A My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-themed survival server Minecraft 1.8.8 | PvM / Build | Custom | Classes & Races Server IP: www.liquestria.net
Features
Minecraft since 1.0.0
Liquestria has a long pedigree. Over the past four years(!), our few but dedicated builders have made our worlds great. From the Valley of the Moon to the Lunar Cathedral, from the eastern Neighpon to the Archipelago University, the years have been kind to our little community. It’s a persistent project available to those of you who want to scratch that particular Minecraft itch in a social environment.
You can play as one of five visually and mechanically distinctive races in Liquestria — Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Zebra, or Griffon. All five offer additional skills and attributes unique to their respective classes on top of the complete vanilla Minecraft experience.
With nine interconnected worlds (and counting), Liquestria always has a variety of projects. From the primary showcase world of Liquestria, to the vast survival freebuild world Everfree, to the cloud world Cirrus, and to the great mountains of the Griffon’s homeland of The Eyrie, this server was built to cater to most of the tastes of our #tlponies community.
Some of the worlds are very recent, and not much love and attention has been given them just yet. They are there as blank slates, a place for people who want to start a new project. Hopefully, we have something for just about everyone.
Most of the code that defines our extended classes and races system was written from scratch specifically for Liquestria. Our players come to us with concerns or ideas for abilities and skills, and if at all possible we try to find a way to make those ideas work. This system gets added to all the time, so it’s not uncommon to wake up one morning and discover that you can now move creepers with your mind.
This does mean that we put a greater emphasis on fun than we do on balance. We deemed this to be a justifiable sacrifice if it meant you could throw a giant glowing sphere of energy that explodes into lightning.
Our optional client pack download improves the server experience greatly. It features optional atmospheric sounds and music, a colourful and vibrant remix of the classic John Smith Legacy resource pack, easy-to-install shaders, and a few client mods which improve server accessibility. There will be several versions of each pack available (with and without music), and you can grab whichever one suits your tastes or needs.
Liquestria is nevertheless fully playable on a vanilla Minecraft client, and we take care to keep ourselves compatible and comparable. We want everyone to be able to connect, regardless of system.
Reliable Server & High Uptime
Our host is a strong German-built machine. Our sysadmin is a strong German-born administrator.
It would be a bit intimidating if they weren’t on our side.

Races & Classes
In Liquestria you play as one of five races: Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Zebra, or Griffon. All five can do just about everything you can do in vanilla Minecraft, but they each have their own unique skills and abilities on top of that which offer some interesting quirks and gameplay mechanics.
All of the races have their own traits (Earth Ponies are more hardy and athletic, Pegasi can fly) and their own particular set of abilities (Unicorns can cast various kinds of spells, Griffons are master archers who can launch volleys of arrows).
When you apply to become a member of Liquestria, you are asked to choose between one of the five. You can change your race later until you find one you really like. We would prefer for people to eventually stick with one race, though, so once you have some play time, give it some thought.
Earth Ponies are the workhorses, athletic and strong. They deal more damage and take less damage than the other races, and they can jump longer distances and carry more weight (almost double the normal inventory space). They also have access to a variety of tools, such as the portable workbench and repair block. They can grow and farm apple trees, which provide most of the food for Liquestria.
Their talents are geared towards mining, farming, woodcutting, melee combat, and construction.

Playing as an Earth Pony
Earth Ponies are athletic and strong. They move faster, break blocks faster, and jump higher than the other races, all without needing that fancy schmancy magic or those cheater wings of some ponies we could mention. They are the kings and queens of passive traits, and as a result they are easy and intuitive to play. Have you played vanilla Minecraft? This is that, but crunchier.
Athleticism
Most of the Earth Pony traits are passive, which means they always function without your input. Faster block breaking, faster mining, faster movement, increased underwater breathing — these are all passive skills.
A few of their abilities can be activated and deactivated. For instance, to jump higher, you have to sprint to activate athletic mode. Once done, you can jump far higher and further than normal. To toggle athletic mode off, just crouch and you will return to normal.
Backpack
As an Earth Pony, you have almost double the inventory space of everyone else in the form of a backpack whose contents you cannot lose by dying. This backpack comes equipped with a portable workbench.
Key bindings (if you have downloaded the Liquestria Client Pack):
B – opens the backpack
V – opens the workbench
If you are not using the Macro/Keybind Mod, type these commands in chat:
/b – opens the backpack
/w – opens the workbench
Item Repair Earth Ponies can repair items for much cheaper than the other races, and they keep the enchants when they do. Earth Pony blacksmiths are the best in the realm. [NOTE: Repair functionality under repair. We will update this once it’s ready.]
Stonecrafting
Earth Ponies are expert craftsmen, and masters of working with stone. In addition to breaking stone faster than other races, they can carve or chisel stone bricks naturally, letting them create great looking stone structures on the fly.
Convert Cobblestone -> Mossy cobblestone: Right-click with seeds
Convert Stone brick -> Mossy stone brick: Right-click with seeds
Convert Stone brick -> Cracked stone brick: Left-click with flint
Convert Stone brick -> Chiselled stone brick: Right-click with flint
Apple trees & farming Earth Ponies are also expert farmers, and they can plant apple trees via the well-known Appleseed plugin. Apples are the most desirable food source in Liquestria, and our farmers work hard to keep us supplied.
To plant an apple tree, you have to till the soil using a hoe, then plant the apple as you would a seed. This will create a planted sapling of an apple tree. If you fertilize it with bonemeal, it will grow into a large apple tree.
The apple trees drop apples over time. After some time has passed, the tree will require further fertilization before it will grow more apples. You can see whether or not a tree is an Apple tree, and whether or not it requires fertilization, by equipping a wood hoe and right clicking on the trunk. If it requires fertilization, fertilize it with more bonemeal.
You can also mark the trees with signs, which will automatically display what type of tree it is, and whether or not it requires fertilizer. Place a sign on the tree, and write [Appleseed] in the top line, like this:
The sign will change to display the tree type (in our case, “apple”). This makes them easy to differentiate from the other trees near your orchard. The sign will also tell you if the tree needs fertilization – note the colour of the text. If it’s green, it’s healthy and dropping items. If it’s red, it requires fertilization in the form of bonemeal.
Unicorns are students of magic. They can learn and cast a wide range of spells, and they can create items and artifacts based on their knowledge and understanding of magic. They begin the game with few spells, but can learn over three dozen — some entertaining but mostly niche, and some that are very useful and powerful. They can command the elements, move items at range, and travel long distances with an effort of will and power. They are commonly called upon to create waypoints and enchanted items.
Their talents are geared towards all things magical.
Herbivore (Bonus to vegetables and processed food, penalties for eating meat)
Abilities
Spellcasting
Runecrafting
[SOON] Enchanting
[SOON] Archiving
Playing as a Unicorn
Unicorns have access to an incredibly diverse set of skills and spells that lets them explore, fight monsters, construct buildings, and set up all kinds of utilities and assets for other players. They can cast an array of fun and interesting spells, but using them properly requires study and preparation.
While you can play them just fine without spending much time learning how their abilities work, you will need to put in some effort if you want to know and understand everything they are capable of. The initial setup takes a bit of time, and you have to accumulate new spells over time, but for your efforts you are rewarded by being able to empower weapons and tools, teleport across maps and worlds, and launch glowing globes of energy that explode with lightning and burning.
Spellcasting
The main feature of the class is the spellcasting. You start off with seven spells, and can learn over two dozen as of writing, with more being added frequently.
Click here [coming soon!] for a Spellcasting tutorial
Runecrafting
The second feature of the class is Runecrafting ability. This is a very powerful, but often neglected art due to its unique challenges of preparation and memorization. Runecrafting lets you temporarily imbue incredibly powerful effects onto your tools and items, convert and move large pieces of land, and create and use teleporters.
Click here [coming soon!] for a Runecrafting tutorial
Enchanting
Unicorns are expert enchanters. They have an easy time getting the levels necessary for enchanting, and they have access to a second, more potent version of the enchanting table which lets them create specific items and artifacts that are more powerful than the standard stock.
The script that fuels this system is unique to our server, and is being rewritten and updated for 1.8. It may take some time before it’s done.
Click here [coming soon!] for an Enchanting tutorial
Farbuild
Unicorns can “farbuild”. By crouching and right-clicking, they are able to place blocks from up to 7 blocks away, helping them erect walls and fixtures without scaffolding. This is a passive ability and requires no mana.
Mana
Mana is the source of magic, and is expended when you cast spells. Unicorns regenerate mana over time, but they can also draw energy from the environment to do so much more quickly. While holding nothing, click on the ground with the left and right mouse button simultaneously, and stand still for a few seconds while you prepare.
Study of Magic
Unicorns occasionally spend a lot of time enchanting, crafting, and creating assets for other players. To gain the experience necessary to do this, they can study the art of magic. Simply visit any library, town hall, or bookstore that has a study section with magical tomes.
Examine the various bookshelves in the study hall, and then sit down at a table. The more books you grab, the more experience you’ll get. Once you’re at the table, read the books.
Pegasi can fly, which in the world of Minecraft is an incredibly useful ability. They are particularly suited for building constructions in the sky, and have the ability to prevent blocks from falling to the ground as they do so. They can change the weather at will, and even call down a storm that strikes enemies with lightning from above. They make excellent scouts and harvesters of rare materials, substances like clay, pumpkins, and cacti.
Their talents are geared towards mobility and speed, construction, and exploration.
Herbivore (Bonus to vegetables and processed food, penalties for eating meat)
Abilities
Command the weather
Command lightning bolts
Create white wool
Dye placed wool
Portable glass platform
Playing as a Pegasus
Just take to the skies! Flight is the most generally useful ability in Minecraft, and Pegasi are good at it. Building, exploring, mining, and fighting — Pegasi can do all of it proficiently and safely. If you’ve ever played creative mode, you know what’s up.
Once you get used to the flight controls, start looking at a few of the neat abilities Pegasi get that make their lives simpler. The carpet platform is a big one as it simplifies the construction of sky buildings. And then, once you get bored, you can turn the weather stormy and start throwing lightning bolts — because you are a Pegasus, and that means that you are awesome.
Flight
There are currently two ways to access the power of flight on our server:
The optional client download pack which includes a fly mod
In-game creative-style flight using the command /f
Main differences between client mod and creative style:
Creative style is available out-of-the-box for normal, unmodded Minecraft clients, whereas the client mod requires a download and installation
Client mod has two fly speeds (via a button toggle) whereas creative style only has one
Key bindings are different
Client mod uses F to engage fly mode, space & shift to ascend & descend, and E to activate speed boost. Keys are customizable, but the mod is in development and is slightly buggy in this regard
Creative style flight uses already-existing keybindings to function: double jump (jump while in mid-air) to engage fly mode, then jump/crouch to ascend/descend.
Creative style is way more “floaty” whereas the client mod offers sharp movement and better accuracy
Command Weather
You can change the weather using a /command line:
/sun
/storm
Lightning Bolt
Pegasi can call powerful bolts of lightning. They can only do this while outside and during a storm. To summon a bolt of lightning, either use the corresponding key in the optional Macro/Keybind Mod included in the client download, or bind the ability to an item by holding it in your hand and typing /c bind pegasus-lightning. You can then left-click to activate it. We recommend using a non-block item, like sticks, blaze rods, and the like.
Cloud expert
To simulate Pegasi manipulating clouds to make cloud buildings, Pegasi can generate wool. Right-click while holding shears to generate a stack. You can do this every 20 seconds.
Pegasi can also dye placed wool. Hold any dye and right-click a placed wool block to dye it. This consumes 1 dye per block.
To help prevent blocks from falling to the ground (or, in the case of Cirrus, out of the map) when working with constructions in mid-air, Pegasi can spawn a platform of glass under their feet. This platform catches falling blocks, and works as a base on which to place blocks for new constructions in the sky without needing blocks leading up to them. Double-click the crouch button to summon and dismiss your glass platform.

Legends speak of Pegasi that could fly so fast that they create shockwaves in their wake…
Zebras are mysterious wanderers, druids in command of nature as well as expert alchemists. They can tame animals at will, heal themselves and others, and call upon nature to help them. They have innate magical abilities that lets them cast a variety of nature based spells, and they can search for alchemical ingredients to fuel their brewing abilities. They can grow special tree types rare to Liquestria. They are expert herbalists and are proficient in water and nature magic, making them excellent gardeners and healers.
Their talents are geared towards magic, herbalism, and animal care.
Herbivore (Bonus to vegetables and processed food, penalties for eating meat)
Abilities

Alchemy
[SOON] Plant and grow special types of trees
[SOON] Unique recipes exclusive to Zebras
Convert cobblestone and stone brick into mossy equivalents
Playing as a Zebra
Zebras are druids who can cast nature spells and command animals in combat. As with Unicorns, setting up their spells and abilities requires a bit of patience and preparation, but once you’ve put in the effort you are rewarded with a powerful set of abilities.
In combat, Druids work best when they bring a couple of friends. Be they pets or other players, Zebras have a set of healing spells that keeps everyone alive. They have the most powerful AoE spell in the game in Call Lightning, and combined with Entangle and Geyser they have impeccable crowd control, guaranteed to take the edge off while their pets or poisons clean up the rest.
Outside of combat, pick up herbalism and alchemy. You can grow a bunch of special trees and bushes, [SOON] convert blocks between dirt, grass, and mycelium, and you can make any potion in the game with minimal effort. You’re big on buffs, so make use of that.
Spellcasting
Zebras can cast a variety of nature and water spells, from conjuring bolts of lightning to finding precious new water springs.

Alchemy
Zebras are expert brewers and herbalists. They can search for alchemical ingredients anywhere in the Everfree Forest to fuel their potions. Go into the forest and search (right-click while not holding an item) on any flower, grass, or vegetation, and you will spend a few moments searching the area for usable ingredients for your potions. You can do this every 30 seconds.
As a result of their alchemical skills, Zebras also poison some enemies on hit. This is a passive effect and doesn’t require any mana or ingredients.
Mana
Mana is the source of magic, and is expended when you cast spells. Zebras regenerate mana over time, but they can also draw energy from the environment to do so much more quickly. While holding nothing, click on the ground with the left and right mouse button simultaneously, and stand still for a few seconds while you prepare.
Stone and moss
As druids, Zebras can turn stones into their mossy equivalents. This costs 1 seed for every block.
Convert Cobblestone -> Mossy cobblestone: Right-click with seeds
Convert Stone brick -> Mossy stone brick: Right-click with seeds
Nature
Being expert herbalists and gardeners, Zebras can plant and grow several types of trees.
Special trees
[Coming soon!]
Fruit trees
Zebras can also plant special, ingredient-dropping trees using the well-known Appleseed plugin. The two trees currently available to Zebras are cocoa trees and golden apple trees.
To plant one, you have to till the soil using a hoe, then plant the ingredient (cocoa or golden apple) as you would a seed. This will create a planted sapling. If you fertilize it with bonemeal, the sapling will grow into a large tree.
A cocoa tree, for example, will drop cocoa beans over time. After some time has passed, the tree will require further fertilization before it will grow and drop more cocoa beans. You can see whether or not a tree is a cocoa tree, and whether or not it requires fertilization, by equipping a wood hoe and right-clicking on the trunk. If it requires fertilization, fertilize it with more bonemeal.
You can also mark the trees with signs, which will automatically display what type of tree it is, and whether or not it requires fertilizer. Place a sign on the tree, and write [Appleseed] in the top line, like this:
The sign will change to display the tree type (in the case of the one in the screenshot, “apple”). This makes them easy to differentiate from the other trees near your orchard. The sign will also tell you if the tree needs fertilization – note the colour of the text. If it’s green, it’s healthy and dropping items. If it’s red, it requires fertilization in the form of bonemeal.
Griffons hail from a faraway land, and are uncommonly seen in Liquestria. They are proficient flyers, and moreover they are expert archers and warriors. They have the highest base damage of all the races, they can perform special fighting combos, and they can send monsters flying with the power of their roar alone. They are also completely immune to poison damage. Uniquely among the races in Liquestria, they are omnivorous, and actually gain significant bonuses from eating meat. They can see perfectly in the dark.
Their talents are geared towards mobility and speed, exploration, fighting, and construction.
Omnivore (Bonus when eating meat and cooked meat, less benefit from vegetables)

Playing as a Griffon
Spread your wings! Flight is a powerful tool in Minecraft, and Griffons are one of two races with that ability. If you’ve ever played creative mode, you know what’s up.
[SOON] Griffons are exceptional warriors. They have access to a number of combo abilities they can string together in a fight, and they can perform special moves to take on several monsters at once. Remember to use your Voice skills — you can stun or throw enemies away from you.
Griffons are also expert archers, and you’d be wise to pick up a good bow as soon as you find one. You can switch between several skills on the fly, and quickly let loose a volley of arrows.

Power of Voice
Griffons can tap into their animal halves and use their voice to intimidate and command their foes.
Roar Call upon your Lion half to hurl enemies away from you. Crouch down and click both mouse buttons at the same time, and watch your enemies fly.
Screech Call upon your Eagle half to stun a single target with a high-pitched cry. Click both mouse buttons at an enemy in range.
Archery
Griffons are expert archers, able to release volleys of arrows in seconds. While wielding a bow, left-click to switch between your bow abilities, and right-click to fire. You must pull the string back far enough for the effect to work.
Multishot Splits one arrow into several that spread out in front of you.
Strafe Fires a volley of arrows in rapid succession.
The Liquestria server consists of several interconnected worlds, most of them with shared inventories and membership lists.
Travel between worlds is available via the harbor, the dragon roost, and the Arcane Hub.
Inventories are shared between all Survival worlds, and the few Creative worlds we have are separate from those. We are predominantly a survival server with classes. If you’re interested in a MLP-themed creative mode environment, Brohoof.com is probably where you want to be.
It is more “inspired by” rather than “based on” the show and its contents. If you are more interested in literally creating a replica of the show, Brohoof.com is still probably where you want to be!
Worlds Liquestria
Liquestria is the titular world and showcase of our server. This world – and the Valley of the Moon specifically – is where most of our old veterans spend their time. It is our common build, our home-away-from-home, a world that is unlikely to ever be completed but where there is always something for us to work on.
Everything here is managed (somewhat loosely by “build” standards) by the Shadowbolts, Liquestria’s combined moderators and building committee. Build privileges are given only to those who are specifically interested in participating in a managed project.
New projects need to be approved by the other members, but it’s up to individual players to make the best of the place we’ve got. For instance, our builders don’t have to conform to a singular vision of explicit aesthetics and colors, but are instead asked to apply their own tastes and personality in making their constructions, so long as they fit the general theme of the Valley — that of a medieval, high-fantasy, airship-loving, magic-sculpted, fantastical world that is the home of grand libraries, wizard’s towers, dragon roosts, and Lunar-themed equivalents of MLP:FiM.
In short, a lot of this, please! ♥
Freebuild Worlds
For players who want a much more laid-back experience where they are free to work on their own preferred projects (within reason!), we have several Freebuild worlds that fit the bill. These are all connected to each other via various forms of transportation, and build permission is mostly the same for all of them: except for the immediate area around spawn, players are generally free to work on their own projects. From secret underground bases and small gardens to huge towers and pixel art displays, you can make it all as long as you follow the rules and exercise basic Minecraft etiquette.
The way we handle land claims across these worlds is quite different from how most servers operate. In order to own your own piece of land, you will first have to carve out a meager existence somewhere as you brave the dangers of monsters at night, lack of food and shelter, and creepers that seek to undo everything you’ve worked for. In this land, you are a pioneer.
Once you’ve established a home of some kind, a place of presence in the world that indicates your willingness to play on our server, you can talk to the Shadowbolts and ask about setting up some regions just for you. We are very happy to accommodate people who are interested in making stuff for the server and being a part of it. We just need you to take the first step.
Everfree
The biggest and most important of these freebuild worlds is The Everfree Forest, wherein the village of Moonwatch is surrounded by vast forests and mountains. Moonwatch itself requires special build permissions as it is intended to provide a safe haven and a stable place for players to stay and travel, but the forest is wild territory. Here, players work on whatever they like.
As the server expands, most of the optional expanded PvE content will take place in Everfree. This is where you will eventually see unique items and artifacts, special monsters, instanced dungeons, quests, and special events. When you choose a race and class, this world is where most of that will come into play. This new content will be siphoned in over time, and it will always remain entirely optional. For anyone who just wants to build stuff in a survival mode environment, Everfree will remain a place for players to do just that.
Cirrus
A world of clouds and home of the Pegasi race, Cirrus is a floating city in the clouds. For fans of the show, it’s kind of Cloudsdale with some Bioshock: Infinite leanings in terms of aesthetics, although it’s a very loose theme. Anyone can build here, but builds must meet certain requirements or they will be removed or relocated to Everfree. Besides this restriction, this world is lightly moderated, and players are free to pursue their own projects.
Cirrus The general idea of Cirrus is that all of the buildings, no matter the material, must at least be partially resting on a bed of “clouds” that suspend the city. Alternatively, steampunk propellers or airships, balloons, and magical creations that levitate on their own accord are also enthusiastically accepted.
Think greek-inspired columns and architecture mixed with fantasy, medieval construction, and light steampunk.
Let your imagination soar.
I’m so sorry. I’ll hit myself.
The Eyrie
The Griffons make their home high in the mountainous spires of the Eyrie. This is a place for vast spires, for platforms and buildings on sheer cliff walls, and for fantastical constructions draped in white and gold. This is the Griffon Empire.
…or at least it would be if we had any time for it.
As with Cirrus, the only real caveat is that buildings must meet certain requirements or they will be removed or relocated to Everfree. Besides this restriction, this world is very lightly moderated, and players are free to pursue their own projects. Eventually we will probably get around to doing something more official with it, but small time as we are, it’s not likely going to become a major project any time soon. It’s there for people who want an amplified world, a place where they have an excuse to go big and glorious with their constructions without it looking out of place.
The basic rules of The Eyrie is that it should be built into the sheer cliffs of the land unless there’s a specific reason not to, it should preferably be big and grand, and it needs to be generally colorful. White and gold make the most thematic sense for the Griffon homelands, but as long as the facade has some colorful banners or impressive gardens it’ll be perfect for The Eyrie. Lastly, the closer things are to spawn, the better it should look.
The Moon
The Moon is where we banish problem players to, an in-joke from MLP. Currently off-limits to players, but it will eventually be open for construction.
Mines
Need a metric Lunaplex of materials? The Mines world is open for you to bulldoze to the ground. Bring TNT or your best pickaxe and go completely nuts. This is the one world where we’re happier if you do completely destroy the landscape.
Note that we will reset this world once in a while, so anything you make will be transient.
Blueprints
A small creative world where people can create and fine-tune their upcoming projects before they start making them in one of our standard worlds. Simply find a plot of land and start building.
We will region stuff for you if you ask, but it is not intended to be permanent. It’s there as an experimental building tool and nothing more. Once projects have been completed in the primary worlds, we will usually wipe any relevant Blueprint schematics so that we can re-use that space for something else. If you are looking for a creative server, we are not currently set up to offer that experience.
The Old World
Liquestria has been around since Minecraft 1.0.0. The Old World is where we started. The map has since been archived and can no longer be modified, but players can wander around and look at our meager beginnings. A lot of great memories were made there.
Travel The Arcane Hub
The Arcane Hub is located in the center of the Valley of the Moon, and is a nexus that connects many of the more esoteric planes. Here, Waypoints to the Mines, Blueprints, and the Old World can be found. Step onto a platform to be instantly transported.

Liquestria has a lot of worlds you can visit and build on. For the freebuild worlds, the idea is simple: If you follow the basic rules of the server (which can be boiled down to “don’t be a jerk”), you’re free to build whatever cool stuff you like. Apart from 1) spawn locations, and 2) the primary showcase world, it’s all yours. We want to emphasize that our server is, at its heart, very much like a regular Minecraft survival server. Us Alicorns are usually around to fix problems and take care of things as necessary. Any bit of functionality you want to take advantage of on top of that is completely optional.
A perfect example of this: land claims and ownership.
We have no automated area or chest protection. The reason for this approach is because it lets people easily collaborate with other players and contribute to projects. Liquestria is a community server where players are neighbours and friends who know each other. Our application process deters most griefers — in four years, we’ve only ever had two very minor instances of people stealing something or breaking someone else’s wall in anger, and if anyone ever does make a mess we can undo that mess with a keystroke in ten seconds flat. Even so, we know that some players would prefer to have actual ownership over their builds so that they don’t have to rely on us. No problem! We’ll set up regions for you if you ask, and we’ll grant you full ownership of your own work.
Your builds on this server are permanent and transferable. If you later decide to move elsewhere and desire to bring your builds with you, we will save any of your projects as WorldEdit schematics and email them to you. Contact Cane in-game.
Despite the server’s cartoon theme, this is not a place for kids to run around and do whatever they like. It is run by mature adults primarily for other members of our community, and while we welcome everyone with a great deal of enthusiasm, we would like them to wipe their feet on the mat before they come in. We won’t prohibit entry based on age, but we reserve the right to do so based on maturity.
We won’t /give you items. We won’t /give you items if you die in lava. This is primarily a survival mode server, and that includes our showcase world. Hard work is part of the tale, and once you’ve clawed your way out of another pit and erected the final diamond block of the beacon atop your shrine of glory, you’ll feel as though you’ve actually accomplished something.
The above includes our Shadowbolts and Alicorns as well. None of us have the ability to spawn in items, none of us can “cheat” to circumvent survival mode. Doing so would ruin the entire point of playing on this gamemode. The Shadowbolts – our server’s moderators – only have moderator power when something needs to be done. At any other time, they have the exact same classes and permissions that you do. You can tell if someone is using their Shadowbolt powers because their chat colours and prefix tag change.
Alicorns – the top level server admins – can’t cheat either. They simply have all of the permissions that the regular classes do, so that they can do their job as testers and arbiters. That means that any spell cooldowns wizards have, Alicorns have also. Any limitations are inherited.
The only exception is if we are also in an additional “Admin” mode on top of that, where (again) our char colour and prefix tag is different. Usually, I (Cane) will be in this mode because I’m busy coding, and I need admin access to load the new scripts and fun stuff into the server properly. If I’m building something, however, I’m in Alicorn mode same as all the other administrators.
No, you can’t pick Alicorn for your class, but you can hang out in our clubhouse. It’s in a secret closet on the moon.

Liquestria is fairly relaxed when it comes to arbitrary rules. As long as you follow basic Minecraft etiquette and common sense, you’ll fit right in.
For the sake of transparency and accountability, we offer this list of rules and permissions for people who want to get a better idea of what we’re about.
Rules
Don’t destroy the landscape on a large scale
If you need huge amounts of materials, go to the Mines world and go nuts
Ditto for Prismarine generators. We will set up a collector in another world
Don’t make any giant eye sores. Giant cubes, stretches of flattened land, drained lakes
Don’t make redstone clocks or mechanisms that lag the server
Build according to the general themes of the world that you are in
Read the Worlds info for specific thematic information
Only Everfree is fully freebuild, and even there we prohibit giant eye sores
If on a managed project, confer with other players before you undertake any major builds. We don’t want you to waste your time by making something we ultimately cannot accommodate
Common sense rules the day in Liquestria
Permissions
The worlds of Everfree, Cirrus, The Eyrie, The Mines, and Blueprints are all open to anyone who have been accepted as members. Players are free to build anywhere outside of spawn, so long as they follow basic Minecraft etiquette (below) and any world-specific rules or themes.
All spawn locations within those worlds, and any immediate areas around spawn (such as the village of Moonwatch in Everfree) are WorldGuarded, and special permission is required to build there. These locations are intended to be safe havens in their respective worlds, a place where people can gather to meet and to travel. If you want to help us design and build these locations, contact us in-game and we’ll talk! We’re always happy to have new people on board for our managed projects.
The main showcase world of Liquestria is another such managed project. This world is special in that anyone can travel through the Valley of the Moon and use its services, but only people with special permission can build or modify anything in it. If you’re interested in participating in Liquestria, you’ll need to talk to us, preferably on our TeamSpeak so that we can coordinate better. You’ll also need to show us that you’re capable of creating some nice things. If accepted, it’ll be your project as well as ours, and you would get to work on your own builds in these worlds. See the Worlds section for more information.
Minecraft Etiquette
When playing on a Minecraft server, there are a few basic things you should adhere to. Pretty much all of them boil down to common courtesy, or at least fall under the golden rule.
1. Be friendly
Greet us when we say hello, especially if it’s your first time in a server. You’re not joining a multiplayer game to be completely solitary, and being friendly when you join lets us know that you’re probably not here to cause trouble.
2. Read the rules and any information given to you
They’re short, they’re sweet, they boil down to “don’t be a dick” with a few world-specific rules thrown in for good measure. We’ll answer questions in-game, but we’ll probably grumble about it if you could have simply found the answers in our Races page, Worlds page, or FAQ.
3. Be a decent human being
Basic golden rule stuff: don’t be a dick to other people. We want to prevent our players from having their experience ruined by people who don’t share our completely alien concepts of honesty, loyalty, generosity, kindness, and laughter.
4. Don’t build in other people’s back yard without permission
This is the most essential bit of etiquette. Give each other room to breathe and expand. Always treat your neighbour like someone who lives near to you.
Liquestria is open to visitors! It’s easy for guests to get around in our game worlds, as they can /fly, use our /warp system, and generally use our /menu GUI to access most of our services. There are usually some Shadowbolts or Alicorns hanging out in-game for you to talk to as well if you have any questions.
Just connect to www.liquestria.net and have a look around.
If you want to play and participate, you need to either:
Be a regular of TeamLiquid and/or of our #tlponies channel on QuakeNet IRC (in which case just PM me on TL or in IRC), - or –
This will give you build permissions for all of our freebuild worlds — currently Everfree, Cirrus, Eyrie, Blueprints, and the Mines. As long as you follow our basic freebuild rules and guidelines, you can do whatever you like.
Note to those of you reading this on TeamLiquid:
If you are a member of TL, you are the reason this server exists -- Liquestria is a Minecraft server made for the TeamLiquid brony community. If you are a TL regular, you will be able to join without much of an application at all. Just PM me on TL and I'll get you set up.
The application is only necessary for those coming in from outside of our community. We find that this process helps us maintain a good atmosphere for the server. The kind of people who aren’t bothered by spending a few minutes on an application tend to be the kind of people who are tired of bullshit and are seriously looking for a nice place to stay.
Not usually. Liquestria is “inspired by” rather than “based on” the show. We don’t want to be confined to do only the kind of stuff you see on the show. That’s why you’ll see ancient temple style constructions, medieval period buildings, a greater emphasis on airships, dragons as willing steeds, and grand towers of sorcery rather than modern railroad tracks or, well, Manehattan. You can consider it an alternate universe if you want; I just consider it a fun little Minecraft server. In short: it’s a non-canonical Lunar equivalent of Celestia’s realm. It’s a loose theme.
If you’d rather emulate the show entirely, http://www.brohoof.com is probably where you want to be.
Can I make pixel art?
Only in Everfree, unless it’s a giant tapestry or banner that makes sense for the area or building.
Can I make [x]?
Read the Worlds pages for any thematic information. If it’s not appropriate on the other worlds, it has to go in Everfree. We don’t much care as long as it’s not a big eye sore, although we will probably draw the line if people start to make sci-fi ships and cities.
Can we set up a world where [x] is acceptable?
If there is enough interest, yes! We won’t do it for just one or two people, however — worlds take up a lot of hard drive space. This leads into:
Would you consider adding [x] to the server?
If there is something you feel is missing from the server, take it up with us in-game. If we like your idea, chances are high that we will try to implement it. Likewise if it’s something a lot of people want. Not much is out of reach for us; we do our own programming and can produce some really fun things if given enough time.
Do you have a creative world?
Not really. We have a Blueprints world, but it’s transient. People use it to test constructions before they build them on the survival maps, and once they’re done, the relevant blueprint builds will likely be wiped to make room for new things. If you’re interested in a creative mode setting, http://www.brohoof.com is probably where you want to be.
Why do you link to the TL forums? Why don’t you have your own?
TeamLiquid is where most of our community first met. It started off as a thread, then an IRC, with all kinds of community events to follow. The Minecraft server came later, the result of Requiem saying “Say, why don’t we have our own Minecraft server?”
We may install SMF at a later date, but there’s no need for it right now. We’d rather have one somewhat active thread than a mostly empty forum. If we attract enough players, this might change.
Can I have your configs so that I can host my own version of this? Is there a tutorial or download for setting up my own MLP server?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Unfortunately, there is little I can do to help you. There is no download button for “Minecraft server with fully fleshed out classes and abilities”, and there certainly isn’t one for My Little Pony. Instead, this server is a special combination of a thousand different things.
Our server – everything on it – is the result of countless hours of hard work in programming and customization of plugins, careful attention to details, and a genuine interest in fixing problems and making things work. There’s hardly a single plugin we use that I haven’t tweaked or customized in some way to better fit our theme and style, and we’re still adding new things every month. I myself have spent countless hours on this project as a long-standing, multi-year hobby.
For the same reason, I hope you can understand why I’m going to have to give an empathic “no” to the question of giving anyone our configs. Even if I did, you would still need to learn how to set it up properly, and how to configure it. It might be easier to simply start from scratch to ensure that you get the gaming experience you’re after.
Should we submit the server to Equestria Daily?
Not just yet! We need to do a bit more groundwork before it’s presentable to a larger number of players. Once we have it, I’ll personally write to them asking if they can feature it. Until then, let’s hold off.
So what’s with all the Luna?
She’s kind of our server mascot. Look. She made a sky bucket.
BM_xD is my MC name at the moment. I would like to be a unicorn to start.
I have two questions besides that. Aylear, mind putting where we can download the texture packs in your tutorial post? Also, will we able to change our nicknames a la IRC style with /nick or something similar?
Edit: <3 Luna's Sky Bucket. ^_^
Double edit: I'm an idiot. Disregard question one...
Pisonic_Reaver > As far as i have saw, earth ponies will be the best at mining and carrying stuff aswell as farming, which is quite a good part in Minecraft life ! So I believe a load of players will take them, because it makes life load more easier.
By the way, in case I'm missing to the player list : Dreamslayers.

