Server features - READ FIRST

[Takeo]

Welcome to the [LDG] Minecraft server!

Before you start reading, make sure to take a look at the Minecraft Server rules.

Our server is running on bukkit which we try to run with as less commands-based plugins as possible. This shall make it easier for you to get along ingame without having to remember all the commands or having to have a list next to you while playing. (The /help list doesn't make it easier as well.) However, there are certain server features which we included and will be including in the future. Below, you see a list of the functions which are currently on the server.

1. Properties (working with LDGPlugin)
Everybody is allowed to have a field of 1000 blocks for their own protection. Properties are areas, which are protected from being modified by other players, they do not disable natural dangers. This shall only protect you from griefers which try to destroy your buildings. These properties currently can only be set by admins. Ask them for a property. You can later on add/remove friends to your area. We are working on a way to allow you guys to set your properties completely by yourself.

2. Lockette
You can restrict other players the access to your chests. All you have to do is place a sign on your chest. It automatically privatizes this chest.

To add users, who can modify the contents of this chest rightclick the sign and write:

Code: Select all

/lockette NEXT_FREE_LINE_NUMBER USER_YOU_WANT_TO_ADD

You can also lock other things by placing signs on them or above them, like you do for doors.

Info: Keep in mind that this chest lock system is only relevant if you create a chest outside of your property. Inside your property, nobody else will have access to your chest by default. So you don't need to waste a sign for your chests. However, Lockette is a way of protecting chests even from explosions.

3. Multisize Portals
Portals are no longer fixed to a size of 2x3. Just build a bigger frame and on lighting the portal, it will adjust to the new size. Note that portal-pillars of the size: 1²*h (h=>height) may be turned the wrong way. so be sure taht every portalblock (the purple one) has a neignbuor on the same level, so it adjusts corrctly. Maximum portal size: 200pcs (example: 20x10)


VIP ONLY
Donators are considered as supporters and thus will be rewarded. To make a donation click here or go to the portal of our board.

3. Enhanced property
You can increase your maximum property size permanently by a one-time-donation. The maximum property size is being calculated by following term:

SIZE = (10+2*E)^2*10
E: Your total donation.

In a table it would mean:

• 00 € - 1000 total blocks
• 05 € - 4000 total blocks
• 10 € - 9000 total blocks
• 15 € - 16000 total blocks
• 20 € - 25000 total blocks
• ...

4. Dynmap
The dynmap is a tool to see the map just like in google maps. You have a top view and a surface view. Additionally you can see the players and their locations on the server. This feature is very powerful for coordination and teamplay. A donation of 10 EUR or more is needed to gain this feature. Once the money has arrived, a registration code will be given to you. To access the Dynmap click here:

1. Properties (working with WorldGuard)
Everybody is allowed to have a field of 1000 blocks for their own protection. Properties are areas, where only you can build/destroy blocks etc. Furthermore, the spread of fire and lava is disabled in these areas. This shall protect you from griefers which try to destroy your buildings. These properties currently can only be set by admins. Ask them for a property. We are working on a way to allow you guys to set your properties yourself.

Why not use towny? It already allows its users to set properties themselves. Plus it is also very customizable on the user's end; mobs, lava, fire, and friends can all be set and added with a few simple commands.

Actually we wanted to use "Grief Protection", but the setting of the max property size is not the way we want it to be. Therefor, in future we might edit that plugin a bit and finally use it. Towny is commonly used for pvp based servers (which we are not). Furthermore, it works with chunks and has a size-per-member system. Not really what we need.

We want to keep the server as command free as possible. Grief protection might be the best solution here, but only after editing it a bit. Until then, good old WorldGuard will be in use.

Maybe disable creeper explosions? I sure had a blast on the server.

The explosion of the creeper is what makes him so scary. If you took that away form him, he would be like a tamed pet... cute and harmless

We'll leave it the way it is.
