My two boys love it, the console versions are too basic for them though (6 and 4).

I must admit to having my moments with it, like when I spent two straight days of real life digging an underground train network between my farm and castle (which I also spent a ridiculous amount of time making).

The End?
Did someone say... new caf server?

(Could the other thread possibly be merged into this one @Damien?)
Hey mate, if you could make a survival and make it a every man for himself thing, where PVP is enabled and you get to keep the loot (of course you can decide to return) That'd be great?

If one such server already exists for the Caf, I'd appreciate it if you could please pm me the IP, thanks.

Yo, IF enough people are interested again I can do something, but in the past here I think most aren't interested in PVP and prefer a more co-operative server. P.s thanks @Damien

I'd be interested in any. Just a server. Though I get nervous when playing against people I have contact with and always flop. Same with Fifa, I am really good at it, but when it comes to playing against my mates, it doesn't go to good.

Is it that you don't like cooperative?
Did you make a previous server?

If you like Pokemon, get the Pixelmon mod.

I've rarely been this impressed by a mod, in fact, I don't think I ever have. Genius.
I always thought it looked terrible, not sure if its improved or not?

I don't know what version you've seen, but the one my eldest is playing is pretty good. The pokemon look great, the battles work well and there's all the berries/machines/fossils and all that of the games.

It's obviously not perfect, but running around a world looking for pokemon to capture and trainers to fight has been pretty fun watching so far. There's a lot of work gone into it, it's great in my book ;)

It's definitely improved then. Looking at some videos it looks pretty good.

Do you use a custom map to play it or do you just play on a random one?

Any it seems. The pokedex is particularly good too.

All in all, I'm yet to touch it myself, but from what I'm watching it's extremely good as far as mods go. Running around catching pokemon, finding trainers and pokecenters and all that looks great fun. The battles play out properly too, though they obviously don't have the effects and battle animations properly done, the actual rpg elements don't seem a million miles off and my boy just evolved a pidgey. That alone shows the effort gone into it.

I purposely didn't tag you because I thought it would annoy you to have to say what you would prefer. :D

Maybe something different could be worth looking at if enough people would prefer that option.

Tekkit. Tekkit Pixelmon.

I want to build my automatic elevator behind my shower in my house that takes me down to the sub levels where my quarry is digging out a large space in which I build Pokemon fighting arenas.
What version are you using? I tried 4.0.7 but the pokemon sounds completely disappeared which was very off putting. I am using the direct mod of 4.0.6 currently, well my boys mainly are, because I'm a little wary of their launcher plus they play split screen and with a controller.

It's normal minecraft but even better, not sure why people wouldn't prefer it? They can play vanilla if they like or they can build awesome things if they like.

In my experience usually these things have plenty of the newest features of vanilla Minecraft missing from them and often the biggest motivation for people to play again is to use the new features.

Vanilla minecraft is just placing blocks on top of each other which this has, there's nothing exciting to vanilla minecraft it's just making things that look cool by putting blocks on top of each other, you can't remove that option from a mod?

These mods are just vanilla minecraft with extra options.

You can surely see that is entirely subjective, there are many other reasons people enjoy playing vanilla Minecraft on a server that you may not happen to share. If you want to be simple about it then I would say Tekkit is just the same thing except you can spend some more time setting things up for automation so you can ultimately make things that look cool by putting blocks on top of each other.

The point I was making about people playing for new features that are missing from the likes of Tekkit was really just aimed toward the idea of us having a new server soon, i.e. when the new features come out. Mods often take several months to catch up. Ultimately they do get all the features of course but not for a while.

I don't understand what new features could possibly be missing though, since mods are built on top of vanilla minecraft.

Okay so let's say vanilla Minecraft update 1.9 is released tomorrow. Those playing with mods will still be using whatever vanilla version that mod was built on, e.g. 1.8. The developers of these mods largely have to wait until the new vanilla version is released until they can begin to do the majority of the work of updating their mod to run with the new vanilla. Even with the smallest plugins this can take months so with something as big as a mod it takes a while to do.

Huge mods are usually relatively quick, and then the server can just be updated? It's not an issue, it's just an issue of whether the server admin wants players to have access to extra options/content or not on top of the vanilla game.

I think it would be a good idea anyway, we've had 4 or 5 Caf servers now and people get bored and move on very quickly every time we do vanilla.

Times can vary depending on the scale of the update too, so I guess it can take a long or short time. You're right they haven't lasted too long, but I think they were all quite fun while they lasted. Do you think a mod would make it last longer though or be fairly similar just different in game type? I'd be all for trying something new if it would really make such a difference.

I shut down my public server but kept it to test out some new ideas. I'm in no rush though, if anyone wants it I can start up a new one we can use.

I always mean to start playing a bit of Minecraft again. I loved the old days of the Redcafe server, with Lava Cubes and Death Stars...

I occasionally glance at the shortcut on my desktop and get the urge to start again. I still have some plans I threw together for my monstrous castle I started. Took me a week just to do the foundations, it was that big. :lol:

Server I.P: 198.20.98.118

I found an old backup for a cafe whitelist but there's probably more that were added since so try to log in and if you can't get on drop your name on here to be whitelisted. Let's find an npc village and make a spawn town out of it!

I briefly went on yesterday. Is there any town or buildings yet? I went and plundered a temple near spawn since I love building in sandstone.


Also, can my gf get whitelisted? Her name is Miramell

Just died and discovered that the spawnpoint has been changed. Gah!