I would highly recommend using the skin maker doohickey that is linked in Aylear's post. You can generate your own ez pz. Alternatively if you're looking for a premade one, the skindex? I dunno if they have MLP skins in the fashion of ponies I know they do in human form though.
PsyonicReaver > Yep, on the Mine Little Pony thread there is a pack of skins of ponies from the show. By the way, pick a background pony, don't want to see thousands of fluttershy / rainbow dash / luna.

There is a skin pack linked somewhere in the mod's minecraft forum post. It has a lot of pre-made characters, I suggest using a BG pony if you end up going that route, though.
I've been lurking these forums for almost 2 years now, MLP thread since it was created and now I just had to register here. Starcraft, ponies AND Minecraft together... sign me in!
I found the invulnerability piece. It's the EventListener override on lines 156-167 of the source file. Pretty sure you could just remove that and invulnerability should disappear. I am unsure about secondary effects though; you may end up dying from flying into the ground for example. Caution and trials are adviced.
Also, I really should buy this shit and get into the damn server, right?
Okay, wow. I wasn't expecting this many people to be interested.
Some basic things!
1) If you're new to Minecraft, you should check out Paul's "How to survive your first night" video.
It gives you most of the basics and you get a good idea of how Minecraft's mechanics work.
2) We don't know how well the server will run. We're pretty sure it can handle it, but you never know. Which leads into:
3) If anything explodes today, bear with us until we can fix it. Expect snags in the system and be pleasantly surprised when they don't happen! Which leads into:
4) The first few days to a week is one big test, so if there are any issues, give us feedback.
There's going to be a bit of chaos at the start, but I know most of you guys and you're good people. To alleviate some of the chaos, I would like it if everyone stayed around the spawn / stage area when you log in, just for 15 minutes or so, until we get everything settled. Once the official welcomes are over, we go do our thing.
We're having some sever issues; nothing severe, just requiring a reset. Working on setting everything back up asap.
We were also trying out a new fly mod alongside some server-side controls to make it work. Long story short, it's awesome and we'll be using it later. Equally long story short: We need to get the kinks worked out, so we'll be using it later. Until then, pegasi will fly with the dumb mod we had set up earlier, meaning as long as they're in fly mode, they are invincible. Again, not a huge problem for a few days, but I'm asking you again to please not abuse it / swim in lava, you showboaters.
Here's hoping today goes smoothly. If it doesn't (quite possible), apologies in advance! Consider this Stress Test Week.
There's a lot of information to give you and I don't have a lot of time. So screw it, I'll put this here and update the OP later.
Earth Ponies need to know the following:
You have almost double the inventory space of everyone else, but the way this is set up is a bit of a work-around. We're using a mod called VirtualChest, accessible only to Earth ponies. Here's the basics.
When you log into the server for the first time, you don't have a chest yet. To get one, you have to type: /gp b
This sets up the "chest" for you. Once you have a virtual chest, you can type this command at any time: /gp c
This command opens up your inventory + chest. Alternatively, if you have an actual chest item in your inventory, you can put it in your hands and left click. This will have the same effect as /gp c.
Earth Ponies can execute a super jump. This is also a bit of a work-around at the moment. To jump higher, you have to have a feather in your hand and right click. Yes, it's kind of silly but that's how a lot of these mods work.
Earth Ponies also have access to a special lava-powered furnace. I'll have a tutorial up later for how to build one; for now, just assume they're awesome.
Lastly, Earth Ponies can plant apple trees. Again, I'll have a more in-depth description/tutorial later, but for now, here are the basics: You have to use a hoe on the ground to turn it to soil, then plant an apple. This makes an apple tree. Use bonemeal to fertilize it. This tree will drop apples over time (drop rate customizable server-side).
Unicorns need to know the following:
You have magic! Here's a very brief magic tutorial:
Your basic chat command is: /cast
This is the key to unlocking all your stuff. Here's a brief overview:
/cast list - lists all the /cast commands you know, including your spells /cast blink - casts the spell "Blink" through the /cast chat command
Straightforward. But here's where it gets awesome.
You can bind spells to items, and then simply left click while holding that item to cast it, instead of using the chat command. Here's how:
/cast bind blink - binds the spell "Blink" to whatever item you are carrying
With that wand item equipped, you can now press the left mouse button to cast Blink.
I strongly recommend only using items that have no in-world purpose - that is, you should use a string or spider's eye instead of a placeable block or a weapon.
(Note: Most spells auto-bind to sticks, so if you equip a stick, chances are good you can use it as a wand without having to /cast bind a spell to it first. In short, you can only cast spells you know/own, but they often auto-bind to sticks until you bind it to something else. Just grab a stick and right click to cycle through all the spells you can cast, and left click to cast it.)
There will be multiple ways to learn new spells, and I'll get into further detail with that later. (Spellbooks, tomes, etc.) For now, Alicorns can teach new spells to individual Unicorns, who can then teach them on to other Unicorns. You'll find out more soon. After all, it's worthy of exploration.
Pegasi need to know the following:
You can fly. Type /fly in chat to enable fly mode, then press left shift to take off in the direction you are looking. Yes, this is the "fly mode" that renders you invincible as a stupid side effect.
Until we can incorporate the other, better fly mod, you cannot currently hover. So we've set up this work-around:
Pegasi have access to the spell "Carpet". It's part of the same mod that grants Unicorns magic, so the command is the same:
/cast carpet
When you do this, you create moving plates of glass beneath your feet that follow your character. While Carpet is active, jump to go up and sneak to go down (defaults: space and shift). This acts like a duct-tape-like "hover" ability, with an additional bonus: You can build blocks on the glass plates. This is an easy way to begin construction of something in mid-air, as whatever you build won't disappear when the Carpet spell does.
It's a temporary work-around, but it will suffice.
You can change the weather using a /command line. This is just for fun and mostly cosmetic, and the effect is instant. Try it out when you first join the server to see how it works, but don't do it too often after that; once the server is running, I'd rather not see the weather change 20 times a minute. =)
/weather sun /weather storm
We'll almost certainly have some other weather mods/commands later, but we'll have to get to them once everything else is running and working properly.
Also, as a Pegasus, you take no fall damage (regardless of /fly mode). Have fun jumping off shit.
All types need to know the following:
It's possible to read and write books in-game. It's just a fun little mod to add variety and little else (but it does tie into Unicorns' ability to write spell tomes in the future). I'll have some more detailed stuff on this later; we're just super busy scrambling to get the server ready right now.
On December 08 2011 03:14 Raelcun wrote: \o/ yayyyy 2 hours! yes?
edit: also is the weather thing really necessary? All rain does is get annoying I feel this will mostly be used to troll
Rain can be used to put out fires. Won't be needed much beyond that; it's just a fun little thing. We should have some better weather mods later where Pegasi will have to work together. Right now it's just there because, hey, Pegasi.
Sorry to be a bother but I'm having trouble with the texture pack... I moved all the files to the texture pack folder and it's still not showing up. Is there something else I need to do?

All you have to do is put the .zip file in the texture pack folder. Nothing else.
There's two more things to do before the server is up!
Launch will be delayed by about 30 minutes, "until it's done". =) Once completed, the server IP will be posted in #tlponies, as well as PM'd to those who signed up as quickly as possible.
THE PERMISSIONS WILL NOT BE UPDATED IN THE SERVER UNTIL EVERYONE HAS ARRIVED.
You will all start as a default user, unable to do anything but type. After 10 minutes of introductions, this will be added to the server and you will all be able to use your race's abilities, and interact with the world.
IRC regulars will be the first to join the server to begin the stress test, then we will start sending you all the IP in PMs. If you haven't gotten it within half an hour, PM us.
Okay, I am having serious issues downloading the mod. I did everything the instructions said on the download site and I am having no results whatsoever.
At least that is the plan. If you still haven't gotten the IP, let me know. And if you arrive and find you're the wrong type/can't do anything, let me know. =)
Pictures before I go sleep Waiting for Cane to light the Nether Portal (it was slightly disastrous afterwards)
A good view of my mountain top observatory above Bronyville
A view from the sky, the very top of it is actually max height in game
And of course a carefully aligned telescope slot allows the moon to shine directly through it. Telescope not done yet have to plan more on how to build that so the project is only half done but still it looks nice from town.
The dome itself is snow blocks, the closest snow we could find for the first half was literally Six thousand blocks away, after I finished with that inventory full of snow we found one ONLY three thousand away ._. anyways we got a ton done in the first ~12 hours already
Please give me your feedback on the server, and what we've done with it so far. I know we've all just been crazy busy building awesome stuff and that's why I haven't heard anything from you about it.
Its the best MC community I've ever had, but that's because the TLPonies are the best community I've ever had.
I feel like we need a bit more structure for when we are going to build the town though. Having off centered and cluttered plots of land is an eye sore, and we should make an effort so that it doesn't become a problem to begin with. I would suggest having main roads that are grid like, but give people some wiggle room in large plots.
I see unicorns and pegasi rocking face in the air and with spell....the earth ponies need something cool.
We need to establish a currency system, wheat seems like a good choice, or sugarcane, both are infinitely bountiful. Just a suggestion.
Now on to the most important fact:
Cane, building with you and figuring out the spawn was the most fun I've ever had in minecraft. I was supposed to write a paper today, but I spent more than a full days work setting up a functioning mine, then re-structuring the spawning area. I would never trade any of that.
i wish i coulded help more yesterday, but beeing a european pony with needs of sleep i had to go to early for my taste. i can't wait till work is over today and getting to know you all better :D
As I said when I got on the server, I am sorry for putting up that portal. I asked and noone answered, also didn't know the portals were connected like you described (only been to the nether on SP)..
Wow, you guys did a lot once I left (damn time zones), so many giant things now, when I left there were a few houses and mines, and Rael was only making a tree farm, nevermind a giant observatory
I love the positioning of my house in that it just happens to appear in half of the screenshots (Its the cloud with the giant tree on top)
For feedback, the server was great and fun from what I've played. A couple of bugs with the flying - like if you fly for 20-30 seconds you will just fall for some reason, the carpet spell doesn't work in water (even if you are just standing in shallow parts), though that may be intended(?). Only bugs I can remember from the couple of hours I was on, and I can't give feedback on what was done on the server yet since I havn't checked it out, so I'm happy to just report a couple of bugs.
Alright everyone, one more Minecraft related post while I render this marathon related video.
First off, to answer Camail, I did put this in the OP earlier:
In the coming days, there will be a little more organization in-game regarding where we place the next few buildings. Most of the discussion will likely take place in-game as it's easy to point to somewhere and ask people what they think. Everyone has been amazing so far, however, and I love what we've all accomplished.
So yeah, we're gonna have a minor planning department. Someone just tried to build a house made of lava and sand. It was silly and fun (cheers Potmilk!), but it made the zone lag, and that idea is so far from pony that I had to just grin, and veto it.
So... yes. General planning department incoming. Anyone who wants to be a part of the conversation, join the hell in; you guys have done some great stuff and I want everyone to have an amazing time.
Second, you may have noticed the insignificant little circle in the middle of town that I was working on yesterday. Tomorrow is the reveal. I'd like everyone to drop by the town circle at around 5 PM EST / 10 PM GMT tomorrow, and stay for 30 minutes to an hour. All will be revealed, in more ways than one.
Third, I'm sorry about yesterday, Requiem. It was a long, long day of aggravating but rewarding work. I hope we can do some awesome shit tomorrow.
Fourth, lol someone just tried to make a house made out of lava and sand. Come on man. =)
You placed and lit an Obsidian Portal without asking anyone's permission. Everyone agreed that major constructs like that would be voted on their placement by the community.

this rules are all good and fine but they need to be fixed on the first page so that everyone can check them out. telling rules ingame chat is easly overseen, due to the minimalistic chat system in minecraft.
btw Zaucy: was changed anything beside the shield? else i don't see the problem here.

General rule of thumb, if we don't answer that means we simply didn't see it, it doesn't gives you permission. We had to delete the nether and spawn it again because you lit a portal, which is far more tedious than cleaning up your house...
Aw, I neither know how to play, nor have the spare time to play it. I feel left out : ( It's nice seeing the pictures of your work though.
Edit: I just learned that you have to eat food in Minecraft. I just wanted to say that I sure hope you're not feeding your ponies meat in that game! (or I'll come discipline you!)

Yes, the chat was pretty spammy and hard to read, at least when the server just went up. Yes, there was a small door I marked for my future house to be, now all blown up.

I can respect that, and I was out of my line (as I said, I didn't know how the nether&portals work since I only been there in SP). Anyway, even when asking if anyone had food a couple of times noone still didn't answer and that's why I created the farm and trees outside your the mining camp.
Sure, delete the portal, but why did the door to my future house had to be TNT'd? I was about to build my house in there. You might see it as tedious, I see it as an insult.

it's cool, I think some ponies are eating meat in a pinch but Earth ponies (like me) grow apples which seems to be the most popular way of keeping well nourished
I jump off the platform to get to my mine and take damage every time, I've had to eat hundreds of apples...
I have a feeling that in a months time things will be significantly less hectic because all of the essentials will be built and there will be order. I'm not exactly sure what we will be doing when that happens though.

Delving into events, both PvE and PvP, ideally. Pretty much necessary after a server has a strong foundation to keep things interesting. And I can imagine some pretty cool unicorn vs. pegasus PvP battles, etc.
I would love to in on this. (I may have acquired a copy of minecraft specifically for it) Sadly, finals are tomorrow for me, so until after that I won't actually be around.

edit: and cake, nomnom
I knew I could count on you earth ponies to grow apples and eat real pony food! Now, as for the rest of you carnivore ponies...you'll have to make amends, or else! + Show Spoiler +
Actually the mod should make ponies take damage from eating strange food ^^
It takes maybe 5 minutes of going to orchards to get a stack of apples, it shouldn't be necessary to eat meat at all. I plane on making a very large centralized orchard to satisfy all of our needs a little later on. It won't have a retriever, but it is going to be a huge multilayered mega structure. I'll try and make it as user friendly to get to each floor and rummage around for apples. That's tomorrow's project, I guess.
edit: I'll write up some plans later and recruit people to make it, because I am gonna help req build his new project as well.
i'd like to help you with your orchard. at the moment i'm planting a rather big appletree forest myself and it's so easy to collect the apples there .
But we have to make sure that all those apples won't lag the server to much. This happends with big mobfarms which produce 100's of items in short time.

I'm afraid that the best decision is to RP this one and hand pick apples. For two reasons:
1. It looks better. Having inclined waterways and collectors looks ugly and limits the size of the building in certain dimensions.
2. We're ponies, and the one's who plant apple trees are EARTH ponies. What would Applejack say if she saw you lazing about while the water did all the work for you?

Exactly my thought.
And Applejack would say something like this:
"Well Rainbow Dash, I'm mighty sorry but you just don't fit well into the Earthpony Way. We've to terminate your Earthpony internship."
Server will be down for maintenance during the MLP marathon!
We'll be using this time to do some behind-the-scenes work (automation, scripts, etc), tweaks, whatever. I imagine most of you will be at the marathon anyway, so no big deal. =)
Deltamon and RGnt:
I'll add you to permissions during the maintenance phase. Will PM you both when the server's back up and you have your classes set.
Anyone could contribute a list of convenience mods? I've heard there are minimap mods, and mods that sort your inventory and things like that. I'm a little clueless when it comes to minecraft
i use rei's minimap for minimap, it has a nice amount of customisation, for inventory tweaks i use convenient inventory. the middle button sort is esp useful.
VERY brief post before I go to bed (I've been awake for 26 hours working on the Mare-A-Thon (it was awesome)):
We've backed up everything and gotten some new framework ready to go. Tomorrow we should have the new fly mod set up (hello non-invincible, able-to-fly-and-hover-properly Pegasi), as well as begin the epic planning department of win.
And then... wherever the stars may take us.
Luna wishes you all a wonderful night, because she's about to fall asleep in her sky bucket.
Can we avoid this kind of stuff guys? I've already seen a few people just writing random crap and it doesn't fit in the whole theme. If you want to make a space as your own use signs and fences or other clear delineations that this space is being planned for. Other people should respect that.
edit: also cane and co. can we do something about creepers until we figure out the source of the lag? Whenever I encounter a creeper and try NOT to abuse flying I hit it once with my sword then it blows up before I can get out of range because of the lag.
edit #2: also someone decided to cut blocks from our apple trees so now none of them are providing apples. :[
If you need some pony sex statues of shutterfly, she is the cutest after all, I am really good at making them from previous minecraft servers. I mean I know we are all really into pony sex, so why not have some spank bank in minecraft? Also, I am aware people have different tastes so I will be happy to take requests. BRONIES 4 LYFE!

That name just makes me rofl to hard to the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Nice job trollestria.
I had to replant all my apple trees since they stopped counting as apple trees for some reason someponies been up to no good or theres been a bug somewhere along the line
Also my suggestions for town name are Moonview and Lunarburgh (though I'm not entirely sure how that sounds outside of Scotland)
Edit: Post removed until imgur stops crapping out and giving "image loading" indefinitely.
Edit 2: Zounds, Moonview is fun, but then I'm biased as hell. We should get a good collection of names from the community and put it to a vote or something.
Edit 3: Someone wrote "wingboners" in the air with cobblestones. I need to get on that Moon Cannon already.

I logged on today and the server was lagging especially bad so here's a few notes guys on things to avoid:
Large lava constructions are bad right now, server stability is still being figured out and and the server is having troubles with that kind of thing
Simple redstone projects are fine but stay away from huge circuits that have repeating or pulsing in it
Please keep TNT detonations to reasonable levels as well we don't want to stress the server right now
Break your boats when you're done with them, I havent confirmed if they still cause memory issues
Avoid huge railways small connecting rails are fine but if you build a large rail project last time I knew they still caused memory leaks in SMP
also who built this?
Please refrain from making floating buildings out of anything other than wool/snow near the town square. We'd like anything in the air to be cloudlike to fit the whole theme.
Cane is now demolishing it because it had no signs and it doesn't fit the theme.
Thanks Raelcun, basically said everything I wanted to.
Yes, CHECK THE OP IF YOU ARE A PEGASUS. Read the Pegasus spoiler. There's a new fly mod and you have to install some files before you can use it, but it's simple enough to set up.
Up until now, there's been a plugin which removes falling damage for Pegasi. This was necessary because the other fly mod was made of failure. Now we have the new one installed and it's working beautifully.
However, the falling damage plugin is very customizable, and instead of keeping it as it is or even removing it, I'd like to turn it to a different use.
Earth ponies can now fall greater distances without hurting themselves (being more athletic and all). This doesn't mean you can jump off tall buildings, but it does mean that you shouldn't take so much damage when using the feather super jump any more.
Default fall damage for Pegasi and Unicorns is down to 5 (from 6). If you fall greater than 5 blocks, you'll start to take damage.
Earth ponies can fall from a height of 8 before they start taking damage. This might be excessive but that should be revealed through testing.
In other words, Pegasi take fall damage again! Use the fly mod and be careful. =)
If there's any problems with the new set-up, let me know.
Please stop building gravity-defying structures and towers! Luna went and removed this with her magic because, once again, there was no sign saying who made it, and it was breaking certain laws of physics.
Edit: After talking about it in-game, the general agreement is that you can work on it for a week or two, just so we can see how this project might turn out. But it needs to be awesome, and you need to have something to show for it by the end of that time. When you're taking up this much room in a community server (where space is more limited than any resource), it needs to be as good looking as it is big. And I swear to you, you won't even fill even half that space. You're way overestimating the amount of room you'll need to make your vision come to life.
My main problem with stuff like this isn't "I don't like it", it's "I don't see any possible reason for anything being this big this early on in a very new Minecraft server, especially when it's helmed by someone who cannot provide any kind of floor planning, or adequately explain what all that space will be used for, who also has never played Minecraft before."
I've built this kind of stuff before, when I was a Minecraft newbie, and it never, ever, ever works out. Not because you grow tired of the project (although that is a very possible risk), but because you just never, ever need that much space, unless you're literally building a megastructure. I'll bet you that at the end of this period, you'll have used half of the space you've claimed for yourself, with no clear plans for the rest beyond "I'll have stuff there". That's just what my Minecraft experience tells me.
Good luck with your vision. I hope I turn out to be wrong.
Caaaane we said no more arguing and you put all your arguments into this post ._.
Anyways you either need to the basics of something epic down or at least some posts here detailing what you want to do because filling a space that big that well isn't something you should rush. So show us that you have a good solid plan by the end of the time frame is what we're asking for, not to be done. Because a project that big should NOT be done in a week or two.
It allows you to see the map in a large window as well as set waypoints. So you can mark the way back to town, to your home, to places you want to explore etc and you can even toggle them on and off on the minimap. You will basically never get lost again as long as you remember to set a waypoint.
So, as some of you may have noticed during the short while that the server has been up, I have for whatever reason taken it upon myself to make a tower of obsidian. Needless to say, after several HUNDRED blocks mined and my building strategy created off the cuff, it's finally done. The tower itself will probably stay as is for now, but I will definitely look to do some terraforming of the hill the tower sits on. Below are some pictures I took of the finished product.
Liked by some, hated by many (probably), but for me, i'm just glad to be done =D
Also the planning department has decided that buildings out of Nether Brick are now banned, as they're ugly as sin and people keep making boxes out of them. If you want to make a nether brick structure you'll have to clear it with us first.
Also we found a very large minecart path we took it out and had to restart the server due to unrelated issues. Now without the minecard path all of the lag is gone. This is why we tell you not to build mine cart paths they wreck SMP if they go over large distances. Making a small one for fun that doesn't pass through more than 1 or 2 chunks is fine but anything larger than that is going to cause issues.

I'm going to update the OP with this, but for now, count this as The Word. Please, please, please, PLEASE do not build any minecart tracks! Please. As a personal favour to me and everyone else on the server who isn't building one. Twice now the server has been lagged to shit, twice we've deleted almost a kilometre of minecart tracks, and twice the server instantly improved. The memory leaks associated with some of this stuff seems ever prevalent. We can't be completely sure that they're what's been causing it, but it's the only likely culprit we have.
Regarding nether bricks: They have their uses... but not in completely square buildings, and especially not if you can see them from spawn. We had to take down a netherbrick house that had been started right next to the city hall because it was such an eyesore. We don't even know who built it!
Speaking of which, please put your name in front of whatever building you make! Just a sign saying who made it. Most of the buildings still lack this one easy-to-make feature that would help immensely when we're trying to show people around. Seriously, you guys made some kick-ass stuff, go in there and put your names on it.
There's a lot of awesome stuff coming, and a lot of new buildings going up. I'm going to update the OP to talk about all this stuff a little more, but the gist of it is, we want your help! A few more commercial/community buildings will be going up around the town circle (again, will have more information in the OP), so if you can help out with the construction, or material gathering, or offer ideas for which buildings we should add, or anything, then come be a part of it! Once the planning phase is over, a new era of construction begins in our fair little town. Once we lay down the main roads and connect them to our current offshoots, everyone will have a much better idea of where to build their homes, or whatever else they want to make.
In short, we want to ensure that everyone can get in there and start building their stuff. You've all blown me away with some of the stuff you've made (holy shit Potmilk your house went from silly antigravity cube with an apple in front to full blown Egyptian style garden with columns and fountains), and I can't wait to see what you guys do in the centre.
More details to come, and I will post again in this thread to make sure everyone goes to check it out. Fun things happening!
I'm not a fan of the shadow bolts, it makes us seem mean...and they are only associated with NMM, not Luna. Aranarth and I came up with The Comittee Mark Crusaders, which I think is the best thing ever.
As for me, due to school and going home for them holidays I'll be absent until Saturday, have fun while I'm gone!
For some reason (don't ask me how), during the Minecraft server update today, something in the system hiccuped. When the world came back online, some parts of the world reverted back to one from several hours ago, so we lost quite a bit of work.
We're currently checking every available backup to see if there's one that didn't mess up, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Chances are we lost those hours permanently. It's not too bad but it's a massive inconvenience, for sure. I'll have an answer for you in a couple of hours.
Edit: Just tested. All our recent backups are the same. We didn't lose as much work as we could have, since the server reverted back to a state several hours earlier and few people had been online for that duration. Still, if you were in Minecraft for up to 9 hours before the server update, chances are good you might have lost some progress. Check your stuff.
Okay so some work on the lower circle was lost after the backup and someone started to make it a square instead I have now made it a square I'm unsold on if I like this better or not, I may redo the circle inside the square as a compromise but let me know what you guys think.
It looked better as a circle in my opinion. I think it simply fits better. We'll know more once we get the new buildings down there (whatever they'll be).
Tee suggested some kind of community hall, with small market stands with display cases, some food corners, etc. Something for the trade district/bazaar idea. I'm not sure how big it would have to be but it sounds like it could work pretty well.

who built this? contact cane or myself thanks
It's more to do with the idea I had for my house: I wanted a nice, wooden, happy and well designed but not excessive house on a hill that looked pretty good. Now it looks like a country home in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Imagine if Donald Trump came in and built a casino across the street from your house.
It just doesn't suit the idea I had for my house, which is why I went away from town and built it on that hill in the first place. Bio's tower isn't all that great for the vision I had, but it's also not nearly as distracting as the gigantic rainbow barfing cloud. It looks really weird right there. I'd have no complaint about it at all if it were moved.
On December 16 2011 21:45 Frek wrote: EDIT: Random question: Can we build roads from the main highway to our own buildings?
Absolutely yes. The major roads/highways should be up after today, along with some side roads, so everypony should have a pretty good idea of how and where to connect new roads.
I got a message from the server-provider. It seems, the server we're currently running is located on an instable host-server and maybe that explains the random lags we encounter. However, the server will be moved to a new and more powerful host-server at Saturday 17th, ~1am - 7am CET (should be Friday 7pm - Saturday 1am EST) OR Sunday ~1am-7am CET (Saturday 7pm - Sunday 1am).
Yes, I know, it's not a very convenient time for some of you but I can't change the time and I'm certain, you'll find something else in the downtime. I just hope that'll remove the server-instabilities and we all can enjoy a lag-less experience of breaking blocks
Town is looking really good, here's an overhead shot a few structures that are 'missing' have just been moved to better spots so if you come in here and OMG WHERES MY STUFF we moved it just ask in game.
and here's an update on our town plans
planned roads are NOT exact just the general area we want them.
We had some drama today, someone wasnt on for over a week and we removed their building because it was in the way of town hall and it was before Cane had the mod that allows him to cut and paste blocks on the map.
Now here's the story, if you're one of the people we had to do this to, just let us know we'll give you your blocks back we didn't do this out of spite or anything. Just it was in the way of town, if your stuff is missing most likely we moved it, if we did have to take it down we'll give you all your shit back seriously. This doesn't have to be a big ordeal.
Said person decided to TNT another building that we hadnt taken down/moved yet because we are still waiting on a response then lied about it ._. this was completely unnecessary we were probably going to take it down or move it anyways. Hell we probably would have let them TNT it just for the fun of it if they had just asked.
TL;DR be nice, love and tolerance all that stuff, if we had to mess with your building just ask it's probably still in tact somewhere and we can move it for you. If not we'll give you your blocks back and probably even help you rebuild it.
The server will be moving to a new physical machine, so I will be running backups to ensure everything gets saved. Server will be down until further notice.
Those town plans look pretty cool, I lucked out when I half randomly chose my house position, its close to the town but not too close to be in the way of anything atm :p
except for that tiny bridge at the front but if that has to go so be it, only took like 3 seconds to make hehe
edit: one random question, can we all donate stuff into Aranarth's storage or is that for something in particular?
So about that main road: what are we making it out of? I'd like to suggest stone bricks, I think they look the best for a road. I also have an absolute shit ton of stone made and am still making more that I can donate to the cause.

Stone bricks for the most part, big thoroughfares will probably be 4 wide while side connectors will be a normal 2 also main roads might have edges to them and lanterns etc. We're trying to find if theres a mod to extend light range so we won't have to have five million torches everywhere to stop spawning.
Any stone brick or smooth stone (to make stone brick) that you need, feel free to come to my mine and take some from the chest labeled "stone". There's a ton of it in there.
So... you guys should totally make a video-tour of Liquestria for us non-minecrafters sometime! I'd love to see how you ponies have been spending all your time away from IRC.
From what I can see in the pictures, it's probably a good thing I didn't join in. I'd probably just end up ashamed of my meager architecture skills. The christmas tree is pwetty!
I should be really sad that all of my work from this week is completely underground and unseeable by a screen shot and...wait, ya that does make me sad .
But for the main roads I want to talk to Cane a bit more about width, I think the entirety of the main road should be four blocks wide. If they are meager 2lane roads most people will just take normal shortcuts. I'll probably stop working on my giant hole to the center of the earth tomorrow and make some mock ups.
Oh, and Iron Pick #28 met an unfortunate fate in The Hole. We lose a lot of great picks that way....RIP.

There's more to the game than architecture. =) There's gathering materials by mining, logging, or hunting down monsters; crafting useful items and keeping the tool chests stocked; farming to keep our food supply up. Though it is true -- most of the game is in constructing things, and I don't know how much I'd recommend Minecraft if you don't have any interest in actually making things.
Still, if you ever decided to drop by, we'd welcome you.
I'll be updating the OP today with more news. Should be something up in a few hours.
I was thinking since no one has claimed the foundation on the mountain to the southwest I think we should build a castle or something there. I would be glad to help since I now find my house to be done.
What do you think about that Commitee Mark Crusaders?

What do you think about that Commitee Mark Crusaders?
The problem with that mountain (and possibly one of the reasons whoever began construction up there stopped working on it) is that it's so close to the build ceiling that you can't really do anything big. We'll have to lower the mountain a bit if we want to make anything with a spire or tower.
Still, that's quite doable. The main reasons nothing has been built up there is 1) someone started a foundation there, clearly intending to build something, and we didn't want to step on their toes, and 2) nobody's had a great idea for what to put there yet.
At this point I think we might as well give up on expecting whomever made the foundation to come back to finish it. It's pretty much been like this since day one. So we're crossing off point 1 and focusing on 2. In other words, if anyone has some great ideas for the place, let's freaking do it already.
My airship is basically done, might add some bed's or something to the inside of it, but since there will be nothing connecting it to the ground, it's mostly there for looks/pegasi. It might fit in the "something low profile" area.
edit: or if you want to move it back to where it was, I think it would look nice.
The idea for the "something low profile" area is the across that particular stretch of mountains is very nice and we don't want anything overly large there that will block the view.
So a beach house or something along those lines there, the area behind the first few mountains of spawn is very very nice looking so we don't want the landscapes there to change too much. If you're going to build on one of the smaller hills sure okay terraform it but the big mountains and hills you should build on them not tear them down or blow up major portions etcs.
Minecraft authentication servers are STILL down, so no one can connect. Wonderful.
Updated the OP in the meantime. Not much new except the news.
Edit: Auth servers came up a while ago, so it's possible to connect again.
Also, for the sake of our new members: You might want to grab a custom skin. The way the MLP mod works is if you don't have a proper skin, it'll pick a background pony for you.
Ventrilo server Relocating the Lunar Sky Hall Zoning plugins to prevent monster spawning in certain locations Library Multi-world support Moon Cannon
These are my favorite things. I can't wait.
Also,we've been swept up with all the building and the planning, but I just want to thank everyone on the server for their time. You build REALLY cool things and put a lot of effort into the server. It may seem like we are overbearing at times with aesthetic demands, but that's only because we want the server to be good enough to deserve the time we all put in. The town square (err, circle?) is going to look so cool and the roads are gonna be awesome and all of the buildings will fit so perfectly.
The server itself seems to run fine by now, the moving definitely improved things a lot and we even have some resources to spare. Not much when it comes to RAM but a hayload of CPU. To improve communications between you fine miners and builders, I'll try to set up a voice-communications-server. In my opinion, there are two reasonable choices for dedicated vc-servers out there: Ventrilo and TeamSpeak 3.
Here are some major differences between those two:
Ventrilo: - simple and small window, easy to use - very good voice-quality - phonetics ( a lady, 'talking' to you things like 'AgonyOfLife has entered the channel' and stuff) - only 8 connections at the same time (yup, only 8 slots for a free dedicated server. will be "minecraft only". ) - easy for admins
TS3: - highly configurable - slightly lower voice-quality compared to vent - up to 32 connections at the same time (unregistered, non profit) / 512 connections (free registered non-profit server) - moderate for admins (but shouldn't be a problem at all. mc is way more difficult to admin )
CPU/Bandwith usage should be about the same for both.
In the end, it comes down to what you personally prefer to use. I completely understand if you don't want to install yet another VC-Client and have to get used to it.
So.. here we go: Which VC-Server do you want me to try out? (If for some reason the server can't handle VC we have to find another solution)

Hello, I've just finished up with the basement storage area of the community storage building. To avoid any possible confusion I figured I'd post this here. Essentially the basement is meant for spillover of certain items we will wind up have a lot of, such as dirt/stone/netherrack/wood/etc. Basically if you want to donate, say, a large amount of stone, and the stone chest in the main storage area is full, just go into the basement and place it in the correct chest. If you go into the basement and find there is no chest labeled 'Stone', feel free to put it in one of the unlabeled chests, and then properly label it as 'Stone'. This also applies for if there is already a chest in the basement labeled 'Stone' and it is full. If possible, try to keep similar items nearby (ie if the stone chest in the basement is full, don't put your stone in an unlabeled chest across the room, try to put it in a chest next to the current one). I will continue to organize and maintain the storage to try and keep items as easy to find as possible, but trying to follow these simple rules when depositing items will really help me out.

I voted for Ventrilo, but I can't tell if only having 8 slots would be a problem. It might just be safer going for teamspeak and maybe using it as just a global tlbronies voip?
I'm not sure if the opportunity to join the server is over or not, but I would like to join. My minecraft name is jordenjames88 I would like to be a pegasus. Thank you.
I would like to join the server too. My minecraft is SinkableRuby , and i want to be a unicorn! I would really appreciate this if i could join,and i pinky promise i wont grief.

