At last the LANBox Minecraft server is back up and running with some new blood to keep things rolling. The server will be continuing from a map created by the players from my old server, Crazy Gaming Survival. If you're interested in joining in the fun or just want a little more info read on after the break.

First I would like to say a BIG thank you to blaknite for keeping the bill paid so we could bring the Minecraft side of the community something to sink their picks in to. So next time you come across blaknite in a chat or post somewhere remember to say a big THANK YOU.

The Minecraft server is running Bukkit and will be updated on a weekly to fortnightly basis depending on available Bukkit releases and fixes. Of course some updates may be delayed due to plugin compatibility issues. Thanks to the wonders of Bukkit we are also able to run plugins (Or Mods if you will) and these are listed below along with the server address.

Server Address: 203.98.81.249:25615
Note: Server is running permissions; you need to be added to this list before you can place/remove blocks. Contact me, Crazy_muffins, to get on the list.

Current Plugins/Mods:
  • AntiCreeper - Stops creeper explosions from destroying blocks. Players still die!
  • AutoAnnouncer - Used to post automated announcements in the general chat area.
  • Colors - A mod which is being used to help players see who is an Admin and who is not.
  • DeathNotifier - Posts a funny notification in chat when a player dies.
  • DynMap - A live map of minecraft viewable in a web-browser. (Currently not operational)
  • ExpPlugin - Allows for custom amounts of Exp to drop from mobs.
    iConomy - Economy mod. (Currently not being used however will be in future updates)
  • Essentials - A heap of commands and ability’s for administrators such as weather control.
  • KRegions - Allows areas to be defined as a Region such as 'Spawn' and 'PvP'. Displays on Dynmap and in the Spout Client.
  • Spout - Allows for cool features such as pop up messages. (Currently not operational due to new update)
  • ScubaKit - The better helmet you wear the longer you can stay under water.
  • kFeatherTeleport - Allows Admins to teleport around the world using a feather. Who would have guessed?
  • NoEnderman - Stops Enderman from picking up blocks, cute little bastards!
  • porte coulissante - Allows players to create working Portcullis gates using wood/iron fence and some redstone. (Ask Crazy_Muffins for help if you get stuck)

Security Plugins/Mods:
  • InvLog - Logs ALL players inventories. Updates every second and keeps information in log files for each player.
  • OpenInv - Allows an Administrator to view your current inventory.
  • SuperLog - Tracks block removal and placement. If you remove a block or place one (Inc. water, lava and tnt) an Admin can track the player responsible.

Note: Please keep in mind that the Security plugins are restricted and cannot be viewed or used by most players and admins.

If you have any suggestions for a plugin you think may work well on the server please let Crazy_Muffins know either on The LANBox or ingame.

As we'll no doubt have many players all with their own ideas things are bound to get a little nasty from time to time. Please read the rules below, if you do not follow these rules you risk being banned. Simple.

Rules:
  1. Never abuse or backchat an Admin player. If their name is in Red or has Admin before it, think twice!
  2. Don't steal from other players, friends or enemy’s. We are people not squirrels...
  3. No PvP between players unless the players involved have a) Agreed to it, b) Entered a PvP zone.
  4. No Griefing. Do not place/remove blocks on or close to things that are not yours! This can and will be tracked. Don't do it.
  5. Don't build stupidly close to other players. The world expands as you explore, get off your arse!

As the Minecraft server is part of The LANBox it is open to all trustworthy members, however, this is not a right. If you are deemed to be misbehaving you will have a chance to explain your side of the story/issue. I will talk with ALL admins and obtain a vote from each as to the action to be taken. Temp bans may be made without Admin vote.

All bans can be appealed, however if you have done something you were told not to then don't get your hopes up!

We at The LANBox aim to create a fun and safe world for you all to build, please keep in mind that other people are playing.

You can see if anyone is online on our servers page. I hope to see you all online soon!

Update - 16/02/2012
We have had a few issues with getting people on the right path to be added to the server's permissions list. Below are a few contact details for me which should make it easier for everyone! :P
