DC10 - It's finally here!
Sun, 13 Mar 2016 15:54:50 +0000


Greetings Dreamcrafters!





As I’m sure you are all aware: after 1 year, 5 months, and 27 days (Since 1.8 was released) Minecraft 1.9 is finally upon us! As is the normal practice with a major version bump, Dreamcraft will be having a map reset. Please note that this reset is more comprehensive than last time, and will wipe both mcMMO levels and your REM, along with Jobs XP!



For those of you who don’t know, Mojang’s focus in this update has been combat, and general polishing of Minecraft. A few new things to take note of are:



Shields have been added


Combat has been balanced so it’s no longer who clicks the fastest wins – weapons have cool-downs between being effective.


Dual-wielding!


The End has been seriously expanded upon, having a lot more area to explore, and things to find.


Beetroot, and beetroot soup have been added to the game.


Many potion effects can now be attached to arrows.


I could go on listing all the changes and fixes that have happened since 1.8, but that would take all day! If anyone is interested anyway, check out the link here http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/1.9 .



We've got a couple of new features planned to come to DC10 in the near future, but for now we're taking a break from rushing it off the presses to you guys . 



We're all looking forward to seeing everyone - old and new! - in DC10 with us!





- Oz and the Dreamcraft staff team.


1.9
Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:30:37 +0000
More news coming soon.. 






Name changing
Tue, 08 Dec 2015 05:50:33 +0000
Greetings Dreamcrafters!



I won't be long - name changing has been re-enabled on Dreamcraft. This isn't entirely without risks though, as we haven't done it before.



In the event you change your name, you do this entirely at your own risk. Any loss of inventory or player statistics, which may or may not occur with a name change is entirely up to you to risk. You will be unable to access horses you have protected with HorseTools if you change your  name. 



Any grief committed with any name changing exploits will be grounds for an immediate ban.



With that said, enjoy!


Nether Reset  01/01/2016
Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:51:39 +0000
The nether will be reset on January 1st 2016.  At the beginning of the map, it was said that the nether would reset monthly, but we haven't been on top of that.  With that said, on January 1st 2016, the nether will be refreshed with a brand new seed.  Glowstone, netherbrick, quartz, and all the other nether-related things will be back in an abundant supply.  Of course, this means that builds and items/chests in the nether will be removed as well.  Please clear your things out of the nether over the next couple weeks, or else it will be lost forever and staff can't get it back for you. 



After this reset, the next reset will be March 1st 2016 (unless 1.9 comes out, then it might be sooner). 


Updates - 9/1/15
Wed, 02 Sep 2015 13:52:26 +0000
The nether has been reset with a new seed and now has PvP nether-wide.

-A small area around spawn's nether portal (in the nether) will be protected.

-When you enter the nether, take some time to read the rules board there!





Updated the Jobs plugin.

-Type /jobs gtop to see the top levels regardless of job.





Added the GriefPrevention plugin, only using the pvp and chat aspects, NOT the land claiming.

-Can only log in once every 30 seconds.

-Death messages from a specific player only show once every 2 minutes.

-Spam blocker will ban offenders. If you feel you were wrongly banned for spam, please post an appeal on the forums.



-THE FOLLOWING PVP RELATED BULLETS ARE FOR NETHER PVP AND THE FEW PVP ARENAS IN THE OVERWORLD.

-Players with no items cannot be harmed by PvP means.

-When hit with PvP damage, players are put into combat mode for 15 seconds(since last PvP damage).

-While in combat mode, items cannot be dropped.

-While in combat mode, logging out kills the player.

-While in combat mode, the commands /home and /spawn are blocked.



-Known issue: The auto-help for "how do I claim land" leads to the wrong land claiming videos(for our server).

-Known issue: While IP addresses are blocked by the spamblocker, URLs are not (i.e. dreamcraft.org isn't blocked but 123.4.567.8 is).

-Known issue: When a player respawns, the text makes it seem like there is PvP in the overworld. To be clear, PvP is only in the nether, as well as a few PvP arenas in the overworld.


Nether Reset on September 1st...with a PvP twist!
Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:29:51 +0000
On September 1st, the nether will be reset with a new seed.

The reset will also change the nether into a global PvP area.

Now when you're in the nether, you'll have to watch for minecraft's hardest mobs...each other!

