    Whitelist Server Volition Gaming - A Family Friendly Server [New World, Plugins, Dedicated, 24/7, and more]

    The second option is the one I can use from work. I've set up a modest subscription and noticed that your (Staxed's) full name and gmail address is revealed during the check-out with PayPal. Just a heads up in case you don't want that information out there.

    I see the URL has changed. I received your message in my email: So I went there and registered and tried to enter the General Discussion forum, but clicking on any of those would redirect me to your "coming soon" page. Sorry if I jumped the gun. :)

    I'm in, woot! The forum links redirect to your volitiongaming.com site. Not being pushy, just confirming my account creation and making sure I'm seeing what you expect your users to see.

    Whenever you're able to open the server, my super-secret Minecraft user name is "whd23" I happen to be away from my house now, but if the server is open I might be able to login later.

    Aw, sweet! The mining program I wrote (inspired by the YouTube video series "ComputerCraft Challenge") mines straight down examning each side of the hole for ores and returns to the start when it bottoms out. I had a more sophistcated version that would attempt to mine in a similar fashion on...

    I have some utility programs for my turtles that aren't strictly mining programs. For example: I often use a turtle to hollow out a room in a hill or underground so I don't have to deal with the tedium; would that sort of program be allowed in the overworld?

    Yup, I could probably do that too. I suppose as long as HTTP access is enabled it should work, some servers disable that access so that people don't download programs written by other people. The argument being that turtles are "OP" when used with pre-written programs and that the cost of...

    Sounds great, I'm looking forward to punching some wood! BTW: If the server will have ComputerCraft and turtles enabled, would it be possible for you to copy in some of my programs to the .../computer/... directory structure on the server? I'd hate to print-out and retype my programs as the...

    To be fair, it may be a configuration in my Unity environment that kept the auto-launch of the browser from working for ATLauncher. I'm not blaming the software and it might work 100% for folks on Windows, OSX, or other Linux variants (or with the right browser settings).

    Ouch. I just installed the ATLauncher and kicked off an instance of RR. Perhaps it's because I'm running on Ubuntu and using Chrome, but I had to download 13 mods manually. ATLauncher said it was opening the browser to the download source, but it did not. So each mod was a Google search...

    No personal experience with RR, but I've also heard good things about it. Paging through the mod list it would appear I'd have a lot of learning to do (that's OK) but I didn't see anything that I'd be missing or that I wouldn't want to have. Edit: I'd still like to see Enchanting Plus, though.

    Staxed, How would you feel about Enchanting Plus? I hate the random enchant mechanism. Is there a way you could restrict the creation of Mystcraft worlds while still allowing the use of linking books? I love me some linking book + nether hub world navigation. Regarding using a custom...

    Hey Staxed, I get an error when following your link: Feed the Beast - Error You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

    How do you handle admin/op privileges on a server...when everyone helps pay for it?

    Which is why I have trouble when it comes to voting in an election. The fact that the candidates want the job is a disqualifier in my opinion.

    Count me and my son (although less so) among those interested. I feel kind of guilty about it because I do have a server. But my interest in doing admin is much, much less than actually playing. Case in point: last night I had the choice between working with ForgeEssentials or playing on my...

    Sorry if I was unclear. I'm not attempting to define the rules/guidelines for your server at all. I was just trying to get a discussion going regarding what users might like to have as the rules on a "Family Friendly" server before such a server was opened for players. I'm still kicking...

    Staxed: I'm offering this out of ignorance, but this seems like it would be appropriate: ForgeEssentials For all members interested in a family-friendly server, what rules/guidelines do you think would make a server family-friendly? Some things that I would like to see: No swearing...

    Staxed - May I ask what you're doing to the server? I've got a FTB Direwolf20 1.5.2 server up and running and I'm trying to figure out what other mods would make for a happy server experience. Your and Indie's posts were very timely as I had just gotten the server running last night and...

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    Getting to the nether requires only four iron and one flint. Make a bucket and mold a nether portal in-place with ten buckets of lava and one bucket of water, flint and steel to ignite. You can actually do it with just the bucket if you use a flammable block inside the nether portal frame and...

    Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. I've got a server subscription but I'm not really making use of it. Maybe I'll scan this thread to find family-friendly players to invite. On the other hand, I don't really want the job of doing admin and dealing with user's requests or potential...
