Band of the Brave Minecraft server!

Well, look at that! I set up a server for the guild!

It's hosted privately on my personal computer, so -some- downtime may be expected. However, I don't think I've turned my computer off since some time in January, so it should be manageable.

So far, Kysah has taken the precaution of constructing a tiny sandstone hut in the hill by spawn. It contains a crafting block and a stone furnace and we'd all really appreciate it if everybody could agree to leave that all intact.

I've decided to make it a public server, ie. you don't need to have your name put in a whitelist to join it. However, it's still very much a server meant for the GUILD, and so I'd appreciate it if you run it by me before dragging all your friends onto this server. If this becomes a problem, I'll change it to a whitelist system. So far, I know Erwt is bringing his girlfriend and sister-in-law, and I'm gonna bring a brother or two: This is fine, and you can do that too, just run it by me first and make sure the person behaves.

Server IP: 85.27.198.110

I've started building my castle right next to the starting area, so you can run in there for a safe-house. I don't mind someone stealing a few iron to build some tools, but other then that please respect my things.

TIP FOR EXPLORING CAVES:
Always place torches on your right hand side.
That way you can always find your way back home by following the torches back. Torches on your left hand means going home, torches on your right means going deeper in.

where and how do i get minecraft?

Right here:

20 euros.

This house is mine. Feel free to take a look at the inside, but PLEASE GOD PLEASE DO NOT BREAK ANY GLASS TILES IN IT.

I am building the biggest tower. You can't miss it.

News: The server crashed and was unable to read the server files. I haven't been able to salvage anything. Server is gone and restarted itself. Those who want to rebuild can feel free to poke me for creative mode to recover what they lost.

RIP our giant-ass tower.

Over 7000 blocks of cobblestone went into you. You will always be remembered.

R.I.P.

Never forget

I didn't even screenshot my glorious creation. And I had such fun plans for it! There where going to be walls! Sky bridged! Connecting thigs! Crooket towers! Farm 2.0!

GAH!

As said, if you want to rebuild, I'll put you in creative mode so you can recover what you've lost.

The thrill of Minecraft is in survival mode, though. I'd rather start over on a fresh server and build whole new and exciting things. I've never even played creative, it just strikes me as a bit too easy. I find it very fulfilling to go down into my quarry, mine two pic-axes worth of cobblestone and then build stuff, figuring out little tricks and techniques with scaffolding and careful planning. It's good stuff.

But if we start over, what's the guarantee it won't crash again?

Because, while I was unable to save the files, I know what caused the crash and I've taken measures to foolproof that.

Well, we've been up and running again for a while now, and I'm starting to be pretty content with the buildings that have been sprouting from the ground like mushrooms. Very good!

and the underground city im making! long rise the city of gnomeregan!

Okay, I know I said "no strangers", but I broke my own rule.

I invited a friend of mine to the server, he plays as Chyandum or something like that. We used to play a lot of minecraft when we still lived together. He now works full-time as a teacher during the weeks, I spend almost all weekends with my girlfriend... We don't get to see each-other that often. I thought playing minecraft would be a fun activity to do while we chat and catch up on skype.

And I was right! It totally was.

So if you've got any dear friends that you trust and want to invite to come play, just do it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm glad glorious leader is generous enough to make such open ended rules for the server that I'm running on my computer

(Ps I'm kidding)

Just felt like I should explain who "that guy" was, you know.

I realize my authority only exists because you guys let me have it.

Well, so far we've had "that guy", your girlfriend, my brother and Tarlin's friend on the server :p As I said in the OP, if you want outsiders on the server, it's cool. Just run it by me before giving them the IP. I like to know what people it is.

BEHOLD

Joining in with the showing off thing!

The top looks familiar...

I suspect they are actually building a giant submarine.

Or is it.. Rapture?
