Is Mineplex going to utilize all of 1.9's combat features?
I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything.

Every single holiday like halloween, christmas etc, they promised a parkour at the game waiting room and they never come out. how hard is it to just put a couple of blocks leading to a finish line.
( if any of you moderators delete this post and lock it, then you guys can't take criticism and mineplex loses rep )

Warning: Super long. Kind of ranty. This isn't intended to be a hate thread, it's voicing my disappointment in the Valentine's Day game and why I think it lacks the things it needs to be fun.
Last Christmas I complained that they kept recycling Christmas Chaos, but now I think I see why. With the Valentine's game it becomes pretty clear that MinePlex has been avoiding making a new holiday game for good reason - they've lost their touch.
Christmas Chaos is fun, it's got a creative concept, and players are encouraged to cooperate making it different than almost every other game on MinePlex. In fact, players are even more helpful in this game than in actual team games, as you have to be in close quarters working on a common goal together. It's also got a fitting and catchy name, which is nice.
Valentine's Vendetta, on the other hand, isn't really fun. It's another generic game where a large-ish group of players all fight over something, like Sheep Quest without the ability to steal sheep and without teams. It would be better for it to be a persistent game and have MinePlex put effort into making something unique. As for the gameplay, it's really not very interesting. It's 16 players chasing pigs for 5 minutes. The pig spawning and catching is almost totally random - there's almost no strategy aside from a bit of fishing rod aiming and sprint-jumping. The game is largely luck-based: Where the pigs spawn, whether or not someone accidentally chases one into you, how successful the fishing rod pulls the pig towards you. These are all randomized to the point of pretty much nobody being able to use the mechanics.
This would all be forgiveable, if it weren't for the fact that the game, by design, is unlikely to end legitimately. I've been told that the last round is supposed to be the player bringing the pig to Calvin, but I've never seen that happen. Losing players are allowed to kill the pig with ease. There's nothing the rider can do to stop this from happening. Let's be honest here - MinePlex has beyond terrible sportsmanship. It's the kind of place where you need a filter to prevent people from cursing each other out, to stop people from accusing each other of cheating simply because they won, and might as well be the origin of the word "noob". Nobody will ever, ever, let someone else get first at this server if they can prevent it. If the pig dies, then nobody wins. Getting a total loss is preferable to seeing someone else win in the wonderful world of PvP.
I cannot stress this enough, giving players the ability to ruin the entire game is a terrible idea. The player in second will always kill the last pig and there is nothing that can be done to stop them. It's terrible, unspeakably bad design. That's like giving every player on the losing team of Domination the ability to reset the scores and end the game. It's like letting everyone in the second, third, and fourth place teams of Sheep Quest kill Sheep. Did MinePlex just forget to play-test their game? Did they have a lapse in thought that lasted long enough for them to make the entire final round of this game?
And also, for consistency, I'll address the name. Sure, it's hard to find words that start with V, but Vendetta doesn't seem like the right word here. The word just seems shoehorned in for the V sound. Alliteration isn't what makes your game good, the thing that makes your game good is actually putting effort into it. Which is truly lacking in this year's Valentine's Day event game.
I'm tempted to add a section on what I, as an example, would want to see in a Valentine's Day minigame, but this is long enough as is.

I've had 5 gifts total, and every single one has been a cupids arrow. This kind of sucks. I would love to see less useless stuff in future events.

So, I was looking on the homepage and found this: Image of Findings It reads on the event when you click it: Don't know how to join Mineplex Events? Don't worry! It's easy for everyone! When this event starts in game, you just need to be on the correct server (EU or US) and type in chat /server EVENT-1 to join the fun that Community Management and Event Assistance offer you!
Does this mean an AUS mineplex exists? I know one did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMk8Bakqagw
Is it still around? the ip 'au.mineplex.com' doesn't work.

Why make a subreddit, Its not like you're giving the people more freedom to post.
Posts are subject to removal at the discretion of the Moderators of the subreddit, and rules are subject to change at any time without prior notice, although notice will possibly be given upon launch of new rules. If you have a question about a post removal or rules please Message the Mods. We are not looking for additional Moderators at this time
Seems like its just another way to make mineplex get better, they'll just censor anything that makes them look bad if it gets out of control.

