The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[Porochaz]

We did it.

Unfortunately Stabby didnt see much action as the ender dragon never landed... but still, glad I got the firing practice in!

As Andrius said, we wanted to find elytra etc. and we explored a wee bit and I built bridges over to other islands, but searching and searching isn't that much fun. Especially since we've done that already with nether fortress/endermen/end portal etc. If the mods were to grant us some elytra/creative mode access (:P) to have a proper look round, that would be great. Or even the co-ords for a mansion. But as much as I have loved our river cottage, my secret space, Sally - my horse and our desert hideout, I am done with this world. I want to play my other games again for a bit. Thats definitely not to say I won't take part in other things, I really want to do some of the events - I really enjoy doing them on other servers and would love to here. But as a long term play-through, I get addicted to it, and actually Im not sure (beyond the interaction with other players) I find it that fun. Enemies were a nuisance more than fun to kill and even though I had a pretty good mob farm setup going, I couldn't face - over the last week - going to level up 30 more levels, so much so that only my sword was enchanted in the final battle.

That's not to say I didnt have fun. Finding the nether fortress/end portal felt like an achievement. (particularly the end portal - I found the fortress, couldn't find the damn thing itself) I find mining oddly relaxing as well. I loved our villages and our cottage. But my real take away from this was the fact that I did with Andrius, who was fantastic, like he put up with me dying near constantly and picked me up when I felt really shitty about this run, so thanks man, Im glad we got to the end together.

As for me, I'm all for events - if there is enough interest, may have another go at modded at some point in the far future, but beyond the ms vanilla server, Im done for now.

Thank you mods for hosting us and putting up with our whining and allowing us to be able to do this. I enjoyed myself, and my criticisms are at the game itself rather than anything else.

[Andrius]

I don't know how running a server works, but I know of at least ONE pre-generated SEED with a mansion w/in 500 blocks IIRC, so if we wanted to do that that could be fun. Just stomp through a mansion for a day or so. IIRC one of the mods said they hadn't seen one yet either and they're HUGE and take a lot of time to hit every room. Even the secret rooms. >:D

Glad we made it together as well.

I think we need to try doing adventure maps. Where there is set story lines to go down and whatnot. We schedule a time to all log in and do one for 2-5 hours

I can make this happen. Or if you wanted to see the mansion seed happen I can do that too.

Congrats to you all!

Send me and maestro PMs for events and shit, and we'll schedule them all

Because of the level of activity, because it just doesn't seem like something people want as much,

AND

because it conflicts with the general idea of MS Vanilla, I'm going to vote against any more "open-ended" SMP-type worlds. We do special events with specific mini-games or adventure-style maps or people play on MS Vanilla - there's no point, IMO, doing these long survival worlds because that's not what this server's about.

Since nobody's online now, I'm going to switch the world to a backup and restart it in Vanilla 1.11.2 (or whatever we've been on?) with the default mode set to Creative until we get a "next step" in place, most likely The Walls or something along those lines.

[McMenno]

yup I'm echoing the same sentiment here, something like race for the wool could be fun, also ctm but those take a little more time so yeah

[Maruchan]

There used to be a really good archive of amazing adventure maps that are organized by difficulty I'll look for it when I get home

[Rhinox]

Congrats slaying the dragon guys sorry I couldn't join in just haven't had a ton of spare time lately. PS did the main vanilla server dragon ever get slayed?

I'm all for other events particularly ones that don't require long commitments. I can swing 1-night type events pretty easily.

[Fishythefish]

On the main vanilla - I had a go at finding a fortress. I got to a point where I lost an ender eye because is went straight down in the middle of an ocean, but never found it. Might resume the quest some time

Well, I do know that a fortress was already found, and the end had been visited. Always thought we were going to organize a group slaying but that never happened that I know of. Wasn't sure if it was slayed or not. If it was at least the dragon can be reborn indefinitely. Just thought it'd be fun to do it together the first time but I guess ppl might not be that interested in it now after doing the event server thing.

