Everyone is using Spigot aka buildtools atm if im not mistaken bukkit isnt being deved on anymore spigot changed the code so its not illegal to use it anymore.

ps. Spigot is basically optimized bukkit

I am pretty sure Spigot is still using some of Wolf's code, but they are hosting in in some country with no copyright laws or something like that.

Yeah i'm aware of spigot, thanks for your replys!

I've been away from Minecraft for a long while now and i'm wondering what the standard server software is being used by the community?

It used to be bukkit but now that's gone, whats everyone using nowadays?

Thanks.

Oh, now I can actually read it.

I like RPG type servers, and I think I will join the server some day...

Does it have survival?

What other plugins does it has? I am very curios!

Plugins: (I also be adding Nocheat and preciousstones)
WorldEdit, LockTime, Vault, ProtocolLib, HealthBar, Multiverse-Core, PermissionsEx, WorldGuard, TabAPI, Essentials, TabConfig, SimpleRegionMarket, Citizens, CommandSigns, Denizen, EssentialsSpawn, ItemRenamer, Sentry, pvparena, TreasureChest, Enjin Minecraft Plugin, EssentialsChat, DtlCitizensTrader

Thats what im trying to solve my self is to add a survival aspect to the server to make it less restricting. The server wont be out for another 2 months MINIMUM. I have much to build and setup in the RP world.

Anyway, the first thought that occurred to me was lack of a survival world, but... well, that is your choice, really. (what sort of new skills are there?)

I was thinking of putting the plot+survival world into one. Players can build where ever and protect there builds with Preciousstones, thoughts?

That's what i was thinking aswell might be a bit to restricting for players. Any thought about how i could integrate a survival gameplay into the server?

Hello,

I really like the idea of the server but here is some advice I would like to give;

Try to make custom mobs and plugins
Make the quest interesting (not just something players have to do to earn levels or money)
Make unique mini-games (Spleef, paint ball and hunger games are to overused)
The server texture option is a great tool which you should use
Do not buy cheap server hosting (If you spend time building a server and it is laggy no one will play it)

I hope my suggestions are to harsh. Good luck and if you need any help with custom plugins I may be able to help.

EDIT:

Just some extra things I thought I would suggest -
If you want to advertise your server you will have to use some tricks like paying your players to vote for the server, saying you are looking for new moderators so people will post on you forum which will bump it up.

Thanks for all the tips
I'm aiming for custom plugins and when you say custom mobs do you mean fully new enemies or just zombies with different drops, stats etc..
I'll be having tasks and quests. Tasks will be the boring kill 20 zombies for X prize and quests where you have to do like a mission by raiding or doing something cool.
I'm already using the server texture with a few custom blocks and custom item textures

Please, remove formatting. It hurts the eyes, and it is really n00by.

The server sounds cute.

Sorry! i just noticed i copied it from else where
Thanks for your reply

Before i put more work into my server what would you say about it? complicated, good, bad, etc..

I'll try to keep it short.
Its a roleplay server themed as starwars that runs off a custom plugin (and others).

Worlds
- Survival/building world
Default survival world where people can build anywhere and protect there builds manually.
- Roleplay
All the quests, shops, mobs etc are here
- Minigame
Arena's and scenery are here

SWRP Plugin
Classes
Each class has its own special weapons,armor, and skills
Parties
Just like every other RPGMMO you can create parties and the exp is shared
Skills
At a special level-up you will gain a new skills or skill upgrade skills are basically powers or buffs
Levels
Each level will unlock the permission of a new weapon, armor, skill or skill upgrade
Other
Bosses, custom drops, custom exp.

I'm setting up different chapters to progress through. Each chapter will contain a whole new area,(like a different planet) new quests, more variety to items in shops and loot. The RP area's will be enclosed so you cannot explore beyond the man made structures/terrain. It will also have pvp arena's: ffa, tdm, ctf, same old etc...

What i'd like to know:
What could be changed or improved?
Is there a better way to layout the server? (Plots, chapters, worlds)
After finishing the currently built chapters what can players do?
Anything missing from a normal RP server that should be here??
Is it too restricting or complicated for players?
Should i keep the theme but do factions, survival or..?

Reply if you need more info thanks

Im on 1.5.2 minecraft
I've setup a 32x32 texture pack for my server and some textures just go really weird while other parts of the map are fine. Texturepack works 100% in singleplayer..


Anyone know a fix about this issue?

Quote from frits191

Well, have you tried updating the texture pack which everyone has to download? it might be corrupted somehow.
Otherwise there isn't really a fix, besides I have never heard of people too lazy to download a texture pack for a server

whatever you choose to do, I'm afraid that's as far as I can help you.
Best of luck!

Hmm ill have ago at repacking it do you think it being 32x32 is the issue? 1.5 did bring out support for 32x32+ (HD)Texturepacks

Quote from frits191

Okay I think I know what you mean.
Well, if you still have problems you could always try and ask everyone to separately download the texture pack, it will definitely work that way.

Nah not everyone will be bothered. Im trying to make it easy and its a RP server so the texturepack is highly recommended :/

Quote from frits191

huh? I don't really get what you mean.
You said your texture pack works perfectly except when playing on that server correct?

But now you said you need it enabled otherwise it won't work perfectly on the server? So It does work?
I'm confused

I've set this texturepack to download when players join. But its all glitchy as you can see in the pictures.

But by putting the .zip in my texturepacks folder and enabling it and joining a single player world it works perfectly.

Quote from frits191

Try disabling "Server Textures" in your options menu.

I need this enabled for the server texturepack. The texturepack works 100% everywhere except downloading it and enabling it through the server.

Bump
