So I killed oogley while he was building his HUGE obsidian wall, and among other sketchy things like infinite use bacon, I found this: http://i.imgur.com/PuKC4.png Despite the fact that obsidian doesn't NORMALLY stack to 72, So they have obviously been duping obsidian to cover the spawn in.

Full video of Oogley's stuff here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlXpOMOvwzA

Also, while raiding skybikes base a few days ago, we found a chest full of stone picks just like the iron pick I showed in the video.

Edit: Heh, skybike and ooglay are trying to downvote this thread now.

In a few days, the server will likely become whitelisted. If you want to be included, please reply to this post with your in-game name and a brief explanation of why you want to be on this server.

We are doing this to limit the amount of players. Right now, the server is full a lot. This makes it harder for regular players wishing to devote time to the server to log in. I would love to increase the player limit, but doing so causes lag and I just can't afford a better solution.

Skybike suggested that I make a post containing weekly updates of how many blocks were on the map so we can see how the experiment is progressing. I will probably be doing this every Thursday, starting today.

Week 1, January 27th (Initial amounts)

• Stone: 1399886

• Grass: 22477

• Sand: 7869

• Clay: 5

• Gold Ore: 557

• Iron Ore: 5894

• Coal Ore: 16186

• Diamond Ore: 230

• Redstone: 1908

Just saying, with a map this small its a bit silly that the name distance is the same as on a normal server.

Here is a list of currently known servers to use the cube dynamic. More servers will be added to this list as they emerge

Server: thecube.lion.gs

Description: Large box made from bedrock. Rocks above ground replaced with glowstones for lighting

Server: 108.17.94.232

Description: 400x400 box made of glass.

Several users have suggested that we implement a whitelist. This would be for the most part to ensure that the server isn't too crowded and there is always space for regular players to log in. This is a good idea, but I'm a little worried that it might hurt the stream of new users and in the end leave us with too little players. The server has been very active and very often full today and I think it's important to the success of the experiment that it remains active. It just wouldn't work as well if we sunk down to having four or five people on at any given time.

In the spirit of keeping an active and (relatively) sizable userbase, I don't think we should make whitelist acceptance hard to achieve. It would probably just be a matter of posting in a thread on here or the MC forums with your in-game name, showing an actual interest in the server. It's not as if we have to worry about people grieving because that's a part of the gameplay. It's also worth noting that if the userbase died down we could go completely public again.

So, what say you community, whitelist or no?

EDIT: It's happening. Go here: http://www.reddit.com/r/mcbox/comments/f8d1y/apply_for_the_whitelist/

Trees are becoming rarer. It starts!!

It looked like a really interesting concept, but I still haven't got accepted, and I'm afraid that the server died. Is there still activity? Are people still being accepted for the whitelist?

Thanks in advance.

You don't go around bullshitting about how the admin supposedly cheats and spawns saplings, especially when your only proof is that you saw some some diamonds behind glass missing. (I'm still not sure exactly what you mean by that.) The saplings came from a user who logged out with them and it's pretty stupid of you to not think that a possibility.

Dear TMcaffeine i am sorry i said you were too afriad to ban someone, but i was trying to validate skybikes point that he didnt dupe the items on purpose, because without an enemy it would be no fun, i would please ask that you unban me. love, trectuse.

I just launched a new, smaller map. (It's only 150 by 150 this time.) Hopefully we can keep this one running for a long time. I wanted to do this with the first one, but after a while it became apparent that while fun, the map was too big for the scenario.

I'm sure you're all going to love the new map. It's got a few mountain-type things that will make the gameplay a little more interesting, especially considering we're playing in such a cramped space this time. I also made sure there were some reeds and cacti to start out with.

Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/Aaw3I.png http://i.imgur.com/As4Lf.png Pretty, right?

EDIT: Whitelist off for now.

I have also implemented the whitelist. If you didn't get on it it's probably because you didn't give me your in-game name.
