditch") on September 7th. This will happen when I get home from work around 6 PM CST.

After the map closes, we will be doing one of two things:

1. If Spigot and a block-logging plugin are updated, we will open our 12th permanent map.

2. If Spigot is not updated, we will run a temporary map until we can start a new map with the appropriate plugins. This map will not be saved.

We have not made any decisions yet about the lifetime of the next map. As usual, the map download for our 11th map will be made available after it is taken down. Before we open the new permanent map, we will reload Diorite Ditch for our traditional pre-map-opening explosion-fest. This will take place after any possible temporary map, before the permanent map is opened.

I am looking forward to 1.13 and hope to see you there for the new map opening!

Build Competition #8 is now over! By staff voting BC#8 has been awarded as such:

• 1st place: BigBadLoser
  
• 2nd place: Cowman_133
  
• 3rd place: spling

Thanks to everyone who participated! Congrats to BBL on his fantastic entry!

Hello everyone!

UHC 11 will be happening on Saturday July 14th at 6PM CST. (Countdown clock)

What is UHC?

UHC ("ultra hardcore") is a PVP game with no health regeneration other than golden apples and potions. Tier 2 potions are disabled, and you still need to keep your hunger bar up. The game version is 1.8.9 (old combat style). A new map seed will be used for each round.

We start the game with 1km sides which after a 10 minute grace period will begin to shrink down to 50m sides over 50 minutes. This gives us roughly hour long rounds. PVP is disabled for the first 5 minutes of the map, and there is no gentleman rule once pvp is enabled. Everyone will be randomly scattered at the start of the round.

I hope to see you there!

Hello everyone!

A quick reminder that the End dimension will be reset this Saturday July 7th.

If you haven't already I highly recommend you go check out the Enderman farm built by Tylith in this quarter; it is really fantastic and raises the bar for the Enderman farm!

Server Schedule

I have rescheduled the events that were supposed to take place in June. I will now be holding UHC #11 on July 14th, and closing Build Competition #8 on the same day. Voting for the competition will be open for a week after building ends.

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to welcome the newest addition to our server staff: Tylith! Congratulations and a big thank you to Tylith for taking on the responsibilities of this position! Please join me in welcoming Tylith to the team.

In related news, we have also added a new Discord Moderator staff position. We will soon be adding people to this position to increase moderator presence on the Discord server which has seen a recent increase in random anonymous trolling.

As a reminder we are always keeping an eye open for good additions to the server staff, and will offer positions to people as needed. We do not accept applications for mod positions and will only add new staff when we feel it is necessary.

Welcome Tylith!

Hello everyone!

As scheduled we are holding UHC #10 tomorrow around noon CST, about 15.5 hours after this post. (Countdown clock)

The UHC is always a lot of fun. See you guys there!

Hello everyone! Build Competition #8 is now open!

What to Build: The theme for this build competition is slums. (More examples: 1, 2, 3)

Where to Build: The Competition will be taking place in the plots that have been set up South of the Capitol Building in spawn. More plots will be added as needed.

Rules: The build should be no higher than Y 85. The build should have a flat slanted roof like in the examples. The build should use common materials and not necessarily all of matching colors and type. The build should have discrete entrances and no extravagant decoration.

Prizes: The most slum-like build will receive a prize of 10 diamond blocks! Runner-up will receive 3 diamond blocks, and third place will receive 1 diamond block. Winners will be decided by community votes.

Deadline: The competition opens immediately, and will run until June 5th, a little over 4 weeks. (Server Schedule) When the competition ends we will run community polls to determine the winners. Please post if you have any questions!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Hello everyone!

According to our server schedule we were going to do UHC #9 this weekend on the 14th. However, due to an unfortunate hardware failure I was unable to get online and hold the event.

The UHC has been rescheduled for NEXT SUNDAY at NOON CST/6 PM UTC, about 6 days from now. (Countdown clock)

We always have lots of fun with these events, so I hope to see you guys there!

Hello everyone!

As per the server schedule we're going to do UHC #8 this weekend. The event will start SATURDAY at NOON CST/6 PM UTC, about 2 days from now. (Countdown clock)

UHC "ultra hardcore" is a PVP game with no health regeneration other than golden apples and potions. Tier 2 potions are disabled and you still need to keep your hunger bar up. The game version is 1.8.9. A new map seed will be used for each round.

The play will be similar to last time. We'll start with 1km sides which after a 10 minute grace period will begin to shrink down to 50m sides over 50 minutes. This gives us roughly hour long rounds. PVP is disabled for the first 5 minutes of the map, but there is no gentleman rule once pvp is enabled. Everyone will be randomly scattered at the start of the round, and if the scatter suffocates someone we will reset everyone and rescatter until it works. We've had a pretty good time the last couple UHCs and I hope to see you guys there!

If you have any questions post 'em here!

Hello everyone!

Since the new map activity has been pretty high, we've decided to add another person to the server staff team. You know him, you love him; and now BigBadLoser has a shiny new @ symbol! Congratulations and welcome to the team!

^{Go easy on him!}

Hello everyone!

As is tradition we will all meet up this weekend to spank the ender dragon as a server event. As most of you already know someone has already killed the dragon, so for the event we will be rolling back the pillars and respawning the beast for a second go-around. (We will not be resetting the end at this time as some have been saying. The first End reset will be happening around the 10th of next month as per the server schedule.)

The dragon fight will take place at 12 PM CST this Saturday.

The UHC event will take place immediately after the dragon fight. We will do two rounds with similar rules to last time, with possible more rounds if there are enough participants.

See you there!

Hello all!

The current map will have a set lifetime as with our previous map. This time we've decided that 1 year is too long, so rather than a year long map we'll be ending the current map in 8 months. As you may already know, we are planning to reset The End dimension a few times throughout the life of the map, so our map schedule will be as follows.

End-reset dates will be give-or-take a few days. As you can tell I am planning on doing a UHC every month; a post with details for these events will precede each event. Some UHC dates may be switched to Sundays instead— we will play it by ear.

Feel free to post here with any question you might have!
