  • Time Flies...

    Yoooo long time no see.


    My current IGN is XenVoltz, but you’ll probably remember me as DDQ888 or FuzziCakz. I don’t play much of Minecraft anymore, but it’s dope to see you back.

  • forge issues

    As Luke said, make sure the mods are compatible with each other. Also make sure they are compatible with Forge. Some mods can only be used with Fabric or there are specific .jars that only work with Forge and vice versa. Lastly, make sure you have any dependent mods as well.


    Your mod list provided shows a lot of disabled mods. I would assume the issues you are having lie with those mods.

  • Implement an anarchy server

    Quote from Xen

    Ultimately though, it is going to be up to developers (and Wild of course) and if they’re willing to be on a constant cat and mouse chase for bugs and exploits.

    This is what we're already doing on Freedom-01

    Exactly. They are already struggling to keep up with Freedom-01. Adding an anarchy server would prolong the already backlogged development. Anarchy is going to come with tons more of bugs/exploits constantly that will probably not be fixed quickly and depending on the bug/exploit, it could be detrimental.

  • Nuclear war

    Quote from erin

    Nuclear war is extremely unlikely because it is mutually assured destruction. Everyone knows that if they send a nuke, it won't be long before there's one headed the other way.

    This is made under the assumption that the leaders of the countries involved in the situation think rationally.


    You have to consider some context. Putin is very egotistical and is currently losing a war in which he started. That’s like throwing the first punch in a fight, then end up getting your butt kicked. It’s embarrassing. In many situations, a person getting pummeled on the ground may pull out a weapon that could be lethal (such as a knife or a gun) and actually use it. Same thing with this situation. Russia is losing a lot of key territory that they took from Ukraine and are having a hard to capturing new territory. With the amount of time and money they have invested into this war, on top of all the sanctions they have received, I can’t see them just waving a white flag and calling it quits without a bang.


    Now I’m not saying that they will for sure use nuclear weapons and to go panic buy food and supplies, but there is definitely a real threat that should not be taken lightly.

  • Implement an anarchy server

    I’d honestly love to see an anarchy server implemented. The gamemode is fun and I believe it fits the name of the server. There are some minor restrictions that could definitely be implemented, taking away the complete “anarchy” aspect, but I don’t see that as a big deal. 2b2t will ban your username from priority queue if you are caught attempting to lag the server. Of course we probably won’t have a queue to join the server, but that’s just an example of how the most popular anarchy server still employs restrictions. Other than maybe some basic chat restrictions (such as blocking derogatory terms or spamming) and rules against using exploits or lag machines that could harm the server, I don’t see any other necessary restrictions.


    The last attempt at an anarchy server was relatively successful, apart from the getting banned when dying aspect. I suggested bringing back anarchy but simply not making it hardcore and Wild was very much against the idea.


    Ultimately though, it is going to be up to developers (and Wild of course) and if they’re willing to be on a constant cat and mouse chase for bugs and exploits. With the lack of access that developers have to the server and the already backed up development process, this is probably near impossible to do at the moment.

  • Give developers access to logs

    Vouch.


    It’s honestly mind boggling to me that they have not had access to logs this whole time. How are we supposed to expect development to move along quicker if the developers can’t even properly identify and fix bugs?

  • how the fuck do i not get bored on freedom 1

    A lack of a larger and consistent player base is probably one of the main reasons why many people get bored on the server. There’s also no real objectives to work towards. Most people just log on to screw around until they’re bored (which doesn’t take very long).


    Maybe try working on an actual project? The server is more of a place with tools that you can use to explore your imagination. Other than maybe participating in events or doing activities with friends, there’s not much else.

  • I want to learn Java

    There are a million resources to learn any programming language you want, my advice is to just pick one that works for you and see it all the way through.


    Also, if you have any knowledge with another language, then apply the logic to Java. Most programming languages use the same logic, just different syntax. Once you learn one, it becomes a lot easier to pick up others.

