Hey guys,

After hours upon hours of uploading, the wild world is finally ready for preview! ~ The current world is being rendered on the live map. I've set the default load map to the Wilderness, if you want to check the 'Town' world again, simply open the menu on the right of the map and select 'world'.

Again, feel free to look around and pick your spot!

http://www.noobscraft.com/map/ <- Click the link to see our Wild world. Some elements may be currently rendering, the 3d viewing functions will take longer to update. 3D elements can be viewed on the right hand menu

What is the wild world?

The Wilderness world is an area for all players on the server to live privately or with a close knit group of friends, the world is completely ran on our brand new chunk based protection system 'Chunky' which allows for personal chunk by chunk protection.

The Wilderness world was designed to be feature rich, full of imagination and incredible scenery. We wanted every small area and each small detail to be personal to the player that lives there. Every single corner you turn you will find something new, exciting and inspiring. We've jam packed the entire world with crazy, funky and fun biomes and we cannot wait for you all to begin your journey out into the wild.


Time to start planning your personal home, because we're planning ours!

Noobscraft Team,

So, as the new version approaches what are your plans for the first day? Share them with the community!

Hey all,

I understand that everyone had hoped to be playing v6 by now and believe me, so did the entire team. However, there are reasons why we haven't released and those reasons outweigh any need to rush or push out a release just for the sake of downtime.

Let me briefly explain the chunky system and direction we are taking v6. As you know we have been planning and preparing v6 to last much longer than previous versions, this means a lot of thought and preparation has gone into keeping the world clean and fresh for years to come. Our aims are to minimize the amount of inactive builds or "ruins" and generally just have a world full of active buildings and players, who are devoted to our server.

The vision meant we had to create a custom system, which you all know by now as "Chunky" ~ The way chunky works is that it records the entire world data as it was naturally formed (Before any players even touch it) this will mean the saved recording will be like the first time you back up a computer, completely fresh and untouched. This saved data will be continuously used throughout the entire version; as an example: Someone wishes to reset their land or an automated inactivity/ban land refresh happens, which means the data will be grabbed and the chunks will be restored to the time before players walk the very earth.

So why can't you release in 1.6.4? Well, in 1.6.4 the way data is saved and the way we wanted to save data will no longer work in 1.7.2. Meaning any data we save of the fresh world would not roll back, due to the data being unreadable and old. This is due to Minecraft itself changing the way world chunk data is saved in 1.7.2.

What would have happened if we released in 1.6.4?

Here are a list of possible outcomes of releasing on 1.6.4

• Data is saved the old way and thus by the time 1.7.2 hits the fresh world data, which is the source of data where backups are pulled from to keep the world fresh will not work. Completely nullifying the entire plan for the version. Which would result in another world reset a year later, due to the world being a mess again!
• The system not functioning correctly due to these changes, which would cause player block and inventory data to be rolled back or possibly lost. Losing items 1 month after the version hits... disaster!?!
• The entire auction system will be broken when 1.7.2 hits, meaning any saved items on there or any items currently listed will be entirely lost. Due to the way 1.7.2 has changed block and item saved data
• Towns being completely lost due to Towny not updating their 1.7.2 saving methods

I hope this gives those people asking "Release on 1.6.4" the answer they needed, it is not ideal and it is not going to benefit us in the long run.

However, we are devising a  backup plan ~ Which means we are looking into creating a super converter, the converter will change all old data to the new data. This comes with a price! ~ lots and lots of time and devotion which could be spent on ensuring a safer and more reliable release on 1.7.2. Again, this is not ideal and would only be created in the worst possible scenario in which Bukkit don't feel they can update for a long, long time.

In saying that, we are still relying on Bukkit to continue their hard work at getting 1.7.2 out and remember, the converter is merely a backup plan and is something we are not going to push too much for as we believe it will not only waste time but also mean a less stable v6 release as it could have been.

