? This seems random but nice
- We wanted to make something like this for a long time ;) Just lately we had time for it.
  As you will probably see and guess it is aiming for a relaxed environment and less pvp focused.

Hey ya! Let me add this to the /c/Minecraft sidebar :)
- Thank you :)
- It's not there?

Missed oppotunity with not calling it minecraft.world, though I imagine that has probably already been taken lol
- It seems to be available actually. I suppose they could use it if they wanted but I'm not sure how much it costs.
  
  I think the lemmy.world mods would rather keep their arms and legs, instead of using them to pay for a premium minecraft domain lol

Oh my god. We did it!

You guys should use a grief alert system instead of claims. And claiming should be done by building something.
- grief alert would only become more moderator work. As it would just notify instead of really claiming anything and you would have to dig down to bedrock and build it up to secure a chunk or some of it.
  
  Though it allows for more freedom. Instead of finding some cool-looking landscape only for it to be claimed even though nothing has been built there, you can build anywhere someone else hasn't.
- yeah that's my preferred way to play. it feels more like a community that way as opposed to a neighborhood run by an HOA lol. buuuut it is a lot to moderate so I understand why claims would be good for a server with a large playerbase
- I've been playing bedrock for a little while, but I'm new to servers. Is there a guide somewhere for claiming on bedrock?
  
  Claiming is a Java mod, so it's not possible in Vanilla Bedrock.

Oh I'd love to participate, but where do I get the time from? 😭
- I will sell you time! It's like not worth it though. I charge $65/hr

What is the average age on this instance? Maybe I was too old already when Minecraft came out, but I thought it was a game for 10 year olds.
- I'm 40. Minecraft is so good. I play harbored games mostly like Elite Dangerous and a ton of RTS or FPS games. Minecraft is different but it's magic.
- Me and my army buddies all discovered the alpha version of Minecraft in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan. One of our Intel guys brought it back on an external drive from R&R and we all installed it on our laptops. Soon, the entire camp was playing it when off shift, including old, crusty infantry platoon sergeants. It's an ageless, timeless kind of game. Like someone else said, it's like building stuff with Legos.
  
  it's like building stuff with Legos.
  I got Minecraft when it was still in beta, for exactly that reason. I was in college, I had some free time, and I liked messing around with the demo - it reminded me of all of the fun I had playing with Legos as a kid. I think it cost me maybe $15?
  Now, a decade later, I still play it fairly often, and given all of the content that's come out since then, it might be the most worthwhile $15 I've ever spent.
- 44 and I play with my 9 year old 🫡
  
  So around 27 🤣
- I'm 50. But my kids of 9 and 10 are also on the server.
- If it was a game for 10 years old, and it's been 10 years from release, then we get 20 years olds :) Also its like Lego, anyone can enjoy it
- There's no age limit for enjoying things. I made that mistake once, and I realised afterwards that those enjoyable things make me feel alive.
- You're never too old to start enjoying things. It's nice to escape from being an adult for a while and just have fun.
- I see old people on the minecraft server but young ones too :) You are welcome ;)
- Not until PewDiePie showed it to them 🙄

I can't fucking believe people are just allowed to swear up in this removed. Gone are the good ol days when a motherfucker was safe from the shitty reality of the world and it's fucking pottymouth when they logged into a Minecraft server....

Nice. I'd kinda like to see games like Minecraft become more like the Fediverse, where you could walk between worlds hosted on different servers in-game
- I'm pretty sure server connections themselves are mostly P2P so that would be difficult, might be doable though since there are plugins to allow hopping between multiple worlds on a single server but that's very different than hopping between multiple servers.

I played minecraft with people on that other site, after they invited me to the 100somethingClub. And then some guy who told me he was high on cocaine kept greifing me for no reason.
- the public server experience. If you don't encounter someone high out of their gourds, you haven't played enough.
  
  That's usually me lol. I don't tend to be an asshole though griefing is annoying as hell
- Isn't the internet great?!