[Fishythefish]

Ah, ok. I'd be up for slaying a dragon some time. Maybe this weekend if it's still alive and anyone else is interested?

So I never really got into Minecraft until the last year or so. A few years ago, I played it with some friends for the first time and really liked it. I’m not a fan of sandbox games usually but I love cooperative survival games (probably my favorite genre) which is what I consider Minecraft to truly be. But after we successfully beat the dragon and won the game I didn’t go back until recently. They added a crap ton of things and the game is still quite a fun romp to play with friends.
Then I got the game for Vive, a virtual reality system that has room scale support. The game has become legendary. It’s so different when you’re actually in the world. Everything is so much bigger and more immersive. Anyone who’s played Minecraft can probably imagine it, but even then it’s something you still need to experience to truly appreciate it.

Growing up I loved lego, and I always wished I could actually explore the lego creations I made. This is basically the closest you can get. The Minecraft VR edition lets you make yourself any size relative to the world so you can grow to be huge and place the Minecraft blocks like lego to make a house. You can then shrink yourself down to actually explore the creation you just built. I felt a sense that I hadn’t felt since I was a kid. Just pure unadulterated excitement, forgetting all the concerns about life temporarily.

You actually swing your sword and hold your shield when fighting monsters (that are as tall as you). You all will know how scary a creeper sneaking up behind you is. I can assure you all it’s even more scary in VR lol. I got a bow and actually used both my hands to pull back an arrow and snipe a giant spider. Even mining is more fun now that I actually swing a pick to break the blocks.
If you’re wondering how movement works, there are many options you can set to move around the world, although the one I like best is Run-in-place movement. It might seem a little weird at first walking in place but it becomes quite natural quickly.

Anyway, I guess the point of this is because I couldn’t conceal my excitement, and that you all need to order a Vive virtual reality set. Then we can start a VR Minecraft sever together.

Also I'd love to do a hardcore playthrough with some people here at some point. Something similar to this series.

Basically we're all on skype or discord, but when you die and are out of the server, you also leave the conversation. It really creates a neat atmosphere where death is legit. (For the survivors at least.)

[Fluminator]

It looks like a major session just recently finished. Sad I missed it. If you guys are looking for a more interesting type of play-through, the hardcore I mentioned is definitely the most thrilling way to play the game.

I'm losing the interest to play this game.
Holy crap farming endermen takes forever.

I mean we've had some good times but I didn't imagine this would turn into a multi-week affair.
Like, I'll be online if people are online through Sunday.

And then after that if there's a day or something for The End when we just SOUND THE CHARGE then great.
But I have no interest playing this by myself so I will basically only log on if people are here.

Enderman farming isn't too bad if you have a good enchanted sword, or you make a base in the desert where a crapton of enderman spawn.

[Klazam]

I'm the only one here who has a vive. i can confirm its amazing.

you can connect to a nonvivecraft server while playing vivecraft, so i'd encourage you do that with the existing vanilla server instead of seeking to fragment the playerbase here.

[Fluminator]

Oh, that's awesome too.

[Andrius]

I mean.
Prozac and I both die ALL THE TIME so Hardcore sounds fun but pretty darn impossible.

[Klazam]

M and i arent gonna do a hardcore events server thing, not a long term one at least

Next weekend will be something fun! what time slot EST on saturday or sunday works best for everyone? we can run it on both dates if necessary

[Fluminator]

Hardcore is hard, and usually everyone dies before wining (which is part of the fun). It's very possible though, as most deaths are quite avoidable.
Although considering when people die they're out, it probably wouldn't work as an event, and it would have to be a separate server which would be harder to set up.

[T-Bone]

hey when are you losers gonna put me back on the whitelist

[davesaz]

Modded or vanilla, and mc name?

[My Milked Eek]

Am I still on the whitelist? And what's the IP of the latest vanilla server?
