I'd love to jump on and take a look around Sounds good The only issue as of late is Bukkit (basically all of the server files) got issued a DMCA takedown by a salty ex-coder and there aren't any stable versions past 1.8.8 (I think). You can do some digging and use an alternate version like Spigot, but yeah. We'll talk about it on TS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevetos 511 Report post Posted January 30, 2017 While minecraft seems like the easiest thing to do, I must disagree. It is something which requires a lot of thought. Going off and developing a Server is rather easy, but putting together all elements to make an enjoyable, lasting experience isn't. While you might be able to develop a masterpiece, without good execution, it's destined to fail. Working with the monetisation rule is quite simple, create a plugin just like a forum giveaway and X days it draws a winner - but only if they enter in game -, or through voting (X chance of getting it), or any way which gives all players a chance of getting everything that you would if you donated (i.e. a .001 chance of getting something from mining stone, etc). Remember that cosmetics are fine, only things which impact gameplay fall under it. If you do go into donations, be prepared to be contacted by parents a lot about purchases they want refunded - because their credit card was taken by their kids... What a surprise. Some things to think about (kept small because I don't want another massive post) Survival/Sandbox/PvP ? Economy (one of the biggest ones)? What items? What plugins & commands? What features? Do you go for 1.8 PvP, or go for 1.9, 1.10 or 1.11? - Do you use a plugin for 1.8 PvP (Which may be very buggy) If you go for a sandbox, what players want is entities - they want to be able to use red-stone, use minecarts, have animals - all of which isn't too friendly on the server. Do you give them something like world edit - another feature people really enjoy, but isn't too friendly on the server either (yes, you can limit what they can do) If you go for something like hunger games (a gamemode), are you just making it for a quick session, or are you trying to make it enjoyable to play for hours (much harder)? Do you go with what has already been established (i.e. Factions, HungerGames etc.) or would you develop a new gamemode never thought of before? Do you go for one server, or more? How many to keep everything interesting with a playerbase? I am not here to discourage anything, just making sure everyone knows whats involved. (How do I know? 6 years of working on one server which has had its up and downs from 100-1000 on at a time, to 30-80 in its last stretches) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axle_Tiaky 415 Report post Posted January 30, 2017 To be truthful, this has been attempted before, a lot of people wanted it to happen and when it did happen no one played on it. This is not to say that it may not work, but history tends to repeat itself. All my opinion, but would be great to see something like this to come up again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mysteria98 3 Report post Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure me and @nclem and who ever else would be able to develop the server just need the approvals from strayagaming if they want it to go ahead as we would need someone to buy a server from a hosting company like mcprohosting. Then once we have been given access to the control panel then we would be able to develop the server. (Meaning install/customise important plugins, recruit builders to build spawn etc and then recruit other staff to help manage the server.) Also would need a poll to see what type of server the community wants it to be but I don't see a problem of having multiple gamemodes if money isn't a problem. P.S I'm leaning towards a spigot survival server with minigames but its up to you guys. Edited January 30, 2017 by Mysteria98 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only issue with Factions and PvP in general is the salt and frustration that comes with it. Salt is nothing, Just wait till you have a squad of 10 year olds with there $10 booter hitting your staff and players offline 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noordo 95 Report post Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) @nclem I have hosted over 20+ minecraft servers, been admin for 50+, been developer for 30+ etc. I have even made custom plugins! Also, I have found a plugin that lets clients with any version above 1.8 join, now yes it would be a little op for people using 1.8 against 1.9+. But, everything else is simple. The server needs to be 1.8, thats so 1.8 users cant get 1.9+ items etc. Edited March 7, 2017 by Noordo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
