Dang I have sinned, when I was a kid I kept auctioning 2880 slimeballes because I had a DSU(chest that holds 2 000 000 000 from the same items) full off it.
I’m hoping to get chat handling merged into the Sponge implementation so that some player interaction can work. I think the server should verify that you’re a member on the forums somehow.
Should be possible if I can get a kludged implementation of the existing api to work for the server. It could also be done manually by an admin or automatically by parsing the log and I don’t know what interface it would use to interact with the forums
Well discourse has an API so it wouldn’t be hard to interact with. I just don’t know what to do to verify it. Use an account and send it a PM with a code only given to the player?
I don’t think Factions would be hard to setup/manage.
I setup my server’s factions within an hour.
But perhaps vanilla survival, if it was easier.
I know an idling server was what the OP asked, but I just feel like something to do, like survival or factions, would make it more fun for the community to hang out.
I think so. Have a forums account that’s reserved for only checking that, and have it send the player a PM through that account with a randomly created string.
Why not just a vanilla forge server? In all honesty though, I don’t think it would get used much past the 3rd day… I can only see it really being used for chatting… but we have IRC for that. I think it’s a nice idea, but not viable… unless it was community managed… I’d rather have the development team focussed on getting an API ready than moderating a server. That’s just my two cents.
Just a quick note @GeekyServers and @MrMysteri0us, from what I remember posting IP’s isn’t allowed anymore unless its in a PM and the user wants it or whatever. So I would recommend removing them… (sorry @MrMysteri0us )
This will probably matter more when we’ve got a version of the implementation to actually test. But hopefully it could be used as a way to test out bugs and provide a closely logged and monitored environment for at least a handful of people. At any rate I’ll throw something up like that when Forge 1.8 is out.
