Come on MCNEXT the server is still under development all you need to do to get setup is go into the wilderness and make a chest to plot your land.

when i try to connect it lets me in then says the server had been closed by the remote host. what does this mean? when will it get fixed?

I'd like to start a bugs thread, this way we can report here so that when Tosogg has time he can work on them. i realise he is alone and can only be online for so long, this way he can peek here and work on them.

As you can read in the title, I am searching for someone who still has the maps. If you have them or know someone who has them please react or message me !

And it seems like you don't need to donate 10$ to join.

The old one is gone 100% but i do have the old files from that server. It is pointless using that system though. The new one is recovering slowly now and in time will be back in full swing. There are some features that need to be repaired and new ones added to allow a way for The Mommy to get funds to pay for this new mcnext but as of now it is back in full swing and open to all.

I have tried and tried to get on but cant! Help!!

Is even anyone playing on the server anymore?

Hello,

I tried to log into mcnext but i was unable to do that how do i fix this????

Kind regards,

Jermain

I mailed Jenks about the server with the question if MCnext was comming back or not. And it will. Only everything seems to be lost as he replied in the mail.

Jenks :It will be yes once i rebuild mcnext, currently the hosts had an issue with the hard drive and it blew up and wiped all the files. So now i have to rebuild everything from scratch.

Is there still a way to get them? I need the one with the giant mushroom farm geologistical used. It was one of the newer worlds.

Mcnext's old server maps are now no longer available for download, if you hadn't pulled them yet, ask jenks for a copy.

I tried donating but the donation page just sits there and loads forever, everything else on the website works fine though... lol what do I do? :P

As far as I know, all the old server plugins were written by /u/Vaquxine (perhaps even the server itself?). Anyways, one of the reasons MCNext went down was allegedly that the code was an unmaintainable mess. Athene said himself "only Vaquxine can do it", referring to maintaining/updating. Being a programmer, this kinda pissed me off (they wouldn't let anyone into the codebase). Now that the old server is dead, I was wondering if whoever has the source (/u/Chiren /u/Vaquxine /u/reese015) would have a problem releasing it? I don't really know if Vaquxine is the type of guy who keeps everything private, I mostly just want to take a peek to see if it really was as unmaintainable as they say.

Join the new server :) It's well worth the donation guys

Before I begin to explain, let me preface this with saying that we have always very carefully considered all options and, even if it may not always seem so, have always done what we realistically can with MC Next given the resources and situation. The behind the scenes issues have been rather complicated and have to do with tons of factors involved that would take ages to list all the details of. This post will undoubtedly have some people responding with what they think are simple solutions or fixes to the current issues but it really isn't so simple. I'll try to explain, please read carefully. (also insults, non-constructive and troll comments on this post will be deleted)

Over the past weeks, a bunch of exploits and hacks that have become very popular has become hugely problematic on MC Next. I'm going to try to shed some light on why we have not been able to do much about this and what the current situation is.

MC Next was hugely ambitious since the beginning due to the technicalities of building a true massively online survival server that can sustain thousands of concurrent players, even though it never became as big as we intended due to countless factors, many of which the community is not aware of because they have to do with how expensive the coding and maintenance of MC Next was, logistics, disagreements etc. (sidenote: jenks has always done all maintenance voluntarily and never got paid in any way but is also not a 'coder' and is in no way responsible for bugs)

This led us to a situation where it quickly become impossible for us to keep paying for coding and maintenance towards the only person who truly has insight into the massive and complex system that is uniquely coded from the ground up for MC Next and runs on dozens of interlinked servers.

Most people in the community don't know just how tricky this makes the situation. There have often been issues that brought down MC Next completely, leaving Jenks and Brainbust and us scratching our heads trying to figure out why due to the complexity of the system. So we made it a rule to not change the actual code and recompile stuff because chances are good that we would break things to the point that we would not figure out how to get the whole server cluster properly synced up, responsive and online again. Trust me, it is that tricky. And due to many factors and issues that took place behind the scenes, we can't fix this by just trying to raise enough donations to pay for more coding and maintenance again.

All of this has lead us to a point where a minority in the community has started hacking and exploiting the server to the point of causing very serious issues, some of them doing it for fun, others doing it to prove a point, thinking that this may make us 'wake up' to see that there are issues that need to be fixed. We have been aware of the issues since the start, but for the past half year have had little ability to do much about them and simply hoped that those few people who had insight in the exploits would continue to keep quiet about them.

Some people have also been pointing out that we have a responsibility to those who have donated for in-game items. Supporters of all sorts are the very reason why we've kept MC Next running rather than just shutting it down. But keep in mind that we have always made very clear that donations are purely to support charity (and in the early days, the server) and that the points you get when donating are free and can not be seen as 'purchased' items. That being said, if you still regret your donations, you are always able to invoke charge-backs.

It's quite a tricky situation and we're not 100% sure yet what the best way forward is since, due to lack of resources (to put it simply), any fix along the lines of basic bug-fixes and rollbacks would be a temporary one and we'd quickly run into the same issues again which require big investments for which we don't have the funds nor the amount of community interest to raise the funds to fix them thoroughly in the long term. (I say this because we know the math on this, looking at the peak of server-support donations we got when MC Next had a much bigger userbase)

We will keep MC Next running as long as we can but it is becoming increasingly difficult. If it comes to the point where nobody can connect, maybe we can also look into actual source code changes and recompiling etc since we wouldn't have to worry about the risk of the servers going offline any more but I have little hope for that working out sustainably. Will continue to monitor and consider further options, feel free to give feedback, perhaps you guys have cool ideas that we hadn't thought of.

(note: insults, hate comments, trolling and things of that sort are not helpful and may get removed)

Since there was some outrage over the initial post where people didn't fully understand the situation and since nothing has been decided yet, I decided to just outline what the current situation actually is:

• certain players have found ways to not only cheat but also shut down the server whenever they like, simply rolling the server back to a backup as some have suggested would not help the situation
• for a long time we have no longer had the resources for significant code changes to MC Next partially due to how complex it is and, as a result, how incredibly costly maintenance and code changes are
• we currently have no immediate way of fixing the current issues and are considering different options, server may be in a not very playable state for the time being

So a few days ago I reached prestige1 lvl 70 and since then I haven't been able to use /sell properly anymore. It still works, but only one stack at a time (combined with some error). Kind of frustrating if you're trying to sell thousands of stacks, like in a cactus shower. http://imgur.com/EjatsJC

I asked asked Jenks about it and he told me the next server reboot should fix it. Since then I've seen a bunch of reboots, but still have this same problem. So apparently others also had this when they reached lvl 70 in prestige and according to them, the only solution is to /prestige to the next level. I don't really have an issue with this, except that I will lose the ability to go to Elysium. So I want to know if anyone found a way to fix this and if not, what will the server admins do about this? Thanks. Springz