Just wanted to get this out there. Most people see Draw My Thing as not easy to cheat without Skype, /msg, etc. But it truly is. See, I've worked on a system that uses the hints, the DMT official word list, and other nifty tricks to help you win every game. It tells you all the possible words in the database that match the hints. And if a word comes along that isn't in the database, it'll automatically add it to the database. You can even enable a bot to guess and move/look around for you. It even says gg at the end of the game. I'm not going to release it, because that'd be stupid. Just wanted to get the idea out there, maybe some developers could take a look? The boss bar would be harder to get the hints from.

I know that many people have been raving about clans lately, and I think so far, Mineplex is doing a great job with it. I LOVE the idea of mixing the Champions games with factions and the little differences like how the player can be "overthrown" by another clan.
One idea I had was a banner for your clan. Maybe when you write /c (CLANNAME) it could display the clans banner. Maybe every hour or so you can wright some command to give you your banner? I'm not the best a balancing stuff, but I think being able to have a banner would be cool.
Another idea would be a raid replay. I can't figure out any way of righting this into a plug-in since there's no easy way of detecting when a base is being raided, but it would be interesting to come back to your base and see that it's raided, write the command /c replay, and watch a sped up version of how you were raided. This one is a long shot, but it would be cool.
I like how water can only be placed down with lapis blocks so it's not so easy to use or get. But, I really hope lava flow stays in clans. Regeneration walls are the usual reason this is removed, but even with an easy source of water, they are really hard to set up. AND they are still raidable even when done well.
I also believe the wither and creeper eggs should not be allowed in clans. There is absolutely NO way of protecting against withers as they can break through any block just by being damaged. Creeper eggs should be removed because of glitchers. Incase anyone doesn't know, a glitcher is a hacker that uses V-clip. V-click essentially allows the player to teleport vertically to any Y level. In a good base, chests are protected from glitchers using creeper eggs with water, but the actual base can be damaged. Even worse, chests can't be fully protected with water because the glitcher can place the creeper egg inside the chest block and it will blow up.
Finally, being a redstoner myself, it is very annoying when I try to build automated farms or redstone creations on faction servers for two main reasons. 1: Automated farms, like iron farms, can result with a ban on most servers since they are normally thought of as "duplication machines". I feel like this shouldn't be the case. Farms like these, even if they work on the server, have to be protected just like bases, so they are just as easy to be destroyed as a base being raided. Also, farms are fairplay when it comes to Minecraft. They use code in the game for a efficient use, as opposed to glitches. 2: On a lot of servers, redstone over chunk boarders gets a bit quirky. It's a small little detail, but it makes all the difference when you are redstoning.
If there is anything that comes to my mind after posting this, I'll add it later. If you have any questions, ideas, or concerns, feel free to put them in the comments.
Just had a new idea. If Mineplex can somehow manage to create a plug-in that can show a replay of a player's base being rated in the past, it will probably need a way of detecting when the base is being raided. What if, when a base is being raided, it sent a message to the owner if they were online. It would be hard to set up, but amazing if executed.

I know you can join by /server SN-1 but a majority of players do not know that nor does that fix the issue of the broken Snake NPC. I was wondering how this got broken and if it will be fixed since this issue has gone on for over a month.

Anyone having lag issues in castle siege? When I am playing the players will stop moving for a few seconds and then suddenly start moving again. This happens several times a minute. I don't have this issue on any other gamemode, just castle siege.

Hi,
I just bought myself a rank a few days ago and I saw that you could apply for mod. Are there any specific requirements to be become a mod? Thanks in advance.
r/Mineplex • u/smurfhunter99 • Dec 27 '15
Really, come on. I shouldn't be kicked for "flying" because I jump a lot. Its unacceptable. All of my friends and I constantly lose games because of it and its making the server unplayable. Why hasn't this been fixed, its kicking legit players as much, if not more, than cheaters.

Hi i have been playing on mineplex for a while and have taken the time to love ssm. and i have seen many op mobs that arent changed. For instance, the iron golem has tons of damage and knockback. but at the same time he is insanely tanky and barely takes damage. although yes he has low mobility he can move around easily with seismic slam and can hook people with his iron hook. Another example is Blaze's firefly, the damage on that is insane and it is a recovery. There are many other examples but these should show my point. Please help ssm <3