  • Roe v. Wade Officially Overturned by SCOTUS

    How do y’all feel about this?


    I personally think it is stupid to not guarantee these rights at a federal level. Abortion goes beyond people simply being immature and not having protected sex. Also, there have been some talks from one of the the justices to over turn same-sex marriage and potentially taking action on things such as contraceptive pills and birth control. What the hell is going through these people’s heads?

    ↩  videogamesm12 The whole reason some servers like 2b2t haven’t updated in years

    Interestingly enough, 2b2t has launched a test server running 1.18.2 with the original world (which seems to be going well so far) and has now allowed people to connect with 1.18.2 to the original server. Though, connecting to 1.12.2 2b2t with 1.18.2 can be kind of buggy.

  • Anarchy / Skyblock Discussion

    ↩ @'Ryan' By your argument anything we do is going to “Get boring” so should we just pack up and shut down now, save ourselves the effort? The point is to give people something different they can play on with friends, and jump between our game-mode offerings.

    No, that is not what I am saying. If our problem is keeping players active because they are getting bored of the freedom server, introducing a generic skyblock server is not the solution. They will most certainly get bored of it quickly (if they haven't already). I also feel like anarchy would fit well with the theme of the network. This community is notorious for using hacked clients and I assume skyblock will have some sort of restrictions against them, but they would of course be allowed on the anarchy server.

    ↩ @'Ryan' We killed Anarchy because it was a limited run event… There wasn’t community support to continue running it in any format, so we haven’t looked to re-launch it, and instead have been focusing on other more important things. It’s not to say Anarchy will never come back, but as I said at the time it’s not on the roadmap at the moment.

    Anarchy was killed (earlier than it was supposed to be) because of the "low-uptake" and I guess someone told you that nobody wanted an anarchy server (which is not true). Even under your feedback thread regarding the anarchy event, many people mentioned having more than one life or disabling the hardcore aspect completely (which would be my suggestion). Hardcore anarchy is for a server that can pull in a ton of players and maintain a constant player count, despite people dying and being banned for it. If we ban people for dying, that just kills the very little player base we have.

  • Anarchy / Skyblock Discussion

    ↩ @'Ryan' I don’t think replacing one gamemode that gets boring with another one that gets boring makes any sense. Skyblock is such a lame gamemode and no offense to the creator, but this just seems like another copy and paste skyblock server. This will not help in retaining players because they’re bored of the freedom server.


    Honestly, the anarchy idea was great other than the hardcore aspect. Many people suggested just unbanning everyone and continuing anarchy, but you scrapped the whole thing because you saw it as a failure because no one played on the server. The reality is, everyone was banned and no one COULD play on the server.

  • Let's talk about guns

    Guns are ultimately impossible to ban within the United States. Completely taking away the second amendment (I can promise you this will never happen) will lead to a civil war. There are too many guns in circulation and die-hard gun owners that will fight for their right to bear arms down to their very last breath.


    I do believe, to a certain extent, in the "good guys with guns" argument. IIRC, the elementary school did not even have a resource officer on the campus at the time of the shooting. Had there been an officer, the events may have unfolded differently. Another factor to look at is the response time the police had (which is currently being heavily scrutinized by everyone). They took around 45 minutes before getting inside the building and killing the active shooter. Again, had they acted sooner, the events may have unfolded differently.


    It is really hard to say what solutions there are to this problem we are having in the United States, but I do not think banning guns is a viable option. There needs to be a focus on mental health and gun safety. Also, there should be some sort of red flag in some sort of system when a person legally purchases a ton of guns, ammunition, and body armor. Restricting the type of guns that can be purchased by U.S. citizens (i.e. banning AR-15s but allowing handguns and shotguns) is tricky and could lead down a similar path as banning guns altogether because doing so would require people to surrender (some of) their guns.


    OFT: Admins, of all people, should not be immature and shitposting on this thread, especially in response to Lyicx's moderation post. You are an admin and should be setting a good example.
