Minecraft - £8 Very well spent

[Tycho]

I can put money in but can't commit to running it. How much time does it take?

[MonkeySpeed69]

Ill put in the £3(+) a month to keep the server going - but i dont know what running it involves so would probably leave that to someone more suited to it

[callmedave]

I'm happy to set up £3 standing order, but as above, no clue about running a server.

[Jetblackonetenth]

As the oldest one who plays I don't mind being responsible for the server. I have to deal with server provider for my company site so I know what a pain they can be.

I might need some assistance in organising the minecraft side of things but between myself, Luke and my eldest son (when he has time) we should be able to sort it.

It would be best if everyone paid direct to the server each month then there is no worries about the money handling side (ATJ posted some instructions a few pages back on how to do it - it is quite simple)

My only concern is that we have had this 'incident' and no one has admitted to it which leaves a little mistrust between the players...

Instructions how to make payments



To donate funds :

https://jestservers.com/panel/clientarea.php

Login: [e-mail]
Pass: minecraft

Click on 'add funds' under the account info. (on the right hand side) - unless you want to pay the whole invoice

Select amount (in USD) you wish to donate.

Choose payment method.



If 5 of us donate £3.00 a month then it will keep going
If you want to do a couple of months in 1 go then I'm sure that will be fine

I don't mind being the one with overall responsibility but I would not chase people to pay so unless 5 people contributed it would not get paid.


Do people want me to take over the running of the server or can we buy ATJ a couple of and persuade him to continue running it, with financial support from others


So is it time to put this sorry incident behind us and get back to enjoying minecraft?

[callmedave]

I would like it if we can move on (even help repair the damage?) I will make a payment today if I know the server will continue.

[callmedave]

I went onto a different server last nigh and the PH one is online!

I looked at the villager trade area again and it looks like someone has layed the tracks down in a way to move the villagers about. It's very odd.

[Tycho]

Guys, I've just paid the $20 outstanding for this month and hopefully we can move on from this episode and get back to the usual PH Minecraft way of all mucking in and getting along. I guess if it happens again then I'll not be willing to carry on.

Let's try and forget this happened and start over.

[Merp]

I've just sent the olds home, so I may be on later today or tomorrow. I will drop some monies into the account.

[All that jazz]

All just keep playing. I am too busy with work to do anything. I will pay the bill when it's due but if no-one's going to play then I'll cancel it. The server log shows a few sporadic 5 minute visits so it's seeming like no-one actually wants to play on it to me. To coin the old saying: use it or lose it.


ETA: @ Tycho, thanks for the donation.

[Tycho]

I've had a busy weekend with both sets of grandparents down so after a relatively relaxing day at the office I'd like to get on the server at some point today.

[MonkeySpeed69]

Ill be back on the normal amount as of tonight, ill get Terry to stick some money in for the both of us later on too

if we all stick some money in every now and then to cover all of the cost/month then no reason as to why we cant all carry of having fun on there

[MonkeySpeed69]

Me and JetBlack spent about 2 hours trying to replace the villagers, got a few ones back and a couple of new ones too..but it really isnt a fun job..Fully appreciate ATJ's hard work now, it isnt a quick/easy process :P
Another day i'll carry on trying to get some more back, maybe when im feeling a little more patient haha

I spent a bit at the tree farm so if anyone needs oak wood theres a few stacks of logs in the sorting system on the lower floor of our house


We also put $20 in the pot to keep us going for a little longer, ill put some more in again soon as i want the server to keep going

The villager trading is indeed time-consuming and tedious work. I have (had) a list of all the current best trades for each enchantment and updated it along with the villagers when I got one with a better trade. It's hard to keep track of because often you'll get 1 villager which has good trades for more than 1 enchantment so you have to make a choice which cell to put him in and then make a note on a sign for anyone wanting the other enchantment.

At the moment the only villagers of interest are the librarians, tool smiths, weapon smiths and armour smiths. The rest all need to be killed as they are largely useless.

Until I have time to play there needs to be a block on the villager stream somewhere after the lava for the iron golems as too many villagers will get produced and eventually lag the server from sheer numbers of entities as they'll be spawning whenever someone is online. Adding another water source block at head height supported by signs in the underground stream should do the trick as they'll float up into it and drown.

Also need tons of sugar cane, like double chests full of it. One librarian can easily chew through about 6 stacks of paper just trying to unlock his trades if he's stubborn and won't refresh.

Btw @ Tycho and Monkeyspeed, you've not actually paid anything. All you've both done is create invoices.

That's strange, my Paypal account is showing as completed:



Item title:
JestServers.com - Invoice #23300
Date:19 Apr 2015
Time:11:48:51 BST
Status: Completed


I have started a basic sugar cane farm behind my treehouse, it's not automated but it is quite large. I've put some cane in the chest next to the original automated one by the melon farm.

Ill set up some more sugar cane farming and hopefully between us all we can get enough to do the trades

Ill have a look at blocking the villagers when i go on tonight, see what i can do

And re the payment, JetBlack did it so ill get him to investigate it later..he probably couldnt understand it in his old age

Cheeky Kids !!!

I had a confirmation that I had made a payment as well

I know I did it right because I have done it before

[Tycho]

The sugar cane chest in the communal area is filling up nicely. If you go and harvest the cane behind my treehouse the just watch out for mobs as I still need to mob proof it.