Team up with friends, hunt for unsuspecting victims, or use the nether for pvp arenas.



Changes on September 1st...



-New nether seed.

-Global PvP in the nether.

-A small area around spawn's nether portal (in the nether) will be protected.

-We will not refund items lost in nether griefing. Everything in the nether is free game, including structures.

-We will not refund items lost in PvP. If you can't afford to lose it...don't bring it with you!!

-Harassing members is very against the rules. No ganging up around the spawn nether portal for cheap kills, and no harassing through chat.


Updates - 8/10/15
Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:15:26 +0000
(Thanks isokitten for the suggestion!) Added a plugin to make mob spawning more common, because normal mob spawning is weird. This plugin limits the amount of mobs that spawn in chunks, as well as limits the amount of farming mobs that can be bred in a chunk.



THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

-New mob spawns should be more plentiful.

-Mob grinders/exp farms will probably see a decrease in functionality.

-The more players in an area, the more mobs will spawn! Go hunting with friends!

-Animal mob farms will need to be wider to allow for breeding. Only 30 animals are allowed to be in a chunk.

-If more than 30 animals are in a chunk and you attempt to breed them, THE ANIMALS WILL CONSUME THE ITEM AND WON'T PRODUCE OFFSPRING.

-This "overbreeding" will still give experience though.





JOBS: SLAYER

Exp went down and payouts went up. Still trying to make this a viable job, and the mob spawning update, paired with this change, should definitely help.





Also...the ability to sit on stairs("chairs") has been added. All you need is a stair block to sit on. You can design it however you'd like. To sit on chairs, get close to the chair(within 2 blocks) and right click it WITH NOTHING IN YOUR HAND. Press shift(crouch key) to get off the chair.





As always, if you notice anything odd or buggy after this update, please message myself or another staff member and we will look into it. Thanks, and enjoy!


The Dream Bazaar is now LIVE!
Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:19:03 +0000
!THE DREAM BAZAAR IS NOW LIVE!

WHAT THEY ARE


Player shops are shops that are for purchase for members. Purchasing a building or plot lets you to make a shop that has a quick connection to spawn, allowing for greater exposure and ease of access to buying and selling items.




WHERE THEY ARE



The Dream Bazaar is located northwest of spawn. Instead of walking, you can also use the "SHOP" portal in the spawn town. Go out the front of the spawn castle and you will see the portal right in front of you.










GETTING AROUND IN THE DREAM BAZAAR



You may run around at your leisure, or you may use the warp network set up around the bazaar! Find one of the boards below and click on the location you wish to go to.






COSTS



There are two types of shops available.



Premade shops: 30,000 REM

Shop Plots: 25,000 REM



PREMADE SHOPS are already built and come in a variety of designs. They have different shapes and dimensions, but they all cost the same and have their store-fronts facing the central street. Players that run these shops can change the interior to their liking, but the exterior must stay relatively untouched. These shops would do well for players who are having trouble thinking of a design to build, don't feel like building a plot(but want the freedom to design the interior!), or want to be along the central street.




SHOP PLOTS are empty plots of prime shop-land that players can freebuild their dream shop on. Players can build whatever they wish so long as it's not offensive and fits within the maximum shop dimensions of 15x15x15. This size includes one block down(the ground) and 14 blocks high. A quick visual of the dimensions can be seen below. Shop plots are located along the side streets and are a bit cheaper than the premade shops. These shops would work for a player that wants to design their shop(inside and out) and save a little REM.






REQUIREMENTS



Shop owners are expected to know the requirements for operating a shop. If these requirements are broken repeatedly, the shop owner may lose their ownership of the shop.

1) Nothing offensive. Keep things clean.

2) Stay stocked up. A shop that goes unstocked and inactive for a few weeks will likely lose its ownership.

3) For premade shops, only alter the interior. If your changes drastically alter the outside of the premade building, they will be reverted and you will get a warning. Small changes are fine.





HOW TO GET ONE



- Read the SHOP REQUIREMENTS above!

- Find out what type of shop you want, and the area of your choice.

- Find the SHOP TICKET BOOTH at the market east entrance.

- Buy the shop ticket for the shop area you chose, premade or plot.

- Once you have a "ticket", arrange for a staff member to receive your ticket and they will grant you access to the shop area you desire.

- Happy selling(and/or buying)!