I'll respond to both of you here and simultaneously take the opportunity to clarify this for anyone else:
Most of the people we have playing right now are known by us to some extent, meaning they are either from the TL brony community, or they're a friend-of-a-friend, that kind of stuff. Outsiders are welcome to come check us out, but if you want to join the server, I will need to talk to you before I give you the IP or set you up with permissions to do anything in there.
I don't want to make people jump through hoops just so they can come play a game with other gamers, but the server is a pet project of the TL brony sub-community, and we have to prioritise them over anyone else. Beyond that, we want to make sure that anyone who joins are chill people that we would like to have around.
Equally importantly: This is a My Little Pony themed server. We have had a few people asking to join our server who had no interest in the show. A bit strange, and I always ask them, "do you want to play with us, or do you just want to play Minecraft?" If the latter, there are plenty of other servers to join, and they'd probably be better off there anyway. After all, being MLP themed means that whatever you build can't be too thematically broken -- or, as I put it earlier, "no anti-gravity buildings made of lava."
Even so, we do have a couple of people in the server who don't watch the show, and who are just here to hang out with us and build cool looking stuff. It's not off limits by any means, but - and here it is again - I do have to talk to you people first.
Lastly, if you aren't a part of the TeamLiquid brony community, then you have to be pretty good at building things in Minecraft, and you need some modicum of aesthetics and talent. We're not here to accommodate you; you're the ones who want to play with us, so you have to bring something to the table.
If, after all of that, you are still interested in joining our project, then don't hesitate to get back to me. Either talk to me directly through PMs on TeamLiquid, or drop by our community's IRC channel: #tlponies on QuakeNet. (Webclient here if you don't have an IRC client.)
We love meeting new cool people in general, and our servers are pretty awesome hangouts so you'll have a lot of fun there. If in addition to that you want to help make this Minecraft project bigger and better, then that's completely awesome and we'd love to have you.

Dear community,
When I first started work on this project, I wasn't entirely sure how it would go. Was there sufficient interest? What would we do on the server? What plugins would we have, and how would people want to play? I hadn't ever put together a community server before. I had only rudimentary knowledge of servers and plugins. I certainly didn't know freaking Linux.
A week later, I was administrating a rented host machine in Germany, running Linux scripts, customizing plugins to suit our needs, and hacking away at Java code trying to crowbar petty annoyances into submission. The server was laggy, the fly mod was buggy. The work piled up, and I missed my deadline not once, but twice. It has been long, hard work.
To any of you whom I've been ignoring or happened to be cross with over the past few weeks: I sincerely apologise. It's a character flaw of mine to want things "just so", and with the long weeks of hammering this thing together, there's been little time to just sit back and enjoy it. There's certainly been little time to just watch you all work on awesome things, and enjoy the creativity and the community.
Well, I'm doing it now, and I've come to the conclusion that you guys are amazing.
Let me just summarize the situation for all of you since it bears remembering: We are a sub-community of Minecraft players from a sub-community of My Little Pony fans from a community site for professional StarCraft. How much more niche can you freaking get, and why are there still so many of you working hard to create cool things?
I've said this so many times before, but I'll say it again: This community is freaking awesome, and I thank you all for letting me be a part of it. I wouldn't put in this much time and effort for anyone else.
It has been long, hard work. And it's been so cool.
I take away from this project a great many things. I now know how to work the basics of Linux. I've improved my organizational skills. I'm tweaking scripts again, and I have an interest in getting back to programming. I've learned a bit of patience, and a lot of acquiescence.
But more importantly, it's given me close friendships with amazing people like Tee, who went from lurking in the shadows to saying, "You know what? I'll buy us a dedicated server we can host this on, then spend days and weeks out of my time teaching some jackass Norwegian dude how to use Linux so that he can operate the server whenever I'm not available to exude my field of concentrated win."
It's given me the privilege of working for days on big in-game projects alongside the awesome people in the Shadowbolts: Raelcun, Requiem, Camail, Aranarth, and freaking StarDragon who keeps buying shit for this community when he doesn't have to, I mean the Mare-A-Thon prize giveaways and the Fluttershy plushie weren't enough for you so you had to go buy us a dedicated Ventrilo server, too? I mean what the f
It's given me the opportunity to wander around and look at the creativity of all the participants, to get to know you all better and to enjoy your company.
And it's given me something more to work on, another way to give back to this community which makes me smile every goddamned day.
There is one more favour I'd like to ask of you all. Yes, I'll be fishing for compliments here, but screw it - it's Christmas!
Can you all please let me know what you think about the server, and how you feel about how I've been running it? At least, tell me how you like it here? On the whole... I don't actually know. There's been precious few thank-yous, and few straight up compliments, or even comments. I ask this with apprehensive hope, because this project has been a gigantic task to get off the ground, and it is ever the lamentation of artists to fret over the opinions of those who partake in their labours of love.
Either way: Thank you. Thanks for putting up with me through all this even when I'm being an ass, thanks for making working on this a blast, and thanks for making amazing stuff in our server. You're all great, and I hope I can keep working on this project.

"Say, why don't we have our own Minecraft server?"
From the simplest of seeds...
Let me begin with Thank You!
You can fish for compliments cause you've earned them mate :p
I could write alot here and perhaps I will in the future but for now I just want to extend my gratitude for the Minecraft server, its been alot of fun and things are really running smoothly now, I appreciate the work that has been put into it
even though i'm just a lazy user I do enjoy logging on in the mornings to refill my apple chest a little after hungry ponies been munching them during the european night / american evening and wandering around enjoying the wonderful creations folks come up with.
I have met some amazing people in this since I became a part of this community, and I can say with some certainty you are one of them Cane
Thank you to everypony involved with the running of the MC server and the greater TL brony community as a whole, and merry christmas!
I can't imagine the amount of work you guys have been doing behind the scenes to keep this little pet project up and running. And since the last time I logged in before I left, it was running amazingly. Keep up the good work, as I want a wonderful Liquestria to come back to after break. (plus I need to finish my diamond... it bothers me that there is still some dirt up there)
Aye cane, Just like Zounds said, HUGE THANK YOU to both you and Tee, for this amazing server.
How much time and effort you two put into it is amazing, literally seeing you be up for like 16 hours in skype at a time just working on the server. + Show Spoiler +
While I did nothing but help make you less productive xD
Not to mention setting up the whole server like 3 days before the Mare-a-Thon, your day was all ponies. And is it very easy to see that all the effort did pay off and come to light as how well the server's mod works and how much it feels like a unique pony server. We have our very own Liquestria to log into now, and it feels so clean and natural. :D
Everyone in the server is amazing, and fun to hang out with, glad to hear some of your voices over Ventrilo now to boot. Just fun to fly around in there hang out and see what people are building.
So once again thanks to both Cane and Tee and the awesome people in the server that make it a blast to hang out in.
Ehh your post needs more pictures of the storage... jk jk
What you guys did for all of us that use the minecraft server is amazing. I honestly don't know where you find all the time! I've spent so much time playing on the minecraft server since it went up, and even bought my own account just to play with you guys. This server is by far the most fun I've ever had playing minecraft, and with the new vent server (thanks StarDragon!), getting to actually talk to you guys while playing makes it even more enjoyable. While I haven't done much in the past few days between being busy with family and with friends and my framerate at times making building unbearable, I hope to try to give back to the server making stuff look nice (EVERYTHING MUST BE SYMMETRICAL /ocd), and just doing whatever I can to help. The server is doing a lot better than I first expected, which is awesome seeing all the work you put into it. I'm always afraid I'm going to log in at what should be peak hours and find that there is no one on, but to my surprise there will be 8+ people on. It's really great seeing the server going to use, and I hope it continues to be played on by all of you awesome people for a very long time.
Thanks again for setting up such an awesome server, you awesome people (btw did I mention you're awesome?)
You are so kind and helpful that I don't really know what to say. You've helped me understand that Norwegians aren't just a bunch of bad drivers that invade Sweden during the summers, at least one of you is really cool. And to the rest of the Shadowbolts: You are awesome, keep it up.
I really love this server, it feels nice too have somewhere to go and just be yourself.
I really like the server, I just wish my internet connection wasn't so horrid, it's the only reason I can't be more active. When I log in sometimes it just keeps disconnecting me D: I definitely enjoyed the idea, and think it works really well and I'm glad you worked so hard on it because it turned out really well.
Let me just say that it's been a while since I've dumped so many hours into a game. I've never played minecraft before, so I can't compare, but I've had a ton of fun playing around in the server with you guys.
Thanks a lot, Cane and the rest of The Committee Mark Crusaders
Well as new that I am, I really enjoy hanging out with the crew whether it be on IRC, or the MC server. And i really enjoy listening to the people on vent, even though I don't talk on it. I appreciate all the hard work that was put in this server, even wishing I could help. I am more mysterious to you guys because I'm more new to the people on TL, and am a very quiet guy, but I enjoy all the hard work and the joys I've had this year were amazing. I got to spend this December with bronies and laugh at the jokes and troubles of the people on the MC server with bloody's farm and the exploding candy cane! However, I still feel a little bad because I never got to help, and i feel more of a solo kind of guy because I don't really talk much and feel a bit nervous around you people. Yet, I always enjoy listening to the awesomeness of you guys. This server really helped me enjoy the company of other strangers, from a site I visit just to watch starcraft all day. Who knew it would change me this much? I wanna wish everyone a Merry christmas, especially Cane, Gary, and SD for hosting Mare-A-Thon which helped me find you guys, and also for helping me get associated with the people here, and also thanks for giving me the best gift I could ever hope to get; a whole month of ponies and awesome times with people all over the world, while having a good laugh and getting killed by OP alicorns! (i hope you know who i'm talking about ) thanks for letting me enjoy this experience, and maybe someday you guys can learn more about me! I hope you ponies will someday force me to join on the projects, and show me how a MC server works because I'm so clueless on the creativity side + Show Spoiler +

These was just words I wanted to write, free to you to read.
Dear Cane, and by the way, dear community,
I so delightfull to write these words to thanks you, as my little level of english allows me to.
It was a September of 2011, as my life was darkly eaten by my first work, which I hated so much. The days were all the same, I woke up amazingly tired to have a travel through my city which took only one hour of my time, doing a boring stuff at work, with none by my side and with no noises around in a dark and cold room before my screen, then eat with people I don't like neither and mimick some smiles when their stare land on my eyes, then go again in that room and work again, to finally travelling back to home (one friggin hour once again) and land in front of my computer, reading some stuff, playing some guitar and go to sleep. That was my life before, fortunately I had friends and girlfriend but no time to spend with them, which I regret but eh, work is work.
One saturday night, at one of my friends' house, they began to talk about how Brood war was and about all the LAN we did on this game and on WC3 before, which period miss us really, when we still alltogether and sharing some fun. The subject drifted soon about Starcraft 2, game we all rushed since the first day to complete the campaign and to be amazed by the scenario and such, but we didn't ladder in anyway or so (some games for me, still), and they talked about a duo of french caster I began to watch as soon as I get back home.
In one of these videos, the casters talked about a website which are their reference for all news in E-sport, were they get stuff to present players, teams, maps, builds and such. This website, as we all know it, is Teamliquid.net. I took a look quickly to see how it look like and I closed the browser after, to sleep and get on my routine again.
As some of us use to, I frequent the website called Memebase, because I'm kind of a veteran of Internet and particulary like the kind of humor some poeple may have in these comics / macro images and such. This is were I got my first contact with ponies: a pony picture made the front page, with an obscure meme I can't remember.. I first found the drawing kind of nice, but I told to myself this kind of material is not for me anyway, while headbanging to badass metal. But still this picture stayed in my mind, quickly submerged by the stress of work and the deadline coming too fast, and the indeciveness of my boss ruining my work, until one day an idea arise.
I where laying on the bed with my girlfriend, both of us were on their laptop, checking the usual stuff (Mail, facebook, youtube, and for me only, memebase) when another pony meme emerged on the front page. I was kinda intrigued by these drawing of colorfull ponies emerging in the Internet for a reason I completely ignored at this point, and I told to my dear : "Darling ? Want you to watch an episode of My Little Pony with me ?" She stared at me in silence for few but long seconds. "...Are you serious ?" "It's a anime, why wouldn't we take a look ?" "... Why not..." Then we began to watch the first episode. The first part achieved we were amazed by the quality of the stuff but the doubt stayed in our mind as we watch the second one. Then we get hooked so madly. We watched several others episodes this night, and we began to discuss of it. The next week I watched the whole first season by myself and some of the episodes with her. In her side, she began to draw ponies, and to show it to her friends.
Then one day I came back to find some advices on the Terran Strategy on TL, as I began to play SC2 again with a friend in 2v2. The only thing I saw this day was three little words, in one side of the screen :"My little po.." under the General Section of the forum.
I clicked.
A grin began to grow on my face. This is no private jokes from the Internet nor an obscure fashion out of nowhere, I'm not a weirdo no more. There is people who DOES like this kind of thing, and who shares each other and talk about it on the web. The discovery of that thread was the key for me to embrace my fanhood without fear and to enjoy myself as part of something awesome. I began to read the thread, then I noticed a IRC channel, which I joined in the next minutes. It was one of the warmest welcome I ever experienced on the Internet from a community I didn't know, from people I never met before. Thanks to GaryOak and some others, I stayed on the channel the whole night talking to people who shared the same interest with : Starcraft and ponies. And I began to come back some days, to have fun, to talk, to laugh, to share. And by the way, everyone was kind with me, talked to me as never before, and we shared alltogether in one place we know to have this kind of ambiance. I don't know who to thanks for such a place on the huge net, but this is definitely my favorite amongst all. I spent numerous days and night on that channel, because I was with people I liked, and who seems to like me too.
The days went too fast for me. Really too fast.
I spent my whole days at work waiting for just one thing : Go back to home soon and embrace my fanhood and share it with people.
For now, what can I say ? I've met some wonderfull people when times weren't that kind for me, I've met a wonderfull universe, characters and stories as mine was not that interesting. For what I can say, I'm not particulary awesome in any way. I'm just a pile of blood and bones which interact with other piles of same materials. But what is awesome is what we do. The spread of the fandom amazes me in so many ways, as I begin to discover other bronies, who share much more than talk about the show. They create songs, stories, pictures from beyond all imagination, they put pure fuel in the flame of the bronyhood, and making it live on and on days after days, inspiring a lot of people to do the same thing. And I'm glad to participate to such a movement, to have met the people I have met and to share its magic with them.
I am not that talentfull. I mean by that I've not found any domain or range of skill I particulary shine in. I've practised a lot of sports, playing tons of games and played some instrument but still, we may call me a blank flank at this point.
But what I'm glad for is to have launched the idea we talk about : The minecraft server, Liquestria, call it how you want. I want to thank you, anyone, everyone who have put a hoof on that land and who have ever picked or put a block in here, and to anyone who want to join us in. This is a dream coming true once again : Be part of a community which I like, and have something, somewhere, somewhat to share, to work on, to laugh with, to be amazed by, to tell everyone how awesome we are and how we welcome anyone wanting to join us. I hope one day Liquestria will become famous and our very small community can expand to share fun with other peoples, to have our very little home world of awesomeess, just few clicks away.
I want first to thanks GMarshall, to have opened this thread among TL and to have shared your epicness with us and launched a called to every other wandering bronies. Thanks to you to show me the way in here =)
I want to thanks GaryOak, which was the very first one to welcome me on the IRC channel and to have talked to me as I was still a perfect stranger in here. Your fanfiction is on great ways and I'm still craving for the last chapters, as the first hooked me into the IRC ! You are awesome, and keep on the way.
I want to thanks everypony that I've encoutered on the channel and the forum, countless people with who I shared some time to help them, to laugh with them, to discuss, and making by this way a place I want to stay for ever.
I want to thanks Cane, which beside the fact this guy is allready awesome enough, have dedicated his entire body, soul, spirit, mind, karma, essence into making the server a reality and up and running, and Liquestria as we know it for now. I've spent numerous hours on skype with him to share laugh and kidness, ideas and theories for the server, cutting my sleep patterns to talk with. You are one of the most kind person I ever met in my whole life, and for that, a big BIG thank to my favorite alicorn.
Tee, I don't know you that much for now, but I want to thanks you for participating much more than anyone would have expected from a stranger in a project I tossed one day in a IRC channel. This guy deserve to be among the mythology of liquestria as the founder of the world.
And thanks to you, who have read my post entirely. I miss some thought on the road back here, so please forgive me If my ideas drift a bit, and my flawfull english.
I may not be present these days (work again...) but Merry Christmas to everyone, and Merry Eve day (the 31th I mean) ! I'll offer a present for the community on the server but I may be late... Don't be angry... please... *fluttervoice* Fine, here is the first picture of it... Too bad my camera is broken, no ?
I'll probably going to make a long post in the MLP thread about my experience as a brony, but I want to post some relevant stuff here.
First of all, thank you guys for putting up with me. I know I'm a bit of a extreme personality and its really nice to know that I have a place.
Second, CANE. HOLY SHIT CANE. You are the wizard of our community. Everything big that has happened is because of you. Anyone can fill in a community (you'd object though, stfu I'm making a point), but you make everything happen that is cool in this community. +1 to you my friend.
This server is so cool, I've said it many times before and I will continue to say it every day I log in. I have never spent this much time on any sort of public project before. It's something about us...it just makes me want to DO things for you guys! I want everything to be awesome and I want to spend hours upon hours on vent and be bored with everyone else and just talk and hang out and build and rape and build and..... >_>.
There is still a lot of work to be done, and I still have a few more iron picks to kill. I hope this never ends.
Hi. I don't play minecraft as I don't really want to invest in a superbasic game like that. I also never got into MLP because lack of time and refusal to cave in to such in-depth meme fanboyisms. But I must say, I have been lurking your MLP Minecraft updates and they just look so awesome. It looks like a fantastic thing you guys got going around here, wish I was a part of it :D
Okay. Everyone? That was awesome. Thank you. I'm really glad all the hard work is paying off and that the server is generating the necessary Lunaplex levels of fun. Makes me feel good about the project and the work I'm doing. So, thank you.
Am I a bad person for laughing at this for a good minute?

That was awesome and you are awesome. It's really cool that you check out our progress in our (keywords) MLPMinecraft server even though you 1) don't watch MLP, and 2) don't play Minecraft. Weirdo. But thank you. That's really cool. Cheers!
There's actually been a couple of people dropping by just to compliment us on the fun stuff we've made so far. I don't have any direct quotes because I'm an idiot and can't find them right now, so just assume they were talking about your building.
Edit: Server is back up after a pretty nasty restart. I was forced to kill the server process because the server was completely unresponsive. It did not die gracefully.
However, because I am AMAZING, the server should have saved all the important information not ten seconds before it died, so nothing should be lost. I still recommend dropping by to double check, however, especially if you were just in there.
Also, big welcome to newcomers jorden and Ruby who are currently working on an awesome looking tree house. Seriously. They have floor plans and everything.
Dear Cane, all I want for Christmas is monsters to stop spawning right next to lights. My Telescope currently has stupid numbers of torches in it and a creeper still managed to spawn inside. @#$!$#@$(P*&#@$ that is all
Happy Hearth's Warming Eve, everyone! Luna left some presents under the tree last night, and curiously, a few of them appear to be labelled. Not sure why.
Hey Cane, guess what landed in ur bucket after I got surprised by a creeper? + Show Spoiler +
I noticed a lack of Fluttershy pictures in the town hall, and I wanted to secretly add some...if it needs to go down I shall but i wanted to share the best first pic i just put down + Show Spoiler +
Also heres my fav pony in the town hall (also will take down if it shouldn't be there sorry if i did something i shouldn't have ) + Show Spoiler +
Cane, I wanted to thank ur hard efforts in this community, as well as Sonic, by bringing you...our creation. Please look inside, laugh, and enjoy Hearths Warming Day :D + Show Spoiler +
Sonic wanted to extend his utmost gratitude to Cane and all the other awesome people on the server and in TLponies (you have to check the inside to know what it says though) + Show Spoiler +
today i learned that trolling other ponies results in huge increase of something i call RAGE, getting your house glassed, making it a house of animals TWICE , having 2 other ponys decorate it with netherrack and having a huge giant hole from explosion set up by somepony else . And especilly dont you even try to mess up with your sister she is one hell of a trollluna . i wish you were here .
Squids are glitchy he's not actually on that side of the wall he's still on the other side theo nly way to kill him is to go into the water and spam your sword at him. Squids also don't show damage properly so you can't tell if you're hitting him or not... yeah it's annoying as sin.
So, I finally got to sit down and play some minecraft after Christmas Break. I come back to find that Cane is building yet another image of narcissism so I decide to defile it with my presence. + Show Spoiler +
After being ignored for a while, I then decide it was high time I finished putting the roof on the obsidian factory. Camail did not like the design, (or why I should keep it at all) but who needs him or his opinion anyway? ( =D ) + Show Spoiler +
Next, I proceeded to dig escape tunnels leading to the obsidian factory and deeper into the earth to start my own personal mine. Now I just need a place to stash those diamonds... + Show Spoiler +
Lastly, I created my chicken coop. From humble beginnings it spawned... just 3 of my chickens survived living in the obsidian factory, as many perished by self-drowning in the most ironic fashion in my safety fountain. The 3 chickens that survived would be the start of my humble operation to harvest eggs and feathers. + Show Spoiler +
Little did I know that raising chickens would soon become a slight addiction for me, and I kept up with it for the next couple of hours... + Show Spoiler +
Needless to say, my chickens learned when daddy was coming around with the chicken Viagra, if you know what I mean! + Show Spoiler +
Please don't take water from oceans or lakes without fixing the water afterwards.
I've had to fix dozens of broken water physics, whirlpools, and flowing water near river/lake edges over the past few days. If you need to get water, get it from an infinite square so it fills in naturally. An infinite square is a square of water only one square deep, that is surrounded on at least two sides by two other squares of water.
For instance:
This is an infinite water square. It's one block deep, and has two adjacent squares of water.
Thus, if I take water from it...
It fills back in just fine, and settles.
However:
This is not an infinite water square. If I try to take water from here...
Note the ripples in the adjacent squares of water. These ripples never go away, and the water from the adjacent squares will constantly flow into this square. Broken water physics.
You can fix these by making the water one block deep. So if I put a dirt block directly underneath...
The ripples disappear. Now it's fixed, and I can remove the dirt block again should I so choose.
Also, if you dig into the side of a lake to get sand or clay, please fix it afterwards, with dirt or whatever, so it doesn't look like the lake is flowing into nothing. It looks aesthetically horrible. In other words...
Good effort, but looks too much like plastic in my opinion. Wool shouldn't be single colour. The problem with the default Love and Tolerance pack is that the patterns are too distracting/glaring, but having two subtle colours is better than uniform.
Raelcun is putting together a hotfix; we'll see how it turns out.
oops thought I was supposed to pm, anyway, username:surreyjack Class:unicorn EDIT:just saw the post about new people and I guess I will get involved with the Team Liquid Brony community. Sry
I am going to be phenomenally nice here and tell you 3-4 people who have recently PMed me asking to join the server that I have been ignoring you because you didn't read the OP. I have now updated said OP, and I've made it quite clear what you guys need to do if you want to join.
Since I don't want to end on a stern note, I will leave you with this artist's rendition of what goes on in our server 100% of the time.
1) Don't cut leaves off of trees and just leave them, cut them down and replant them. Leaving trees in partial states of deforestation looks bad, finish cutting down your trees, replant them if they're near spawn or near someone's structures.
2) This area is clearly teraformed by Lyfe and Gvandur, it's marked by a sign in the middle of the clearly terformed lake. This is even very far away from town and then you messed up their scenery. Specifically the circle of trees around the lake are now missing a lot of leaves.
3) You also built a gigantic castle right in their back yard, for something that big don't build it right in someone else's back yard.
4) When someone moves several hundred blocks away from town don't build right next to them unless you ask. They most likely went that far away from town to have a lot of space don't just drop a structure there especially a big one.
5) What is with the giant creeper statue? Again this is someone's back yard why are you messing up the view so much?
This is all very common minecraft courtesy come on ._. the castle itself isnt that bad except for the giant creeper statue made out of leaves. The maze looks cool, maybe try to mix in some more stone and other textures instead of 100% cobble but it looks good. Just put it somewhere ELSE and don't mess up people's trees.
edit: A lot of this building right next to people stuff is only the case for structures outside of town. If you build something in the middle of town yes you're going to have neighbors deal with it.
What Raelcun said. It's like you checked the book for every single "no" just so you could systematically break as many of them as possible. In addition to the above points:
1) Your outer walls are hollow and there were about 35 mobs in there. No, that's not hyperbole. 2) Why does the 40 block tall grass creeper belong in a My Little Pony server? 3) That's not traditional fire. 4) When you take water, or sand/clay next to water, fix it afterwards. Don't let it remain as above, broken and ugly. In fact, just read this post.
This all also comes right on the heels of abandoning your unfinished tree house project right after you constructed the ugly ass anti-gravity glass walkway around it which I had to remove.
I'm going to move the castle somewhere further off, as well as try to fix the trees you ruined. I really hate to be a dick and all, but this is just way too much no in one package.
So far, my favourite Minecraft project has been those tapestries. The eye came out particularly nice, and Raelcun's top hat/monocle/moustache from Moonstuck makes me giggle every time.
I want to change a few of the other ones, though. Specifically, I'm not too fond of the lightning or the Shadowbolt one. If anyone has any good ideas for MLP / Luna related stuff that would look good in a tapestry, please tell me. My main problem has been coming up with worthwhile and related things that could be adequately presented within such a small canvas. (The canvas is 10x25 blocks, if you're interested).
So if you have any good ideas, let me know. Or make one yourself, alternatively!

Do you have a download for it?
We're working on the texture pack right now. Hopefully we'll have something to show for it soon.
We'll post a link to it today so people can check it out, but you don't need to do so just yet if you don't want to. We'll run it through Requiem and maybe jorden for tweaks and revisions before we make it "official". Once it's tweaked to the point where we like it, we'll tell everyone they should download the new one and use that, just so we're all on the same page, artistically speaking. =)
Well I redid some of the armor but it's actually very limited on what I can do because the pony mod itself is bugged in how it deals with the armors. Hopefully it's just a current version bug and they will update it, but right now the helm texture is copied on the rear half of the body so working with the iron armor I had to make a texture that looked good on the head and the body at the same time.
This means I wasnt able to do the leather armor I wanted to until they fix it.
Here is the texture pack it's not necessarily done yet we're going to run it through a few other people on if they want to change anything else first before we put it in the OP and officially recommend it for use.
Stardragon's rainbow trump tower looks so much better on the new and improved texture pack.
also the iron armor has undergone some... improvements
Yes that's commander Hurricane's armor
also gold armor is now Celestia's jewelry similar to how Diamond is Luna's
this also means on all 3 real armor sets (not including leather) wearing pants shows no visible signs on your character so you can wear pants and boots to get some armor and not cover anything major
While y'all recover from new years shenanigans I claimed the throne in the name of Zounds true Queen of the night Not really, please don't send me to the moon
Ok guys, for those who haven't heard about it yet, I've been working on a new community building : The Moonfall Archive. Actually it's a huge library we will put in front of the town hall near the town center. I'm glad to say the design is finished yet (I've made it in creative solo mode first), but you won't see it until the Shadowbolts have built it. The contruction process will only be made by the Shadowbolts for now, but you can participate too, by supplying us with ressources.
Somepeople will feint by reading this but it's the list of what we need.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN !
Actually we don't need obsidian (I've slipped when I counted) but we need all other stuff.
Have a good day, and thanks to participate =) And for the others, we will keep you tuned for when it's done, we may have a party to celebrate it =D
other than getting the resources, anything specific need to be done to it? (i'm getting crap tons of wood and stone and making sonic put them in the chest :D) also not sure where to put the gold block etc... i will do what i can though!
As far as we know, air is deadly, so we may abort the library because of the quantity of air we need. Indeed, we can try to build it somewhere there is no air... Like on the moon.
Welp, we just had another server hiccup. Once again, a few selective things got reverted back to the way they were almost a day ago. For instance, Dragonicus' keep is now back to where it was (wtf), and all the terraforming done to that hill is null and void. The trees around Gvandur and Lyfe's underwater dome are once again bare, and Rael fixed those... well, days ago, really. Also, I made a mob grinder near the same chunk (near Pigsquirrel's keep, underground), and that mob grinder is now gone, and all the work I did down there is undone.
Also, StarDragon's house returned to its original place... as a COPY. I removed it again. I'll move Dragonicus' keep later when I don't feel like committing suicide.
On the flip side, almost everything else seems current. Everything we (meaning SD and I) have been working on up until like 20 minutes ago when this hiccup occurred is fine, and it seems like everything else is, at least on the surface. However, I still recommend you all log in and check if any of your stuff is missing. I can almost guarantee that a few of you will have lost at least a little progress. If you notice any items missing, I can at least spawn those in.
Hello, everyone. I know I haven't seen any of you for quite a while. Almost a month I think. Anyways, I recognize that I was banned for blowing up someone's house and then denying it and I would like to sincerely apologize. I would like to apologize to Aylear for lying and also to whoever's house it was that I damaged. I tend to get quite upset when things are stolen from me and I'm afraid that I simply lost my temper on that occasion, then regretted it and tried to cover it up. I would really like to be able to go on this server again because you have a great community here and I have no other servers to play on, however, I would completely understand if you did not want me on your server. I realize that I have broken the bond of trust between myself and the members of this server and I would like a chance to rebuild that trust.

We were wondering if you were going to stop by. We always said that if you ever did, if you showed regret, you could come back, and we hold to that.
You should read this post, made by Raelcun around the time it happened, just for clarification:
On December 17 2011 08:17 Raelcun wrote: We had some drama today, someone wasnt on for over a week and we removed their building because it was in the way of town hall and it was before Cane had the mod that allows him to cut and paste blocks on the map.
Now here's the story, if you're one of the people we had to do this to, just let us know we'll give you your blocks back we didn't do this out of spite or anything. Just it was in the way of town, if your stuff is missing most likely we moved it, if we did have to take it down we'll give you all your shit back seriously. This doesn't have to be a big ordeal.
Said person decided to TNT another building that we hadnt taken down/moved yet because we are still waiting on a response then lied about it ._. this was completely unnecessary we were probably going to take it down or move it anyways. Hell we probably would have let them TNT it just for the fun of it if they had just asked.
TL;DR be nice, love and tolerance all that stuff, if we had to mess with your building just ask it's probably still in tact somewhere and we can move it for you. If not we'll give you your blocks back and probably even help you rebuild it.
In short, we didn't just steal your stuff or break your house - we had to remove it because it was in the way, and nobody claimed it for over a week. :/ Hopefully that clears things up.
Anyway, I've removed the ban from the server so you're free to come back, no restrictions. You are still set up as a Pegasus. Hopefully you'll enjoy the experience more this time around. =)

I could bring you some cobblestone when I can. I'll just leave them in your house if you're not around (That is if I can find it ). Maybe I can start this weekend.
If you ever find yourself shit outta luck near x91 y64 z-288 look for the big red medical symbol, i've set up a rest stop there!
There isnt much traffic around there I know but in my adventures around those parts I was tired of always traipsing back home to clear my inventory and sort out my gear again so this place will serve me well, and of course any other folks that come by are welcome to take what they need, ill keep it stocked up if I ever run low on stuff there.
There is spare armour, weapons and tools with some furnaces, an enchanting table and a handy lava pit to discard yourself of rotten flesh and bones / string or cobblestone you might find your inventory full of!
i've not made it look particularly nice yet of course but everything functional is there.
i would like to join i have a horn and wings on my skin but id like to be any class that flys id like to be a pegusis if i cant be a alicorn (obviosely closed class) BTW whats the ip?

huh, I didn't know that there was already a rest stop in the desert area. Anyways, I remembered someone mentioned that Sand and Sandstone were a precious commodity at the moment because of the fact that the roads were built of sand.
So how about we go on an mining expedition and just dig up a whole lot of sand and bring it back?
I'm doing some clean-up work on the server machine today, so the server might go down a couple of times today. I'll let you know in-game if it's about to happen, however. I'm expecting smooth sailing anyway.
Happy gaming.
Edit @ 17:02:
Server's going to be down for a bit longer than expected. Will update here when it's back up.
Clarification: The server has been up all day, it's just temporarily down for 10-15 minutes while we clean up some memory stuff and rearrange some plugins. =)
Hey, just so everyone knows, I'm starting a new semester of school on Monday, which means that I'm leaving Sunday, which means that today will be my last day spending a lot of time on the server. I don't know how often I'll be able to get on in the next couple of months, so some of my projects might take a while to complete.
i wanna join :3 my minecraft name is the same as my username .. except no (.) and btw im also a alicorn..as my first skin i chose ill change it if i have to though
The courtyard has undergone significant changes, and the design phase is actually done. Now it's just detail work remaining, and some minor stuff.
Thanks for your input, everyone who showed an interest in the place. I really appreciate it. Big thanks to StarDragon for making the grove (which you can't see on the pictures) which is as-yet unfinished, and for coming up with the "hybrid" idea. He knows what I'm talking about. =)

Please read the opening post. Alicorns are reserved for admins only. You'll have to choose something else.
You didn't even show all the signs SD ._. also bloody there were only 2 levers with torches directly above them and he said the clues are in the torchlight... Every lever puzzle always has the torches above the right levers and he said you were going to die... most obvious trap ever.
Major update coming. The server will reload/refresh a whole bunch over the next 30 minutes to an hour as stuff comes in. Expect lag spikes and brief downtimes.
You can toggle any light source on/off using redstone circuitry

Moon Cannon
Specific regions near town where hostile mobs do spawn at night
Improved sticky pistons
www.liquestria.net
Brief plug-in information:
1) Right now, hostile mobs don't spawn in anywhere in the town proper (although they can still spawn underground). This means we can focus more on simply making a good lighting scheme and adding ambiance. Over the coming days, there will be a few specified areas around town where hostile mobs can spawn in, but the roads should remain clear.
2) The new optional enchanting system lets you specify enchantments at the enchanting table, although enchanting in this mode costs more levels per enchantment than normal (the price you pay for knowing what you get). Left click an enchanting table to enter EasyEnchant mode. Use the command lines specified (specifically the /ee command) to navigate the EasyEnchant system. As a basic example, if you wanted to enchant a sword with Sharpness 1, you would:
Left click the Enchanting Table
Type /ee to see a list of commands
Type /ee list to see a list of available enchantments
Type /ee cost sharpness 1 (optionally) to see how much the enchantment would cost
Type /ee sharpness 1 to add Sharpness 1 to the item you are currently holding in your hands
Left click the Enchanting Table to leave EE mode, or type /ee leave
3) You can now select paintings much easier. If you right click on a painting, you can use your scroll wheel to select the painting you want, then right click again (or walk away from the painting) to confirm.
4) You can use redstone circuitry to toggle lights off/on. You can toggle torches, netherrack fire, glowstones, and jack-o-lanterns. To make it work with torches, however, you have to right click on whatever torch you want to be able to toggle while holding redstone dust in your hands. If you do it right, this will give you a confirmation message.
The latter three (glowstone, netherrack, jack-o-lanterns) work out-of-the-box, although the way glowstones and jack-o-lanterns toggle on/off is kind of a hack (glowstones turn temporarily to glass, and jack-o-lanterns become pumpkins).
5) As stated, you can now connect to the server using www.liquestria.net in the IP field. However, you will still need to be set up with permissions before you are allowed to build or interact with the game world in any way. If you're new and you want to play, read the OP. All of it.
As always, let me know if there are any problems. I'm going to bed now.