Been quite busy with work recently, hopefully I remember this server in a weeks time

Is there an open source option to Minecraft? Some of the latest decisions Microsoft has been taking with it have been quite anti-consumer.
- Minetest.
  
  Minetest running Mineclone2 specifically for meee
  Edit: mineclone2
- Yes there is, it's called Mintest!
  
  Minetest is an opensource voxel game engine. The minecraft-like game made with that engine is called Mineclone2.
- There's minetest, but don't expect compatibility with Minecraft servers.
- What decisions? Legit question, it's been a while since I last played.
  
  Forcing migration to Microsoft account and the deleting Mojang accounts, forcing chat reporting in all servers along Mojang's rules, even servers not hosted by Mojang, banning 'mature' themed servers - and more
  
  That Chat Filter, EULA changes etc.

Bro I gotta get get laptop fixed

Can't wait to check it out! It's been a hot minute since I've played with others on Minecraft
- You are welcome :)

Cool, I needed a good reason to open Minecraft again

This is a great idea 👍
Nice work! I look forward to checking it out very soon.
I haven’t played in a long long time, so I can’t recommend something specific, but any plans to add one of those experience-based progression mods? It might help people identify more trustworthy players long term.

Any mod (packs)?
- Nope, not for now but in the faaaaar future possibly
  
  Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for, but I appreciate the response.

Really a missed opportunity to not run and promote a Minetest server (with Mineclone2 or similar).
- You are absolutely right. I don't even have a microsoft account so good luck with playing minecraft...
  
  So a Microsoft amount is free, yeah...?
- 🤡
  
  LOL how did a clown emoji user get approved 🤣 that's new

This sounds fun! Can't wait to make some map art and tunes in there!!
Anyone know how big world border is?
- Vanilla big

Now we just need a Veloren server 🤔
- Or a Minetest server.

Oh that's pretty nice.

Do we need a Mojang account?
- Isn't microsoft and mojang merged now?
  
  Yes. I ignored all their emails so probably lost my license from alpha lol.

I would like to have modded
- We could arrange something like that in the future XD

I'm excited! But why not Minetest? :p
- Because of convinience :) and moderation tools + plugins available + performance/stability.
  
  True... the trouble with open source is that nobody's getting paid to add features you want, huh.

Is the server going to be accessible to people who play on TLauncher or other cracked minecraft launchers?
- Edit: ok, as long as the game is not owned by some evil company.
  Changed my mind a bit. God damn Microsoft suck a shit company. Keep your money and pirate minecraft
  
  Meh, I wouldn't really care now that Microsoft owns it
  
  I mean since it's Microsoft now it's not really a big deal, also after they introduced the chat reporting featu6 which was (and still is to an extent) easy to abuse by malicious actors.
  I know that debates about chat reporting tend to get very ugly and hostile so I'll just link to videos explaining the problem, rather than dive into a heated debate (I won't debate with people, and I certainly won't respond to ad-hominems or baseless accusations).
  Video 1
  Video 2
  Video 3
  (Not YewTube or piped links, sorry)
  Though I will say running a cracked or Offline server is much harder and requires more effort and using an Alternate Service like ely.by to authenticate users means it's harder for people to join, so I know why most people aren't committed to doing it. It's either too much effort or way too limiting.
  
  I bought both minecraft version on PC, but I use TL launcher, I prefer it to the main one.
- Nope.

Sounds great! I'd love to join if I was still playing.

Appreciate it, but why not Minetest? It is open source and more customizable than Minecraft.
- It's a completely different game lol. It's like announcing a chess tournament and saying why not minesweeper.
  
  I swear the most annoying part of lemmy are the people who think all open source options are better than all closed source.
- 🤡

Bro can someone explain what's this? Like I know Minecraft is some sort of game but is this same ? Like playing together ?,
- Yes

I won't play since it's with protection plugins. I'm not a Greifer but this is lame
- No worries, you can grief somewhere else :)
- No worries

How about instead of a Minecraft server, you do your own version of r/PAN instead? That was one of the only good things to come out of reddit and I miss it dearly.
- Hosting a Minecraft server is an immensely easier task than implementing a livestream service, lol
