Will the server be updating to 1.5 soon? I want to get on and build, but my sister, who shares my account, updated Minecraft and I'm too lazeh to figure out how to downgrade. If not, I'm sure you guys will be fine without me
It's actually extremely easy to downgrade. You have a few options. I personally just use "Minecraft Version Changer" to swap between any version. There are also various launchers like Magic Launcher that can do this for you.
On another note, I applied for builder, hope I get accepted. I may not be the best builder (Though I am not that bad :P), but I have a loooot of spare time. (Especially from now until monday)
Cppdude, though I can not use voice communication, I can listen in on what you are saying, and would consider myself quite a fast typer when it comes to responding. Have you read this whole thread and taken a peak at our official thread?: Numerous times.
Do you have experience building Prison-like builds, or Prison servers in particular?:
I have experience building some basic prison-like builds. I also have quite a bit of prison server experience, as they are pretty much the only servers I play .
How experienced are you with building?:
I have quite a bit of building experience, with different servers I have thrown together for friends, just fun creative builds, and more. I consider myself a mediocre builder. I wouldn't say I am an outstanding builder, but I am also not terrible.
Why do you want to help build Mooch Penitentiary?:
I want to help because I think the server will go far, and it is a good feeling when you know that you helped make something good, when you are part of something big, not just a player. The perks are also nice
Please post a few (only one to three) screenshots of builds you have created
(Please only post original builds):
C-Block of a prison server I threw together while messing around. Cells are overhanging the central area, lava pool in the middle. Pretty basic. EDIT: I was planning some mossy cobblestone spread through the flooring, but never got around to doing it.
Birds-Eye shot of the C-Block.
Entrance of the prison. Inside is Elite Block
View of the Elite cells with low render distance, the fog adds a nice touch
P.S Texture Pack is Defscape 64x64
There have been maybe 3 times in total that I have let my mob count get past 600. Usually I am pretty good at killing them before it even gets to 400. The one most recent time was when I was up late playing, and fell asleep without logging my alt off. I apologised and proceeded to kill the mobs.
Limiting three spawners to each grinder would just force people to make loopholes. For example; A double spawner and a triple spawner next to eachother that feed in to the same room. Or, have two seperate grinders with two alts afking at it. Restricting the amount of spawners people can buy would just make the server take a massive blow to the amount of donations it gets.
I have came up with quite a few ideas to solve this issue. One being just an hourly or every other hour have a mob wipe. Give people a warning at the 10 or 5 minute marks. Another thing for the people with big spawners, make an auto-kill feature. It fits in to a small 11x11x11 pstone, and can be timed to kill the mobs whenever. For example, if you don't care about loot, time how long it takes to get 130 mobs, and make it kill them every time 130 mobs are there.
EDIT: Luccehs suggestion is good too. Though, I can already find a loophole to it.
Arrows are purchasable for about 12.96 each. Unless you want arrows to be incredibly expensive then you'll accept the sell price. I see no reason why gunpowder is only 10. I guess it could be raised.
I would like to point out that at the moment, the only truely viable source of money, is netherwart farming.
Sheep - Not worth it due to mob wipes killing hours of breeding
Spawners - Kind of gambling, they only make good profit if you get lucky
Pumpkins - Would require so many pstones, probably wouldnt worth it in the end
I would rather have to pay 4x more for arrows, and be able to also sell them 4x more, then have it at the system we currently have.. Bones are 20$ each, spider drops are 20$ each, why not arrows?

Damn it has been a long time. Well, atleast 5 months.

Yeah. It is mainly an NA based server at the moment. You probably just came on at an inconvenient time. Hopefully we get some more players soon!

I wish people would read it instead of just skipping to the application. We need more people building

I have never let it get to 2000 mobs. The highest I have ever had it is 1100 mobs, which was when I fell asleep.
To all the people telling me that penta and octos are useless, please, feel free to enlighten me on how it is useless or 'too much'.

Ban this hacker. He obviously has nodus. :P.
Suggestion: Arrows are sold for the same as other mob drops.
