localzuk Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Announcing the brand new member of the EduGeek Minecraft server family! Server address: mc.edugeek.net:25566 FTB Infinity Evolved can be downloaded via the Curse launcher, or the legacy FTB Launcher. In order to encourage some building and some fun, this server is going to be a little different - as there is a competition. Prizes First prize - A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Second prize - A BBC micro:bit Runner up - A Minecraft plushy I reserve the right to substitute the prize for something of equivalent value, should the original prize not be available! The competition Now, the goal - to build the most impressive floating island base, complete with transport solution (flying is not permitted for island to island travel, think of your guests!) The spawn islands should give you some idea of what I mean by floating island base, but by no-means should they be seen as prescriptive of what things should look like! The competition is designed so that all play styles can be accommodated. So, those of you who are more vanilla style players, you aren't going to be disadvantaged if you don't use lots of modded stuff. Rules No copying things direct from other players, servers or schematics online. Everything must be built in a survival manner - no cheating! Judging will be completed by me, @localzuk, and my decision is final. The competition will run from today, 2nd June 2016, until 30th September 2016, with judging happening on the 1st October. The server files will be downloaded at midnight on 30th September 2016, and judging will occur offline (so as to prevent any more changes happening). Normal server rules apply. The server is PG, just like EduGeek. Any misbehaviour will lead to being banned from the server. Griefing will lead to an instant ban. Being banned from the server will disqualify you from entry into the competition. Teaming up is not permitted for the competition entries, though non-competition building can be performed in teams. The competition is being ran by me, @localzuk, and not directly by EduGeek - it is a bit of fun for all of us, and not overly serious! No purchase is necessary to enter - simply whitelist yourself by putting your Minecraft username into your profile here on Edugeek, wait up to an hour for your account to be whitelisted, then just log in.

localzuk Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 OK. Spawn protection was messing things up. A quick restart and things should be working as expected.
bald_pig Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I broke it I've lucked out this time, I'm quite pleased!
bald_pig Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 What did you break?? The spawn button and the barrel when you were there yesterday
localzuk Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 The spawn button and the barrel when you were there yesterday Ah, wasn't your fault then... Also, bumping!
bald_pig Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Can we bump the ts server too? It's just me on there lol
Geoff Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 I've kinda moved to Discord for all my voice chat needs.
bald_pig Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Finally found redstone! Now have 15 blocks of the stuff, time to get power!
bald_pig Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Teamspeak should be mostly ready, connect to ts.edugeek.net and please try and using a bookmark to set your username to your EduGeek username for membership tags. So far it's just me and sometimes Localz, and he doesn't talk to me
localzuk Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 So far it's just me and sometimes Localz, and he doesn't talk to me Haha, I'm not much of a talker...
bald_pig Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Haha, I'm not much of a talker... In that case, I'll switch to continuous broadcast and just keep talking at you
localzuk Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 So far, only 4 people are on the server, including me, so the chances of winning something are currently 1:1...
localzuk Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Hmm... it crashed as soon as someone logged in... I shall investigate and get report back!
MrEprise Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 It was me attempting to log in, and then one of my powerline adapters dropped out simultaneously oddly enough which made me think it was just me.
localzuk Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Well, its back up. Crash message was pretty generic, so maybe your dropout confused it?
localzuk Posted July 21, 2016 Author Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Looks like the server host is having some connectivity issues this morning. Server is up, but can't connect to it reliably. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it starts playing ball later. Probably related to the Telecity/LINX issues, as can't connect to their websites either. Edited July 21, 2016 by localzuk
localzuk Posted July 21, 2016 Author Posted July 21, 2016 Able to connect back in again. Taking the opportunity to do some updates and a reboot. Server should be back up and running within the hour.
MrEprise Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Server is currently showing as offline - guess it's crashed again?
localzuk Posted August 6, 2016 Author Posted August 6, 2016 Hi all, sorry about it being offline! The server underwent some preventative maintenance by the host and now is the first chance I've had to connect back in and get things running again (been at a wedding). Server is coming up as I type.
localzuk Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 Sorry everyone, real life has really been in the way lately. The competition is extended until midday Saturday 15th.
mikeglover Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Hi localzuk, the server has been down for me for few weeks now. I presumed because the competition had ended. Can you confirm it is still online?
