Modacity Minecraft Server

[ASPWolf]

Creative mode is where there are no mobs, no inventory, and eternal day. You have infinite blocks of every type and you can do whatever you want with them. It's free and you can play it on the website. The beta is almost an entirely different game, where you start with nothing and have to mine/chop/farm everything to get what you want. Most of the point of playing 'SMP' is doing the work to make your buildings. Not just building them. Which is why sevlag is right in this case and freelancer is wrong.

So what the hell is the point of buying the game then if it's saved in the Classic version? <-- I'm assuming most people in this thread only play on the modacity server.

Because creative mode alone is for tools.. Everything that JackalStomper just said about creative mode reminded me of that, besides you can still play beta and not pvp.

Also Freelancer only knows how to copy paste so nothing original ever gets done by him.

Personally, I like the feeling of having worked to create my buildings, and not just having placed blocks from an unlimited pool.

^ which is perfectly fine when you dont have to deal with server lag and compete with other players for resources. that the reason i dont play SMP much at least. half the time the lag is too bad for me to do anything, and on any developed server with a few people playing on it theyll have rules out the ass and all the caves have been mined out already.

would be nice if we got a starting pack in the modacity server. some tools and basic building materials or something.

Fortunately the Modacity server is not like that.

You can go away from everyone to your own little spot where no one is around and the Minecraft map, It will never run outta resource, The Minecraft map can go around the world a couple of times, That's how big it is

yeah, right, but youre forgetting to address the first part of my post about the lag. not to mention that the server lags more as you expand the map more, so running too far off might not be a good idea.

really my main issue is #1, mining a redstone block only to have it reappear because of lag, because that shit takes a couple of seconds and ITS MY REDSTONE AND I WANT IT NOW. also, #2, some random asshole gets white listed then decides to fuck up my house. unlikely, but its a possibility.
also theres the fact that i always have to be connected to the internet to play on my online house, and the fact that i probably wont play much differently on SMP than i would on single player the perks, i guess, would be building with buddies and occasionally receiving bones in that chest i placed outside my door to fuel my tree-driven sexual arousal. that hasnt happened yet though... but this is all irrelevant. point is, i think we would benefit from a loadout of some sort, or at least a community chest that periodically gets stocked with stone tools and some basic resources. or do we already have that? i havent played on modacity's server in a while.

Well i dunno how long it's been since you played multiplayer but i exprince no lagg in the modacity server. There is plenty of places that have been explored that aren't getting used.

on any developed server with a few people playing on it theyll have rules out the ass and all the caves have been mined out already.

I'd say less than 10% of the caves in the server right now have been explored. There are a lot of them.

Loadouts I'm not so sure about, for one your suggestion is all things that you can get within a few minutes of play, and second it's really not hard to get yourself settled as long as you knows how to craft the items you need.

If a player doesn't then they won't learn how to if the server gives it to them. They can always ask other players for both items and help on crafting if they need to anyway. That's the whole point of multiplayer.


Then of course there is always the chance that some guy would grab all the items when they get restocked every time...

Ohh yeah someone should edit the first post to contain a link to the map, so many new guys don't seem to know one exists until a player tells them.

That's why you limit how much of any one item a person can withdraw.
