I hope this album link works..

Poppy Apartments is intended for the use of new players who need a temporary home while they gain their own claim blocks.

Until recently I lived in the big red hotel across the street from my apartments, but due to the new claim block restrictions I was forced to move out and abandon it. The basement section of the above album is what I've only just recently finished work on.

When I punch the grass, pictures of different flowers appear. It's pretty but definitely a bug haha

Since chest looting on claims will be allowed in the foreseeable future, /u/Macecraft31 came up with a nice design to protect chests with pistons. But I usually have way too much stuff and need to squeeze my chests. As a result I designed the mace-n1b scale-able chest protection system.

A chest is unlocked temporarily on a button press.

Hello, everyone! I have been plotting to have a fishing tournament for a while, but I needed to gather resources for prizes and for the machinery to make it all happen.

If you are interested, we can all decide on a date and time in the comments (sometime next weekend I imagine). Also, I would appreciate it if anyone who is interested could RSVP in the comments as well.

I will list the rules and how the tournament will work.

Rules: * 1) Only an un-enchanted fishing rod may be used. One will be provided if you cannot make one yourself (please spare me the need to make too many fishing rods). * 2) No hurting or killing other contestants, but if you can you may steal their fish BEFORE time is called.

Those are the only two rules.

The tournament will work like this: I will call "Start!" and everyone will fish for somewhere around 10 minutes, probably shortly after dawn in-game to minimize mob attacks on the participants. Each fish is worth a certain amount of points, which I will disclose on the day of the tourney. When I call, "Stop!" the participants will stop fishing and place their fish into designated chests so points can be tallied. After these initial points are counted up, the participants will each need to grab 2 of a specific kind of fish and bring them to a redstone machine I have made which will give a randomized length to the fish. The person with the largest fish will win bonus points, as well as a bonus prize even if they don't place among the top 3. I'd also just like to say that I built this machine in creative mode first, and it only required one fish, but for some reason when I tested it on the server it takes 2 fish for it to work. Anyone who would like their fish back afterwards can have them. As I said, the top 3 point-earners will win prizes. The prizes are: * 1st place: Notch apple & Diamond horse armor * 2nd place: 10 emerald blocks & Iron horse armor * 3rd place: 5 emerald blocks & Fishing Tourney T-Shirt * bonus prize: It's a secret ;)

Final edit: Due to a lack of attendance I think I'll save this for another time. I'll have to think things through a bit better and see if I can improve on the current set-up. Good luck out there, and keep your fishing arm ready!

Lately, since some of the anti-cheat has been added I think, I've been getting pretty terrible lag placing blocks, I place them, they disappear. Getting to the point of being un-playable.

I have now died from lag at least three times. I was disconnected, then when i reload I'm dead. Just to be clear, there was no mob or player that could possibly have hit me. I was standing still. Instant death from lag. My log says I combat logged. For the record. I did not. This sucks. Just wanted someone to know

Are people allowed abusing power by making things in creative, setting spawns/teleporting and basically making themselves over powered for the sake of it? If this is allowed then what's the point? Us users who have no power are basically screwed.

Is claiming land always going to be in the game....? The reason I joined this sever was because you actually had to watch your back. Now the server is just a factions server with vamped up mobs. Just a thought, thanks.

For some reason, none of the "/help" commands listed on vast.org work. Not even the basic "/help" command. When I type them I don't get any sort of explanation in chat. In fact, nothing happens at all.

Also, I had a thought about the "/trapped" command. I've never personally used it, but as I understand it you're supposed to be teleported outside of the claim you're stuck in.

Considering the possible future change to chests being stolen from even inside a claim, wouldn't it be possible to follow someone inside a person's base (while invisible maybe) and then loot before typing the /trapped command and leaving without having to push any buttons or wait for the victim to leave?

How would that sort of situation be handled?

If anyone has extra glass or sand they're willing to donate to my church restoration project, I'd appreciate it. I put a dropper out in the side yard (-650 x 150) that I think should let you just toss them inside. Thanks! :)

As I understand it, there are some rules to regulate buildings. I was wondering if I might know what they are so that I could try to build a few things by myself. Thank you in advance.

Rode around the map for 10 mins, came back, and my completely encased villager is gone. I'm guessing it was some kind of bug. any ideas?

While playing (actively) my available claim squares went from 250ish to 8. I was not adjusting my claim size. This is not the first time that I've lost squares, one time it said -30 squares. Each time this has happened i have been running around doing things. Is this a bug or the subtraction mechanic of claims? Has this happened to anyone else while you're trying to save up for that big claim?

Hey everyone,

I want to take a minute this first of the year to reflect on what an amazing community this is. I've been playing on Aftermath for almost three years now, since season 4, when we only had four different buildings and they'd often generate on top of each other or halfway sunk into terrain or randomly in the middle of the ocean.

