Pringle~SPARTA~ Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's something several of us have talked about for a bit. So, let's just do it, shall we? If interested, weigh in on which night this week works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringle~SPARTA~ Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm writing this as I explain it to you in TS, but here goes anyway... Basically, it's vanilla, hardcore minecraft. No Bukkit, no mods, no creative. We tend to work as a team to create a home and gather resources. "The Goal" tends to vary, but has been such things as "Get to the Nether", "Get to the End", "Defeat the Dragon", "Find a Stronghold", etc. BTW.. hardcore means, you die, you're banned for some period of time (right, guys?).

KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The most fun to me is when we play Survival Island. Essentially a small island in the middle of a vast ocean that you must stay on to meet a goal. That island will have severely limited resources (1 patch of grass, 1 tree, mostly sand/gravel, etc) and if ANYONE dies, game is over. We've played it where the group has a pool of 5 lives, or each person has only 1 extra life. But whats essential is that you play together, pool resources, and stay alive. Monsters become so much more lethal, falling and taking a few hearts can weight heavily, not having someone focused on food early can lead to starvation, etc. The banned for X time was only doable when we had a Bukkit module that could handle it, unless vanilla now has this as a setting. I have made a dozen or so islands for us to play on.. some of them a traditional island, others being literally chunks of land in mid-air with nothing below but death. I'd be up for playing sometime, but still enjoying GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, vanilla hardcore in multiplayer does ban you upon death: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardcore_(game_mode)#Multiplayer. it seems to be permanent, but the Op could remove the ban after a set period. But, ending the game on death by anyone puts more importance on teamwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