No, it's not. If you want to play on the server, you have to hold off on updating for a while.
I'll be doing a major backup and working on the server, so it will be down for a couple of hours. I won't be able to update the software for a while, and I won't be able to update the plugins for some time after that, so things will be interesting for a while. For now, stay on the current version of Minecraft. If you've already updated, I hope I can give you a download later that reverts your version back to 1.0 so you can still play.
Minecraft client update breaks server connectivity. Server software update breaks plugins. Plugins update slowly. That's how it's always been, and it's annoying for server admins.
No, not yet. I'll be working on the server today, so it will be down for a few hours. This is done in the HOPE that I can update it, but chances are high that I can't do that for a few days, so if I were you I wouldn't update Minecraft until I give the go-ahead.
If it turns out that we can't update the server for a while, I'll try to provide a Minecraft download for those of you who already updated, to revert back to 1.0 so you can still play. It's the best I can do for now, and this is what happens every time there's an update, so there's nothing we can do about it. =)
If you already upgraded to version 1.1, you will have to revert back to version 1.0.0 in order to play on the server. If you play on our server then I can help you do that, but you will have to contact me, preferably in our IRC. =)
is this alternatively the clean version? cause a a friend and me are playing at our server and he did the update and cant connect, so would this work for us? we only have a plugin to prevent creeper from destroyung enviroment and enderman picking up blocks.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried it, I just grabbed that link from our IRC when someone asked for a clean v1.0.0 Minecraft.jar. That said, yes, that should be the CLEAN minecraft.jar for version 1.0.0, with no mods, so it should work for you guys. You will have to reinstall any client side mods if you had them, however.

Correct, if you revert Minecraft with that file, it will not affect server, it will be like a fresh install of Minecraft.

We love you and you know it. The trolling wars have been fun and I hope I didn't go too far in a few places. At least we helped you clean up the mess afterwards!
Hey everypony! Since I'm such a nice person and I have lots of extras, if you want a pony OC, I am doing a 100 ponies project, so just look on my DA or just tell me if you want one! <3
Also: I STILL LOVES YOU, BLOODY! I love everypony, no matter what! <3 <3 <3
To anyone coming in, read the entire OP ( original post, the very first one ), and do EXACTLY what it says. Take everything litterally. If you aren't already part of TL or the IRC group we will not tolerate any annoyance.
You could make one here but I don't know if it will work. I created one a few weeks back and it didn't upload .
I attempted to use it, but it doesn't recognize the creation as a pony; everyone else I see in game is a pony (Through MineLittePony)
What I did was that I extracted the mob folder into the desktop and picked one of the default ponies and opened it in photoshop. I then opened the creation also on photoshop and cut and pasted it on the default pony skin. A little clean up and upload the image. Be careful not erase the white dot on the upper left corner of the default pony for it to work.

Damn, that's a clever workaround. Nice job.
So, uh... do what he says!
In other news, I updated the OP a bit. Nothing major warranting news, but I've clarified some points and it should be more obvious now what people have to do if they want to join our server.
I thought I posted this already but I made StarDragon a custom alicorn skin so he wouldn't fly around as Fluttershy anymore posting it for people who wanted to see it.
I can make skins for people within reason just have to give me colors and a general idea, also I'm not going to make like five million of these. The alicorn has a bit extra coloration cuz well she's an alicorn normal ponies won't be as complex

I have been considering lowering the town circle platform to ground level for some time now. Although it would be a bitch to redesign a couple of things (The Town Hall comes to freaking mind), I think now more than ever, it would be worth it. The design as it is now is kind of awkward, and is a byproduct of the terrain back before we had a town proper.
In lowering the town circle to the ground, what I am hoping to accomplish is to create an actual town center. All the things currently connected to the circle would share a common courtyard, and be part of the same district. The circle itself wouldn't be fenced -- the whole area would be a whole, unified.
Before I can attempt it, I need to talk to Requiem, Camail, and Aranarth. You guys created the buildings surrounding the circle, and if we do this, we should talk about how best to redesign anything that requires such. Unfortunately, my sleeping schedule has prevented me from being online during peak hours when most of the Shadowbolts are around, and this will persist for another few days.
So I'll post here and ask your opinions. If you have any comments, let me know. But in general, here's what I'm envisioning:
The borders of this common yard would be at the back of the buildings, rather than the buildings being kind of attached to a corded off circle like it is now. There would still be a circle, but it wouldn't be fenced off. Rather, it might be a slightly raised hill with the tree at the top. All the current buildings would share this common courtyard, and we could design some fixtures for it pretty easily.
The memorial would be a part of the courtyard proper, and we could actually make it a cool looking memorial, rather than just something that's off under some stairs. The viewing platform and sky bucket would have to be rethought, if not removed, but we can easily do that as we go.
The entrance to The Hole would have to be cleverly done (and in fact I'd probably have to WorldEdit the platforms in the hole before lowering the circle, because fuck me if we're doing those stairs again).
I personally think this would look way better, and everything would be much more accessible. If we elect to do this, I would like to put up the Shadowbolt sky sign in the near future and have us all get online and work on it together.

Hey there! I was just kind of wondering if maybe I could move the cafe somewhere closer to the town circle. Would that be possible? Is there any room left? I have had people commenting on how out of the way it seems to be.
Also, to anypony else, I really don't like how the outside of the cafe is decorated... Anyone have any ideas? I like to stick to the colors pink, red, and white, since those are the main colors of my OC. Please tell me if you have any ideas!
I would suggest something similar to what you had previously. Having a large rainbow made of white/pink/red as the focal point. You could do pretty much anything else around that, too.

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking I'm gonna do:
Put another sort of orb coming off of the main half-sphere, so it looks more like a cloud, and then having the rainbow in between them?
Runecraft is a plugin that gives Unicorns the ability to create magical runes - symbols of power that can contain or release magical energy to create various effects. Currently, there are 13 runes available in the server of varying degrees of usefulness, with the potential for further additions at a later date.
Runes are essentially block patterns, arranged according to a recipe. Once created, they are activated by right clicking its center block.
Look in the wiki for how to create any one of these runes, and feel free to experiment. The "conjure" spell creates some magical reagents for you to use in your rune crafting.
As with any new system, any comments and constructive criticisms are welcome! It will be a while before we get this stuff all nicely balanced.

EDITED OUT THE LAST ONE DUE TO COPYRIGHT CLAIM!!! LOL
I've started setting up a teleporter hub. Currently, the only teleporters to it are from town and Fort Pigsquirrel. The town teleporter is temporary; it can be moved (currently it's just east of town circle, towards Bio's tower, on the left of the road. The key for the hub waypoint is 4 sand; feel free to add teleporters to the hub. Also feel free to claim any empty frames at the hub. The hub itself is under construction, so it's not finished yet. But, it is fully functional.
EDIT: In addition to the 6 vertical frames, I can add 4 horizontal frames. Also, the center teleporter is reserved. Don't use it.

Anyway, anyone else who wants a teleporter to their place, send me a PM or build one from the hub. It would be nice to have a solid network established.

I am announcing a new Whitewing construction project, that will require an extremely large plot of land, and is a very long term project. It will likely require many many hours (more than I should give, but what the hey?), and will be extremely impressive.
More details later once I find out if it's permitted.

Already on it. I've begun converting the tower into a teleporter hub. There's a teleporter from town, and to my fort. Also, can non-Unicorns take teleporter runes?

Yep. Only Unicorns can build them, but once built, anyone can use them.
Ok, unicornia (Until some pony comes up with a better name) is starting construction. A large open room for trying out runes/spells. and eventually spruced up to look nice. Currently it is only open to unicorns and alicorns, but maybe once its finished. If any pony would like to help, feel free. (There is a tele porter, in the hub, and inside my basement.)
The Teleporter Hub is well underway - already populated with 5 destinations: Fort Pigsquirrel, Town, the Sand Quarry, Unicornia, and Wolvie's Town. At this rate, expansion will be soon needed. And I haven't even enclosed the first level yet.
I just wanted to tell you to pretty pretty please with cherry and apples on top, let me know if anything on the technical side of the server isn't running smooth for you. Yes, I know you fine US-folks have some high latency because the server's located on the 'old continent'. But aside from that, please tell me if you're experiencing any major issues with the server by simply sending me a message here on TL. The reason for why I'm asking you this is the contract for renting the physical machine expires at early June and I have to know in time whether to extend the contract with the hosting-company or start looking for another hosting service to move our minecraft-server to (and: no, we won't lose any data at all, if we're moving to another machine. Cane and I are periodically backing up the server/world files in case of some major problems).
And as of right now, I'm not planning to move the server to the US (I'm sorry -.-''). Cane and I are planning to implement a website on the server to make it easier for you to be up to date with any improvements/changes we're doing on the server. And with this whole SOPA/PIPA thing going on right now, I personally am not comfortable of using a US-hosting-service for what we're planning. We wouldn't be able to put any mlp-related pictures in there and stuff like that. Yeah, I know, chances of being shut-down just because of that maybe slim, but I don't want to take any chances at all for all the work we all (and especially Cane) did to be all for naught just because of some pictures and some stupid regulations.
Anyway, please send me some feedback and maybe some suggestions on how to improve the server ♥
And slightly off topic: I'm pretty bad at designing stuff and at drawing. Uhm... is there anypony out there who can help me creating a decent looking OC to use in minecraft?

To be honest, there really isn't much lag at all here on the east coast of the US. The only time I get lag is from server refreshes and the like.

And with this whole SOPA/PIPA thing going on right now, I personally am not comfortable of using a US-hosting-service for what we're planning. We wouldn't be able to put any mlp-related pictures in there and stuff like that. Yeah, I know, chances of being shut-down just because of that maybe slim, but I don't want to take any chances at all for all the work we all (and especially Cane) did to be all for naught just because of some pictures and some stupid regulations.
Anyway, please send me some feedback and maybe some suggestions on how to improve the server ♥
And slightly off topic: I'm pretty bad at designing stuff and at drawing. Uhm... is there anypony out there who can help me creating a decent looking OC to use in minecraft?
Actually, SOPA/PIPA has been tabled which means it has been postponed indefinetly. So no need to worry about that.
And also, if you want, I can help you design an OC :D

I just wanted to tell you to pretty pretty please with cherry and apples on top, let me know if anything on the technical side of the server isn't running smooth for you. Yes, I know you fine US-folks have some high latency because the server's located on the 'old continent'. But aside from that, please tell me if you're experiencing any major issues with the server by simply sending me a message here on TL. The reason for why I'm asking you this is the contract for renting the physical machine expires at early June and I have to know in time whether to extend the contract with the hosting-company or start looking for another hosting service to move our minecraft-server to (and: no, we won't lose any data at all, if we're moving to another machine. Cane and I are periodically backing up the server/world files in case of some major problems).

Send me details and I can make you a skin I offered on the previous page ;p
Rael, if you are bored, you think you could help me with mine? I don't mind the color scheme too much, but it certainly is lacking in the detail category =D
Whoever is working on the teleporter hub - could you let people know what the signature tiles for the hub waypoint is? I want to add a teleporter from the library there in the future possibly.
I talked to the developer of the MagicSpells plugin (nisovin), and the next version (whenever the server finally upgrades to 1.1 ) will feature some pretty nifty stuff. Notably, there will actually be a notification around the time that the safefall and other buff spells expires. No more finding out at the end of a fall that "Your normal weight returns" along with a messy squish. Yay!

Yep. Teleporter hub waypoint is 4 sand. Waypoint to town is two wool, north and south, rest empty. (That's dynamic map north/south btw, aka f:2)

We should just make a list of everysingle teleporter sig because if Runes do share sigs, we don't want people accidentally doing something like, 4 sand and then finding themselves somewhere they really don't want to be.
Doesn't warrant an OP update on its own, but Unicorns will want to know:
I updated the MagicSpells mana system. It no longer shows the mana bar in chat while you're regenerating. Instead, you can see your mana bar if you put a wooden tool (pickaxe, axe, etc) in your last slot in your hotbar. The magic plugin will update the durability on the tool, acting as a mana bar.

Let me know if there's any problems. =)
no more mana regenerating taking up the chat? yes please. Binding all spells to a wooden tool will also make this MUCH more convineint. Kill two birds with one stone.

Cane! You're not helping! It's going to be June and he's still going to be going on about it.
On a more serious note, I've been away from home for a few days and I'll be able to finish the enchanting wing of the library basement tomorrow night, assuming you haven't all done it yourself. See you all on the server tomorrow.
OK, so we're getting a bunch of waypoints by now, so it may be a good idea to write down the signature blocks for various destinations. I have set up a pad for the purpose here: http://pad.telecomix.org/liquestria-teleports
Once we start getting a decent list, it may be a good idea to put it in the OP as well

Agreed! I think what I'll do is I'll put a static list in the OP for all the important waypoints (town, hub, etc), and also include a link to that pad, since the pad should hopefully include smaller locations as well.
Tomorrow, mcMMO should be coming in, and Earth Ponies especially should have some nice new tools. There's a couple more things coming, but that's if we can make it work with the plugins (read: Spout, Spoutcraft).
Anyway, it's been a long, long day, so I'm going to hit the hay. Requiem should be working some on the library today, so I hope I wake up to awesome things. Far too much drama of late.
Oh yeah by the way, we have mcMMO now. It's heavily customized; some abilities have been removed (like super mining and giga drill), the "Axes" skill is deactivated because it's OP as all hell, power level regen is gone, and the levelling system has been tweaked a bit.
A few abilities are earth pony only: the repair skill, the "Leaf Blower" ability, and the "Green Thumbs" ability. Unicorns may get party teleport, but they have a lot of astral transportation as it is.
Dear Shadowbolts, if anyone could remember to test out the Spoutcraft client with the MLP models mod, that would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone need anything repaired, I can repair it now for about half the cost of making a new one. Going to try and get some type of shop set up in the near future, but for now just yell at me when I am on if you need an item repaired.
Spout is a server plugin that enables extended scripts, and can do a few nifty things on its own. Any server with Spout installed is considered "Spout-enabled".
Spoutcraft is a whole new Minecraft client that you download and launch instead of Minecraft.exe. This client communicates with Spout-enabled servers in amazingly cool ways, letting us do things previously impossible.
The short of it is, we want Spoutcraft. We really do. It's a great Minecraft client that just works, connects to any server with any version, and lets us do some coolthings.
But the fly mod doesn't work with Spoutcraft. In fact, no fly mods work with Spoutcraft, except server side ones, and we all know how good those are. The absolute best one is a plugin called SpoutFlight, which works similarly to Zombe (and in fact advertises itself as Zombe-like flying), but like all things server side, it's influenced by lag, and the controls feel clunky and unresponsive, especially after the lag-free flying environment provided by Zombe.
For now, the simple fact is that the added content just isn't worth the fly mod downgrade, or the hassle of having to provide the Spoutcraft client to everyone who wants to play on our server and be able to partake in all the added content (which is something we will have to do because installing the pony models on Spoutcraft is a bitch and we were only able to get it to work because ZodaSoda is a stubborn idiot).
Additionally, a few of the plugins I wanted to use were buggy, especially JukeBukkit. To top it off, there was even a performance hit when using the Spoutcraft client in certain conditions.
All that said, using the Spoutcraft client is optional. You can always connect to any Spout-enabled server using the regular client, you just won't be able to see any Spoutcraft-specific content if you do.
So here's what I'll do.
I will add Spout to our server. There are some things it can do even without the client, so it makes sense to have it. There will never be any Spoutcraft-only plugins, but there are some Spoutcraft-only extensions in existing plugins that you may enjoy. For instance, mcMMO has a level bar, and you can see all your party members on-screen as portraits, among other things. Similarly, MagicSpells has an add-on plugin which shows the mana bar on your HUD, useful for Unicorns, and I will install it if there is sufficient interest (n=>1).
Even Pegasi can use Spoutcraft, if you don't mind the significant fly mode downgrade. You can still fly, but it will be handled by SpoutFlight, the server mod, and you will need to use different keys to do so. If, however, you find the HUD worth the trade-off, then by all means go for it.
Everyone will still be able to connect to the server using the regular Minecraft client, and I imagine 98% of you will. If, however, you want to use Spoutcraft, here's what you have to do.
NOTE: Installing the Spoutcraft client does not overwrite or tamper with your regular Minecraft installation. It installs in a separate folder, meaning you can switch between the two clients effortlessly in case you're having any problems with Spoutcraft.
NOTE 2: When running the Spoutcraft installer, it will ask you if you want to update Minecraft. Click on yes. Again, this does not interfere in any way with your regular Minecraft installation, and you can use the latest version of Spoutcraft to connect to our server.
Once Spoutcraft is installed and working, contact me on IRC or through forum PMs so I can send you the Spoutcraft.jar file which has the pony models set up and ready to go. (I do not recommend trying to install it yourself, because all it does is crash the client.) All you will have to do is download the file I send you and overwrite your original Spoutcraft.jar file.
While I have your attention, I would like to ask one thing of you guys. Keep this thread active. I know we all hang out in IRC, Vent, and in-game, and that all screenshots and videos and such are shared instantly with everyone in the community through these platforms, but that does mean that there's hardly any content going into this thread.
Post screenshots, make a video or two with some highlights, show off your home, tell us what you've done. It's great for the community, and it's an incentive for me to keep working on the server when I see people having fun and posting about it.
I myself will be uploading a metric crapton of screenshots soon, pictures from the first few days of the server and all the way up until present day.
In other words, I want to use this thread to chronicle the progression of the server. Please do the same!

1. Screaming in the thread doesn't help.

3. Explaining the situation is significantly more useful for us to help you.
Okay, here's a little tour of what I've done so far. I hope, you like it.
When you follow the sandy path to the south, you'll eventually enter the Forest of Hope + Show Spoiler +
You make your way through the forest and get to a junction + Show Spoiler +
To the left and after some narrow curves, you find my small cottage, in the middle of the forest + Show Spoiler +
As you approach my home
The wood crackles merrily in the fireplace and a chessboard lies on the table. Make yourself comfortable.
If you're hungry, just grab a piece of cake from the kitchen
You're also free to enter the basement. Watch your step.
Do you want to relax or do you feel up to doing some good old craftsmen-work?
You take a peek into the workshop and find some smelting-ovens and workbenches there, along with plenty of supply.
You prefer to relax, don't you? So come on in - the water's just right.
As you return after a really comfortable steam-bath to the living room, an open door next to the stairs peaks your interest. 'Should I really be in here right now?' you ask yourself.
Quickly, you leave the bedroom and venture upstairs.
You open the door to your left and step onto the balcony. A small waterfall enters a pond just below you.
As you walk around the house, you realize that the trees are growing on the rooftop!
You climb the stairs outside and there even seems to be a small garden.
If you either follow the road from my house straight ahead or follow the appropriate sign at the junction, you will find my orchard. Fresh apples just waiting to be picked up. Don't be shy, take as many as you want. They're free. + Show Spoiler +
The entrance to the apple-orchard
A small shed where obviously the gardening tools and fertilizers are kept.

Just noticed that my stone pillar is still there. Forgot to get rid of that. Will hop to it soon enough.
But AgonyofLife <3. I want to thank you for all the times I have taken Apples from your orchards to keep me well fed and healthy during my treks to the great unknowns of Liquestria. And for providing me from shelter during the days where Mobs roamed free in the forest of hope. (you don't know how many times I almost died while doing construction by the shore).

In better news, I'm going to update the OP today with all the relevant class and plugin information that players should know. There's a few new things, and the OP could do with a clean-up anyway.
Also, I think I'll let guests fly, so that they can get around better and not get stuck. Ahh, so much to do, and time is candy.
What on earth Srsishere, I would think none of these folks would steal anything from you wilfully so theres obviously a misunderstanding somewhere, that aint exactly a polite way to react to what is very likely a mistake somewhere along the line.
Alrighty everyone, I finally got around to updating the OP. I added tons of relevant information for each of the classes, and I completely rewrote "Server information and polls", specifically the information in the spoiler that I ask newcomers to read if they want to join us.
Let me know if I'm missing anything or if there's something I should change, and let me know what you think.
Now to give guests the ability to fly. Because I'm a masochist, I think I'll give them the old fly mod we were using before.

To be fair, we did catch at least one person being a thief, the problem has been rectified and is no longer a concern.

It's been a while since I haven't put my hooves on the server, but I can say I came at the right moment.
First I saw Cane, Bloody and all puting ... things ? in Raelcun's face and body... Kinda gross if you want my advice but it was fun thought. But later on came the most interesting part : the arrow/knee challenge.
I've told you guys I've accepted that challenge...

You obviously didn't see the old flight mod, it was terrible
Then we started experimenting with the server commands, well Cane was using me as his test pony to see what the different blocks looked like as helmets. Here are the results.
Going to be posting a few hundred screenshots in this post, so I'm reserving it for page 25. Give me some time to organize them properly. I will be uploading them in batches, and updating this post as I go.
This is how it all began - with StarDragon making a floating wool building.
A teaser for the server, back before we even had a host machine. I was showing off two of the magic spells for Unicorns. This was when the different classes really started taking shape.
The first fly mod is working (if you define "working" extremely loosely). The Great Tree is being prepared.
A few teasing early shots of the world, hours after launch. Then, night turns to day...
Proof: energycore's spiral tower was one of the first constructions on the server. Oh, and that block? That's the town hall.
Requiem's farm in its original place, with Raelcun's unfinished observatory in the background. Also, AndyPK made a square cloud with a tree on it. What the fuck, over?
Zounds' place is coming up, and Sam's Rainbow Cafe is in its original spot next to StarDragon's guillotine. Something is conspicuously missing from the hill in the background.
Sprungjeezy's sky boat hits the build ceiling. Bloodynoob's old farm house can be seen behind the tree.
Jeos' dome is coming in, and in the back, the humble beginnings of Bio's arcane tower.
Camail's Mining Company, the original.
Requiem's farm was the best source of food for the first several hours.
Day one. Less than nine hours in.
Raelcun flew 6,000 blocks with the buggiest fly mod you will ever see to get snow blocks for his observatory.
This was our first splash image. There is no region plugin yet, so monsters could (and did) spawn in everywhere in town, making life interesting for a long time. Torches litter the ground, and the town center is starting to take shape.
Off to take more screenshots!
wurz finds a secluded island and begins work on his own project. He hasn't been in the server for weeks, and we miss him.
Comfy.
The Hole is being dug, and Camail is about to fire up the first lava furnaces on the server.
Aranarth has finished constructing the Community Storage. We still point to it as an example of something that shouldn't work in an online server, but does because our players are awesome.
Camail built the Memorium to the Fallen.
And people wonder why Frek die all the time.
More interesting discoveries.
An early location of Luna's secret stash. Why, yes, that is inside the tree. The secret has since moved.
The Sky Hall is coming in nicely, although it's still in an awkward location.
The finished Town Hall, with the road system finally coming in.
The Memorium to the Fallen was moved to underneath the platform. It remains a fixture to this day.
Ponies, their heads bowed in respectful silence.
And then Frek danced on his own grave.
StarDragon claims another victim.
The platform is finally done. Hearth's Warming Eve is approaching.
I declare page 25 to be Screenshot Central. Please do your hardworking host the favour of posting any screenshots you have, from old stuff from the server's launch to your most recent creations -- even if it's just one or two.
Fuck it I"m doing it, reserving this for final image dump of the cathedral before we start importing it.
I would recommend viewing the imgur album because I'm going to post that on reddit now but I'll put the pictures in here for the lazy but they'll be without the commentary

My bed and workshop area, alot of time spent in here sorting stuff out and smelting after a mining trip, I keep spare buckets of lava in a chest just behind the lava furnace A view from my tiny orchard that I try to keep stocked up with some apples, many thanks to the ponies who use it and keep it fertilised if i'm not around A nice view of the town hall from the top of my home A picture of the underpass, a door leads from my house onto the top of it, or you can go around by the small dock area near the sugarluna fields and walk under it through the small bridge A small ladder to the left as you cross the bridge descends underwater that leads you to my underwater Chillaxation chamber where its quite peaceful just to hang out by myself Go down yet another hatch from my underwater chamber and you will find yourself in a small garden area underground, i'm still working on this and need to work out how to make water flow as i'd like it to, but i thought i'd post it here anyway.
Thank you for looking!
I am not the most ambitious builder but I really enjoying working on my own little land and home, and thanks to my neighbours for being skilled builders and making the surrounding area of my home look really nice!
So i'm a fairly recent addition to the Minecraft fun, and I dont have any screencaps from the good old days. I dont really take on big ambitious projects, I just build small butt cozy buildings. Except my flaming tower of...flames. Which isnt very cozy. Its also why I build my stuff quite a ways from town! Here are some screencaps of my stuff anyway + Show Spoiler +
I have a lot of stone. And I get bored.
I also have crap!
And things that are not stone or crap! Huzzah!
This is my hole. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Super-secret entrance.
My oceanside cottage. Pleased with how this turned out, even if nobody ever sees it!
The Great and Powerful Trixie is not impressed nor does she care to show you hospitality.
My little farm.
I dare you, I double dare you motherbucker to eat this cake
Just an overview shot of my first house that kinda looks like a church but totally isnt from my flaming tower of...flames.
The courtyard by my tower
My apple orchard. Not quite as big as Tee's, but someday!
Apples = love. Take an apple and I will love you forever.
The view from my cottage is...nice.
Secret butt fun
My underground cottage. Now with added LAVAWINDOWS.
So ummm I finally got the block counter to work (endstone makes it error out and not count anything) and uhhh yeah I'll just leave these numbers here....
Okay so a full double chest holds 3456 blocks this means...
I need a little over a full double chest of standstone halfblocks about the same amount of glass almost 2 full chests of wool (mostly blue...) 3 and a half full chests of sandstone 5 and a half full chests of cooked stone 9 full chests of stone brick....
I have the lapis I need, the gold blocks arent a problem either.
I dont even remember using stone slabs but it says I used 15 of them... thats probably a misread on the few places where I have 2 sandstone halfblocks on top of eachother instead of a regular block
The steps are sandstone halfblocks as again it doesnt count that right for some reason. But wow thats a lot of materials I better start digging while I work on finding a good place for it to go.
brb digging up 14 and a half full double chests of cobble and cooking them....
All of my work except for a few buildings on Cham's Skykeep (now too far away for me to care to go to) and a couple areas in my first house that aren't really screenshot worthy.
A safehaven is found! Kindly strangers have provided hospitality for weary pilgrims
Strange waterworks have been built here by obviously pony hands. Note the village in the background. So has a lighthouse Leaving behind civilization... Into the great unknown! Unforntunately, town duties called, so I decided to head back and enter into those strange forests at a later time.
Rael put the finishing touches on this, and it's ready for download. Some changes from the original texture pack:
Iron Armor now looks like the armor of Commander Hurricane
Gold Armor now looks like Celestia's ornaments
Improved wool textures
Bookshelves look less muddy and messy
Stone slabs no longer have the swirly pattern
Ice has been redone
Changed Mycelium blocks to extend the Mycelium texture further down the sides of the block
Ladders aren't orange any more
Clay bricks were toned down
Piston aesthetics
No more scratches on glass / better transparency
Stone brick color was slightly adjusted to go better with other textures
End stone now looks like marble
Everyone who plays on the server should get this, as some of the new changes - especially that of the end stone - are very significant. Besides, it looks genuinely better.
In other news, the 1.1 server is currently uploading and should be done in about an hour or so.
The 1.1 update did some weird stuff to the biomes near town. You'll see it past StarDragon's sky den; it appears to have become a taiga-like biome complete with icy rivers. Thing is, I don't know for sure how to fix this, or if it's even possible.
If anyone has any experience with this, let me know. I'll work on it some tomorrow.

I know why it's happened, but not how to fix it. The 1.1 update changed the code of some of the biomes, changing most of the biomes into new ones. However, this doesn't effect blocks that are already there, so it is only visible with snow biomes either appearing or dissapearing. It should be happening all over the map.

Indeed. The general consensus is that there's no way to fix this - it's a part of core Minecraft and the way it handles seeds. We just got unlucky that there happened to be a snow biome right there, just waiting to appear in 1.1.
Installing mine little pony 1.1 causes the game to not run properly. I get a blank screen after I log in and nothing happens at all >_<. Anyone have any ideas?
Set the entire biome area as a region, remove all snow/ice, and set it to prevent new snow/ice formation. It won't change the actual biome but it will make it function as it did in 1.0, save for which type of tree grows and perhaps a few other minor details.
Note to earth ponies: Lava furnaces you have already constructed are not active even if the sign says so. You must fix the glass position if needed and replace the sign to re-activate them.
Please do NOT add teleporters to the hub without clearance Especially if the target is within eyesight of the hub... ("Cathedral Site") Also, rather than building a new pad (on top of the entryway), claim a pad labelled "UNCLAIMED". I will eventually add another level to it with more pads.

Yeah, no.
It's not your hub. You're just building it, or rather, converting one of your idle projects to this purpose. The Arcane Hub is town centric, and in fact if there is a "WORLD" community project, this is it -- this is everyone's.
I also told you, the whole place needs a redesign anyway, and you agreed, so what do you care? It's all temporary anyway. And the only person to have been adding teleporters up there besides you, as far as I know, is me, and we talked about this in-game, so... what's the problem?
Yeah that was Cane and myself we're working on importing the Cathedral which will be the first actual Megaproject on the server. You put that up and offered it to the community without ever saying that everything should be cleared with you first. We put it up as a temporary thing then found out that it was gone. Maybe if you wanted it to be specifically your project you should specify that.
The reason it was put there was because I will literally be moving 40k+ blocks over there in the next few days and without a teleporter it would take me all of said time just to do that so we put it in your hub instead of randomly in town.
I've temporarily deactivated a couple more things in mcMMO until I can go over them with the Shadowbolts. In the meantime, let me explain the situation and put things up to a vote. I will give my take on it, and if you disagree, then I'll relent. Either way, we'll move things forward based on whatever decision we come to -- but one has to be made.
mcMMO got added to the game for one reason and one reason only: To give Earth Ponies the ability to repair items. It is, quite literally, the only available repair mod that does even remotely what we would want it to do. All the other stuff, including the levelling mechanic of various skills, is at best a bonus and at worst a problem. Having such a system means people might get bored and deface a landscape in order to train excavation, even if there's little benefit in doing so since I've already removed most of the active bonuses.
In fact, here's what isn't in the game at all, and hasn't been since I installed this:
Axes skill (axes one-hit kills absolutely everything at high levels)
Unarmed ability: Berserk (cooldown, increasing duration per level, insta-breaks weaker blocks like grass, dirt, glass)
Excavation ability: Giga Drill Breaker (same as above, also for dirt/grass/etc)
Mining ability: Super Breaker (same as above, for stone/ore blocks)
...and now...
Fishing skill
...because the "Shake" ability, which SHOULD be on a cooldown like everything else, isn't. Stock up on fishing poles and hit creepers for a gunpowder drop every second. My removing of this skill is what caused Bloody to ragequit earlier today (and for that I am sorry, Bloody), but this is game-breaking.
There are problems with each of the skills, too - high chance of double drops for mining in conjunction with fortune 3, random drops of random items for excavation. Unarmed is still useless and is only there to level up your e-peen. Everything takes so long to level that what should have been seen as bonuses for specific classes instead turned out to be a grind.
The only things I don't have a problem with are repair, woodcutting, herbalism, and to a lesser extent (and because I haven't tried it too much), taming. And all but the last are earth pony stuff and were added for them specifically. And even then, I would personally rather give them exclusive rights to these skills and just manually set their skills to master so that they can actually use them as intended. Swords, archery, unarmed, freaking acrobatics, all take forever to level and give tiny bonuses, meaning people just grind them all day instead of building stuff.
Personally, I would rather give earth ponies exclusive rights to mining (for potential double drops, as that was the intent all along), repair, herbalism, woodcutting, and possibly acrobatics (depending on vote), and I would either give them taming, or give everyone taming, or remove it completely. There would be no active skills, only the passive ones acquired from being master in these skills (good repair ability, with a decent chance of preserving enchantment; better mining of ore; higher yield for woodcutting; chance to dodge attacks and not take so much fall damage with acrobatics). All the rest would be gone. I would remove levelling if possible, and (also if possible; not sure) there would be no /mctop.
On the flip side, I want people to have fun. And I realize people find enjoyment in this game from different venues. So for all of my gripes, I'm willing to leave it in if the vast majority of people want to see it. If you want to keep mcMMO as it is, or with minor changes, please tell me why.
Like I said, this concerns you.
I'll be talking about this with the Shadowbolts today (Shadowbolts, consider the signal activated). For now, have a poll.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry for adding this plugin without asking first, and specifying any problems. I did my best to remove the obviously glaring issues with it, but more remain that I couldn't foresee due to my lack of experience with these things. Our server is also unique, thematically, which brought about a host of problems unique to us.
So, sorry for messing up on this one, and for pissing Bloody off in this manner. Shouldn't have happened and it's on my shoulders.
Personally, I have no problems with MCmmo. I enjoy the added things it gives, even if it involves me basejumping off of the portal platform for an hour or two while i watch streams. I personally don't build things 24.7 while on Minecraft, and having something to do that isn't Mining or Crafting (odd, I know) is awesome and adds to the reasons I keep coming back. Now, the broken crap, like what you stated about creepers dropping unlimited gunpowder, yeah, that needs to go.
I don't like giving Earth Ponies all the MCmmo abilites and not any of the other classes. Mining buffs and repair skill is an amazing buff to that class, and I agree. But having only them with the skills in MCmmo is kinda meh to me. I would get over it, of course, it's not that huge of a deal, but It's still something to think about. Just my 2 bits.
Also (Off Topic) - Is there any discussion on buffs to enchanting for unicorns? Magic, after all, is our thing, and I was wondering if there could be any way to make it easier/more unique way to acquire enchantments for Unicorns. EXP farming is kind of silly when we have a framework for magic in the game already =D

Hmm.
What if there was a way to "train" your magic skills by expending mana to cast a spell which simply conjures experience orbs? This shouldn't be that hard to add, and goes towards the studious practice of magic displayed in the show. "Hey look, I made something cool happen, I now know how to do X."

