Competitions & Events / Chunk of the Month - Winter Winner & Next Contest!
« on: 15 Jan 2017, 16:13:50 »

December's contest for the theme of Winter is of course now over, and I've been through the entries, once again lots of great entries. The winner for December's contest is: eboniics. You see see the design at Noobscraft.com/cotm/ and it's in the screenshot below.

It's a great build both inside and out!

Thank-you to everyone who took part in last month's contest...participation awards and prizes for the month including those for taking part will be given out soon.


January'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 for 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 :D!
  • 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 January; the theme is Castles! That could be anything relating to castles, be creative; but also remember the whole entry has to fit into 1 single 16x16 Minecraft chunk!

Server Announcements / Recap of 2016!
« on: 14 Jan 2017, 17:37:34 »

I started doing recaps each month last year (and missed a few at the end of the year too :() so I thought I'd do a whole year overview post to outline some of the bigger changes that occurred throughout the whole of 2016! There's loads of things which happened but this post is only going to outline some of the bigger ones throughout 2016.

Big Announcements

Bigger Server Changes

Themes & Bigger Events

I'm hoping great things will come in 2017! There's lots of changes planned in the works, and we're going to try and bring back  more regular events, quests and themes, which is something that has not been as successfully more recently!

Site Announcements / Site Emailing Issues - Resolved
« on: 2 Jan 2017, 00:43:08 »
I just want to quickly make a post to apologise to anyone who missed out on receiving any emails from the site over the last few weeks.

A few issues meant that a number of emails which were queued to be sent were actually never sent, this includes: any password resets, account activation emails, personal message emails, notifications etc. The overall issue which meant that they weren't being sent has now been resolved, so if you were waiting for an email please try again now and you should get it now!

Included in the emails which weren't sent was one for each of you wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year; I'm sorry you likely never got this but I hope everyone had a great time!

Competitions & Events / Merry Christmas Noobstown!
« on: 22 Dec 2016, 21:22:11 »

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from myself and the rest of the Noobstown team! I hope you all enjoy the holiday season, and that you get to spend some time with your family and loved ones doing something you enjoy.

2016 has been a big year of change for Noobstown and hopefully we can look forward to further improvements coming in 2017!

To celebrate the Christmas and New Year it'll be double mcMMO XP on Noobstown.com all week now and next from tonight right up until 2017!

Remember you can still claim the Noobmas Advent gifts each day up to and including the 25th itself too! Plus there's the new Wilderness features to explore!

We'll see you in the New Year!

Server Announcements / Wilderness Update: Menus, Cheaper Land and more!
« on: 22 Dec 2016, 20:27:04 »

Wilderness Menus are finally here! The update to the Wilderness I've been working on for a few months is now available on the server. This introduces a era for Noobstown; the ability to manage your things through simple to use menus over typing dozens of commands; if the Wilderness menus are liked then I'll probably expand it out to other areas such as mcMMO and Towns, etc.

There's more than just those changes to the commands in this update though. You can see some clips of things at https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/. I've hopefully improved lots of different features:

Commands
  • Almost all commands will now work using the quick menus. Simply clicking around in the menus should allow you to do most things. All the old commands will still work doing the actions they did before, but with menus to make it easier hopefully.
  • You can now just do /wild to view an overview of all of your Wilderness stuff, and to quickly access most of the other menus! The help has moved over to /wild help.
  • There is no longer the need to use commands such as /wild chunks list and /wild builders list, etc. simply doing /wild chunks and /wild builders now automatically bring up the lists. If you need to get the commands as before, simply use /wild ... help.
  • Introduced short alias commands for /wild chunk info so you can now just use /wild info. Similarly you can also just do /wild highlight to highlight the current chunk.
  • You can now easily find the 'number' of your chunk for use in /wild home [number], simply do /wild info when stood in a chunk and it will tell you the number.
  • Friends are now determined independently, meaning just because you add someone as a friend it doesn't mean they have to add you. This means you can now remove your Wilderness Friends even if they're not online. To take advantage of the friend features you must both have added each other though.
  • Using the new /wild chunks list you can now manage each chunk even if you're not stood in it!
  • Using the updated /wild map you can now buy land when you're not even stood in it.
  • Confirming is now done in a menu, there is no need to use extra commands for it now.
  • Added new command /wild chunk icon (accessed by clicking the icon in the chunk details screen. This allows you to change the chunk icon in the lists, map, etc.
  • Help commands should now give a little more information and can be accessed for the main command options simply by adding "help" to the end; such as /wild builders help.