I hope you all understand and don't vent too much frustration towards us, we are trying our best to ensure v6 will be stable and reliable server for years to come. Rushing the fundamental core development and launch would forever debilitate the version, which is not something we want to happen after all of our work on the version. Since we released all those years ago we have always tried to give our players the best possible experience and service, we aren't miracle workers but we do try our very hardest. We do this because of our great community and the sense of friendship and devotion that our players give to this little thing we call 'Noobstown' so please, just hold on tight and wait that little bit longer. We are thankful for those who still support us and will be there from the day we launch the future of our server.

Keeping busy, preparing the version ~ Waiting on news from Bukkit,

Noobscraft team

Welcome to Town Web Inventory Access Point Applications. This application is specifically for requesting a web inventory access chest setup in your town, much like the main spawn (Noobstown). This will enable your citizens to use the web inventory without traveling back and forth to spawn.

Web Inventory Access Points require two sets of boxes (chests) Deposit and Collection.

Deposit enables players to transfer items in-game to the website and Collection enables them to collect web items in-game. Before you apply you need to ensure you have the facility for these chests in your Access Point building, please correctly define two sections of space for  both collection and deposit chests.

Towns of 10 or more citizens are eligible for an Access Point, please do-not apply until you have the required amount.

The Application:

Town:
Type here your Town name.

PLAN:
Do you have an Access Point building? Are their locations for both collection and deposit boxes?

Thank you!

Hey guys,

I am happy to announce that across the entire Network we'll be creating an Event/Games environment in which you'll be able to connect to from your home server (Noobstown or Apocalypse) and play with each other in one big hub. This system will be available early 2014 and will be rolled out across both servers, allowing you to compete in mini games and events to earn tokens and rewards for the server you play on.

This games will be run on entirely new machines, so they won't be effecting the performance or stability of the main server and functions. This allows us to add lots of unique and exciting events for our community to share, and we can't wait to see you all playing as one.

How will I gain access to this 'Event Hub'?

You will walk through a portal on either Noobstown or Apocalypse and your character will begin a tracking process in which all your progress and rewards will be transferred to your home server. If you play both you will be given some form of option to select where you want the rewards to be sent to.

What can we expect?

Automated games that include our unique games that have been created by staff including The Cube, Sand pit and Snowball. We will also be working with the community to develop new exciting games for both communities, taking suggestions and advice to better build our Games network for the community.

How will this be moderated?

We are going to be bringing in both staff teams from either server, which can collectively monitor the environment within the games hub system. Interaction will only occur in games and collectively the two servers will share the same rules, we will be working closely to tighten the gap between any rule difference early and ensure that when the two meet in this world, the ruling will be completely understood from both servers.

What will the rewards be?

Most likely token based, continuing the systems we have ran in the past the will be exchangeable for perks and rewards in your survival/rpg home server.

When?

As said above we'll be looking into rolling this out early 2014 for beta testing, and slowly as more games are fully functioning make this completely accessible for everyone.

Thank you and we look forward to strengthening the two communities and creating a fun environment for the two.

Hey all,

It is with regret to announce that the release of Minecraft 1.7 could most likely be on Friday (The date v6 was schedule to launch) we have decided it will be in the servers best interests to postpone the date of launch. We are not comfortable releasing completely newly coded plugins designed around 1.6+ on a 1.7 build, as this will not only require re-coding but also coding to account for the version changes and effects on our custom biomes. As well as this, we also have to wait for each plugin that has been created by developers from bukkit to update, which could also take some time.

This also create serious implications for our Noobsween Events. As we are clearly running out of time anyway (Almost end of October), the chances of a full scale Noobween this year will not be possible. However, we do not plan to give up on the event completely! there will still be small Noobween themed events running into November.

Again, we apologize for further delays. Quality over quantity! we wan't Noobstown v6 to launch safely and correctly and these are the necessary precautions we will have to take.


Thank you,