Yeah, that would be a cool thing to add! It would have to be a very small exp drop, like (random number off top of my head) 1/10 of a monster's exp to prevent abuse, but it would be a cool way to encourage use of magic by unicorns

If we give Earth ponies the mmco skills; I Think this would make it a good balance. every spell we cast or just a "magic-xp" spell?

I don't think that doing it for every spell is even possible. I'll take a look at it, but chances are it'll have to be a practice spell of some kind.
If that's what we end up going for, it'll have to be balanced and I'm not entirely sure how to do that yet. Earth ponies do get experience for mining, so maybe I can run a benchmark, see how fast an EP can get levels by simply mining, and try to aim for something similar for this spell.
There's a lot of variables, though, like mana use, spell cooldown, amount of experience, etc. I'm not sure how I would properly simulate the idea of "practicing" your spells with it.

Keep in mind that Earth ponies get other tangible benefits from mining besides the xp, but just casting a practice spell for xp wouldn't give any other benefit (unless you come up with something).
For the record, I'd like to see something having to do with enchantments, like having some enchantments that only Unicorns can do, or having cheaper enchants.

Perhaps instead of having a spell that generates EXP for you (imo that whole idea is a bit silly), how about if Unicorns generate EXP after using any spell. Unicorns are supposed to be in charge of everything magical (Runecrafting, magic, enchanting(?)). It will promote Unicorns to use spells more, which might lead to some interesting uses for some spells.
As for enchanting: While we have conjure to help with Runes and books for magic, enchanting is something we are still limited in, especially since mobs no longer spawn in town and EXP is now hard to get by. In addition, just personally, it feels weird as a unicorn to wield a sword and engage in combat. Getting exclusive enchants feels unfair. Perhaps getting rid of the penalty for knowing which Enchants you are clicking on? (the left click enchant table thingy).
Perhaps it will also promote somekind of economy. Earth ponies can fix tools, unicorns can enchant them really easily, and pegasi....you guys are OP to begin with anyways
Anyways, just me thinking aloud and giving some input. Also, strangely enough, I like the fact that my house is in a snow biome. There is a cool feel to it. Like, I enchanted the place to be snowy or something. IDK.
High Trotgar Institute of Mathematics is done, and I couldn't be happier, I've been working on it since before Christmas I think.
It started out with me talking with Cane about the hill, it used to have a wall of stone built on top of. It hadn't been touched for some weeks so we assumed nobody was going to do something with it and I asked if I could build there. At the time I said it was going to be "A small keep with a garden, the garden being the major part of it". Not exactly that, but it was the idea. It grew over time as you can see.
I leave you with this album and some pictures from it: The view in that last picture is my most favorite thing about the place.

Ok, so what I told WW still applies, we can't get all creative and stuff when talking about the server, we don't have the ability to make mods to suit our needs. What happens is Cane spends an unbelievably long portion of his day finding plugins and mods to see if they can be cool. We get a giant field and we pick cool looking flowers, but we can't do any creating beyond combining the flowers into new ways.
And as a quick note, as much as I'm for an economy, that's not the direction of the server. I've been shot down enough times to be confident in that assessment, but giving tips for services could be viable. It's just adding an economy would take away a large portion of the charitable spirit, and if it didn't then the economy itself would die out.

Unicorns are supposed to be in charge of everything magical (Runecrafting, magic, enchanting(?)). It will promote Unicorns to use spells more, which might lead to some interesting uses for some spells.
As for enchanting: While we have conjure to help with Runes and books for magic, enchanting is something we are still limited in, especially since mobs no longer spawn in town and EXP is now hard to get by. In addition, just personally, it feels weird as a unicorn to wield a sword and engage in combat. Getting exclusive enchants feels unfair. Perhaps getting rid of the penalty for knowing which Enchants you are clicking on? (the left click enchant table thingy).
Perhaps it will also promote somekind of economy. Earth ponies can fix tools, unicorns can enchant them really easily, and pegasi....you guys are OP to begin with anyways
Anyways, just me thinking aloud and giving some input. Also, strangely enough, I like the fact that my house is in a snow biome. There is a cool feel to it. Like, I enchanted the place to be snowy or something. IDK.
Ok, so what I told WW still applies, we can't get all creative and stuff when talking about the server, we don't have the ability to make mods to suit our needs. What happens is Cane spends an unbelievably long portion of his day finding plugins and mods to see if they can be cool. We get a giant field and we pick cool looking flowers, but we can't do any creating beyond combining the flowers into new ways.
And as a quick note, as much as I'm for an economy, that's not the direction of the server. I've been shot down enough times to be confident in that assessment, but giving tips for services could be viable. It's just adding an economy would take away a large portion of the charitable spirit, and if it didn't then the economy itself would die out.
Correct. The fact that we even have classes at all is the result of me spending so much time on it that I customize plugins in my sleep. I can't fart out a code that says "Unicorns can now do X". There has to be a plugin that enables the effect, and if the plugin is bad on its own, I need the possibility of combining it with existing plugins to make use of it.
Since I'm feeling pretty unappreciated these days, I will detail the exact length to which I go for the sake of this project:
For instance, Earth Ponies pick up grass when they dig it. Isn't that a fun little barely noticeable detail?
To make this work, I had to: 1) Make Earth Ponies.
To do this, I had to
Download a server framework to enable mods at all, changing the way a Minecraft server is launched
Download a permissions plugin. If you don't know what that is, congratulations, you can't operate this server
Create five different groups with completely separate configurations
Add people specifically to one of the groups depending on their class
2) Get a suitable plugin
Spend a long time on dev.bukkit.org to find a plugin that changed the way certain blocks drop when harvested, compounded by the fact that I might not know that such a plugin exists, nor what its name would be. (For the record, the reason earth ponies take less fall damage than any other class is because of a plugin called "JackBeNimble", which wasn't even intended specifically for the purpose we use it.)
Download the plugin in question to my local machine
Launch my server
Stop my server
Tweak the configuration file of that plugin to set it to "grass" drops when "grass" is broken, and nothing else
Start my server, and test the plugin
Make sure grass picks up as intended
Make sure nothing else picks up as unintended
Stop my server
3) Install it, and set it up for Earth Ponies
Upload the plugin and configuration file to the server
Configure the permissions in the permissions plugin to ensure that only Earth Ponies were affected by the new plugin
Restart the server
...that was one insignificant detail. You don't want to know what I've had to do to get spells working for only Unicorns (for instance, every spell is customized regarding mana use, length, cooldown, and effect, and every single one has to be added to permissions in the Unicorn group, AND I have to change things in the plugin's config file in order to get permissions to work properly with it), or even flying (customized exact speeds - vertical and horizontal - at which they fly to make it reasonably balanced, enabling it on the server, downloading no less than two server plugins AND setting up one client-side plugin for this one if-it-went-missing-the-whole-idea-would-fall-apart ability).
This is the tip of the iceberg of what I have to do to get things working without any problems. I'm barely doing any coding, but I'm still designing a gaming experience for you guys, complete with classes and abilities. It's not as easy as picking things we want. Really, when I'm working on server stuff, it's no wonder I'm just eternally AFK.
In short, for everything that goes in, there has to be a plugin that allows for it in some way, which I can then set up and preferably customize. That is why I am theorizing the possibility of adding a spell that simply drops experience orbs (because I can make a spell using the magic plugin which uses commands from other plugins to cast spells, and there is a plugin which can spawn in experience orbs on command, which is permissions based -- jackpot), but not the ability to simply add experience gains to all spells, because there is no "ohAndPleaseAlsoDropExperienceOrbs()" effect which I can conveniently add to whatever else it is trying to do. If I wanted that, I would have to talk to the creator of the plugin, who would have to accept the idea and include it in the next version just because our server uses this system.
And EVEN THEN I'm not ruling anything out, but like I said... I will have to take a look.

I'm not at all unappreciative of all the work you are doing, I completely understand it's a shit ton of work, nor do I expect anything like this to be added immediately if it gets added at all. I do, however, have a tendency to make my mind known, but please try to understand that I'm generally just brainstorming, I don't get angry if told no, nor am I looking for instant gratification.

Sorry to everyone who's been enjoying the levelling, but after that majority vote and universal agreement amongst the Shadowbolts, I've decided to change mcMMO and simply use its contents to grant certain static skills. I did specify when I added the plugin that it was only in for a test period, and that period has ended. It's unfortunate that I'm removing something people have been enjoying, but we got some useful stuff out of it.

Having a teleporter is an insult to earth ponies tbh. We should have a ton of lava furnaces and things. How bout a big village with a outer defensive wall in total medieval style C:

There is a lovely place right between Trotgar and Luna's Sky Hall that was up for dibs. It's like this random stone towery thing and I was thinking we could build most of it underground since we're earth ponies.

i like that idea, like a medieval village. would be pretty sweet.
Raelcun found a pretty hilarious bug which pretty much gave us invincible tools that never incurred any durability loss. Long story short, we tracked it down to a plugin and deactivated it.
Unfortunately, that plugin was the one which let Earth Ponies dig grass, and made glass blocks drop when you broke them.
There's another plugin which does the same thing that I will be adding today (which is hopefully bug-free), but I need to set up the configuration for it first in my local server, and make sure it works properly. Until then, earth ponies can't get grass blocks from digging any more, and breaking glass will no longer drop glass blocks, so try to be sure of your glass placement until the new plugin is in place.
Currently the process that allows earth ponies to make mossy cobblestone out of seeds and cobblestone seems to be a little fidgety. At least according to my not very scientific testing.
To start off you simply need to place cobblestone on the ground in front of you, and then you right click the stone with seeds, this should always make a mossy cobble with few seeds consumed. However if you try to do this with multiple cobbleblocks you will run into problems. After you make the first block into mossy cobble and proceed to use the same way of making another stone, something in the plugin will just drain your seeds without actually making the block turn mossy. It doesnt have a very difficult workaround. In order for it to work you need to harvest the first block before attempting to turn the second block mossy. While this isnt gamebreaking it might actually be intended so that farming them isnt super fast and super easy.
Short: The process for making these has to be: Place cobble > use seeds on cobble > harvest mossy cobble > start agan.

Hmm I don't know if it's actually a glitch. It might be on purpose. According to the wiki for the mcMMO plugin (found here: http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/Herbalism ), there's only the chance for creating mossy blocks that way and can actually fail but consumes the seeds as well.

Tee's right, it's not a glitch. There's a 50% chance of turning a cobblestone into mossy cobblestone. If you're unlucky, it can take you several seeds to do even one.
I'll check it out today, but I think you just didn't have a statistically valid sample size in your testing.

It took me 1.5 stacks of seed to fail to make a mossy cobble during my testing earlier today. And 3 after I destroyed the mossy and kept going.
Edit, tried it again, and first stone took 4 seeds (longer than average should take) and the next stone didnt work when I emptied the rest of the stack (60 seeds) into it.
Whoa, this is awesome, Rael! Exactly what I pictured in my mind but couldn't get down on paper.. err... digital paper. You're really amazing when it comes to designing stuff like that so I can't thank you enough. Just uhm... make the eyes brown and I'm even happier

Now that the town library is coming in, I'd like to put some more books in there. So far, I have added three popular fanfics to the bookshelves on the first floor, and you can read them by right clicking on the appropriate bookshelf behind each of the signs. The fics in question are "A Day for Spike and Twilight", "Celestia's Teeth", and "The Circle of Friends".
I've been trying to make sure the books I add to the library are fairly short. Longer books would take longer to add, and they would require multiple bookshelves in the library (one for each chapter) since I would want to split them up like that for a couple of reasons (not the least of which is ease of reading).
If you have any suggestions for good, short writings or fanfics to add, let me know -- either post in the thread, or talk to me in-game. I will be adding more over the coming days.
If you want to help me with this process, here's what you can do:
I can add books to the game fairly easily by copy-pasting them into the server files. However, the text needs to be formatted correctly. Here's a sample from the server file containing the book "Celestia's Teeth":
3 Celestia's Teeth Abalidoth Princess Celestia, goddess of the sun, supreme ruler of Equestria and revered by all ponies, shuffled to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her ever-waving hair was flagging a bit, and since she'd already finished her nightly task of setting the sun, she was looking forward to getting some much-needed sleep. :: Her steward, a dour and matronly white unicorn by the name of Snowy Slopes, stood outside the bathroom door. She had only joined Celestia's staff after her last steward had gotten pregnant and retired to be with her family, a scant few months before. "Your Highness." :: "Snowy. Is there something you need?" :: Snowy shook her head. "No, Your Highness. I just wanted to inform you of a change of personnel in the palace staff. We've had extra money in the coffers lately, and it was decided to hire more servants to help you with day-to-day tasks." :: Celestia cleared her throat. "And I wasn't briefed on this?" :: "That's what I'm doing now, Your Highness." :: "Well, I think there might have been a better time for it. I'll be more than happy to go over the arrangements in the morning, though," Celestia said diplomatically. She took a step towards the bathroom door. :: Snowy Slopes stepped in front of her. "I think you ought to listen to the changes, Your Highness." :: "And I think I ought to be getting to bed." Celestia took one more step towards the door, and Snowy bowed her head and stepped aside.
The first three lines identify the book. The fourth line is the book itself, and is one continuous line, unbroken. Instead of paragraphs, it checks for double colon :: markers to properly display the paragraphs in-game. In short, what I have to do for every fic I want to add is to copy the whole book into a text file, then manually remove and replace every paragraph with :: so that the server knows what to do with it.
This is a tedious process. Thus, if you have a book you really want to see added to the library, it would greatly speed up the process if you could simply format the book like this for me, and send it to me in a PM (or, preferably, pastebin it or something), so that all I have to do is to copy-paste them into the server.
As a heads up, you can use word to automatically do your colon's for minecraft. Here is your proposed fanfic with this accomplished: + Show Spoiler +
Highness. I just wanted to inform you of a change of personnel in the palace staff. We've had extra money in the coffers lately, and it was decided to hire more servants to help you with day-to-day tasks."::Celestia cleared her throat. "And I wasn't briefed on this?"::"That's what I'm doing now, Your Highness."::"Well, I think there might have been a better time for it. I'll be more than happy to go over the arrangements in the morning, though," Celestia said diplomatically. She took a step towards the bathroom door.::Snowy Slopes stepped in front of her. "I think you ought to listen to the changes, Your Highness."::"And I think I ought to be getting to bed." Celestia took one more step towards the door, and Snowy bowed her head and stepped aside.::The door swung open to reveal one very nervous looking unicorn mare, almost a filly still, with a green-and-white mane and a mint green coat. She was holding a toothbrush in one shaking hoof.::Celestia turned her head slowly to face Snowy Slopes, who was attempting to back out of the room as quickly as she could. "And who is this?" she asked gently.::"This... this is Minty Fresh," the steward said. "Her special talent is dental hygiene, and she's going to... ah... she's going to be your tooth cleaner. Your Highness."::"You hired somepony to brush my teeth."::"Yes, your Highness."::Celestia rubbed her forelock with one hoof. "Well, I don't begrudge you hiring new ponies, but I'd really rather brush my own teeth. Can you... I don't know, give her a different job around the palace?"::Snowy Slopes shook her head, looking increasingly uncomfortable. "The anti-featherbedding provisions that you ruled on last month state that when a pony is employed by the Crown, she is required to do the job that her contract states in order to get pay. The only way to keep her from brushing your teeth, by law, is to fire her."::Celestia looked back at the terrified young mare in the bathroom, who looked like she was trying to blend back into the marble countertop to avoid the princess's notice, and then back to Snowy. "Is this because I have a problem with bad breath?" she asked. She puffed a single breath into her hoof, then inhaled through her nose. "I don't smell anyth..."::Snowy Slopes gasped. "No! No, Your Highness, nothing is wrong."::"...are you sure?"::As soon as she asked the question, she wished she hadn't. Snowy Slopes backed away from her down the hall, gibbering. "No Your Highness your breath is roses and sunshine always your gums are a credit to the great nation of Equestria I will see you in the morning your highness sleep well goodnight!" With that, she turned tail and ran back down the hallway to her own quarters.::Celestia sighed and entered the restroom. She flashed a smile at Minty Fresh, who let out a small yelp and shrank back.::"Well? Aren't you going to get started?"::Minty Fresh raised her toothbrush shakily. "Could you... could you please open your mouth, Your Highness?"::Celestia opened her mouth reluctantly. Minty Fresh approached her with the toothbrush and began to slowly brush the princess's front teeth. She was so gentle, afraid of what would happen if she irritated the most powerful set of gums in the land, that she barely cleaned the surface. Once, she poked the princess a little too hard, eliciting a slight wince of discomfort. This in turn drove Minty Fresh to a fresh round of apologizing and even softer, more ineffective brushing.::All told, it took nearly half an hour for Celestia's teeth to be cleaned to her satisfaction. As she finished the rest of her evening preparations and sank into bed, Celestia fumed.::Something had to be done.::xxx::"Your Highness, what are you doing?"::Celestia looked up from her place at the secluded royal breakfast table."What does it look like I'm doing, Snowy? I'm eating breakfast."::"You're eating pasta."::"Garlic and basil pasta, to be exact." Celestia lifted another forkful to her mouth with her magic, slurping up a few stray noodles that came loose. "With extra garlic. Would you like some?"::"No, thank you, Your Highness. What are you doing eating pasta in the morning?"::"Perhaps I simply had a craving." Celestia took another bite, savoring the intense flavor. To be honest, she was enjoying this. Savory foods weren't usually her choice at breakfast, but this time she was on a mission. Besides, her personal chef was excellent at any time of the day.::"A craving, Your Highness? Should I be concerned?" The steward certainly didn't look concerned – exasperated was probably the word Celestia would have used – but she seemed obligated to ask anyway.::"Hm. Perhaps I'm pregnant. Now wouldn't that be a scandal for the news rags – the Princess of the Sun is with foal. I wonder which of my suitors would be the father?"::"You don't have any suitors, Your Highness."::"Maybe I should get some." Celestia took another bite, still appreciating what magic could be woven with such robust ingredients. "That would explain the cravings, in any case..."::"Your Highness, what is this really about?"::"I'm just hungry for pasta. Why, Snowy Slopes, are you worried that it will make my breath smell bad?"::Snowy set her jaw. "No, Your Highness. Your breath is, as always, a credit to the Crown and the nation."::"Tell me honestly." Celestia leaned as close to the steward as the table would allow. "Should I go to Minty Fresh, now, and have my teeth cleaned before I meet with any officiants?"::"...No, Your Highness. Everything is fine."::"Hm." Celestia chewed thoughtfully. She had hoped Snowy would crack under this initial pressure, but she had more than one trick under her wings. "Well, then. What's the agenda for today?"::"We have a lunch meeting with the mayor of Bridlevale about some trade agreements, and a meeting of the Palace Council over dinner to discuss the recent personnel changes."::"Ah. It's good that you consulted me before actually making the changes."::"No offense, Your Highness, but payroll was due by the end of last week and you were busy with other things."::"No, no, it's no problem." Celestia chewed on a small piece of pasta as she thought. "So I have two engagements today? Both over meals?"::"That's right, Your Highness."::"Hmm. Well, I'd best prepare, don't you think?" Celestia finished her bowl and pushed the bench back from the table. "After all, it's going to be a big day. Now, which way were the kitchens..."::xxx::The Mayor of Bridlevale was a sour-looking old stallion, the kind of pony who naturally finds himself drawn to bureaucracy. He was of somber coloration – brown coat, somewhat darker brown mane cropped in a conservative style – and his cutie mark was obscured by his formal attire. He sat at the end of Celestia's banquet table, surrounded by a few members of his city council, muttering ominously amongst themselves.::By the time Celestia herself came to the table, already in attendance were her economic advisor Gold Coin, her political advisor Morningtide, and Luna, who had woken up specially for the occasion and still looked a bit groggy.::"Good day," Celestia said with false cheer. The Mayor of Bridlevale was usually a tricky customer, and never seemed particularly friendly. Celestia always had a way of making others act reasonable – being about two heads taller than everyone else tended to do that – but the Mayor was generally immune to her particular charms.::"Good day," the Mayor mumbled. "Now, your Highness, what's all this about lowering hay subsidies in the Bridlevale area?"::"It's been a bumper crop year," Celestia explained. She made it a point of pride not to lie to her subjects, even if her advisors would have preferred she be a little more political. Gold Coin, in particular, massaged his temple with one hoof, knowing the full unleashing of sensitive economic information that was to come.::"But part of that bumper crop has been coming from my town!" He frowned. "What am I supposed to tell my local farmers? They should produce less if they want to get Crown bits?"::Celestia and Gold Coin stared at the mayor in confusion. "That's... that's not how subsidy cuts work," Celestia finally managed. "It just means we're buying Bridlevale hay at a fixed price, but since the price is low this year anyway, we're buying less of it."::"Your Highness, you're not foaling anypony here!" The mayor slammed his hoof on the table and reared up to his full, not particularly impressive height. "My local farmers are being cheated out of -"::The doors from the dining room to the kitchen burst open, and Snowy Slopes, dressed in her best "visitor garb," stepped through. "Lunch is served!"::Celestia leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief while the silver-domed trays were brought through the door and arranged artfully around the table.::"For a starter, we are serving watercress and mint salad," Snowy began. "Specially picked to be light and mild, with a positive effect on the breath."::The princess smiled at that; it seemed like Snowy was trying to outmaneuver her. She would quickly find out, though, that a thousand years of experience gave a pony marvelous ability at subterfuge. Celestia cleared her throat and tapped on her glass.::Snowy turned to her liege with a wary eye. "Your Highness? Do you have something to add?"::"Well, I just thought that since the Mayor and his staff are two days' journey from home, they might feel a little out of sorts here in Canterlot. As such, I've asked the chef to prepare an appetizer with a little more rural character."::The servants apprehensively removed the silver domes from the platters. Underneath each was a wheel of white cheese with a greenish, spotty rind, surrounded by different kinds of crackers.::Snowy, Gold Coin, Morningtide, and the servants stared in confusion. Luna just raised an eyebrow. But the delegation from Bridlevale had a much more pronounced reaction.::"Bridlevale Blue!" The mayor nearly jumped out of his seat in excitement. "I have to say, Your Highness, I had no idea you had such taste in cheese! Did you know, my wife's ancestors were the first cheesemakers to make Bridlevale Blue?"::"I had no idea!" Celestia lied cheerfully. "I've been looking forward to trying it myself." The servers were at a loss as to how to introduce the meal, so they began silently cutting wedges off of the wheel.::As soon as the first piece was cut, a pungent aroma filled the room. The server with the knife jumped back as if struck, and Snowy's eyes began to water. The mayor was, if anything, only more excited. "That's real Bridlevale cheese, all right!"::The smell only intensified as the wheels were further segmented. Celestia wasn't sure how the chef had managed to come by five wheels of a relatively obscure, locally produced aromatic cheese, but her chef was a pegasus pony who, in his youth, had run with a band of griffin smugglers. He always had a tendency to...acquire...certain things, and seemed to enjoy taking unusual requests from Celestia.::The entire Bridlevale contingent tapped their hooves on the table impatiently as the cheese was served on their end. Not even the impropriety of eating before the Princess could stem their enthusiasm, and they tucked in to the smelly appetizer with gusto. Celestia's side of the delegation was less certain, and Morningtide in particular seemed distressed by the turn of events.::Celestia was a little worried, herself. Still, she had eaten plenty of unpalatable "delicacies" in the name of good diplomacy – the fried candy bars from Cloudsdale came to mind – but at least this was a tradition with a good number of years behind it.::Celestia was just about to bite into a cheese-topped cracker when Snowy interrupted her. "Your Highness, wait!"::The cracker, enveloped in the purple haze of Celestia's magic, floated downwards a bit. "Yes, Snowy? You don't think this would affect my breath any, do you?"::Snowy Slopes froze up. "No, Your Highness."::The mayor paused in between bites. "Yer Highness," he said, a bit of his rural accent beginning to creep into his voice, "the breath's just part of it! Why do you think it was a Bridlevalean who invented chewin' gum? We got a statue of 'er, right in the town square, right next to the one of my great-great-great-great-great-grandpa-in-law!"::"Well, I'm sure that won't be a problem. My staff has informed me that I'm immune to halitosis." She shot Snowy a look. Snowy said nothing, so Celestia bit down into the cracker.::To say that Bridlevale Blue tasted better than it smelled would be an understatement. In fact, the highly aromatic cheese was some of the best Celestia had had in her thousand-plus years of Equestrian leadership. It was creamy and flowed like butter over her tongue, enveloping her in a nutty, smooth cheese flavor.::As she chewed thoughtfully, she thought about the state of her plans. Snowy was still obstinate about the tooth brushing but getting closer to her breaking point; and the once standoffish mayor was chattering about replacing some of the subsidies with a Bridlevale-Canterlot cultural exchange program – cheese tastings, to be precise. Two birds, one stone.::Oh, and there was also the delicious cheese – make that three birds.::xxx::"What are you up to, Celly?"::Luna's voice snapped Celestia out of her smugly victorious reverie. She had been returning to her chambers to rest before the coming meeting and hadn't expected that Luna would be coming the other direction. "Nothing, dear sister. Why do you ask?"::The purple alicorn fluttered her wings a bit and stalked closer to Celestia. "And you didn't override the chefs and serving staff for a little political leverage over the Mayor?"::"Well, I may have done that. Just a little."::"But what I can't figure out is why you're antagonizing your steward. Is this about our new dental specialists?"::Celestia sighed. "Luna, you always were able to discern my – wait, did you say our?"::"You didn't think they'd hire somepony to take care of your teeth without doing the same for me? We are, theoretically, the co-rulers of Equestria."::Celestia nickered at that. "I suppose I was just hoping they'd leave you alone. Hmm, I'll need to change my plans..."::"Really, Celly, it's fine." Luna sidled up to her sister and nuzzled her on the cheek. "I appreciate your efforts in keeping me out of the public eye – and the attentions of the servants – but sometimes I don't mind being fawned over a little bit. After a thousand years on the moon, it's...nice."::"I just wish they'd consult with me before treating me like..." Celestia blinked at what she was about to say. "Well, like royalty. Which makes sense, but..."::"You don't understand why they're doing it, do you?"::"No. I can honestly say that I don't."::"They're afraid, Celestia. They're doing it because they're afraid."::"Why, though? I've given them no reason to be afraid of me!" Celestia stamped one hoof on the inlaid marble floor. "I set up the Council and the High Court to work towards a rule by all ponies. I hear petitions until my ears are about to fall off, granting almost every request. I do everything I can to encourage constructive dissent of my policies. Why do they still treat me like I'll become some horrendous tyrant at the slightest discomfort?"::"Because they're not afraid of you. They're afraid of losing you." Luna walked over to one of the windows of the bedchamber hall, where the sun was just barely visible at the apex of the sky. "During the Summer Sun Celebration, when I kidnapped you..."::Celestia saw the darkness growing in her sister's eyes, and crossed the hall to face her directly. "When Nightmare Moon kidnapped me. Luna, you know I would no more blame you for that than stall the sun's progress myself."::"When Nightmare Moon kidnapped you," Luna continued, "ponies were missing more than just the warmth of the sun. They missed their luminary, their beloved leader. You're the heart of Equestria, and you were even before my...before Nightmare Moon's rise. They've started treating you more delicately because those few hours showed them just how much they had to lose. It showed them how much they took you for granted, Celestia."::Celestia thought back over the year or so since her student and her friends had taken the mantle of the Elements of Harmony. Her staff was, increasingly, shielding her from public events that could not be sufficiently secured. Her personal guard had more than doubled, on the express command of her Captain of the Guard. Her personal physician seemed exceptionally keen to keep an eye on her health, despite the fact that she had gotten sick maybe five times in the past thousand years. "They're...protecting me." She nodded. "On some level, I already knew that. But it doesn't make it any easier for me to take. I'm no more fragile than I was a year ago, or five hundred years ago."::"So let them know that. Play your little schemes." Luna smiled. "You always were one for harmless tricks. Father would have been proud of how you mixed a prank with a bureaucratic measure today."::"That was more lucky coincidence than anything. The diplomacy was planned in advance; the prank just worked into it."::"Still. Don't get anypony hurt. Everypony's on your side, big sister, but not all are as keen to your methods as I. Good day – I'll see you at twilight."::As Luna turned away to her own rest chamber, Celestia said "Thank you, Luna. How did I manage so long without you?"::Luna turned back, just for a second. "The same way you always dealt with pain. You worked harder."::Celestia, uncharacteristically pensive, waited and thought for a while before retiring to her own chamber.::xxx::The inner meeting hall of Canterlot Palace was a much simpler affair than the sumptuous dining room where Celestia had met with the mayor of Bridlevale. This was furnished more like an office, although an expensive one, with a table grown from rare trees in the Everfree Forest. Celestia sat at the head of the table, with her Council of Advisors around her; all exceptionally competent ponies who had been selected because they were better at their jobs than almost anypony in Equestria.::"And now we can move on to the majority of our discussion today." Snowy Slopes pushed aside a small stack of papers and pulled a larger stack in front of her. "As I'm sure you've all noticed, there's been an increase in palace staff, spurred by a few labor regulations that Her Highness helped pass through the Legislature. Some of the increase has been to areas that already exist, but are somewhat understaffed; the rest are new positions created to fill a need."::The princess hummed to herself as she followed along. It wasn't strictly required for her to attend these meetings, but she tried to do so every week anyway. Still, there wasn't usually much for her to do. One of the side effects of retaining the most competent ponies was that they tended to get things done without one's help.::"I'm just going to go through the list of personnel changes; if you have any questions, stop me." Snowy peered down at the paper before her, cleared her throat, and began to read. "Gardeners. We're adding four gardeners to the back gardens and nine to the front; there's going to be some alterations to the shift schedule..."::The meeting went on in that vein for about an hour. Celestia listened with one ear, biding her time and waiting for her cue. All of the palace goings-on were important to her, of course, but she could catch the important points of the meeting without knowing whether the fourth of seven extra banquet chefs should have a flex schedule.::Finally, there was a knock at the door. "Ah, that must be dinner." Snowy stood as the doors swung open and servers came in with silver-domed platters. "We're serving a light dinner; watercress-and-mint salad with shaved apple. We have had a few...intrusions...with food tampering in the kitchen, so we've told the chefs not to let anypony in."::Celestia chuckled to herself. Snowy thought she was being clever, but she should have known that Celestia never used the same tactic twice in a row. She waited patiently while the salad (which, she did have to admit, was one of her favorites) was served.::"Excuse me," she began when all of the serving ponies were out of the room. "But I've been having some odd cravings recently. I hope you'll indulge me if I brought a snack?"::Snowy's eyes opened in apprehensive horror, but everypony else in the room was just confused. Celestia used her telekinesis to open one of the cabinets in the room and remove a large burlap sack. She floated it across the room, pausing for emphasis, and dropped it on the table with a heavy thud.::The lip of the burlap sack tipped over, and four bright yellow onions fell out. The rest of the councilors' faces matched Snowy's as Celestia floated one up to her lips and bit down hard. The CRUNCH reverberated around the room. "But don't let me interrupt."::Snowy closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to steady herself. "Very well, your" CRUNCH "Highness, it doesn't" munch "really matter one" munch "way or another."::"Mmph. Good to hear, Snowy.

