ANNOUNCE: "THE VALLEYS" Server
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 07:42
A few days ago started a new server, "THE VALLEYS".
Name: THE VALLEYS
IP: animine.org
Port: 54000
Location: Newark, NJ
Web site: https://animine.org/
Official Discord: https://discord.gg/hcNfrHq
(Yes, that is the same port on the VPS I used for my previous failed attempt at a second server, The Shootout, a few months ago. If The Shootout is still in your favorites, it will be replaced by The Valleys.)
It is a sandbox server, inspired by Anarchist Vanilla Server, except it's not entirely vanilla and not entirely anarchist.
While I initially intended it to be a vanilla server, I got bored and added more stuff to it. Don't worry, it will not have as much as The Creative Gardens does, and lacks the plantlife, moretrees, and tiny trees mods which make Creative Gardens beautiful but slow for mobile users. For this reason users get 'fast' privileges by default on The Valleys, which is not granted on The Creative Gardens.
It is a sandbox server, but has the anti-lava dumping mod, and fire and tnt are disabled. Obvious griefing (like pit griefing, water dumping, and misuse of the streams) are still prohibited. The "spawn pit" and "spawn building" are obviously protected.
There is damage on the server, and (since 2019) monsters, but no PvP.
The Valleys is so named because it uses the rarely-found valleys mapgen.
Mods which are used include homedecor_modpack, signs_lib, boost_cart, coloredwood, farming redo, unifieddyes, moreblocks and moreores, as well as the standard admin stuff.
The standard animals mobs are also included, these provide food for health and a lot less work when you need wool. In late 2017, horses were added. In late 2019, monsters were added.
As of 7/14/17, travelnets were added.
As of 1/10/18, lots of new stuff was added, including armor (no pvp) and waypoints, and the non-"lite" version of unified_inventory is now used, providing home buttons (this is different from /sethome and /home, so you can have 2 homes now :)
It offers the same commands as Creative Gardens: /spawn (into Spawn Pit), /teleport, /sethome, and /home
The rules are the same as Creative Gardens:
Rule #1: Be nice
Rule #2: No hacking
Rule #3: No griefing
Rule #4: No impersonation
Rule #5: No bugging
Rule #6: All language, content, activity, and creations must be politically correct and family friendly.
Rule #7: No recruiting for discussions outside of Minetest (IM, Skype, etc). Public IRC channels and public Discord servers are OK.
Rule #8: No sharing of passwords
No screenshots will be posted, due to it being a sandbox server.
Have fun and let me know what you think!