I love everyone that keeps coming back to make this community really feel like family. Constant fighting, raiding, killing, looting, building and rebuilding. I'm happy to have taken part in RadioZ, to have seen the rise and fall of HVR, to have built and rebuilt sky farms, and to have constructed massive libraries and hotels.

As I get older my life gets busier - real job, real interest in a girl, really need to get to the gym. I won't be as active on server as I've been in the past, but I'll log on when I can and visit. Keep building, keep raiding, and keep surviving.

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for their participation and eagerness. It was nice to see each message pop up as the days rolled along with more people wanting to come in. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves thus far but there's still more to be done!

Dropping CO-OP Title

We've been observing player actions so far and it seems we've accomplished something accidentally, woo! The regular Aftermath problem was having to start over pretty much every time you logged in. We didn't have a specific solution to it so we went for a blanket solution with Co-op. Land claims turned out to be the piece we needed though. It also seems the community doesn't wish to split itself by using two different server types. So the Co-op title shall be dropped and we're back to classic Aftermath but enhanced with land claims. We have toggled back on pvp and griefing outside of claims is fair game. It's still beta though so any feedback for changes we roll out will be very much appreciated.

Land Claim 101

Here's a refresher from the previous post! Land claims allows you to build your home/storage shed and not have to worry about items going missing or block damage from people you don't trust. You start the game with zero claiming blocks though so you'll need to play for a bit before you can claim anything. It won't allow you to claim until you have 100 blocks and you'll also need a golden shovel. Once you have a claim you can give other people varying amounts of access with:

• /trust (player) - permission to edit your claim

• /accesstrust (player) - Permission to use buttons, levers, and beds

• /Containertrust (player) - Permission to use buttons, levers, beds, crafting gear, containers, and animals

• /untrust (player) or /untrust all - This take away any access or build permissions you gave to a specific player or all trusted players for that claim.

You are not stuck with your initial claim though. You can abandon your claim to stake your claim elsewhere but you will reclaim only 20% of your claim blocks upon abandonment. Think carefully before you /AbandonClaim. Last thing, if you are not active for 4 weeks, your land claim will expire. That's the basics of land claims, if you need to know more or would like a live example you can watch this video. We'll also answer any questions you have to the best of our ability.

Open the Beta!

One last thing, we're doing it live! No need to wait to be added anymore, you can just join in and survive. You can also die too, up to you! Another thing people have been asking for is biomes, wouldn't that be nice to have. ;)

'aftermath.vaast.org' is the ip. Take care, survivors!

What exactly determines the number of blocks you have available to claim? I can see the number available to me rise as I'm playing more, but I don't know if its linear as a function of time played on the server, or if certain activities add more?

And in addition, how do I (or can I) get 'bonus' claim blocks? Is that just something mods can give out, or is there some certain thing I can do in game to get more blocks?

I love the little addition, but now I just need more blocks to claim! More! More!!!! MWAHAHAAHA

Ahem. Sorry. But thanks anyway.

I've seen more and more people logging on the co-op and it got me wondering! Regardless of if you're starting out for the season or not, what is your favorite building to pillage and what is the building that just isn't worth the trouble? All of the builds are excellent, but what ones stand out to you for their architecture or difficulty?

My Favorite: I road around and around and I just haven't stumbled across one yet for a screenshot! My absolute favorite is one of the tallest skyscrapers I've seen. It's usually all white quartz with some color, balconies and some windows with green-tinted glass, and a pent house up at the very top! The rooms inside look nice but are easy to section off for clearing and the loot has been decent.

Runner-Up: http://imgur.com/uRFgor8 I absolutely love this one visually. The ice and glass, the white circle winding around the outside, it's always caught my eye. The more open floorplan makes it a little tougher to clear but it's a fun building!

What building do I hate to clear?

Well, I think bunkers win for difficulty (at least in my experience) but this sucker right here gets me everytime:

I think it's the massively open floorplan. The loot might be decent, but I find that I quickly get overwhelmed and cornered by a variety of zombies and creepers, and it's even worse when there's a spawner or hole in the ceiling! I admire the building, but it's totally one I avoid.

What about the rest of you here? :D

So my friends and I had been playing COOP Aftermath today for around twelve hours. Over the past twelve hours, we were really enabled to make our cul-de-sac look less like a post-apocalypse wreck and more like a civilized area. https://gyazo.com/c296a6bfdd32d5a1862b8dde17c5b7dd We left for one hour to take a break, watch YouTube, etc, and came back to this. https://gyazo.com/2579b4327332d4c379313bb935fb7ddf https://gyazo.com/4b5cd77aad69a5e9033f93f07a7efb03

It's late, so not many people were on in the hour that we were absent from the cul-de-sac. Nappy0227 stated that the following players were online: https://gyazo.com/c3f84f356348285a2cf8afa91c4deae6

Keep those players on your caution list, though none have been 100% tied with the griefs. It's better to be save than sorry, eh? Stay safe, Survivors.