Snowy blinked tears out of her eyes. The vapors from Celestia's snack had fully filled the room, and everypony but the sun goddess had bloodshot, teary eyes. "Yes, that is, it's a bit noisy. I wouldn't want to interrupt your... dinner, but...?"::Celestia closed her eyes demurely. "I apologize for interrupting, Snowy. Do go on."::"Thank you, Your Highness. As I was saying," munch "the holiday schedule" munch "requires a change" crunch "in the menu," munch "which will..." The underside of Snowy Slopes' eye twitched.::"...will what?" asked Gold Coin.::"...will have no onions. Or garlic. Or rancid cheese, as diplomatically appropriate as it might be. It will, in fact, have no food that our beloved Princess could use to turn her breath into a trainwreck of horrific odors. The same beloved Princess who is currently throwing a temper tantrum because I was trying to spare her feelings by delegating her dental hygiene elsewhere. The same beloved Princess who has always had a minor case of halitosis, especially in the mornings and during the summer. The same beloved Princess with the stressful job of raising and lowering the Sun every day, and as such is entitled to a little pampering. The same beloved Princess who has driven me, over the course of a single day, to rethink ever taking this position."::Celestia chucked her onion behind her head and began to dig into the watercress-and-mint salad as fast as she could shovel it into her mouth. "Please don't quit, Snowy," she said between bites. "I need you. You're one of the best stewards I've had in a thousand years. I just wanted to drive home the point that I'm no more fragile than I was before the Summer Sun Celebration. If anything, I'm stronger now that Luna has returned to take care of the nights. You were too stubborn to just listen, though."::Snowy slopes bowed her head and turned towards the door. "I am sorry, Princess. I'll leave you now."::"No, no, no. Don't apologize. Your stubbornness is part of what makes you such a good steward. It's just that... well, I have flaws. I have bad breath sometimes, a tendency to micromanage, and I'm fairly bad at managing money. I'm certain that that's not the full extent of it, and that is why I need ponies like you around me. In fact, why don't you tell me a flaw that I didn't list?"::Snowy Slopes' clear blue eyes locked on to Celestia's, and new resolve flashed through them. "You have awful taste in interior decoration, Your Highness."::"...Is that why you insisted on a renovation when you took the job? And arranged for it to happen when I was in Fillydelphia dealing with that parasprite infestation?"::"That's exactly right, Your Highness."::Celestia chuckled. "You're a lot more subtle than I gave you credit for, Snowy. I can tell that I'm going to have to call on my thousand-plus years of experience to outmaneuver you."::"Or you could just let me work in your best interests, Your Highness."::The princess sat back on her haunches with a radiant smile. "What would be the fun in that?"::xxx:rincess Celestia, goddess of the sun, supreme ruler of Equestria and revered by all ponies, trotted happily towards the bathroom to brush her teeth. She always felt more invigorated when she'd had a prank-filled day. Also, she'd hopefully convinced Snowy not to dote on her so much, giving her a great deal of freedom in the days to come. Celestia had been feeling so good that she had worked together with Luna to make an unusually beautiful sunset, something that she had missed doing when Luna was on the moon.::It was only when she opened the bathroom door to the sound of soft sobs that she realized she had forgotten something.::Minty Fresh sat there with a tube of toothpaste in one hoof and a toothbrush in another, slumped against the wall in utter dejection. Her green-and-white mane was in complete disarray, and her eyes were red from tears.::Luna's words from earlier that day went through Celestia's mind. Don't get anypony hurt. Everypony's on your side, big sister. "Are you alright?" she asked.::Minty apparently hadn't noticed the Princess come in, and she startled so hard that the toothpaste tube went flying toward the bathtub. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Your Highness! It will never happen again! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"::"...what, exactly, did you do wrong?"::Celestia had meant her question as a genuine inquiry, but Minty looked chastised, as if it had been a schoolmare-ish And what have you learned from all this? "I don't know, Your Highness, but once I find out it will never happen again!"::"You don't know what you did wrong, but you still think you did something wrong? What would give you that idea?"::Minty swallowed back another sob. "I was following your eating choices all day, to better gauge what kind of oral care you need, and... and... you're trying to punish me! To make your breath so bad that I would quit!"::Celestia shook her head. You were right again, sis. "I was upset that they appointed you to do something that I can easily do myself. It has nothing to do with you personally; you actually did a fine job of brushing my teeth this morning."::Minty sniffed a couple of times, but her sobs seemed to have stopped. She looked up at Celestia expectantly.::"And besides, a pony with your expertise probably has better ways to serve the realm."::"I... I suppose, Your Highness. Are you certain you're not unhappy with me?"::"Actually..." Celestia thought for a bit. All day, Minty had been following her around, gauging her food choices to tailor her oral care routine. For a mare that was hired solely to hold a toothbrush, that was far above and beyond the call of duty. Minty Fresh really did have better ways to serve the realm. "Actually, you are hereby fired from your position of service under the Crown."::Minty's disheveled mane fell flat, and she bowed her head. "Your Highness, I'm..."::"However, it just so happens that I'm in need of an... informant within the Canterlot College of Dentistry. Somepony that I can trust. Somepony with a special talent in oral healthcare, with a keen mind for medicine. Do you know anypony like that?"::"Well, Your Highness, I have a sister in Ponyville who..." Minty blinked. "Oh. You were talking about me."::"Indeed I was. Do you think you could handle the position?"::"Well, I was already on the College Council when I was hired for this, so probably."::And you hired her to brush my teeth? We need to have a talk, Snowy Slopes. "Fantastic. Come in during petitioning tomorrow; I'll see to it that you get fast-tracked to the front of the line."::"Pardon the forwardness, Your Highness, but when you say 'informant' do you mean 'spy'?"::"Not quite. I need somepony who will report on the actual goings-on, without political bias or undue loyalty to the Council. You'll answer directly to me. I have various agents like you in different academic and nongovernmental bodies all around Equestria, who give me the inside story with no sugarcoating."::"I'm a dentist, Your Highness. Sugarcoating is my mortal enemy."::Celestia chuckled. "Quite. In any case, sleep well and we'll speak in the morning."::Minty slowly made her way to the door, knees shaking with relief and excitement. However, when she had barely made it into the hallway, she turned back to face the Princess. "Tea tree oil."::Celestia was in the process of fetching her toothpaste from the bathtub ledge and wasn't fully paying attention. "Pardon?"::"Tea tree oil. It's a remedy for minor chronic halitosis. Mint will just cover the smell up, but a mouthwash of water and tea tree oil will help eliminate it entirely."::"I think I'll give it a shot. Thank you, Minty Fresh."::"You're welcome, Princess Celestia." The young mare made her way out of the hallway, leaving Celestia alone in silence.::My Faithful Student:::You haven't sent me a letter in a while, so I assume everything is quiet in Ponyville. In light of that, I thought I would pass along a few lessons about friendship from a recent experience of mine.::The first is a lesson I had to teach, and it is this: your friends are not always as fragile as you think they are. Sometimes, even when you think you're doing them a favor, or sparing their feelings, they'd really rather stand on their own four hooves.::The second is a lesson I had to learn, and it is the reverse of the other. Your friends are not always as strong as you think they are, either. It's important to remember that something you think is harmless might genuinely ruin somepony's day.::Oh, and one more thing. I've found a solution for Spike's little problem. Next time you see your zebra friend, ask her where you can find some tea tree oil.::Warmly,:rincess Celestia::::
On February 07 2012 13:58 Aylear wrote: Editors wanted!
Now that the town library is coming in, I'd like to put some more books in there. So far, I have added three popular fanfics to the bookshelves on the first floor, and you can read them by right clicking on the appropriate bookshelf behind each of the signs. The fics in question are "A Day for Spike and Twilight", "Celestia's Teeth", and "The Circle of Friends".
I've been trying to make sure the books I add to the library are fairly short. Longer books would take longer to add, and they would require multiple bookshelves in the library (one for each chapter) since I would want to split them up like that for a couple of reasons (not the least of which is ease of reading).
If you have any suggestions for good, short writings or fanfics to add, let me know -- either post in the thread, or talk to me in-game. I will be adding more over the coming days.
If you want to help me with this process, here's what you can do:
I can add books to the game fairly easily by copy-pasting them into the server files. However, the text needs to be formatted correctly. Here's a sample from the server file containing the book "Celestia's Teeth":
3 Celestia's Teeth Abalidoth Princess Celestia, goddess of the sun, supreme ruler of Equestria and revered by all ponies, shuffled to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her ever-waving hair was flagging a bit, and since she'd already finished her nightly task of setting the sun, she was looking forward to getting some much-needed sleep. :: Her steward, a dour and matronly white unicorn by the name of Snowy Slopes, stood outside the bathroom door. She had only joined Celestia's staff after her last steward had gotten pregnant and retired to be with her family, a scant few months before. "Your Highness." :: "Snowy. Is there something you need?" :: Snowy shook her head. "No, Your Highness. I just wanted to inform you of a change of personnel in the palace staff. We've had extra money in the coffers lately, and it was decided to hire more servants to help you with day-to-day tasks." :: Celestia cleared her throat. "And I wasn't briefed on this?" :: "That's what I'm doing now, Your Highness." :: "Well, I think there might have been a better time for it. I'll be more than happy to go over the arrangements in the morning, though," Celestia said diplomatically. She took a step towards the bathroom door. :: Snowy Slopes stepped in front of her. "I think you ought to listen to the changes, Your Highness." :: "And I think I ought to be getting to bed." Celestia took one more step towards the door, and Snowy bowed her head and stepped aside.
The first three lines identify the book. The fourth line is the book itself, and is one continuous line, unbroken. Instead of paragraphs, it checks for double colon :: markers to properly display the paragraphs in-game. In short, what I have to do for every fic I want to add is to copy the whole book into a text file, then manually remove and replace every paragraph with :: so that the server knows what to do with it.
This is a tedious process. Thus, if you have a book you really want to see added to the library, it would greatly speed up the process if you could simply format the book like this for me, and send it to me in a PM (or, preferably, pastebin it or something), so that all I have to do is to copy-paste them into the server.
I could whip up some perl/awk goodness to do that automatically, given some constraints on the input (single line break = just move on, double line break = paragraph, or something?).
It has been three weeks since I joined the server. So I thought I'd update with some pictures that you can view *here*
Unfortunately I didn't think about taking screenshots in my early days here. My projects and intentions about the house at that time were...many and varied. I believe Cane can attest to this, and perhaps Camail, Bio, TimeLordPony and my other neighbours as well? If any of you have images of my house by happy accident, I'd be very glad if you could share it.
I also went to check out High Trotgar - it looks AMAZING! I lol'd a bit when visiting the pit of fears and the lavatories.
I had to remove a grass/glass drop plugin the other day due to a pretty significant bug. Unfortunately, the replacement plugin I've been working on setting up is having some issues with the latest version of the server. I'm hoping there will be a stable release in a couple of days, as the developer is currently running through some buggy beta tests.
Additionally, I got tired of not being able to place trapdoors (among other things) on glowstones, so I downloaded a plugin which changed their nature back to "stone" type from the current "glass" type. The plugin is slightly buggy, however, and breaking glowstones with anything but a pick will cause the glowstone to "lag", then disappear without dropping the glowstone dust. This is a known bug which is being worked on. Until I work on it tomorrow, just be mindful, and always break them with pickaxes.
As always, report any further problems to your faithful host.

This kind of stuff makes all the work worthwhile. ♥ Thank you.
You made High Trotgar, though -- I'm still playing catch-up!
I redesigned the portal/teleporter area in town significantly (don't worry, I backed up the original just in case). Cam, go take a look at it. You did the original platform design (which paved the way for everything on the god damned server being even-numbered) and I'd like your input on the new combined platform. Also, if we rotate The Hole 180 degrees, then the back side of the new platform area (behind the stairs) could make for a really badass entrance for it. Thoughts?
I'll do the Arcane Hub tomorrow. I just don't feel like starting a new project tonight.
The following spells now give a small bit of experience when cast:
Confusion
Conjure
Haste
Mark
Taunt
Safefall
New Unicorn item enchantments
Edgemaster
Fire Brand
Rapier
Longbow
Bow of the Galadhrim
Lunar Armor
Excavator
Camail's Pickaxe
The Potmilk
Fortune
The new toys
Unicorns have three new spells to work with. The first, "Study", is used in conjunction with enchanting and will be explained later. The "Food" spell fills a small portion of their hunger bar, and "Snowball" launches a big spread of snowballs to slow and hurt their enemies.
Unicorns have also become a lot stronger at enchanting than their counterparts. They now have access to several unique and powerful enchantment combinations, available using EasyEnchant. A few of these unique enchantments provides access to higher level enchants than can be acquired through normal EasyEnchant use, and they are cheaper per enchantment type/power than individual enchants.
Here is a list of enchantment combinations and their effects:
Edgemaster Sword - Sharpness IV
/ee combo edgemaster
Level cost: 35
Fire Brand Sword - Sharpness I - Fire Aspect II
/ee combo firebrand
Level cost: 35
Rapier Sword - Sharpness I - Bane of Arthropods I - Smite I
/ee combo rapier
Level cost: 25
Longbow Bow - Power III
/ee combo longbow
Level cost: 20
Bow of the Galadhrim Bow - Power II - Flame - Infinity
/ee combo bowofthegaladhrim
Level cost: 40
Lunar Armor Armor Piece - Protection I - Fire Protection I - Blast Protection I - Projectile Protection I
/ee combo lunararmor
Level cost: 50
Excavator Tool - Unbreaking I - Efficiency IV
/ee combo excavator
Level cost: 35
Camail's Pickaxe Tool - Unbreaking II - Fortune II
/ee combo camailspickaxe
Level cost: 40
The Potmilk Tool - Efficiency II - Unbreaking I - Fortune II
/ee combo thepotmilk
Level cost: 40
The Stove Tool - Silk Touch I - Efficiency I - Unbreaking I - Fortune I
/ee combo thestove
Level cost: 35
Fortune Tool - Fortune II
/ee combo fortune
Level cost: 25
(Other classes can still use EasyEnchant as normal, but they do not have access to enchantment combinations.)
To aid in their enchanting abilities, Unicorns can now gain levels more quickly than their counterparts. A few of their existing spells now give a small bit of experience when cast, and they have been given a new practice spell called "study". In studying their magic, Unicorns gain experience points very quickly, which can be applied to enchanting.
Unicorn abilities are almost exclusively active, and as such they are a bitch to balance. As with spell costs, spell power, mana regeneration rate, and pretty much everything else under the sun, I'm sure these numbers will change over the next week or so as Unicorns learn to apply their new tools. Some things are sure to be OP, some hardly used. Consider this a first draft.
To that end, I would greatly appreciate feedback from everyone about this update, especially from Unicorns who experiment with these things. Tell me your findings, from your first impressions to rigorous week-long testing. I want to make sure it's at least reasonably well implemented.
Everyone: If you have any ideas for further enchantment combinations with awesome names, let me know.
Also, big thanks to pettter who sliced up some java code so that I could implement experience gains for spellcasting without it spamming the chat!
As always, please report any problems to your faithful host. Happy gaming!
And with the new unicorn update, the library's Enchanting service is now open. In Scintillia's office on the first floor, you'll find a single chest. Anything you wish enchanted should be put into that chest along with a mail sent to me (scintilliaSD) with whatever enchantment you want on it. I will reply to your mail when it's ready, and you can come pick it up from the chest.
I figure it's time I actually do something for the server instead of being a leech and getting things (such as a library) for free.

I'm not sure if that would fit with the library. If there were possibly a way we could turn it into a garden for various alchemical components, that'd be great. I'm not sure if that's feasible though.

Okay the community storage thing generally works pretty well but some of our newer people don't seem to get the idea. The point is we're not an economy server when you have extras of an item you put them in storage. When you need something you check storage before you ask around, most likely if it's not in storage you have to go farm it yourself.
That being said, if you need A LOT of wood don't empty the wood chest leave some for others, sure you can grab a few stacks to ease the burden but leave some for other people who come along 5 minutes later looking for wood. This translates to the rest of the materials, this is there to be helpful not to make it so you never have to gather anything yourself.
BREAKING NEWS : Constructions are about to get awesome ! (but you have to wait until the next patch):
Hello!
Jon and I have been working on a new map format for Minecraft that we’ve dubbed “Anvil” (it’s just a name). The purpose of the new format is to prepare for modding, especially to allow for more block types, but also to improve other areas of the game (such as map height). The changes are:
Maximum build height has been increased to 256 (was 128) Empty sections of the world are not loaded into memory Block ids have been increased to 4096 (was 256) by adding a 4 bit data layer (similar to how meta data is stored) Block ordering have been changed from x/z/y to y/z/x in order to improve compression Packets for sending chunks have been updated (a full 128-high chunk is smaller than the old format, and a chunk with lots of empty space is much smaller) Biomes are saved per x/z column, which means they can be altered by tools The next snapshot, and Minecraft 1.2, will automatically convert worlds to the new format. The files of the current format (“McRegion”) will remain in your save folder, if you need to restore them for some reason.
I’ve prepared a converter (with source code) for tool makers that wants to be prepared. You do not need to use this to convert your maps! It’s only for reference!
Download the converter+source here
Some info:
The 16x128x16 “Blocks”, “Data”, “SkyLight” and “BlockLight” tags are removed A “Sections” tag has been added with up to 16 compound tags Each section has 16x16x16 “Blocks”, “Data”, “SkyLight” and “BlockLight” tags Each section has a “Y” integer tag saying which section it is (note that some Y positions can be skipped). 0 is at the bottom of the world and 15 is the topmost section Each section also has a “AddBlocks” tag, which is a DataLayer byte array just like “Data”. The “AddBlocks” tag is not included in the converter since the old format never had block ids above 255. This extra tag is created whenever a block requires it, so the getTile() method needs to check if the array exists and then combine it with the default block data. In other words, blockId = (addBlock << 8) + baseId. Each chunk has a 16×16 byte array with biome ids called “Biomes”. If this array is missing it will be filled when the game starts. The converter doesn’t include any biome sources, though (it had too many dependencies to be included). Note that the old format is XZY and the new format is YZX (see the difference between DataLayer and OldDataLayer). The new format uses the extension “.mca” instead of “.mcr” (the old format is kept for safety, with the level.dat backed up as “level.dat_mcr”) Finally, a shoutout to Robinton’s hard work on his mods: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/310298-100robintons-mods/
So... Camail is actually completely insane. I was happily working on the spa, up on the third story, when Camail decides to sneak up behind me then jump off the edge. And then do it again. And again.
Intrigued by his antics, I decide to take a break and observe his behavior. He came up the stairs to repeat the act once more, saw that I was watching him, and froze. Then... he started spinning and circles and spewing cobblestone. And then... + Show Spoiler +
Yeah I dunno. I can't help but think it was some sort of strange ritual. In other news: YES, I did actually start the spa. Hallelujah.
I found something out today, ALL THE GOOD COLOR COMBINATIONS ON PONIES ARE TAKEN BY THE SHOW
ffs I can see why they repeat BG ponies instead of making more I was trying to remake my skin today and every time I made a color combination that looked good in photoshop I'd login and go "GOD DAMNIT I'M (character name here)"
Applejack, Scootaloo, Roseluck, and Aloe were the main offenders of the THIS LOOKS SO GOOD but I look too much like a canon pony. :[
Settled with the fake Scootaloo though because the only good looking one that didn't look like a show pony made me look discorded... literally it's kinda hilarious I kept the skin cuz of it. Also the colors are significantly enough different it's obvious that I'm not Scootaloo... sigh so annoying.

I always mention Roseluck as my absolute favorite when it comes to color scheme alone. She's so pwetty! And of COURSE the spa sisters are good looking too. It's just in their nature. I found the best option was to simply embrace it. :D
Yeah we changed that a while ago now you get chances for double drops on certain items while mining, you have the ability repair etc read the changelogs in the OP.
I already figured out who it was and talked to them but some common sense here guys.
This sheep pen has nearly twice as many sheep because I camped it with wheat making them breed and make more sheep. The blue sheep also take a rare resource to color them blue. If you're going to recolor other sheep to farm them fine just make sure that you recolor sheep that are easy to redye like yellow/red/green etc
Hey Cane, I had an interesting spell idea that you may (or may not) wish to consider. This is just brainstorming, so don't take this as a hint, just an idea.
What about a spell that makes a flammable block immune to fire (won't burn?) It could be useful for creating some interesting effects with lava and fire, and might look pretty cool if done right.
Well, a mod or something then, but it'd be really nice to be able to do that, and it'd allow for fireplaces and the like to not look retarded in some buildings.
Like I said before, if you can take the time out of your day and find a mod that kind of does that Cane will look at it, but other than that its unlikely. Brainstorming is kinda useless, its usually 5% brainstorming and 95% finding a plugin that does that.
The region thing is pretty much what you'd have to do anyway, since you have to tell the game to "not burn the block in this specific coordinate" as opposed to "never burn this block type ever". Global vs regional.
And yeah, this is a pretty good example of what I have to deal with when adding new stuff to the server, and you just got a taste of it. It's extremely rare that I find a plugin that simply works out of the box for our specific purposes (I can only think of like five off the top of my head, out of over 50), and even ones that I can tweak and customize were often made for other purposes. I often end up having to duct tape solutions for stuff we want.
Don't be afraid to suggest stuff, though. If it turns out it's possible, I'll definitely look into it.
Hey guys, so tonight I came to the realization (a realization that should have come a lot earlier imo) that I really don't like sitting in front of a computer and playing video games.
As a result, I am going to take a break from the server (and most games in general. SC2 is an exception because I see it as a sport) and in addition, be tearing down the house I built. So if you see a half demolished house with broken water physics in its basements, please don't be alarmed. I apologize in advance but I had to leave in a bit of a hurry before I could totally tear it down, and I told myself never to touch the game, lest I get tempted to play again, while I am on this break. The house itself is deep in the woods away from town so it won't be too much of a bother, and I know Cane doesn't like broken water so just giving him a heads up. In fact, I shouldn't have even started the demolition process, but a promise to myself is a promise to myself. Hope you guys understand. Hell, feel free to TNT the house a la that other house we blew up.

Sorry guys that I haven't been active for a while. I had been submitting requirements here and there for school since we are the graduating batch. I'm sorry if there are unfinished buildings that I have left around the world but I'll try to finish them this break.
Greetings fellow Minecrafters. With the conclusion of the library build, the next is on the horizon. This time it is the docks.
Updated once again.
This is the general plan: Turn the bay at the mouth of the river into a veritable center of trade as a secondary objective of making fantastic eyecandy. The things we need are everything that goes into a harbor. Warehouses, docks, a dry dock. Unfortunately, I don't have to time to design and build everything that is entailed in that. So what I need you all to do is pick a plot in the zoning map above and design something that will fit in there and fit the theme of a harbor. Additionally, go crazy with the ships, we have to fill in the docks with something.
Things we have:
Lighthouse
Good road
Small boathouse
Wave breaks
Dry Docks Teleporter
Things that are in progress:
Docks for small ships (connecting road is done, actual docks need to be built now)
Large Ship Docks (Contimax)
Things that we definitely need:
Warehouses
SHIPS
The peninsula
Anything beyond this we will have to see. So good luck and get designing!
Note: Don't dig down into zone #1. My not-so-secret lair is underneath there. Seriously. Don't. Just don't. Fixed in that the teleporter area is now above the lair. :3
Update #1: Things that have been accomplished over the past couple days include the wave breaks thanks to ZodaSoda and the teleport area above Zone #1 (also thanks to ZodaSoda). So, don't plan on using Zone #1 for any of your constructions. Besides that, Joshua called on doing the Dry Docks, so don't plan on building those either. Also, Contimax just recently called on doing the Large Ship Docks.
Update #2: Updated the zoning map for accuracy. Zones 1 & 2 are fair game for building. Of the two, Zone 1 is probably better suited for building in that it is already cleared and flattened. Also, Something that I have noticed in that someponies have been assuming that you MUST fill in the entire zone or stick to the zoning map religiously. Don't assume that. It is supposed to be a loose guide for where things should be placed more or less. If you go outside where the bounds of the zone are by a little bit as long as it doesn't screw something else up who cares? For example, Zone #2 was originally two zones, but could easily fit two entirely separate buildings in the zone. And if you want to do that, have at it. Another example is that the peninsula does NOT have to look remotely close to what I did in 5 seconds in paint. Just make it look good.
But besides that, the Dry Docks are done thanks to ZodaSoda and JoshuaMaly, Contimax is looking really close to having the exterior of the building for the Large Boat Docks done, and lastly, the area to the right of the teleport is looking really ripe for a beach party... Assuming someone builds the beach that is...
We've already got some interest. ZodaSoda is currently working on some designs for the wave breaker in creative mode, and people have already expressed interest in making ships. Heck, if you want to make a boat or a ship, freaking go for it. It's a big dock and we can hardly have too many.
I'll get started on some structures over the next few days, although I'd prefer if we had the actual docks ready by then, design wise, even if it's just a dirt mockup.
In other news, we want to go to the End. This has been a community event in the planning for some time, and people really want to go, so let's do it this week.
I'm doing a preliminary query here, as I'd like to gather as many people as possible for this. When would you guys be available? Weekday or weekend; any preference? Time of day would be evening for Euros and afternoon for Americans.

Actually, I'm going to rethink that idea. I;m currently remodeling, and with the new dock coming in, I think that is going to be a necessity. But don't want to work off of nothing.

Hey DeCim, I would very much like to build the dry docks! -JoshuaMaly
Since I live in that area, just thought Id let you know that there are some underground ravines around this area. I dont think in any of the building zones, but in the vicinity.

One last thing: the overview of the current site!
Overview of the current site. Well what else would you expect from a caption?
Updated with some new information on what is going on.
I volunteer for the Large Ship Docks. It's close to my house so it won't be any problem transporting any wood or materials. I may add a ship inside it too.
So... it's been two or three weeks since I finished the basic structure of the spa, and I've spent my time since then wondering how the heck to make a spa interior in minecraft. I've been completely unsuccessful. The time has come to admit that I won't be thinking of something creative anytime soon, and ask for some help with this thing.
If you're good at interiors or just have a good idea, hit me up. IRC is best. Any help would be appreciated!
Oh... it's the big thing next to the town hall, just in case you were wondering.
Figured I'd give you guys a heads up. There's turbulent times ahead. Minecraft 1.2 just came out, and there's a lot of concern over Minecraft's modding future. Bukkit (the server API we're using) is joining Mojang and becoming closed source forever. This has caused a lot of drama in the dev community (it's basically a big fuck you to all the modders who have made it what it is), and it's bad for a number of reasons. I won't go into details, but it's going to wreak havoc with plugins for a while. I honestly do not know how long it'll take for us to update at this point, nor what this means for the future of Minecraft.
For now, we'll have to stick with 1.1, and I have no good ETA on updating to 1.2. As awesome as an increased build ceiling will be (and it will happen eventually), we can't sacrifice our core gameplay for it.
jolka2- either the alicorn because everytime i change my skin is an alicorn and i tried everything and i would like to stay one beacause im pretty good at ruling the server and being and admin or pegasus because i love to fly
I don't know. But anyways find it somewhat amusing how many people are postin here saying , hi I want to be X. Even asking to be an alicorn O.o...
Though on another note, I needs help making a roof for my house. Can't decide how to make it look nice. It's the one behind white wings house next to the river :3
Can somepony help me? I need tons of wool for the roof for the large ship docks. Can some good looking somepony put white wool in the chest inside the large docks? I would be grateful for it. Any wood too would be greatly appreciated. Again, my thanks.
Conti, I'll be happy to help. I have a double chest mostly full for some projects I'm doing and I can send some over to you. I'll be on later tonight (9pm EST or so). If you're on before me, feel free to raid my cloud house's wool chest. Just use the mossy tower to climb up to the cloud scaffolding.
So a few of you already know this, but I've been having serious issues with my Minecraft since 1.2 hit. I'm working on resolving the problem but it's been a pain.
At least the server seems to run okay, which is always my primary concern. It just means I have a hard time working on plugins, as those require significant testing before I add them.
Is that where (almost) everyone has been? It's a ghost town in liquestria most of the time. The only ones I ever see are Galg, Axi, and one or two others.
I'm been busy with school and dota 2, no time for MC. Besides that I'm not really happy with what I'm building right now so I don't have the drive to play anymore. I will drop by soon though, but it won't probably be during your hours

I suppose I hop in from time to time but like some others I'm playing alot of DotA 2 and working on an animation for school that I've left for much too long -_-
It's not suprising that it gets kinda empty when there are new large game-releases. I mean Mass Effect 3 had to have pulled a fair bit of servers empty, just like alot of other releases has. On another note: Dota2 is terribly addictive!

I banned myself from SC2 and Minecraft for a month. Hopefully when school isn't so hectic anymore, I'll be back online and devote some time to the server.
I get what you all mean. I've been working long hours for my Uni and at my coffee shop, myself. Not to mention that I've been playing a lot of vanilla MC on single player. I want to toy with the new features before they are able to be moved to our server. Hopefully we'll all be more active after May when summer comes and after the new game releases are old news.
Would anyone be interested in forming a new settlement village like "the West" to spark more motivation? We can move a thousand or two blocks away from anything and just start a new hub. To make it more interesting, we should avoid bringing any materials or pre-made tools.
Unrelated to my previous two posts but quite wonderful is the fact that the tempo at which MC players walk is the same tempo as the beginning minutes of Pinkie Pie's song Smile. Just made this discovery while working on my melon farm and restocking the comm. chest's food room.
I'm thinking that this would be way cooler than what was planned for the small boats docks. Any questions, comments, or concerns before I go off and make it?
the boat dock launcher is a nice thing to have but I haven't seen one like that before, only something like this launcher which isn't really the best setup for adding/remodeling it from an aesthetic perspective.
Also want to apologize for not being online as much as I'd like, 70 hour work week makes things hard and I have side&personal projects.
I haven't finish the dock roof. Sorry about that. It's hell week since I'm finishing my school's requirements. After this week, I can give time to it. I also lack motivation to do it.
Someone has been fiddlin' with my machine >:3. My stone machine.
Sorry there's been such inactivity. Most of us regulars got caught up playing Tribes: Ascend when it hit open beta, and (as I've said) I've had issues with my Minecraft client (which are now fixed).
I check in on the server console and try to make sure everything is running smoothly, but it may be a while before I get back into working on projects. Just let me know in here or through PMs if there's any issues I need to deal with and I'll respond asap. =)

Are you me? I just started last about 8 days ago with 2005. Now on 2008. I'd join in with building a TARDIS. With Derpy and Doctor Whoof. Because ponies.
Hey everyone, just posting to say hey and that I miss you guys. I've been working hard on my vanilla LP series. That's where I've been. Hope all is well! PM me if you want to get together and adventure in Liquestria! Cheers
1.2 is coming soonish, but there's a few plugins that haven't updated yet and I've been waiting on them. I might just launch without them, but there's a few flavor plugins that we'd miss out on for a while, as well as some utility stuff that I really don't want to do without atm. =)
If it takes too much longer, I'm just gonna say screw it and update.
Well, the server is on a sort of hiatus right now, but I'm getting the itch to play again, so it is probably going to be revived in the summer when everyone has time to play.

But I am already in Summer! D: I finished two weeks ago! Lol
I have even less time to play because i've moved back home and still work by my university. Most of my time is spent driving to work, working, or looking for people to cover shifts I can't go to because I can't get there due to car access. :/

Haha wow, well, that's all kinds of bad timing! I just finished reformatting my computer, and I'm in the process of reinstalling stuff -- been at it for a couple of days now. I have to wait until Tee gets online to get some server information I need. I'll look into it as soon as I can, but it might be offline all day.
Once I get all the stuff I need, I'm gonna look to update the server to the latest version ASAP. I have a couple of projects I want to work on ingame, and one of them might need the increased build ceiling. =)
To everyone who's PMed me over the past few weeks looking to join the server, please be patient with me a little longer. Once the server is updated and running perfectly, I will once again be taking applications. I will need you to re-send them to me at that time, however! I'll update the OP with the relevant information as well.
I've been fixing computer issues for the past few days. It started with my desktop not detecting one of my hard drives, and went downhill from there. Most of the stuff seems to be up and running, though.
I'm gonna try to finish up today so that I can quickly update Minecraft. Once I start working on updating, I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. Oh, and Camail asked me a question in IRC that I didn't catch before he logged off, namely "ETA on getting back into Minecraft?", to which the answer is "a few days, probably". I have some projects I want to work on.
also, I was thinking of building a huge colosseum somewhere. shall we build?
P.S: I logged on for about two hours tonight and discovered that some of the mods have broken. The teleport pads all have been unlinked and the display mod allows you to pick up the items they once displayed. As for the rest of the functionality, the server seems rather laggy and buggy in general.
Is that because less memory and CPU speed is being allocated to the server due to low traffic?
If everyone agrees, I for one wouldn't mind a fresh new map if it would increase traffic and interest. I look forward to building with my MLP comrades again. Just my two cents.
Okay! Server's going offline while I update it to the latest version. I have no immediate ETA on the update, but barring unforeseeable problems it should only be a day or two.
In the meantime, I'm going to be spending today backing up everything on the host machine. Once that's done, I will put the server back up (still running the previous version), but I can't promise that anything that's done in there will carry over to the update (it depends on the update process and what I have to do). You can muck about and build some more stuff in the interim, but don't be surprised if it's reverted for the update. Don't break anything, though, just in case it works!
I'll keep you guys posted; I know a few of you are eager for news. =)
Base version 1.2 server is working on my computer, and I'm steadily adding and testing plugins. Almost ALL of the plugins we use have had some kind of update (and that fairly recently, too), and the rest work fine without updating or aren't necessary. The Permissions plugin had an obnoxious update which changed the indentation of its config file, which means I have to re-indent 643 lines as I go.
I also just tried to launch the server using our old map. The server console output is currently doing this:
Bamf, 24 hours awake and counting. I got a lot done today, and I could in fact launch the server right now and it'd be okay. The reason I'm not doing that is because I want to spend tomorrow looking for some replacement plugins... because almost EVERYTHING Earth Pony related got nixed in the upgrade. About the only thing to make it out unscathed was the Lava Furnace.
Superjump doesn't work. Fall damage reduction doesn't work. Basically, all of the athleticism plugins are broken, so I have to go looking. VirtualChest is also gone (including all the equipment you guys had stored in your virtual chests -- it'll be fun reimbursing you guys for this shit over the coming week or so), but it's been replaced by Backpack which is generally better (same inventory space plus portable workbench available through a /command, and if you opt to use SpoutCraft (which should finally work with the MLP models) you can even access both the backpack and the workbench using hotkeys). Also, even Appleseed fucked up somehow and we have to re-plant ALL THE APPLE TREES. I don't even know how; I guess Murphy really has it in for Earth Ponies tonight.
We may also have to re-do the teleporters. If this turns out to be the case, then I'm going to make a google docs that all of you can edit so that we can keep reasonable track of which waypoint signatures have been used, at least for major destinations like the town, the hub, Pigsquirrel's keep, Unicornia, etc.
mcMMO is completely nixed (we only used it for the repair mod), and in its place we have... an actual repair mod that works and does what we want it to. It only took me 7 months to find.
There are some pretty excellent news, too, however. The author of MagicSpells added something to the plugin for us: ability to gain experience for casting spells. That is all kinds of awesome. He also added a few spell effects that I can turn into new Unicorn spells, and he fixed a couple of bugs that we discovered (no more breaking portals with "carpet" spells). The build ceiling is indeed doubled, and that is sweet. Our map is fine and the conversion was a success. Also, some behind-the-scenes stuff has been made much more streamlined and less CPU-intensive, which makes me a happy camper even if it's not something you guys will ever notice.
OMG the server is back? My heart went from 60 bpm to 100 bpm in a flash. THE SERVER IS BACK. Shit. Now I have to redownload everything cuz I deleted Minecraft a while ago.
Is it updated to the current version of 1.2.5? I tried to log in a few times but it won't let me, connection resets instantly, which tells me I'm on the wrong version.
Server's still 1.1 until later today. I always work on plugins locally to make sure things work before I upload it, and that includes big updates like this. The server will switch to 1.2 some time today (ETA 6-16 hours), and everything done in the server during this period PROBABLY won't carry over once I apply the update.
Anyway, I'm gonna relax for an hour, then get back to work.
Only took me a few days? All I need to do now is reconvert the map, set all of your server permissions/classes, and upload. Oh, and write up a nice long news post and update this thread. It'll be another few hours, but I'm at the final hurdle. There's some new stuff for everyone to look forward to, and one or two old things that are missing (but replaced). Will detail all of this stuff in the thread later.
Now I'm off to get some food. Cheers, and see you all soon.
The server machine is eating up a lot more RAM than it should, and it has nothing to do with Minecraft. I need to get this fixed before I launch the server. If I just try to run it, it might eat up more RAM than we're alloted and Tee might get an angry letter from the company.
Tee is around sporadically and he hasn't gone to bed yet, so I'll try to get his take on this before I try to fix it on my own. It's possible I'll have to reduce the amount of memory Minecraft uses, which is fine as long as we don't get 23+ people in there.
I had to lower the amount of RAM used by Minecraft for now; we'll find out what's eating up all the RAM over the coming couple of days. As usual, let me know if any performance issues or other problems. I'm not expecting a 100% clean launch (I'm sure I've forgotten a permission node or something somewhere), but that's what you play testers are for.
The Minecraft Login servers are having its ups and down, its nothing to do with the new 1.3 UPDATE (that's coming on august 1st) .
Your SERVERS, accounts and saves will be fine don't worry Posted Image
The reason your getting this error is because Mojang are currently fixing it and some logins may get past but the majority of them are not. Just sit tight and it will be fixed soon! Posted Image
Thanks, Sam
In the meantime, just relog into Minecraft until it works.
Also woke up to a few bugs, but they were fixed with a server restart. I'm glad I'm so awesome I can fix bugs without knowing they're there in the first place.
I was going to think of a fancy way to say this, but it's late and I'm tired, so...
We now have access to a jungle. I flew around for a while until I found one, and Cane has built a teleporter to it. Now our glorious server can discover the wonder that is cats. Yes, we may now have cats, my friends.
I'll post pictures of the jungle later.
Also, now I feel useful to the server. It makes me feel all happy inside. :3
Server's still messed up, and Tee hasn't shown up yet, so we're stuck waiting.
Long story short: It's fucked. The Minecraft server console stopped working, then the Linux machine failed to reboot, and now I can't even connect to the host machine any more. But for some reason, you can still connect to Minecraft. Don't trust it. Anything you do in there will likely not take, and it'll revert back to a previous state once it gets fixed.
I'll have Tee post in this thread when/if he fixes it.
We had a server hiccup yesterday that messed up the host machine something fierce. It SEEMS like everything is fine and back to normal, but if you can check to make sure all your stuff is fine and that you haven't lost your latest progress, that'd be great. As always, report any problems to your faithful host!

