@Cileklim I thought more command blocks meant more lag? Why not remove it if its not being used at all?

They were static and don't really cause lag. Also, there was only one.

@_Haxington_ If Crafty wanted them for reference he could have simply written the command that spawns them on a text file so he could copy and paste it any time he liked.

It wasn't left for reference, it slipped through the cracks. There was many custom villagers and sadly one got missed at some point.

@Chilled__Chaos 1. What was the longest downtime the server has had at once, how long and why was the cause (This answer could actually vary since, you know there's a problem right now.

I think the longest downtime was when our previous provider's network took a shit and we were down for like 4 days.

@Chilled__Chaos 2. Is Crafty the only one fixing the problem right now because you guys are talking like it.

It's kinda all my fault regarding the rollback's and stuff and I'm the only one who can and is fixing it. "We" (the staff of CraftyMynes) refer to each other as "we".

@Chilled__Chaos 3. I would just like to say, CraftyMyner, thank you so much for doing all this for the sake of the server. This must be some very frustrating and tiresome work. Don't forget to at least have a very short break so your back doesn't get all numb. And also thanks to all the staff aswell. Good Luck on fixing the server! :)

Thanks! It was very stressful not being able to do anything as I was only on my phone when this was all happening (using ssh from your phone is not easy, especially when you don't have data). When I got home, most of the time was waiting for the map to transfer from the backup server to the main server.

@JustJams How long did it take you, approximately to get the first version of craftymynes out?

2 days but it was a complete mess, I took a few more days to fix some of the issues and released again. I am always working on it, there is no "versions".

@JustJams Is there any old players you wish would come back and play?

There is quite a few players that spent a lot of time on teamspeak that I wish could come back.

@JustJams Why are the donation ranks named 'VIP' and 'VIP+', Why not something custom like 'CraftyKing' and 'CraftyKing+'?

It was the first thing I did, its easy to say, easy to write places (like chat, progames, and signs) and it's very self explaintory. I might change it at some point, like I did with CraftyCoins -> CraftyCredit.

I don't know/don't have time to read half the conversations on here.

When I rolled back I forgot to delete the old copy of the map, it filled up our ssd and couldn't save anything.

We have many backups, it was just a matter of finding one that was good and transferring it to the server from one of our backup servers.

We use OVH's best 6700k OC plan with 2 480gb SSD's in raid 1 for redundancy, in hindsight, I should have just kept one SSD for the server and one SSD for an onsite backup but it's a bit too late to do that now.

The villagers were killed but for some reason one of the command blocks were left with a button on it allowing a player to respawn the villager.

We don't use OPNodes and adding a 1tb hd is not possible and upgrading to a plan that can support a 1tb hd would force us to use a xeon cpu that would have less single threaded performance.

It turns out that you can't have 2 100gb+ worlds + backups of each in a 500gb ssd. The server ran out of space and corrupted the files. I am uploading a backup and fixing, hopeful we will be up soon.

Before you guys get all pissed off that we are deleting posts, it's necessary to keep the clutter and confusion down to a minimum while we figure out what is going on.

Earlier today someone placed a bunch of lava/water flows in the end spawn, I turned on nuker to remove them but I had to go to school. For some reason, a button was left on one of the spawners that allowed a player to respawn one of the custom villagers. I was called in to remove the villager but was unaware that I still had my nuker enabled. I teleported to the home portal in the end and it broke that and also made a huge crater in spawn. In efforts to attempt to fix the hole in spawn, I was unaware that everyone was falling out of the world. Due to the fact that many people have died and lost their stuff and we can't be for certain that the villager hadn't been taken advantage of, we have rolled back just a little bit.

Please don't go making 50 random forum posts, one will suffice.

@CodyJProductions Would you ever do a reddit AMA? Or have you?

Wut, why reddit?

Its a radius including the chunk you are in.

@pand1024 Last time I tested I could only see 4 chunks in each direction like so:
◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻
◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻

So wouldn't that make the render distance 4?

@KatcheD What's your prediction on people leaving Earth to Terra-form another planet?

Mars might get an outpost/base but right now stuff is just too far.
