Server Announcements / Constantly Changing Temporary World Spawns
« on: 21 Apr 2018, 19:20:11 »As part of future changes to how we're dealing with the temporary worlds; from today all of the temporary worlds (Mining World, Nether and End) will now have their spawn change to a random spot once an hour. This will continue to happen all of the time; each hour it'll be changed to a different spot.
If you visit /warp mining, /warp nether or /warp end the portal will take you to a different spot every hour, allowing you to easily find new areas of the map and to keep the spawn constantly fresh!
I'm definitely open to all feedback (good or bad) about this change, but hopefully it'll be an improvement on things allowing constant exploration of the worlds.

Server Announcements / 1.12.2 Update
« on: 18 Apr 2018, 20:39:20 »Earlier today the server was successfully updated to run full Minecraft 1.12.2. We therefore recommend that you all now play using 1.12.2 to get the most out of your experience; for now you can still connect with older versions, but this may change in the future.
There aren't really any big changes for you to notice between 1.12 and 1.12.2 but it allows us to be up-to-date and means other things behind-the-scenes can be updated accordingly too. This also means you can now properly use the recipe book in 1.12.2
.I have also been working on several behind-the-scenes changes to things to hopefully try and resolve some of the lag issues that have been reported. Please keep me updated if you notice an improvement in things.
If you notice any problems with things, or notice anything different that doesn't seem right please immediately report it to a member of the staff team or me.

« on: 7 Apr 2018, 22:34:39 »I know that many of you have been asking for it to return for quite a while now. I'm pleased to announce that the Recipe Book has now returned to the server for all Members+!
Hopefully this makes crafting for you all a lot easier.
For now you'll have to be in exactly Minecraft 1.12 (not 1.12.1 or .2).

Competitions & Events / Easter Egg Hunt!
« on: 28 Mar 2018, 19:10:03 »The annual Easter Egg Hunt on Noobstown is now under way!
Over the next few weeks, when you're on the server, a message will randomly appear in chat when an Easter Egg (or other Easter related thing) spawns near you. You then have several minutes to run around and try to find the Easter Egg before it disappears. If you do find it, simply click it and you'll be given the Egg as a collectable head. Be on the look out too, because there might also be other Eggs around at random, even when you don't get the message.
This year there are a total of 19 different things to collect (including 17 Eggs). If you manage to get them all, keep hold of them and let me know; there's a bonus special prize too!
It's also 2x mcMMO XP from now and throughout the Easter weekend!
I hope you all have a great and happy Easter!

Competitions & Events / Chunk of the Month - Spooky Winner & New Contest!
« on: 14 Jan 2018, 19:43:43 »The last Chunk of the Month contest for the theme of Spooky is of course now well over, I'm really sorry about the delay in getting the results out. I've been through the entries, once again lots of great entries. The winner for October's Spooky contest is: eboniics. You see see the design at Noobscraft.com/cotm/ and it's in the screenshot below.
It's a scary eyeball always watching you, even on the inside.
Thank-you to everyone who took part in the contest...participation awards and prizes for the month including those for taking part have finally now been given out.
January 2018's Contest
Each month you get the opportunity to submit a chunk you own to be reviewed in our contest, we're looking for creative, interesting and well-designed plots according to a monthly theme! You can find out about the previous winners at Noobs.town/cotm/.
How this works:
- Each month we'll make a post like this on the site and give a theme for that month.
- You then have the rest of the month to make design and build something in either the Wilderness OR the Town world according to the monthly theme, in a chunk you own.
- You then submit your chunk using /cotm submit while stood in that chunk. Then make a reply to the monthly post outlining your design, explain it a bit if you want to.
- At the end of the month (Early February this time) I will then go around all of the entries and judge which we deem to be the winner. Another post will then be made announcing the winner and all entries/prizes will be handed out.
It's very simple to take part, just use /cotm submit!
A few rules:
- Your build must be within 1 single Minecraft chunk (16x16), but height doesn't matter. If you're using Minecraft 1.10+ you can use F3+G to view the boundaries in yellow !
- You must own the land you're submitting your entry in, if it's in the Town world you must individually own the plot, and in the Wilderness you must own the land.
- You need to follow the theme.
- You need to actually build something, just submitting a simple few blocks to get the rewards won't count.
- You need to submit your design using /cotm submit before midnight on the last day of the month (UK time)! This deadline is automated so don't miss it.
- You need to leave your build up after the end of the month because we need chance to judge it!
The winner of each month will earn themselves:
- A unique winner trophy for that month
- 100,000Nbz
- Your chunk showcased at Noobs.town/cotm/
- Your name forever listed in-game when doing /cotm contests
- 5 FREE Wilderness Chunks This is irrespective of if you built in the Town world!
Plus everyone who takes part will receive a participation prize and a free wilderness chunk (again irrespective of if you built in the Town world).
Got any questions? Just ask them below in a reply or in-game!
As for the theme for this month; the theme is Snow! That's anything you could relate to Snow, be creative though! You have until the end of January to submit your entry. Since I'm aware there isn't long left this month to get building, the prize (listed above) for entering in January will be doubled, including the rewards for taking part!

« on: 8 Oct 2017, 14:26:08 »Noobween 2017 is here on Noobstown.com.
As normal we've got candy dropping as you do things around the server! This year it's slightly different though, there are 24 different flavours of candy to collect and trade with! Simply play as you normally would and keep an eye out for the random candy drops! The candy can then be collected and traded in for rewards (including rare heads, money and a range of other random items) at /warp noobween. The selection of rewards available might be adjusted as the month goes on so keep checking to see if anything there has changed.
This year there are certain candy that will only drop from doing specific things though, so be sure to try a number of different mcMMO skills and in different worlds to see what you can get
. Later in the month once you've all had a chance to try things out I might give some tips on what things give you what flavours.There will be another Noobween Party near the end of the month too, so keep an eye out for a post about the date and time of that!