The MLP models mod? Now that I think of it, the installation might be different on macs; I don't remember. I'll look into it, but in the meantime, can anyone help this guy out? I know Blockhound uses a mac, although I don't know if he frequents this thread or if he can help out.

One really helpful program I've found for modding Minecraft is MCPatcher. You basically hand it your minecraft and the mods you want, and it mods the game for you. It also works on Macs too. There are plenty of instructions available on how to use it as well.

The MLP models mod? Now that I think of it, the installation might be different on macs; I don't remember. I'll look into it, but in the meantime, can anyone help this guy out? I know Blockhound uses a mac, although I don't know if he frequents this thread or if he can help out.
Thanks i was also thinking about joining and getting building permissions and such

Hi! I use a Mac often, so I think I can help out a bit.
The installation process is the exact same way as for windows mod installations. Follow the instructions on the mod sites, and often times they will tell you the corresponding folder location. Minecraft is a Java based application, so it's crossplatform.
As for joining and such, read the original post please.
I was wondering if anyone would like to help me build the cloud city I am working on. The coardinates are X: -80, Y: 151, Z: 107. You really can't miss it. I want to try to make it a decent sized city. I want to keep it Cloudsdale inspired by it being pretty much all made of wool. Any help would be appreciated.
The harbor is looking fantastic these days. Zoda has made a really awesome pier, with an elevated system that I couldn't help but take advantage of. I wanted to fill in the docks a little bit, so I built an airship today. There's still some more interior work to be done, but the exterior and all the rest is completely finished.
I'm going to be adding a bunch of custom recipes over the coming days. Here is a link to some possible examples, taken from another plugin (but I thought it had some good ideas). The plugin I intend to use lets us create our own custom recipes, so if you have any further ideas, let me know.
Well. I have made the rough shape for Cloudsdale. If you wana know how big it is, just look on the Dynamic map next to the university. I am guessing I am going to need over 100,000 wool. I would love any help possible, wool, filling in the base, ideas on buildings to put on it, really anything. Thanks much!
I suggest all active pegasi to start building up a wool stockpile. Just casually cast wool and send it his way. You would be amazed at how fast it grows.
Jhuyt: I terraformed the mountain beneath High Trotgar a bit. I'm not quite done / happy with it but it's a lot better than bulging spheres of stone. If you have any ideas, let me know. Still need to make the path and the steps leading up to the place.
No, I don't think that's it. I think he was referring to the area due west of the University - see the dynamic map. The flattened land just past the "Overpriced Bullshit Books" marker, that's where he was working once upon a time, and I believe that's what he was referring to.
Anyway, currently taking a backup of the server and copying it to my local machine. Will work on multiworld tomorrow. Going to bed now. =)
I finished the first layer for Cloudsdale. Now I just need to make it into a cloud. Then we can start putting cloud buildings on it. I am trying some stuff out for brainstroming, so igonore stuff built on it. As always, I would adore getting wool, it just makes it faster for me to make it. Thanks!
Helloooo, It's me again! If any important people happen to be on, could you demolish my house? You can do that, right? Just completely get rid of it if you could. If not, then I will do it myself, it's fine :3

Minecraft 1.3 comes out on August 1. As always, don't upgrade your client (click "Not now" when prompted to update) for a few days until I've had time to upgrade our plugins, or you won't be able to play.
The server will also be sleepy for a while as most of our regulars are busy, but I do drop by at least once a day to work on unfinished projects. =)
Bukkit still hasn't come out with a recommended build for server 1.3 yet, so we're holding off on updating until that time. No ETA, but expect a few days. This is a big-ass patch.
While waiting for the 1.3 updates to hit the shelves, I'm doing some server cleanup. To that end I've cleared out the build permissions a fair bit and removed a lot of inactive players from it, mostly people who were never on much (or at all), or people whom I (or the server, via the /seen command) couldn't remember. To my knowledge, people who've built anything substantial in our server all still have build permission, but if you return and find you're back to default, leave a message here or shoot me a PM.

Hey all. I've been super busy with work and the beginnings of school. I hope everyone remembers me and understands I still love Liquestria. At the moment, I'm taking a hiatus from Minecraft as I wait for all 3 of my servers I enjoy playing on (including this one) to become either 1.3.1 ready or a new map (of course depending on which of my servers I'm talking about). So far my personal server is the only one in that category due to its vanilla-ness and its low player count. I can't wait to start building again with the new magic of 1.3. Live long and pony on, guys!
Age: 21 Minecraft ID: groky Desired class: Unicorn Pegasus Previous Minecraft experience: Click here Introduction:Hey, i'm iGrok. I've taken a bit of a break from MC, but I want to get back into it and, knowing my friend GMarshal loves MLP, I figured I'd give this a shot. I've played mostly PvP servers but always taken the constructive role on them (I build the base while our team went out and fought). You guys seem to love the same stuff about MC that I do - really looking forward to (hopefully) playing with you - if I can get this launcher to work.
I just finished an extensive overhaul of the help system. Type /help in-game to get started. The help pages link to each other quite well. If you have any suggestions for stuff that should be added, let me know.
Made a tweak/addition to the spawn platform - it now actually fills the role as a spawn platform, complete with a "help desk" that I can build on should I want to. Design's about the same, though.
@iGrok: Your application looks great. None of my Shadowbolts have been online to discuss it with, but it's not really necessary. To be honest, you had me at "friend of GMarshal".
Added. I'm about to go to bed (long-ass freaking day), but you can take the automatic tour in-game if you want. Check out the spawn platform - clicking on the signs there gets you on you way. I'll have a better one set up later, but for now it'll suffice. Don't be surprised if the server's empty for several days still, though. This happens every Minecraft update, and our community's been busy with all kinds of other games.
If you have any questions, ask one of our Shadowbolts, or in IRC, or wait until I wake up. Welcome to the server, mate, glad to have you. P.S.: We have a Ventrilo if you want to talk with us, entirely optional.
Bukkit finally updated (it went straight from 1.2.5 to 1.3.1). Vital plugins will be making the switch over the coming few days. Still no good estimate of server update, but this is pretty much what I was waiting for. Will be looking into updating as soon as possible, but it could still take a week before our region plugins make the switch.
Another long day of working on plugins (new stuff, not updating the server just yet). It's getting to the point now where I can start taking fairly big suggestions about stuff to add to the server, or changes to the classes or whatever, so if you have any cool ideas, let's hear it. I'm still limited by what the plugins can do, but I can do a lot more now than back in the day.
As always, let me know if there are any problems. I've mostly been working on administrative tools, but still. =)
I've been incredibly busy working on the third TLP My Little Pony Mare-A-Thon, which airs this very weekend. Once the event has concluded (and after a couple of days of freaking sleep), I'll be hard at work setting the Minecraft server back up. I mean, we've got this thing, so we might as well use it.
ETA: About a week to a week and a half, and I promise to do my best to hold to that time frame.

Let me know if there's anything you need or would like me to help with.
Minecraft 1.4.4 came out not too long ago, and as a result there are certain plugins that haven't quite updated yet. I'll need to look for replacements, as well as get in touch with a few plugin authors before I can set things back up.
And, of course, the item repair mod doesn't work any more. We've never had problems getting an item repair mod working before, so this is completely new territory for me.
Edit: Okay, things are really stupid in Minecraft land right now. This is pretty much the most chaotic it has ever been.
First: We are right smack in the middle of a massive hotfix period (1.4.5 was released as I was working on 1.4.4), and Bukkit has not yet updated accordingly (still on 1.3.X). They have a dev version which I will be checking out, but it's not stable and it's only really to test plugin compatibility. The 1.4.4 version they were working on has been decommissioned and labeled "broken" under the download section. Until Bukkit releases an actual build, I won't be able to give any kind of ETA.
Second: Spout. It has been integrated into the Minecraft code (more plugin functionality out of the box at the expense of a lengthy era of what-the-fuck-is-going-on), and as a result there's all kinds of Spout-extra plugins that are also in the same period. Dev versions galore.
In short, it's kind of a mess. I can only make backups and get a few things ready until Bukkit updates, and (subsequently) everything else.
I'm currently testing a dev build, and so far it's running quite well. No opinions on stability yet (I haven't had it up for more than 10 minutes at a time while working on adding plugins), but it seems fine, minus a few plugins that I need to wait for. Most of the plugins work like a charm, although I had to get rid of a few, and hold off on updating one or two of them.
I think I'll put this up today with the disclaimer that I don't yet know how well it will run. First impressions are good, but I'm sure there will be bugs after a few hours of play.
1.4.5 (dev build) is LIVE! Update your Minecraft, then download this archive.
The .zip file contains Mine Little Pony (the MLP models) and the Zombe fly mod in one convenient package. Installation instructions can be found in the OP if you need them, but most of you know how to do it by now.
Important notes:
This is a dev build. As such, there may be the occasional bug, and I cannot yet attest to the stability of the server. Everything does seem fine and operational right now, but if you do encounter a problem, let me know.
Not much has changed in terms of gameplay, but there are a few plugins missing right now where I am either waiting for an update, or actively looking for a replacement.
The important one right now is Backpack, which you will not be able to access for a few days. Backpack requires Spout to work, and Spout hasn't updated yet. I'm waiting for both, then it should be back and working as usual. ETA: No idea, depends on Spout, but shouldn't be more than a few days.
LavaFurnace does technically work, but it was spamming my server console with a message that I could not get rid of. I am waiting for an update to fix this bug (it should be no more than a few days also), but if no update is forthcoming I will add it and just deal with the personal aggravation of console spam. ETA: By next weekend, tops.
Blacksmith is also gone (see a pattern here, Earth Ponies?), and this one is problematic -- I don't know if we can get it back. The freaking repair mods have always given us grief, so this is nothing out of the ordinary. I'll look for a replacement, and until then I will be handling repair duties personally (as long as I'm in-game). ETA: Fuck you.
The Love & Tolerance texture pack also needs updating -- I'm waiting on Raelcun to get online to talk to him about it. There's some stuff missing right now, and the armor is messed up. We'll get it fixed asap.
I also managed to find a dev build of the Zombe fly mod. I've provided a download which includes both the Zombe fly mod (configured properly for our server) as well as Mine Little Pony (MLP models mod). Grab it here:
Most of you already know what to do with it. If you're new, you can find installation instructions in the OP.
Lastly, some things in the OP are out-of-date. This obviously includes information on the Backpack and Blacksmith plugins, as well as anything else that's missing or changed. I will update it once we get a stable build set up. 95% of it is still accurate, just keep it in mind.
If something doesn't work, let me know asap so I can get to work on it.
In any crafting menu (inventory, workbench), put your damaged tool (i.e. iron pickaxe) along with the primary component material (i.e. iron ingot). The more damaged it is, the more ingots it will cost to repair.
Anyone can repair items, but Earth Ponies are more efficient at it and require fewer ingots to do so. Additionally, only Earth Ponies can keep item enchantments -- anyone else can still repair the item, but it will be disenchanted in the process. The more powerful the enchantment on the item, the more ingots it will cost to repair.

Having to kill hundreds of cows to make a stack of bookcases (which means you have to breed the damn things and wait a long time for their children to grow so you can breed those) is a royal pain in the ass. Also means you have to collect a lot of wheat.

I just wander a few hundred blocks out and then proceed to kill every cow in a hundred block radius. It gets me a stack or three of leather every time.
You have no idea what pain I go through by playing Mystcraft, though. I need so. Many. Books.

There is a really nice and compact cow breeder that I use on my vanilla server. I'll make a model by the university when I get on later tonight. With a looting 3 sword, 30 kills yields over a stack of leather.

Any chance you could make it over by the animal pens instead? I've been breeding a bunch of cows over there, and it'd be nice for it to be there for the server.
I'm going to say "fuck you Mojang" and change the recipe back to just three pieces of paper. That leather cost is pretty unacceptable for our library-filled pony server. We've already got Bloodynoob murdering all the wildlife, I'd rather not give an INCENTIVE.
Also, 3 pieces of paper once again become a book. I didn't much like the inclusion of leather to that recipe in vanilla.
LavaFurnace is back in. Happy birthday, Earth Ponies.
Bookshelves now act like chests. You can right click them to open them, and place books, paper, quills, etc. into the shelves. This semi-conflicts with spellbooks (where you right-click a bookshelf containing a spell in order to learn it) because it opens the shelf as well as teach you the spell, but it's not a big deal. Just deal with it until I can fix it.
Redstone Lighting is back in. You can use redstone to power (turn on/off) the following items:
Glowstone
Pumpkins
Netherrack
Known bugs / missing features:
Backpack is still missing, but your packs have been saved and it will work fine once SpoutPlugin updates. I tried a beta build for it, but it ended up lagging the server so I'll hold off on updating until a good dev build is released for 1.4.5. ETA: Another few days, probably.
Bookworm is gone, but the new writable books in Minecraft more than replace the old Bookworm functionality. If anyone wants to help me migrate all the old books to the new format (lots and lots of copy-pasting), let me know. I'll be adding them slowly over time, I'm sure.
The Love & Tolerance Texture Pack is in need of an update/upgrade. New blocks and paintings have been added since we last updated it, so they don't properly display in-game. Second, a few players' skins are broken. This is because of an update to the Mine Little Pony models mod. Raelcun has promised to take a look at these soon, so we can hopefully get them fixed up for 1.4.5. ETA: Raelcun.
The Magic Spells plugin has a bug that will mostly only affect new players. In certain conditions, it may not properly display all of your spells when you do /cast list. You may have access to a spell (and you may know it, and be able to cast it) and yet it won't display on /cast list until you have cast it at least once. I'm looking for a fix, but most likely this is a bug with the plugin and we just need to wait for the next stable release. It's no big deal, just keep it in mind.
Definitely intending to try this out. Not sure whether to be a Pegasus or Earth Pony. Earth Ponies have all kinds of awesome things that I want, but Pegasi can fly. They can FLY! I love to fly...
It's like, 10 pros for Earth Ponies vs. 1 pro for Pegasi, but the pro is FLYING. Plus, most things Earth Ponies can do can be done slower by Pegasi, but an Earth Pony can never fly.
Honestly, I no longer use the love and tolerance pack, I use a x32 cell shaded one. Haven't played in months so I forgot what the name is, but I don't see how the TP will ever be updated.
I has photoshop now so I guess I could take a look at it some time i the future. Maybe take the vanilla TP, replace everything that already exists, then edit the remaining blocks. This wont happen for awhile though, if it ever does..

Unicorns actually don't excite me at all, to be honest. Dunno why. I guess since most of their spells are combat-oriented and that's not really how I play Minecraft. Earth ponies seem best at building, Unicorns at combat, and Pegasi at exploration. I prefer the former and the latter.
I reckon I'm gonna pick a Pegasus. I explore more than I build on public servers.
So I decided to go with the Pegasus. Here's my application.

Therefore, this server is 50% more awesome than any other Minecraft sever out there. Rainbow Dash would appreciate my logic.
I admit that I have no idea what to build at this stage. I'll probably spend a lot of time sightseeing before actually deciding to build something, which is my main reason for choosing a Pegasus. Minecraft players tend to be far more talented and industrious than me, so I like to look at what better people than I have made If this isn't enough, I understand.

Heyyy, Salivanth!
Welcome to the server, man. You've been around long enough that I would have added you if you'd just asked, but I really appreciate the effort to write this up. I'll set you up as a Pegasus right away.
I'll be around in-game a lot over the next several days as I'll be setting up a few more plugins and diligently checking the status on stable releases. Let me know if you need anything, or if you want me to show you around. In the meantime, have fun sightseeing. We're pretty proud of what we've made.
I sort of just wandered into the server without an application, really sorry about that!

I have almost nothing I can do to add to the community, except be unskilled labor if someone building is on the same time as me; but other than that, I really just wanted to admire this server and what the people have made.

Don't worry about it, Cane thought the formula for books was bullshit and changed it back to just 3 paper, so the entire breeding process is no longer necessary since I don't need to farm leather =p. Thanks though!
I see you've already built it, I copied your design and saved it for the future.

Having to kill hundreds of cows to make a stack of bookcases (which means you have to breed the damn things and wait a long time for their children to grow so you can breed those) is a royal pain in the ass. Also means you have to collect a lot of wheat.
There is a really nice and compact cow breeder that I use on my vanilla server. I'll make a model by the university when I get on later tonight. With a looting 3 sword, 30 kills yields over a stack of leather.
Any chance you could make it over by the animal pens instead? I've been breeding a bunch of cows over there, and it'd be nice for it to be there for the server.
Oops.. Well I really should have read here first... I made one by the place I used to donate wool. I left signs for instructions. I'll make new ones tomorrow by the pens. It's really hard for me to move for some reason. Creative style flight is a tad buggy and I need to install the zombes flight mod. I guess I could have walked but my portals and telepads are are messed up. So it would be a 2000+hike
Don't worry about it, Cane thought the formula for books was bullshit and changed it back to just 3 paper, so the entire breeding process is no longer necessary since I don't need to farm leather =p. Thanks though!
I see you've already built it, I copied your design and saved it for the future.
There goes my plan to invade your leather farm and brutally murder all of your cows.
The LnT: Liquestria texture pack has been updated. It's technically a beta release, but it fixes all the broken textures and armor brought over from 1.2.5. Grab it and use it in place of the old one.
The texture pack will be updated later to include a different design for the leather armor, as well as any other updates we can think of.
We're also looking to change the existing paintings into better ones more suited for our server. We'll try to get a compilation of paintings ready so that we can all pick which ones we want to see. No ETA on this yet, just a heads up.
Updated mod pack download archive
I've updated the .zip archive we provide (which includes the Zombe fly mod and the MLP models mod fully installed). By popular request, it download now includes Rei's Minimap. This is a minimap mod with a high degree of customization, and is highly recommended.
As a bit of an update as to what I fixed with the new texture pack version:
Alternate wood colors were tweaked so that they fit together more. Using different colors of wood together in the same structure should be an option now as their colors are more analogous but clearly different.
Carved Stone texture updated to fit the other stone textures in the pack..
Emerald blocks (once you finally get some) won't burn your eyes out.
Anvil is darker and the stripes shouldn't be as offensive.
Alchemy stand slightly tweaked.
Ender chest is now a dark velvet box, but without the gems all over it.
Wooden Doors now have hearts in them.
Iron Armor now properly looks like Commander Hurricane's armor with the fixed armor in Mine Little Pony.
Lunar and Celestial armors are improved slightly.
The icons for Celestial and Iron armor now look like icons of the actual armor.
Jungle saplings no longer look like dog turds.
Potions and splash potions no longer look like cider containers.
There were a few additional changes made by the Love and Tolerance which were improvements so we imported those as well. Most of the new textures are credit to the person updating Love and Tolerance texture pack, except in the instances were it was ugly and we fixed it.
As always this is the official recommended texture pack for the server. Most buildings on the server will be built on this pack and designed with this pack. To see the server as intended we would recommend using this texture pack.
Backpack is back in. Earth Ponies can type /i to access their backpack, and /w to access their portable workbench.
New Unicorn spell: Enderchest. This spell allows Unicorns to remotely access their Ender Chest.
Name: Enderchest
Cost: 100 mana
Cast time: 5 seconds
Cast interrupts: Move, damage
The Arcane Hub is almost complete. The second floor has been built, and is accessed through the hovering teleporter. This floor provides personal teleporter pads which players may claim on a first come, first serve basis. You are allowed to claim more than one, but excess teleporters may be reclaimed if we need room.
The dynamic map has been updated to use the Liquestria: LnT texture pack.
Upcoming updates
New classes:Griffin and Zebra. Why, yes, I will be busy over the next few days.
The Nether will be reset today. The nether portal in town will be reactivated by the Shadowbolts, but all other portals will need to be activated by their builders.
1) So, apparently servers can specify a texture pack in the server config, which will prompt the client when they log in and ask them if they want to download it. It then downloads and automatically applies the texture pack in real time, no reconnect necessary. I think I'm in love.
2) I was forced to reset the magic system, which unfortunately means that everyone lost their spells and have to re-learn them. This is doubly a nuisance because we also lost the mark locations (for recall purposes).
If you need help, talk to myself, Whitewing, or Requiem in-game. I'm thinking specifically of learning Fus Ro Dah (it's hard to get up to High Trotgar to learn it right now because the path up there is broken), or helping you get your mark/recall locations back.

Let me know of any problems.
Apparently you removed the food spell from the game? Or is there just no place to learn it?
Strong in a fight: Griffins deal more damage and take less damage in combat (+3, -1)
Chance to crit
Chance to heal in combat
Mighty combat roar which demoralizes monsters
Visually distinctive look*
Griffins will be a stronger variant of the Pegasus, but without the agility and deft air building. Unlike Pegasi, they cannot dye placed wool, conjure wool or carpet, or place blocks in mid-air.
*Only with advanced skin properties; requires user to upload custom skin
Zebra
Master of alchemy
"Alchemy" power which uses spell power to help you harvest alchemical ingredients
Easily craft and use potions to acquire beneficial effects
Access to a Black Cauldron, which provides access to some wholly unique recipes
Hardy - slightly tougher than ponies in a fight, and takes slightly less damage (+1 and -1)
Adept at nature spells
Small backpack for extra inventory space
Zebra share many traits with Unicorns, including a few spells (such as lifewalk, waterspring, and food, to name a few), but while Unicorns are adept enchanters, Zebra are skilled alchemists. They have an easy time finding ingredients through their alchemy spell, and use potions to gain beneficial effects.
They also have access to the Black Cauldron, a large Obsidian cauldron that you build, not unlike the Lava Furnace. This cauldron opens up some special recipes unique to Zebras, including the transmutation of rare materials and gems: Emeralds, Endstone, Gold, Lapis. The Cauldron lets me specify almost any recipe I can think of, opening up a lot of possibilities for future crafting.
---
Note: Both classes are still being heavily worked on (class creation began today, basically, so consider the above a first draft). Some features are momentarily lacking (or at least undocumented), but I will flesh them out over the next few days. In the meantime, they are functional, and you can give them a try if you want. You can probably see where I'm going with them, so you'll probably be able to tell if their play style will appeal to you.
To facilitate this, everyone gets one free class change as of today. Fully optional, of course.
Multiverse
We now have multiple worlds we can visit in-game. I will be adding more over time (possibly as suggestions come in), but for now I've added the following:
Blueprints Creative
A creative world which you can only access via the Arcane Hub. As the name suggests, this world is set up to let people experiment with structure designs before they begin construction in Liquestria -- useful for larger projects. Give it a shot, but be careful around the teleporter. You can see this world on the dynamic map.
Over time, there will be more worlds to access. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few that might be useful:
Freebuild Creative or Survival
A normal world where players can make whatever they like. Some things don't fit too well with the theme of a pony server, and this world would allow people to build things they normally couldn't.
Class test Survival
A basic world where you can experiment with the spells, abilities and powers of each of the races on the fly, making it easier for newcomers to pick a class. This world would be reset once every few days to regenerate the landscape.
Moon Survival
Of course. It's been in the plans for ages, it just hasn't materialized until now. Hopefully I can set one of these up soon, if only for the fun factor.
Art world Creative
A place where people can make 2D and 3D pixel art in a mutual park/gallery.
Please comment on the suggested worlds - I'd rather not add stuff without the players' consent. If you have any suggestions for worlds, let's hear them. These days, there's not much we can't do.
Town projects
The following buildings have been moved, removed, schematic'd, or otherwise messed with:
Bio's Obsidian Tower
Potmilk's Complex
Neighpon
They are all still in the game, but they all needed relocating. Still working on road designs, then I'll put them back in. (The players who built them no longer play, but I figured I'd give a heads up here, anyway.)
Teleporters
Some teleporters have been moved or removed from the Arcane Hub. The top floor is now available for personal use on a first come, first serve basis. Read the previous patch notes for details.
Magic system reset
I was forced to reset the magic spells plugin, meaning everyone lost their spellbooks and marked locations. It's more a nuisance than it is a problem, as it takes time to visit the library and the university to re-learn them all. The main exception is Fus Ro Dah, which is hard to get now that the path to High Trotgar has been broken. Let me know in-game if you need it, and I'll hook you up.
Current server projects
<[A] Cane> Hey guys, come up with some more buildings that should be in the marketplace. <[S] Whitewing> Slave Pens <[P] Caumen> Brothrel <[A] Cane> Putting my smile away... and on with the day.
Here's a short list of projects we want to complete:
Marketplace
Hardware store
Music store
Furniture store (Quills and Sofas?)
Tailor (previous tailor shop never got finished and had to be removed)
General
More normal houses, as good as you can make them. These, more than anything, are appreciated.
Landscaping
If you can and want to design any of these, please go right ahead.
Upcoming updates
New classes:Griffin and Zebra. Why, yes, I will be busy over the next few days.
The Nether will be reset today. The nether portal in town will be reactivated, but all other portals will need to be activated by their builders. Yes, I know this was on yesterday's patch notes as well, but piss off, I was busy!
I was planning on attempting to make a Griffin skin anyway. Once I get one that looks good I'll upload a generic griffiin that you guys can modify if you wish to play as one.
The Liquestria Client has been completed. This is an optional download which sets up some really cool features in your Minecraft client, designed with Liquestria in mind -- key bindings, commands, and added functionality for all classes!
Features
Customizable key bindings for any in-game spell and command, ready to play
Note: If something goes wrong, you can easily recreate a clean installation of Minecraft. Simply start the Minecraft client, click on Options (above the name/password fields), and select "Force update". If you have plugins installed already and you want to make a backup of Minecraft before installing this, you probably already know how.
Download the LiquestriaClient.zip file and extract its contents anywhere
Start -> Run (on Windows 7, write in the "search programs and files" field)
Enter %APPDATA% into the field. This should take you to your Applications Data folder
Go to your Minecraft folder, probably located at AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Copy the contents of LiquestriaClient.zip into this folder
That should just about do it. If you're having issues, post in the thread, or read the OP - there should be some more detailed installation instructions elsewhere in the OP. Alternatively, ask around, someone can usually help you.
Liquestria key bindings
When you've installed the archive, launch Minecraft and join the server. Once you're in the game, press Backspace. This will bring up the macro menu, and you should see a keyboard view. Click on Config: Default Configuration in the upper right, then select your class from the menu. Once done, it will bring you back to the keyboard view. You can either start playing immediately with my default settings, or you can move the key bindings around as you please. It's highly customizable and intuitive, just look around.
Note: Some keys may not work if they overlap with key bindings you have already set in the game. In this case, just rebind the problem keys to something else.
Some macros require the use of a command key. By default, this button is C. When you press C on your keyboard, a green "OVR" bar should appear in the bottom left. This is used for two things:
To be able to bind functions to existing mouse buttons and keys, i.e. for Unicorns, holding C and pressing Mouse1 casts the Gatling Sparkle spell.
To be able to bind multiple spells or commands to one key, i.e. pressing H casts the hearth spell, while holding C and pressing H casts the heal spell
If you want to use my default settings, here's a quick legend:
The following list is comprehensive, but you don't need to memorize it. In short: Attack spells are on the mouse, buff spells are near your WASD keys, movement spells are on Space/Ctrl/Shift, and utility spells are everywhere else.
C + Mouse2: Toggle creative Flight (for those that don't use Zombe)
C + Mouse3: Conjure Wool
Mouse4: Air place on
Mouse5: Air place off
C + Mouse4: Weather: Clear the skies
C + Mouse5: Weather: Make it rain
, (Comma): Weather: Clear the skies
. (Period): Weather: Make it rain
The Alicorn config is a slightly modified combination of all three, and won't be of any interest or use to you.
The download is entirely optional, yet highly recommended. You can still play in Liquestria just fine without this download, but it adds a lot of fun functionality to our players!
Rei's Minimap
This is a great little mod which adds a minimap to your upper right corner. Press Z to adjust zoom levels, and X to toggle a larger map. You can customize the look and utility of the minimap - press M to enter the plugin menu.
Mine Little Pony
The pony models mod. This mod has reached incredible levels of awesome. In addition to the normal sized ponies, through advanced skinning options you can also be a filly, an Alicorn, and even a griffin. Highly recommended if you want to play in Liquestria.
Love & Tolerance: Liquestria
Our "official" texture pack is a heavily modified version of the Love & Tolerance texture pack. Raelcun has done amazing work on this, and it's recommended if you want to see Liquestria like the rest of us do.
Zombe fly mod
The Pegasi fly mod of choice. If you aren't a Pegasus, this function will simply be deactivated. Press F to toggle fly mode, Q and E to descend/ascend, and Shift to fly faster.
Unicorn Spells Update
A few new spells have been added, and a lot of old spells have been altered or completely reworked. Mana costs have been generally lowered, mana regeneration has been increased, offensive spells have greatly increased in potency, and a few spells have been taken out and moved to the upcoming Zebra class.
The following is the complete updated list of spells:
Cone Of Cold - a powerful area of effect spell with good damage and decent range.
Enderchest - remotely access your Ender Chest
Energy Sphere - a massively powerful sphere of energy which costs a lot of mana
Gems - uses your magic to search for gems and ore
Life - draws magical energy from the world around you to regenerate mana more quickly
Mayhem - causes enemies to become confused and attack each other
Spell updates:
Gatling Sparkle - greatly increased damage and rate of fire, and decreased mana cost
Geyser - increased damage by 1 (up from 5 to 6)
Manipulate - increased range and decreased mana cost
Minor other changes that I don't remember off the top of my head
Removed spells:
Clarity - replaced with Life
Confuse - renamed Mayhem and given a slightly bigger radius
Lilywalk - was a variant of Frostwalk, now given to Zebras
Snowball - reworked into Cone Of Cold
Taunt - reworked into an aggro ability for Earth Ponies
Waterspring - removed and given to Zebras
Anything else not on this list that's missing, just assume that I removed them deliberately and for good reason
New classes: Griffin and Zebra
Griffin
Flying skills equal to Pegasi
Strong in a fight: Griffins deal more damage and take less damage in combat (+3, -1)
Chance to crit
Chance to heal in combat
Mighty combat roar which demoralizes monsters
Visually distinctive look*
Griffins will be a stronger variant of the Pegasus, but without the agility and deft air building. Unlike Pegasi, they cannot dye placed wool, conjure wool or carpet, or place blocks in mid-air.

Nether Reset
What it says on the tin. The nether has been reset, so expect some weird stuff with nether portals for a while. On the bright side: Glowstone! Blaze spawners! Have fun in there, and be careful.

