    Started playing on TF in 2013. Got banned and forgot about the server. Early 2014, I started playing more often and eventually became a Super Admin on May 5th, 2014 via SPaS from flippy (not sure if he’s on this forum, but thank you for the SPaS). After a couple of attempts, I was promoted to Super Telnet Admin on October 15th, 2014, then Telnet Clan. Admin on December 3rd, 2014. After like 10 tries at getting Senior Admin, I just gave up. I went inactive anyways, so it didn’t really matter. I was around 10-11 years old when I started playing on this server, now I am in college. Crazy how time just flies.

    It’s quite frustrating to see the server die like this. One of the oldest Minecraft servers and communities is about to wither away because Wild doesn’t have the patience nor time to invest in it. It should really just get passed onto someone more willing, but hey, that’s not my decision.

    This server will forever have a special place in my heart. It was fun while it lasted. May its memory live on.

    Thanks to all who made it fun and thank you to the admins and developers who put in their own free time to help maintain the server and make it better over the years.

    I tried fighting this battle a long time ago. It’s pretty ridiculous that there still hasn’t been a basic chat filter to block simple words such as “n*gger” or other racial slurs. The most common—ignorant and honestly stupid—reason for not implementing it has been “it’s easy to bypass”. Mind you, people were spamming the living hell out of the servers with the most egregious things that could’ve easily been blocked and prevented.

    It’s an obvious vouch for me, but I highly doubt this will ever happen with the mindset some folks have.

    EDIT:

    I’d also like to add that there really can’t be many false positives to a basic chat filter. If someone’s message is blocked because it detects something, then it probably shouldn’t be said. In the event that there are legitimate false positives, we literally have a team of developers that can more than likely fix the issue.

    Using *potential* false positives as a reason to not implement something as simple as a basic chat filter is absolutely ridiculous. Y’all might as well stop updating TF because WHAT IF something doesn’t work like y’all want it to? It’s not like you can make adjustments to plugins or anything…

    Also, admins don’t possess the capability of a computer nor are they online 24/7. They cannot always be there to stop someone from saying something. This chat also is sent into Discord, so that chat history is saved in more than one place. No one wants to be on a server where the chat has to be cleared constantly and is slammed with notifications about people being muted. Let admins deal with the people who attempt to bypass the chat filter, not make them the literal chat filter.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