Pricing
  • The price for each chunk has been dramatically reduced. You can now also work out how much you're likely to be paying using this simple formula:
Code: [Select]
(Number of existing chunks - 20) * 500 = Next chunk price
  • Reduced the minimum price of a single chunk down from 1,000Nbz to just 500Nbz.
  • Reduced the maximum price of a single chunk to just 100,000Nbz.
  • The disconnection fee has been reduced from 50,000Nbz and 500,000Nbz to just 30k and 100,000Nbz.
  • The transfer fee has been reduced from 50,000Nbz to just 5,000Nbz per chunk.
  • You can now buy 3 separated areas without paying any separation fee at all.
  • The lower pricing for separations now lasts for 10 separates compared to the 7 previously.

Land
  • New chunk borders now have a torch every few blocks.
  • New chunk borders now automatically clear the borders in other chunks you own for the connecting sides.
  • Borders now ignore a number of extra blocks so they should no longer spawn on top of trees, etc.
  • When a chunk is regenerating you can now stand inside it. Be aware of the blocks as they reset though!
  • Adjusted the fireworks which shoot up when you buy a new chunk.

General
  • Removed all teleport delay.
  • Removed the horribly annoying warning preventing you from placing blocks against the edge of your land. The prevention with the message "You can't place blocks against land you don't have access to!" is no longer used, place blocks all you want against that land!
  • Increased your Wilderness Builders limit up from 25 to 45!
  • Increased your Wilderness Organisers limit from 25 to 45!
  • Increased your Wilderness Friends limit up from just 6 all the way to 45!
  • Added the ability to immediately/quickly run Wilderness commands simply by clicking on them from the [Wild] messages in the chat.
  • Re-coloured and reworded a lot of the messages shown when you do things.
  • Plus general minimal bug fixes.

As I said above, some videos of some of these features can be viewed at https://www.noobscraft.com/server/wilderness-changes-in-the-works/, but to really experience how easy some things are now you're best of giving things a go.

As always if you notice any bugs please immediately let me know. Plus I am definitely open to feedback on these changes, the menus is a big change in how you do things on Noobstown so if you like or dislike it please let me know.

I hope you enjoy this change just in time for Christmas too! :D.

Server Announcements / Wilderness Changes in the Works!
« on: 14 Dec 2016, 20:29:52 »
I've been talking about it a lot recently, but I've been hard working on some big changes to how commands will be used in the Wilderness hopefully to make it much much easier to make use of all of the features that the system has to offer, and to allow for you to get going with things without a massive guide of commands.

I promised I'd post some previews of some of the changes so this post is just going to be a few videos of the coming features. I realise that the videos below are likely quite small, but you can click the expand button in the bottom right of them to make them bigger! Things aren't completely done yet so there might be changes to what you see, and I'm definitely open to feedback too.

There's more changing than just what I'm showing in these videos, I've listed a few things to note about each video but a full change log will be posted once the changes are available on the server, which I'm really working forward for it to be before Christmas :). You might see a few of the changes in the video which aren't specifically highlighted by my mouse wiggling, if you've got any questions please feel free to ask them.