Map corruption
Yyyeeaaah. This one wasn't fun. A server hiccup brought us our first chunk error resulting in some map corruption. Console showed me the coordinates and I found and fixed the few chunks that were affected, but I don't know if any other parts of the map have been affected. Check your shit. 99% sure everything is fine, but you might still want to take a look.
Let me know of any problems, comments, suggestions! I am - as always - at your service. =)

The application form has an "introduction" field for a reason: It's there so that applicants can tell us a little bit about themselves. You simply ignored this field entirely. On top of that, you have both been in our server several times, yet you were always terse when you spoke (which was rare), you offered no words in greeting to myself or any of the server regulars, and you offered no farewells when you left. We assumed you were sightseeing and not interested in getting to know any of us, and you have done nothing to convince me otherwise.
Thus, since I still don't know anything about you two, and since you've put in no effort whatsoever, the answer is no.
What you can't see is the black under his eyes caused by months of terrible applications and 1 posters who just want to use the server as a pony server.
It is less of an MLP server and more of a TLP server, so I'll go with Cane's discretion on this one.
If they actually want to befriend us and write out a full intro and PM it to cane, we have always been accommodating.
when I payed your server a visit in the middle of last night, I - being some random stranger - did not expect to be talked to. Being completely inexperienced with Minecraft online servers, I thought I would go in, have a quick look, and leave. You got me on the wrong foot with the "ponyesque" welcome - so I am sorry, if I was a man of few words last night. Since I would love to visit your fabulous place again, i believe I owe you an Introduction - so here we go:
My name is Olli, I am from Germany and I am 34 years old. My nick has nothing to do with a certain video game character it might sound similar to. It is derived from the major German P&P RPG "The Dark Eye" and is in fact a dwarven name - which fits my character in more than one way...
When I visit a forum, I mostly lurk as you can easily deduct from my posting count and registration date. I find discussions on the internet mostly pointless and just read several statements to see if somebody has a point that is new to me. Sometimes I have a posting fully typed out and ready to send but then I realize it's just an angry outburst that brings nothing new to the table and I delete it and never visit the thread in question again^^
I work at a printing company in the IT-department and my job is to transmit, convert, sort and modify different document formats (pcl, afp, pdf, etc.) sometimes I work early - then I don't have that much time for online activities. But when I am working late, as I do at the time, the whole night is me and the online world.
I discovered mlp half a year ago via the TL-thread. I am not a die hard fan, but I enjoyed every episode. I really like the characters, their development and the resulting stories. Some weeks ago, while I was surfing this sub forum for the X-COM thread, I discovered this very topic. Having played Minecraft now and then for quite some time now - but only alone, I was interested. After reading the Introduction I was downright intrigued. And after I finally decided to take a look in person, I have to say: This is one awesome project, you guys have going here. I love all the detail, the little signs and messages. It took me some time to find out about the introduction video although you start directly in front of it^^ ... this sure is a nice feature.
I will visit again, maybe tonight and I hope, I am not a complete stranger anymore.
P.S. Can't believe that I did not mention that my buddies use to call me "the walking movie encyclopedia" - I think movies are my most important hobby...

I am now out of sand. I wonder why.
That is... very large. I really like seeing things made without unlimited resources, it really showcases the effort put into the constructions. Good job so far
Hi there. I hope I am writing it here on the right place and I´m sorry for my English cause I´m from Germany.
Age: I am 20 years old and at the end of the year I am 21 years old.
Minecraft ID: bumschakalakabum
Desired class: Unicorn please.
Previous Minecraft experience: I have played maybe 2 years. Last time I was playing Minecraft is 1/2 year ago and I played just on survival Servers because it´s the spirit of Minecraft in my eyes. I played on like 5-6 Servers and was a harvester, builder, collector and just sometimes for the well of my friends and the guild a slayer. I was in almost every situation I can imagine.
Introduction: Many things were said but not enough. First some things of me. I´m a nice guy, shy at the first time i meet new people but can fall in laughter if they are funny, sometimes happy and sometimes grumpy, just like all humans can be. I´m a bit awkward, thats what the community said where I played the last time. And of course I´m a Brony. I think i won´t have to tell everything of MLP I know. One of the things why I want to play on this server is a good community because the quote: "This freedom to do anything is why we love playing here. Everyone can contribute to a project, and we all work together to make cool stuff. If this freedom means extra work for us in making sure we don't get griefed by people from outside the community, then that is a price that is completely worth paying.". Thats the kind of spirit I never have seen in Minecraft communitys ever, and that´s what i call to play friendly with other people.

Age: 22 Minecraft ID: MrChupee Desired class: Unicorn Previous Minecraft experience: Hello world-level junk with the Redgame redstone-powered computer. Making cannons (^^;;;;;; Introduction:Surfing around the Sports & Games section, I found minecraft but also the MLP server that you guys were running. I added the server address and logged in, walked around abit and was amazed. I have almost nothing I can do to add to the community, except be unskilled labor if someone building is on the same time as me; but other than that, I really just wanted to admire this server and what the people have made.
Oh, no problem at all! Anyone can wander around and look at what we've made, no application needed. Those are only required for build permissions, but you can still hang out and chat or just go sightseeing.
If you want to join up and have build permissions on the server, talk to me again -- otherwise I'll just assume that you wrote this up because you wanted to visit, but not necessarily hang around.
when I payed your server a visit in the middle of last night, I - being some random stranger - did not expect to be talked to. Being completely inexperienced with Minecraft online servers, I thought I would go in, have a quick look, and leave. You got me on the wrong foot with the "ponyesque" welcome - so I am sorry, if I was a man of few words last night. Since I would love to visit your fabulous place again, i believe I owe you an Introduction - so here we go:
My name is Olli, I am from Germany and I am 34 years old. My nick has nothing to do with a certain video game character it might sound similar to. It is derived from the major German P&P RPG "The Dark Eye" and is in fact a dwarven name - which fits my character in more than one way...
When I visit a forum, I mostly lurk as you can easily deduct from my posting count and registration date. I find discussions on the internet mostly pointless and just read several statements to see if somebody has a point that is new to me. Sometimes I have a posting fully typed out and ready to send but then I realize it's just an angry outburst that brings nothing new to the table and I delete it and never visit the thread in question again^^
I work at a printing company in the IT-department and my job is to transmit, convert, sort and modify different document formats (pcl, afp, pdf, etc.) sometimes I work early - then I don't have that much time for online activities. But when I am working late, as I do at the time, the whole night is me and the online world.
I discovered mlp half a year ago via the TL-thread. I am not a die hard fan, but I enjoyed every episode. I really like the characters, their development and the resulting stories. Some weeks ago, while I was surfing this sub forum for the X-COM thread, I discovered this very topic. Having played Minecraft now and then for quite some time now - but only alone, I was interested. After reading the Introduction I was downright intrigued. And after I finally decided to take a look in person, I have to say: This is one awesome project, you guys have going here. I love all the detail, the little signs and messages. It took me some time to find out about the introduction video although you start directly in front of it^^ ... this sure is a nice feature.
I will visit again, maybe tonight and I hope, I am not a complete stranger anymore.
P.S. Can't believe that I did not mention that my buddies use to call me "the walking movie encyclopedia" - I think movies are my most important hobby...
Man, that was a really awesome write-up, and I'm glad you felt welcomed in the server. We'd love to have you around if you're keen on playing with us. I've given you build permissions, and I've set you up as a Pegasus temporarily since I don't know what you'd want to play. You can always switch classes if you want -- just hit me up in-game, or leave me a /mail if I'm not around.
You should definitely drop by more.

Accepted and added! Welcome to Liquestria. I should be playing a lot over the next several days, so if you have any questions just hit me up in-game. Since you're a Unicorn, I heavily recommend (as opposed to just recommend) downloading the Liquestria Client archive as mentioned in the OP. Those hotkeys are such great utility for Unicorn spells.
I should be around a lot more over the next few days, and hopefully this update drought doesn't happen again. Raelcun has been made an Alicorn, too, so maybe I can do that whole "delegating" thing I've heard so much about.
Sorry it took so long, folks, and thanks for your patience.

Introduction: I found this site through Google and the want to play Minecraft online again with what I know will be a good community. The main reason I wanted to join this server in particular was because of the fact that the other MLP server I tried out was fairly lag inducing and the server was severely griefed. This server looks like a great server and great community and that is the main reason I wanted to join. Thanks for your time. Brohoof! /)
Age: 17 Minecraft ID: MellowGears Desired Class: Unicorn Previous Minecraft experience: Mainly played on Single-player servers until i finally bought the game. Now i mainly play online. Introduction: I found this group by a friend of a friend on Skype (Scintillia) when i told him my idea of hosting a local server for bronies. I explored a bit and did some research and am so far loving this entire server. Haven't been to many but i know of the horrors that griefers have done and would never think about doing that (unless i built it and dont like it). But everyone i met was friendly and nice. I hope that i can join everyone in this server and help create something amazing. The fact that there are classes adds so much more to it, Just being a regular player looking at all that was amazing but add in the extra mods and WHAM you've got one awesome server. Hope to see everyone again soon on it.
BTW, sick looking skin. I like the purple diamond axe.
That's the sphax bdcraft texture pack. It looks like it's 64x64, but it could be the 128x128 version. It also usually isn't full of artifacts like that, if you run mcpatcher after each patch.
Age: 16 In two months Minecraft ID: Outkin Desired class: Unicorn Previous Minecraft experience: I've mostly played on single player. I've been playing the game for several months, but have yet to find a online server I've been interested in. Introduction: I just joined the herd last week, and I thought what better way to embrace my new passion then merge my two favorite things together? I quickly began looking for a MLP minecraft server. I played on alot of big servers for a while....but they weren't a lot of fun. Either griefed to death to the point I could walk for days and couldn't find much untouched land, older players had an advantage on me due to their gear and I got camped, or it was "pay to win". Some servers momentarily hooked me due to cool plugins with classes and such, but it was either a lie, unimplanted, pay to get good classes, or made the game too unbalanced. So I find this server, small, cool abilities that are in fact there with more to come, yet still balanced, and it's MLP! The fact that you guys are so honest with each other and rarely get griefed is a plus....an amazing plus. I don't know if I can offer much to you guys, but I would be honored to join this 20% cooler minecraft server :D
We banned someone today who had stolen from apparently half the chests on the server. Including countless diamonds, thousands upon thousands of cooked stone, iron blocks, gold, hard to get nether items, dyed wool, dyes, tools, enchantment tables and probably more that I can't remember at the moment.
We raided his house and took basically all of his valuables and will be putting them in storage most likely. He took mostly from inactive players including some spots that I have honestly no idea how he found.
We don't have really any anti griefing plugins, but we have lots of nice cheater plugins that let us track when you do grief and undo it all.
Congratulations, you now have two pissed off Alicorns.
Not so much pissed off as baffled facepalming. Why join a server where people give you free stuff if you ask - up to and including diamonds - and then go stealing stuff from peoples' chest stash? The freaking storage building (you know, the common warehouse that every person on the server shares and from which you can take whatever you want) has like 300 diamonds, yet he was all, nope, I'm stealing 12 and 20 diamonds from these other two players instead.
So much wat.
Anyway, I just cleared out his backpack which had some valuables (we'll put them in storage), and then I'm pretty much undoing everything he's ever done on the server with a single command line. What a waste of time.

Added, added, and added. =) It's rare that there's so many applicants at once. Normally I do a bit of an introduction and talk to people in-game or via PMs, but in this case I'll just set you guys up with permissions and classes and let you get on with it. I recommend you all hit the storage facility in the Marketplace (east of the Town Circle) and pick up some starting gear.
Regarding what you should build and where, that's entirely up to you guys -- there's projects of all kinds scattered around the server. Just remember the common rule: The closer it is to town, the better it has to look, and it should be themed in the spirit (not the letter) of the show -- or, as I'm fond to say, "No antigravity houses made of lava."
Also, if you start a project in or near town and then abandon it before it's done, or if you create a structure that doesn't look very good at all, it will probably be removed or moved. I recently had to remove a couple of buildings whose designers remained offline for weeks and showed no intent of ever coming back. No biggie as far as I'm concerned, I'm just giving you a heads-up.
Meh, I should update the OP today just to clarify a few of these things. I've been meaning to get around to it.
If you have any questions, ask the regulars in-game, or myself or the Shadowbolts if we're around.

One: "simona" is either a false or a completely new Minecraft ID, as I was unable to find any record of it. You have also never been on the server, so there is literally no record of you that I can look at before I add you. I need to know that the ID is valid before I add it.
Two: "Pegasi Earth Pony" is not a proper class.
Three: Your application was too short -- barely a line to tell us who you are. I realize that an essay is a lot to ask of people who might not even be sure if they'd like to stick around and play with us, but we do need to get to know you a little bit before we can trust you with build permissions. This is a small server, and while we're happy to accommodate people from outside of our community, we do have to be careful about who we let in.
Four, and I realize this is a very elitist point: If you aren't very good at Minecraft, we aren't really set up to accommodate you. Liquestria is a labor of love for a lot of people and we want it to look as good as possible. We should have a freebuild world soon with relaxed rules, but for now there's little we can do to welcome you.

Cracked minecraft only works on cracked servers regardless, not legitimate servers. This is a legitimate server. Try logging into the server (you don't need any whitelisting to do that), you won't be able to access it at all without a proper account, that goes for all the other servers Cane linked.

Wait what. How'd that happen?
Lazy and self-entitled 16 year old girl expecting everyone to pander to them, ignoring parts of the application process, and lying about being another person from our IRC.
Minecraft is updating to 1.4.6. Stay on 1.4.5 if you want to play in Liquestria.
With the latest 1.4.6 update, Bukkit has significantly changed their API. What this means is that most old plugins are now broken, and I HAVE to wait for updates for most of them. I will be working on a 1.4.6 server locally, and I'll uploading it whenever I can, but expect a few days, upwards of a week, before it's ready.
If you accidentally update, you can just re-download the Liquestria Client (found in the OP) and install it. That should revert it.
I'm working on a 1.4.6 build on my local machine, and the update is going well so far. The most important plugins have been added and tested, so we can basically upgrade to 1.4.6 whenever we want and lose no build functionality.
I'll update this post as I go along.
InfinitePlots is broken for 1.4.6. This is the generator we used to create the Blueprints world. The world will probably still work (it's been fully generated), but there may be bugs involved.
Multiverse Inventories had to be regenerated. This shouldn't impact anyone, but if you find something missing from your inventory once we update to 1.4.6, let me know.
Backpack was deleted from Bukkit, then immediately re-added as a "pending approval" project. I tested it, and it still works. This process went from "omfgwat" to "phew" in short order.
A few notable plugins that you'll be happy to know work perfectly:
Appleseed, Backpack, MagicSpells, custom recipes, FoodControl (apples / vegetarian diet gives more nourishment), help pages, Multiverse. Backend plugins (admin tools, protection/editing stuff) all work perfectly and I'm still progressing through the list. We have all the stuff we need, this is the stuff we want, and so far I haven't had to ditch anything.
Streetlights work.
PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Aaaand Runecraft finally broke. The last Runecraft update was half a year ago, and Minecraft has been through several versions since then. In the end it couldn't last, and the plugin is dead for now and the foreseeable future. (No ETA, no known devs working on it, so it's hard to say what'll come of it.)
I'm going to duplicate the Teleporter functionality (in fact, I'll make it so that you only have to stand on the teleporter pad to warp, which is even cooler). This is difficult to set up, however, and for now only Alicorns will be able to create these warp zones.
In the meantime, I may give everyone temporary access to /warps if I can't fix the teleporter system in a reasonable time frame (say, a day or two). As for the runes, consider them gone with no fix. Hoping for the best, though.
There IS another Runecraft-y plugin which is much less versatile or, well... good, but I may end up checking it out.
EasyEnchant is temporarily disabled. It has a pretty big bug anyway, so it's not a huge problem. I'll look for alternatives.
LavaFurnace is offline until the dev has a chance to update it. ETA: A few days.
Lift plugin works.
Modified damage has errors, but partially works. Global fall damage is still lowered, but Earth Ponies do not do more damage, nor do they take less damage than anyone else. Basically, all of the "if target.group.Earth" events - everything that checks for your class before it takes action - are not functioning right now. I'll reinstate them once the plugin updates. It's a popular plugin so I'm expecting a very quick fix to this.
Progress: 56/70
Drops/conversion plugin works. Earth / Zebra can still dig grass and craft mossy/chiseled/etc stone brick, Pegasi can still dye placed wool, all that good stuff.
Progress: 61/70
Aaand the repair mod is gone.
Is anyone surprised?
Showcase has tons of dev builds but they don't seem to work properly. There also seems to be an issue with migrating previous showcases to the new system, so I think we'll wait a few days for the developer to publish a recommended build of this before we upgrade. We really don't want to replace ALL THE SHOWCASES AGAIN. Good lord.
Progress: 68/70
Progress: 71/70
Server is being copied and uploaded. ETA: Between 20 minutes and 2 hours. Once everything has been set up I'm going to create a download for 1.4.6 including the fly mod and all that jazz.
Shortly after I wrote the bit below, the server had an out of memory problem. There's a leak somewhere that I have to identify, but I can't do that until tomorrow. Server down until further notice.
Edit 2: I'll upload/reactivate 1.4.5 for now, so stay on that Minecraft version until I've had a chance to troubleshoot tomorrow. =)
Edit 3: Strange that the setup works on my local machine. May be a problem with the startup script. Again, will investigate tomorrow.
Reverting to 1.4.5, but it'll take a while.
1.4.6 is live minus a few plugins. For example, Dynmap build has a memory leak which killed the server so I'm definitely gonna wait for a stable release for that thing, and test it locally first.
Second, Runecraft is gone for now. I'll be setting up the teleporters tomorrow, but until then we have to make do without. Check out the Arcane Hub if you want to see how the new teleporters will work. Go there from town. Once in the Hub, you can click on the block on the hanging teleporter as usual to go to the top floor, and you can go through the teleporter back to town. The teleporter to the Blueprints world also works. Just walk onto/towards them and it'll teleport you.
I'm gonna set up a Client Download tomorrow at some point. That means no fly mod, MLP models, all that good stuff, until I get around to doing it (I have to head to bed soon, stuff to do tomorrow). In the meantime, Pegasi can use /f or /fly in-game, and all build permissions are still set up. The game is absolutely functional minus a few goodies that will come in tomorrow/over the coming days.
Too tired/busy to edit this for coherency.
Oh, also, we're on a new permission system. Let me know if any bugs you find.
There's a 1.4.6 beta build now (as opposed to a dev build), which should work better. I'm backing up 1.4.5 in-server so that I can revert immediately if I need to. The server should be up and running 1.4.5 for the next while, as I fix/tweak 1.4.6 locally and then upload it. Downtime should be negligible today - something like 15 minutes, maybe.
We're staying on 1.4.5 for now while we wait for a few more stable builds of all the plugins we require. The issues I'm having with 1.4.6 are significant, with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" being the primary cause. I'm not sure what's causing it because we actually have fewer plugins now than we did on 1.4.5, so I expect it has something to do with the beta builds not being quite stable enough. With the amount of plugins that we run, it's usually better to wait a while before updating, lest this kind of stuff happens.
If you've updated to 1.4.6, you can revert by downloading the Liquestria Client and reinstalling that. Everything works fine, and I will be setting up some new plugins while we remain on 1.4.5 (such as the awesomely fun teleporter plugin).
Honorable mention goes to Danish player "Benkestok" for his hilarious attempts at griefing a temporary dev build server with area protection deliberately deactivated. The library in particular looked great with those holes in it, and I had a lot of fun alt-tabbing in to watch you at work in-between bashing at Linux trying to troubleshoot things, but in the end I have to ban you for being dumber than a box of toenail clippings.

Introduction: My daughter got me into MLP and now she doesn't even watch it anymore. Her loss. I bet she likes it a lot more once she figures out where I'm headed to next.
Long story. The short version is: the old server is down and AgonyofLife is missing. Once I work out some finances (should be done in late July) I will be looking for a replacement host. Until then the server is whitelisted and only available to trusted TL members or old school Liquestria players, because I'm hosting it on my computer and we have no logging / anti-grief tools.
I'll also be trying to acquire Liquestria.net, as it was not in my name and currently points to the old server. But, again, with AoL missing I'm having some problems.

Yes, amazingly this server is still being worked on. We've moved maps, moved server, moved everything. While it is technically online 24/7, it's currently only available to trusted TLP members until we're ready to move to a new host. Preparing the new map, server, worlds, et. al has taken up a lot of time this December, but the seed is gorgeous and the new setup is pretty kick-ass.
The labor of love continues, if in a smaller way than before, but eventually it will once again be open to everyone to wander.
I might have to get back into this and spend happy hours trying to make a 20x20 piece of land presentable while all the people with actual skill construct masterpieces around me!

At the moment, Aylear (Cane) is running the server out of his own machine at his home, so we're only allowing a few white listed people who we know well to play. Once we get the seed transfer done and the update to 1.7 completed, we'll be getting a host server and re-opening it to general play.
You can start the process now, but it will be a little while before Cane has a chance to approve anyone, since we're so busy. Read the OP for info about how to join and so forth.
Age: 14 Minecraft ID: traylie Desired class: Unicorn Previous Minecraft experience:I have played minecraft for about 2 years now and while i may be young i'm a good builder so just likes to create nice things for others :3 Introduction: While i may be young i'm rather sensible as playing i love playing minecraft and i wanted to find a new server, i'm fond of building and my best builds are airships and mage towers hence why i wanted to become a unicorn (That and the magics) so yes i'm young but mature and i'm new the TeamLiquid so this should be a fun :D
I'm an old-school minecrafter. Though I tend to lean more towards the various mods, I'd love to hop in. I'm not overly creative myself, but I think that was largely because of the depth of the mods we were using. I do enjoy helping others with their projects though.
A quick update: The server, map, etc. is 90% ready, although we're in the process of migrating buildings from the v1.0 -1.6.4 world (yes, the server has been around since Minecraft 1.0 all those years ago; it's pretty vintage).
In the meantime, applications are sadly closed. Only people who are helping us move stuff around, prepare the new map, and fix plugins are currently whitelisted and with permissions on the server right now. I've been putting off updating the OP because I wanted the next edit to be the reveal of the new server, but I should probably at least make sure people know there's a wait.
Glad you guys are interested, but I'm afraid you'll have to be patient. I'll get some screenshots out soon and tell everyone where we're at.
Tee sends his love and hugs to all the Liquestrians and everyone in the #tlponies IRC. ♥ The guy has been super busy at work, but is still very generously helping me set up the host machine for the server. Things are progressing faster than expected because of it, so much love goes to him!
The dynamic map worked fine by visiting the port (www.liquestria.net:8123), but I wanted to make it appear when you go to www.liquestria.net/map/ so that we could integrate it into the site better (and disable port 8123). I couldn't get it to work, however -- all I saw was a black screen. It was clearly not properly linking to the /tiles/ folder in Minecraft's dynmap subfolders, but I couldn't figure out why.
The problem is simply that I am an idiot. I knew that good procedure was to not modify the apache2 file 000-defaults.conf directly, but rather make a copy of it and then modify that instead, since 000-defaults.conf is nice to have unmodified in case something breaks.
apache vets can see where this is going.
So I just made 001-liquestria.conf, modified that according to the tutorial linked above, and then enabled that with sudo a2ensite 001-liquestria.conf ... but I did not disable 000-defaults.conf, which as it turns out loads before 001 due to conflicts. In other words, classic case of ID-10T error, stemming from me not knowing what the fuck I'm doing on apache2.
So if you have the same problem, just make a backup of 000-defaults.conf named 000-defaults.bak or whatever, and then modify defaults. Or deactivate 000-defaults, whichever one you like. Just as long as you have it lying around somewhere.
There, hopefully someone else looking for a solution to this can find the thread and figure out what's wrong based on the info here.
Also we[2] changed RewriteEngine to ProxyPass, because reasons.
1. And by "I", I mean Tee, our non-idiot sysadmin 2. And by "we", I still mean Tee, our non-idiot sysadmin
We’re still working on setting stuff up over here in Liquestria, and that includes the website. And when it comes to epic web design, we sure know how to install WordPress.
Frankly it’s embarrassing, but I don’t necessarily want to use enjin; it’s a bit limited in how you can make the Minecraft page look. We’d also need to pay money to use the features we want, so instead we’re going cheap.
If you’re a web designer or know anyone who would work for cheap, get in touch! Who knows, I might even be able to set up a contact form properly.

That's a custom shader! They're client mods, and they do make Minecraft look really slick. You can see the effect especially well in these three images (1080p):
Though just like with most pictures of nature, pictures don't show how good it really is. The movement in real time is what totally makes it in my opinion. Shaders work in real-time, so you see the light change and the shadows move as the sun crosses the sky.
There's tons of different shaders but there's generally 3-5 "top" ones that people like. The one I use to take screenshots is SEUS, or Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders Mod, which is "the" shader for taking good looking screenshots usually, but it does have some graphical bugs attached to it for general gameplay.

Nice, best of luck with Uni stuff, it's good to hear from you. =)
As for the server, it's whitelisted right now while we're setting stuff up. You can fly around and look at stuff as a guest if you want (that goes for anyone reading this, in fact), but we're still a few days off from being able to semi-open it up to people who want to build stuff or work on projects. Right now the only people with build/modify access are Alicorns who are helping us set up the new game worlds, which are not quite done.
As a guest you can fly around, /warp to different places and worlds, and just hang out and chat, but not much else. So if you're looking to actually play, well, we're still some days off from that.
Hi folks! I thought I should get the word out that Liquestria, the TL Ponies Minecraft server, is coming back soon™. We have a great new server in Germany and a shiny new website -- and let me tell you, when it comes to epic web design, we sure know how to install WordPress.
For those of you who don't know, Liquestria is a heavily modified and customized survival server with races and classes, multiple worlds, tons of collaborative build projects, and some upcoming expanded PvE content just for fun. It's a multi-year project that's been around since Minecraft 1.0.0. We build stuff!
Anyway, we're bringing it back for Minecraft 1.8 after somewhat of a hiatus. We still have some more work to do before it's ready, but we do need to have a limited test to make sure everything is working properly. Thus, pretty soon™ we want to open it up for testing to TL members, particularly all the fine people in our IRC.
(P.S.: If you haven't dropped by our IRC, you should totally drop by our IRC. It's still going after all these years. http://webchat.quakenet.org/ - connect to #tlponies)
If you'd like to check it out and help us test (and possibly break) stuff, either talk to me (Cane) in IRC, or PM me here on TeamLiquid. I just need your Minecraft name, and what race you want to start as. Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Zebra, Griffon -- click here to see what they all are.
Once the server goes into live test mode, I'll PM you back and let you know that you can connect. It'll remain in this mode until we've squashed any problematic bugs. =)
In the meantime, here's some of our stuff!
#tlponiesMiscellaneous Builds - click for album
____________________________________________
I am Cane, your host, and I bid you welcome.
Anyway! I'm currently setting up Zebras and Griffons to work as full-fledged classes. After that, about a million other tiny things I still need to do, but hey -- baby steps.
I am interested in this, and read through the web page you have set up. I do not have a lot of experience with Minecraft (I do have played a bit on the old TL servers), and a lot of the stuff about building permissions, claiming land etc is new and sounds really complicated and scary.
I am, however, usually pretty good at not being a dick to other people.
Now, i might be slightly stupid, but who do i have to PM? On the website it says to PM some "me", but i am not quite certain who that is. Probably Aylear?
Furthermore, is there a list of mods that i need for this server (and maybe a guide on installing them, i am usually rather bad at that) to be found somewhere? And maybe an additional list of texture packs and shaders to make stuff look as shiny as in your pictures? That would be very nice.
Hi! Just me, Aylear, on TL. Sorry -- I'll try to be more clear in the future. This is what happens when my TL name is different from the name I use just about anywhere else. Everything is kind of patchwork right now so not everything has been completely reviewed.
Even so, I can't believe that I didn't mention this ANYWHERE on the website: No, you don't need to download any mods.
We will have an OPTIONAL client pack download later when we start going live which adds some accessibility options, but you can connect to our server with a regular Minecraft client no problem. All of the game-changing mods and plugins happen server-side, and you can access all of our content even if you don't use a client mod pack.
The client mods (such as a Macros/Keybind mod, Fly mod, etc) are only there to add ease of use and accessibility to these mods and functions in-game, since ordinarily they require typed commands. For instance, to start flying as a Pegasus you have to type /f or /fly in chat, whereas with the client fly mod you can just hit the F key and get better and more responsive flight controls on top of that. Much simpler, but - again - optional.
Land claims are entirely optional. I'll try to clarify.
I should probably emphasise that our server works very much like a regular Minecraft survival server. You can play and build and do whatever you like as normal without ever worrying about any of this stuff. Us Alicorns are almost always around to fix things as necessary.
For instance, the land claims. Usually, if anything gets broken, or if any griefing happens, we can fix it with a single keystroke, so people don't have to worry. Our application process also deters griefers -- in four years, we've only ever had two very minor instances of people stealing shit or breaking someone else's wall in anger, and we can fix it instantly. However, it might be a few hours before someone comes online who can fix anything, during which your house is still on fire.
Thus, for people who'd rather not risk that even on our server, we optionally offer to set up regions for players so that only they can modify or build within their region. Thus, no griefing or destruction could ever happen on your property.
That's all this means, and hopefully this is clear. I'll try to clarify this on the website as well -- maybe I gave the impression that this is a big thing that people have to do, when in reality it's just there as personal preference.
Anyway, we're still working on the server (and website). We'll have a period very soon where we open it up to TeamLiquid people so that we can test how everything works, and if you want in on that, I'm the person to PM.
So, since i just sent you my application, would you mind telling me what kind of texture pack and shaders you are using (since the screenshots look really pretty), and where i can find those?
Also, where does one get pony skins? I'd like to look pony while ponying.
Sure thing. We've got a full client download that has everything you need, including texture pack and shaders. They're all development versions of the client mods, though. They work fine and almost wholly without bugs, but they're also very finicky about what they'll run with. Mod compatibility is all over the place. That's why it's hard to put together a pack like this when there are no stable versions to play with -- everything you install has to play nice with everything else. In ours, it's all compatible, but the price is staying on MC 1.8 rather than 1.8.1 until further development.
Hopefully we'll put together an easy installer in the near future, but for now it's just a .zip file with a collection of compatible client mods and detailed installation instructions (since the install order is very important). I'll upload it later and send you a link so you can take a look.
If you're just curious about what's in the pack:
Mod API software
Forge Mod Loader (necessary for compatibility while dev builds are used)
Liteloader
Client mods
LiteLoader mods
DaFlight dev build
Macros/Keybind Mod
NoteBlockDisplay GUI
VoxelMap
WorldEdit CUI (only used by us admins
ModLoader Mods
OptiFine 1.8.0 HD Ultra
ShadersMod v2.4.8
Plus our texture pack, a modified/remixed/more colourful version of John Smith Legacy
I'll update the pack with any new versions of this stuff and upload it some time tonight. =)
Only thing missing: Mine Little Pony. It's being rewritten because of 1.8.1 and there's no good ETA just yet, so pony models aren't functional just yet. The minute they are, you can be sure we'll incorporate them because it's just another LiteLoader mod that's compatible with everything else.
I would recommend the resource pack. We've got cool things like custom in game music tied to areas that you need the resource pack to be able to listen to (turn your in game music off for it, but note blocks on), and a variety of other awesome things. It's still being updated semi-regularly, and there will be a pass done on the textures soon-ish.
Things are going really damn well. The worlds are accessible and ready for players, the classes are satisfactorily set up (although still missing a couple of things — we’ll work on that in the near future), and the server is looking really stable. All in all, we’re pretty close to done.
Barring any unforeseen problems, we will probably open it up to #tlponies and TeamLiquid members tomorrow or the day after. Get hype. ♥
First round of "invitations" have gone out, and by invitations I mean adding #tlponies people who were bugging me to join!
The server is mostly up, so we're gonna start getting some people on here to see how things play! Some things are still missing but we do need a beta test, so if you want in, just shoot me a PM and say hi. I'll send you a link to the client pack if you want it, and you can drop by and see how things are going.
We'll have a slightly more ceremonious launch later, but for now consider the beta test started. We'll keep it low key until we get everything ready, but if you're reading this, you're invited!
The client pack & resource pack has been updated and uploaded. Current version: v0.20d. We are still working on tweaking textures in the resource pack and will continue to do so over time. Right now the only install available is a manual install, but the installation instructions will get you through just fine. Note again that this is entirely optional, and you can connect to the server just fine with a vanilla Minecraft client. But our client pack looks like this:
In other news, the server is running really well! I've had to crush a few bugs in the script, but apart from that everything seems to be running fine. We're still in "open beta", so come say hi! Guests can walk/fly/teleport around the world to look at everything we've built. For build permission, TL members and #tlponies regulars will be added upon request.
The snappy comeback is "You are definitely blind and should probably have that looked at" since the IP is in the first few lines of both the website and the MLP Minecraft thread, but honestly if you couldn't find it at a glance that's probably bad design and I should try to make it a bit more prominent. Separate line with bold/red text maybe.
Sure, but I highlighted it a bit anyway. It's one of the first things people look at/for when they find a new server so I might as well be accommodating.
My Name: Rico3012 My Race: Unicorn What i want: Play all day and all night on this beautiful server because i LOVE My little Pony... Please let me in...
Hi, the server is kind of idle at the moment as everyone is busy with other projects. It's been a long time since we've done anything on it. I'm afraid we can't accept people at the moment.

Earth Ponies are the workhorses, athletic and strong. They deal more damage and take less damage than the other races, and they can jump longer distances and carry more weight (almost double the normal inventory space). They also have access to a variety of tools, such as the portable workbench and repair block. They can grow and farm apple trees, which provide most of the food for Liquestria.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IFKS00C.jpg)

Unicorns are students of magic. They can learn and cast a wide range of spells, and they can create items and artifacts based on their knowledge and understanding of magic. They begin the game with few spells, but can learn over three dozen — some entertaining but mostly niche, and some that are very useful and powerful. They can command the elements, move items at range, and travel long distances with an effort of will and power. They are commonly called upon to create waypoints and enchanted items.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XSWaTr3.png)
Pegasi can fly, which in the world of Minecraft is an incredibly useful ability. They are particularly suited for building constructions in the sky, and have the ability to prevent blocks from falling to the ground as they do so. They can change the weather at will, and even call down a storm that strikes enemies with lightning from above. They make excellent scouts and harvesters of rare materials, substances like clay, pumpkins, and cacti.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WxCYZNo.png)
Zebras are mysterious wanderers, druids in command of nature as well as expert alchemists. They can tame animals at will, heal themselves and others, and call upon nature to help them. They have innate magical abilities that lets them cast a variety of nature based spells, and they can search for alchemical ingredients to fuel their brewing abilities. They can grow special tree types rare to Liquestria. They are expert herbalists and are proficient in water and nature magic, making them excellent gardeners and healers.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cTZL3Ms.png)
Griffons hail from a faraway land, and are uncommonly seen in Liquestria. They are proficient flyers, and moreover they are expert archers and warriors. They have the highest base damage of all the races, they can perform special fighting combos, and they can send monsters flying with the power of their roar alone. They are also completely immune to poison damage. Uniquely among the races in Liquestria, they are omnivorous, and actually gain significant bonuses from eating meat. They can see perfectly in the dark.![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/PWmqh9m.png)
