====== ⛏ Deadbeats Minecraft ====== {{:deadbeats:logo_dbmc.png?nolink |oh no tedbeet what happened to you? you've been cubed!}} 'The Deadbeats' //"was"// a group of let's players/streamers, started back in September 2012, on Minecraft version 1.4.2. We've all changed a fair bit over the past 10 years, and a majority of us don't have channels anymore. There's been 4 previous worlds, of varying success and playtime. I want this to be our '//last//' world. Until mojang breaks it again. There isn't a ton of us, but I'd like to build out this world, and just generate new chunks for new biomes. If we have to, I'll expand the world border. I also welcome players to invite close friends to hopefully make this server more active, and justify the cost. This page is meant to be a welcome to new players, and documentation of the server.\\ --- //[[http://vidvisionify.com/is/elsewhere/|Vidvisionify / Phil ⚑]]// \\ {{https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQGXJjyXMAMDZLv.jpg?250px|l'm just gonna slap this right here}} === 🧭 Getting Started === ⛏ **Minecraft 1.19** (Running Paper)\\ 🌎 **Server IP:** //deadbeats.mc.gg// \\ It may take a few tries to connect, make sure you've been whitelisted by \\ [[http://vidvisionify.com/is/elsewhere|Phil]], [[https://neurario.com/|Splatsune]] or [[https://twitter.com/ashendeer|ashendeer]]. \\ β€’ You can play vanilla, however the [[deadbeats:minecraft:modpack|modpack]] is reccomended.\\ β€’ If you decide to make your own modpack, our server has [[https://github.com/plasmoapp/plasmo-voice|🎀 PlasmoVoice]]!\\ β€’ I'd suggest going through [[https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/resource-packs/|VanillaTweaks]] to create a personalized useful resource pack, and check out [[https://db.thegeneral.chat/minecraft/map/|BlueMap]] to explore the world.\\ β€’ The server restarts daily at [[https://time.is/compare/0700PM_in_Chicago|7PM US Central]] === πŸ“œ Rules === - [[http://www.wheatonslaw.com/dontbeadick.html|Don't be a d*ck.]] - Don't be the reason for another rule. - Keep things rated PG-13, so it's safe to record/stream. - Please leave dated signs on finished builds. :)\\ **[[deadbeats:minecraft:modpack|1.19 Clientside Modpack]]**\\ //You'll also need [[https://polymc.org/download/|PolyMC]] and [[https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java18|Java 18.]]// \\ https://vvify.space/share/KX-ATnxT πŸ”‘ //dbmc// \\ ==== πŸ’¬ Comfort-Survival Playstyle ==== Ever since our original server, we've been fairly laid back in our playstyle. This is why we use a modded server. Our plugins and commands try to lower the barrier to keep interesting play and builds, instead of grinding. 'Balance' is not a major concern, but we try to be mindful of those with limited ability and playtime. \\ \\ As part of our [[#πŸ“ƒ Paper Plugins|'lightly' modded server]], we do have several commands to help get around the world. * ''/spawn'' takes you back to Spawn. * ''/home'' allows you to teleport to up to 3 private homes. * ''/unloadinv'' drops off items from your inventory (not hotbar) into nearby chests with like items. * ''/searchitem'' lets you search nearby chests. A particle effect will lead you to the right one. * ''/s'' will put you into a limited spectator mode. Great for taking screenshots. * ''/tpa '' to ask to teleport to someone or ''/tpahere '' to teleport them to you. * ''/es'' will allow you to Sneak+RightClick on signs and edit them. While we do have the ability to setup ''/warp''s, We'd prefer to use signs to teleport instead, encouraging players to create 'warp point' builds.\\ A few gamerules have been changed, but can be reset upon request -- * Difficulty has been set to Hard. * Weather has been turned off. ''doWeatherCycle'' * Only a third of players need to sleep to advance the night. ''playersSleepingPercentage'' * Fire will not spread to other blocks. ''doFireTick'' * PvP is on, but not encouraged. ''pvp'' * Pillagers will not patrol. ''doPatrolSpawning'' * 500 mobs can share the same space before they start taking damage. ''maxEntityCramming'' * Spectators cannot generate new chunks. ''spectatorsGenerateChunks'' * The world border is currently 15,000 30,000 blocks wide. ''/worldborder get'' === πŸ”§ Datapacks === Data packs can be used to override or add new advancements, dimensions, functions, loot tables, predicates, recipes, structures, tags, world generation settings, and biomes without any code modification. AKA, the closest we ended up getting to the mod API. [[https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/datapacks/|VanillaTweaks]] is great, and we have a majority of thier datapacks installed.\\ * __Crafting Tweaks__ * __Back to Blocks__ - Allows you to craft full blocks from stairs and slabs. * __Dropper to Dispenser__ - Allows you to convert a Dropper to a Dispenser using a Bow, or by using String and Sticks. * __Rotten Flesh To Leather__ - Allows you to smelt Rotten Flesh into Leather. * __Universal + Sandstone Dying__ - Allows you to craft Sandstone with Red Dye to get Red Sandstone.

''/trigger TreeCapitator'' === πŸ“ƒ Paper Plugins === Our server runs 'Paper', which is an optimized version of 'Spigot' which is what 'Bukkit' turned into. Basically a way to modify the server while still allowing it to be playable with vanilla Minecraft. We shouldn't rely on these plugins too heavily, as they do tend to break between versions, but thier ability to expand and ease gameplay is always appreciated. There are a few of these where I found out later we could be using datapacks, but for now the plugins are working well enough. * [[https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/advancedteleport.64139/|AdvancedTeleport]] - handles multiple teleportation functions * [[https://bluemap.bluecolored.de/|BlueMap]] - Generates 3d-maps of worlds and displays them in your browser.