Changes to the Wilderness Chunk List
In the video:
  • New chunks list preview
  • No need to use /wild chunks list anymore, just use /wild chunks will do the job
  • Ability to manage aspects of any of your chunks even if you're not stood inside them at the time
  • Ability to mark specific chunks using a certain block in the list to quickly identify them
  • Quick view of the options in the individual chunk menu
  • Ability to quickly teleport to chunks without using the home command

Changes to the individual Chunk commands
In the video:
  • New individual chunk menu, replacing /wild chunk info
  • No need to use /wild chunk info anymore, just using /wild chunk will do it
  • Ability to quickly see and then toggle all aspects of the chunk
  • Ability to quickly sell the chunk
  • Quick view of the new help list The text it shows in chat will be adjusted before release
  • Ability to quickly find out the 'number' of your Wilderness chunks for the home command

Changes to buying new Wilderness Land
In the video:
  • No need to use the confirm command anymore, it's all done with the one command
  • No need to type out the long borderless command anymore, it's now all part of the one command
  • Chunk pricing has been dramatically reduced
  • Disconnected/separated land extra fees are much lower now, and are clearly outlined when purchasing
  • Chunk borders now include torches every few blocks automatically
  • Chunks purchased directly next to other chunks which have slabs at the highest block now don't have borders on the connecting sides, and they'll remove the borders from the other connected chunks too
  • The border slabs now nicely go under trees (and several other blocks too) so no more having to climb trees to find them

Changes to Wilderness Friends
In the video:
  • New friends list menu, quickly listing all of your friends
  • Increased Wilderness friends limit
  • No need to type out /wild friends list just using /wild friends does the same thing
  • Ability to quickly add in friends from the list of online players just by clicking
  • Ability to remove your Wilderness friends irrespective of if they're online or not!

Wilderness Builder and Organiser options also work in a similar way to the new friends menu.

That's all the previews for now, I'm working on the final parts of it now and any final fixes etc., but all going to my new revised plan it will hopefully be ready before Christmas :D. As I said above if you've got any questions or feedback I'm open to hearing it. This is a big change to how you'll do things so I am definitely willing to listen to your suggestions and hear about anything you think might not be as nice to use.

Just to be clear none of these changes are actually live on Noobstown yet, they're all being worked on ready for release soon; there will obviously be a post on the site once it's actually live on the server.

Competitions & Events / Noobmas 2016!
« on: 11 Dec 2016, 15:40:00 »

Just a small update to let you know that on top of the daily advent gifts you can now find the Holiday Crackers as you're mining, digging, etc. around the server! They're not that common, but will hopefully be a nice extra surprise!

We've also moved to a more snowy/Noobmasy version of the site ready for the 25th! :) Everyone's got their Noobmas Hats on hopefully :).

Competitions & Events / Noobmas 2016 - Advent Begins
« on: 30 Nov 2016, 21:35:25 »

Starting from the (midnight tonight) 1st of December we'll be continuing our annual tradition of the daily rewards and advent countdown to Christmas (25th).

Each day simply go to the chests at /warp noobmas (right in front of spawn), and click to open and claim the daily reward. Each day a new box will open at midnight GMT (UK time) with different rewards, with the rewards hopefully getting better and better as we get closer and closer to Christmas, including an extra special reward for collecting it during Christmas day! You need to make sure you open each box on the day it's related to otherwise you'll miss out though! There's a countdown timer on each box so you know how long until it will open!

We'll also be starting with more fun Noobmas themed activities (including new Holiday Cracker drops) in just over a week too, so keep an eye out for that too! Plus remember that December's Chunk of the Month competition will begin starting from the 1st!

Competitions & Events / Chunk of the Month - Winner & Next Contest!
« on: 20 Nov 2016, 15:59:54 »

October's contest for the theme of Halloween is of course now over, and I've been through the entries, once again lots of great entries. The winner for October's contest is: rueyeet. You see see the design at Noobscraft.com/cotm/ and it's in the screenshot below.


Thank-you to everyone who took part in last month's contest...participation awards and prizes for the month including those for taking part will be given out soon.


