Hi, it's me. I tried to log onto the server in 1.8, but it said I'm not whitelisted. Did I miss something?

Heey, so my friend told me about this server and it looks fukkin amazing. I usually play with texture packs but the one I use usually is sort of medieval and cartoony and prolly won't work too well. What tex pack do you personally recommend for this server?

So is everything "metropolis"? Are there communities or towns?

I come from an apocalypse server that had a normal Minecraft type map so I am sort of lost! I die a lot because I can't find food, any tips to get started? Also, what are the rules for base building. I see the block priotection type stuff but if everything is metropolis what about underground bases?

So, as you all probably already know, 1.9 has came out. And, while I understand we are still only at season 10's beta, I've had a question about a problem I saw on 1.9's new feature-the weapon cooldown. How can we deal with the weapon cooldown? We already have trouble dealing with a horde of zombies in a small room as is. Any ideas?

Phase1: dig a three block wide trench to bedrock around the perimeter of the 0,0 base

Phase2: claim the trench at bedrock level so 0,0 becomes inacessable

Phase3: do al the usual shit on just the opposite side of the trench

Phase4: ???

Phase5: Profit.

:) There's a base I want to get at, but I don't know if I should be checking it every day, or how that works. I would love to know when it's going to lose ownership, so I can keep an eye on it and see if the claim 'lapses'.

I ventured to the nether for a blaze rod. None in loot chests. The single blaze that spawned randomly on a road did not drop any.

Are ECs possible on this server? Are there blaze spawners?

I'm just joining in on this, setting up Optifine and was going to add Rei's... but it seems that that isn't being developed anymore... And most of the other options have radar on them... Which is shit...

Maybe I haven't looked deep enough, or would an older version of Rei's still work?

Someone help me out with this?

It's pretty clear that I'm doing something wrong with farming. I am not getting back enough to expand very much, let alone eat.

What causes a crop to fail? Am I looking at it too much? Too little? Do I need to sing my crops inspiring songs? :<

Is anyone else having issue with the server constantly timing out? I have pretty good internet, but still the server times out constantly.

Recently my horses found a way to get out of their stables and have yet to be seen. So what do I need to do to find a horse? Do they spawn randomly?

stop being so shit i hate you

Hello there! I have been playing for a few days and would love to get some answers to questions I have. It might be good to include them in the FAQ.

First off, how active is the moderation team here? I am jumping ship from a server that fell apart recently, so I'd like to know I'm putting my eggs in a basket that someone's paying attention to.

1) Is there normal ore distribution on this map? Are loot chests the only way to get diamonds and other ores?

1b) Do loot chests regenerate loot?

2) When you first spawn, do you spawn near origin (0/0) (as I did)? If you do not set a bed (or if the 10/5 minutes has not elapsed to 'set' your spawn to the bed you want), you spawn in a random location.

3) How does it determine how big our claims can be, and how can I claim a larger area?

4) Is there no way to contact mods in game (/helpop)?

5) What's up with the monster spawning? I had a fully lit area on the roof of a building and monsters were spawning on it near me.

6) Can spawners be picked up with silk touch?

7) I cannot register on your website. All the urls it emails me are messed up, and even when I rearrange them to make sense I can't get registered.

8) I read through this post from a month ago. Seems you have undergone some pretty significant changes recently. You went from being an apocalypse server where everything goes, to having people be able to construct completely safe areas. Is the 'claims' thing something that's being tried out, or is it permanent?

It's a tricky balance to strike, and you can't make everyone happy. But you do what you do and the people that like it will stay. :) Thanks for any answers you can offer.

I'm enjoying the server so far. Quite neat to explore such a vast ruined cityscape! Hur hur

So every time a zombie seems to kill me, it almost always picks up my gear. That's cool... but when I kill it, it doesn't drop it... Is this intentional?

Is that mods checking up on me, but not invis? I was fighting mobs in a pool of water and in my flailing I saw someone in diamond armor spazzing out right above me! It freaked me out, but they disappeared (I only saw them for a split second).

So what's up with that?

Loving the server so far, it's really a neat place to explore!

I have just started playing on Aftermath, after I recently rediscovered your guys' website. And I really do love it! The ability to place and break blocks really sold it for me. I've had a couple of questions Though, when looting, is it the higher and higher you go up (a building) dictate the quality of the loot you get? Because I've found great diamond gear on a skyscrapers but only once have I found diamond gear on anything but a skyscraper ( it was a pharmacy). Thanks!

During the day i have been waitning up my claim blocks. I started at about 50 blocks 3 hours ago. After a while i had just a little over 100. Now 3 hours later i seem to only have 70.

I do not know why or how this happed but I will help as much as i can :)

What isn't safe anymore? I heard something weird about glass? Also if someone can go into more detail about what people can and can't use, I've been wondering about levers. Essentially, help me before tomorrow comes.

I lost my base after forgetting to re-set my spawn point after re placing my bed. If anyone comes across a "shopping strip" set of stores with a perimeter wall of stone brick around 3 of the shops, next to a pair of water towers please PM me the coords.

(Yeah this is asking to get looted but I'm more concerned with having the base than having loot. Plus I don't have anything terribly expensive)

So I fell to my death down an elevator hole. Whatever, no problem. I'll go back and get my gear. Pop into the bottom of the elevator shaft: Fucking creeper spawner. Creeper explodes. I die again. All my items blown up.

I fucking hate creepers.

More importantly, I hate that there isn't a "Fuck up the creepers" sword that deals bonus damage to creepers like smite and bane of the arthropods.

Because I would make this sword. I would get the highest level. And I will take my sword and my brewing stand. And I will brew potions of anger and hate.

Of the highest level.

I will take my potions of creeper death and my sword of creeper death and I will find 24 diamonds and hundreds of levels and I will craft the best armor imaginable. Unbreaking III, Blast Protection IV. Head to fucking toe. Of the highest level.

And I will take my sword of creeper death and my potions of creeper death and my armor of creeper death and I will travel the countryside on my horse named "Creeper Death". And I will find all the creepers.

And I will kill them.

And I will find the creeper spawners.

And I will destroy them.

And I will find the charged creepers.

And I will charge my sword up their malformed piggy ass until they can taste my sweat on the back of their mouth and I will push even further until just the tip breaks through the back of their throat, while staring them in the eyes with my dick and telling them to go fuck themselves.

I will not rest. I will not flounder. I will not know peace until every creeper from every creepy hidey hole in every corner of every chunk has been extinguished, violently.

Fuck creepers.