December'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! Since we're so far into November already we're going to skip this month and give you the opportunity to get started on December's builds early. 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. Because we're early this month you'll need to wait until at least the 1st of December before submitting this time! 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 January for this time) I (and possibly other members of the staff team) 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 :D!
  • 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) (again that will be the end of December)! 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 December; the theme is Winter! Remember you can't submit your entry until the 1st of December, but you can start building or planning from today :).

Server Announcements / Unexpected Server Downtime
« on: 19 Nov 2016, 15:33:49 »
Just a quick post to let you know that the server is now back online after being unavailable for a few hours earlier today. I'm very sorry about the downtime and will be investigating the cause to try and prevent a similar issue occurring again.

It's back now anyway!

193
Server Announcements / Minecraft 1.11
« on: 17 Nov 2016, 19:10:19 »

Just a quick post to let you know that you can now connect to the server using the new Minecraft 1.11. We've not completely updated server things fully so you won't get access to the new server-side features yet, but you can at least play on the server even if you've upgrade, and will get access to any client side changes :).

This isn't our complete update to 1.11 (or 10 or 9) we will eventually be updating to give you all of those new features, but it's not ready just yet, once it's all done and we're ready to update we will do so, and I'll post explaining that at the time.

Competitions & Events / Fall Quest 2016
« on: 13 Nov 2016, 18:42:38 »

Just a quick post to let you know that thanks to WarriorBen the first part of November's "Fall Quest" is available at /warp theme! As normal you can get the token to begin it using /kit theme.


Also the trades for Noobween will be up for just a few more days so if you've got any Noobween Candy left over it is probably best to trade it in now.

Server Announcements / Recap of October 2016
« on: 13 Nov 2016, 16:59:06 »

Just a quick recap of some of the things done in October 2016. This post is later than planned, sorry about that.

General

Server Changes
Not many larger features were introduced to the server itself with all of the event planning which was taking place, but there was a lot of behind-the-scenes work for some big changes to commands coming hopefully in November, and also a few smaller changes. You can try using just '/tpa' for an example of one of the features I've been working on, using simple menus like that means you won't need to remember all of the different commands for lots of the tiny settings etc. These features will be spread to other plugins over time.

Competitions & Events

Coming in November
I realise that not everything from the planned updates for October were completed so those which weren't completed will be coming hopefully soon now.
Other things coming hopefully by the end of November:
  • A simplification of the Wilderness commands to make it easier to get going as a new player. Using a system similar to the /tpa one described above. Here's a short clip of an example below:

    If you've got any feedback after seeing that please let me know :).

If any of those in the top 10 list make it into next month's list too they'll earn a bonus 10,000Nbz on top of the prize for their rank too for each consecutive month they've been in the top 10 for! (So those with +10k this month could get a bonus 20k next month :D, 20k get 30k, etc., and the rest still +10k if they keep in the top 10!) For more information about this read this post.

November's competition already started on the 1st so be sure to take part to try and get into the top 10 for this month! Use /vote in-game or visit Noobscraft.com/pmc! The Top Voters for this month (November) will be announced hopefully in the first full weekend in December!

Server Announcements / Mining World and Nether Reset!
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 14:02:40 »

The Mining World and Nether have been reset for November!

The End hasn't been reset this time because the quest area still exists at the spawn of it, but I have respawned the dragon, and there is still lots of end stone and obsidian available to collect.

Competitions & Events / Chunk of the Month - Winner & October's Contest!
« on: 9 Oct 2016, 17:31:03 »

September's contest for a Tree House is now over, and I've been through the entries, lots of great entries. Because I didn't specify it explicitly in the rules section of the original post I included all entries using /cotm submit, even if they didn't reply to the topic (and if you don't reply in the future I'll do the same). The winner for September's contest is therefore: AJ_Andy. You see see his design at Noobscraft.com/cotm/ and it's in the screenshot below.



Thank-you to everyone who took part in last month's contest...participation awards and prizes for the month including those for taking part will be given out soon (potentially already depending on when you read this :P).


October'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 I (and possibly other members of the staff team) 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 :D!
  • 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 this month's theme (October) the theme is Halloween!
