Mrozak Posted August 15, 2025 Report Posted August 15, 2025 (edited) A new server. Almost no players yet We do have some players (36). Currently running 1.21.0-rc6 while waiting for 1.21 stable release, and deciding what mods to use, world settings, etc. (open to potential players feedback). 2025-09-10: server switched to 1.21.1. 2025-10-13: server switched to 1.21.4. If you are looking for a server you instantly hop into and play on forever without any interruptions, this may not be it (yet). When the 1.21 stable is released, we will start a new long world on it, but right now we are still figuring everything out (including how many players we can handle, with possibility to upgrade if needed). But hey! on the upside, it gives you a chance to influence how will the server look like (no guarantees, but we listen to reason). Server is hosted in Germany, so our friends across the pond will have higher latency (~150ms), but i was told it is playable (subjective, YMMV). Server should be Survival first, with optional dedicated Creative zone far away enough from main spawn so the two won't clash (couldn't make it work the way i wanted, due to a bug in the game. So this is not a thing anymore, until the problem is fixed). Light RP is welcome, something super serious... depends, but right now everything is up for discussion. Discord server (like the server, our discord is also work in progress, and open to feedback): https://discord.gg/TwHMDmMtTk Current mod list (more will be added soon): Spoiler Cosmetics / Crafting - Banners - Custom Flowerpots - Plumpkins - Reforged Tools - Tabards - Tabards Emblems Crafting / Furniture - Braziers - Cartwright´s Caravan - Medieval expansion patch - More Torch Holders - Stone Railings - Tankards and Goblets - Vintage Scarecrows Library - Common lib - Config lib - ImGui Quality of Life - Auto Map Markers - BedSpawn - Carry On - From Golden Combs - Prospect Together - Shelf Obsessed - Simple HUD Clock Patch - Simple Pottery Wheel - StepUp (continued) - Temporally Stable Tweaks - Zoom Button - Reborn Technology - Millwright - Primitive Survival - Translocator Engineering - Redux Utility - Notice Board - QP's Chisel Tools - RP Voice Chat - Stone Quarry Weapons - Attribute Rendering Library - Combat Overhaul (disable Immersive First person Mode in your game settings!) - Combat Overhaul Armory - Crossbows - Firearms (unsure if we keep it, if yes, we will have to tweak it somewhat) - Overhaul lib - Quivers And Sheaths World Generation - Better Ruins - Better Traders - Fields and Plateaus - Plains and Valleys - Rivers EDIT 2025-08-25: As many, if not all of you know, 1.21.0 stable was recently released. We also know about it, and we are eagerly awaiting all/most mods we use to get updated for 1.21.0 so we can finally start the new long term world on 1.21.0. While waiting (and still playing on 1.21.0-rc.6), we are discussing how the future 1.21 world should look like, what settings to use, etc. I expect it take a few more days until we are running 1.21.0, so i ask anybody to please be patient, and engage in our discussions to shape what the future world will look like. EDIT 2025-08-29: We switched to 1.21.0 stable. So far runs great, but never say hop until you drop... EDIT 2025-09-10: Server updated to 1.21.1 EDIT 2025-09-19: Corrected the "Creative" related info. EDIT 2025-10-13: Server updated to 1.21.4 Edited October 13, 2025 by Mrozak updated server version
Mrozak Posted August 20, 2025 Author Report Posted August 20, 2025 (edited) Player count slowly raising, we have 12 players now, hopefully the trend continues. Some server settings were changed (no "more sideways soil instability", which makes me sad, but the people have spoken - see... this is why we need more people, so we can start a new vote and end this new reign of stable dirt). Regarding the population... at the beginning, everybody was clumped roughly at the same area, but it didn't took long until two separate settlements were established, and third one is in process of... well, nobody knows really what's going in the third one. The third one is weird. It was started by who appears to be some strange hermit, who moved into a decrepit old abandoned village and instead of rebuilding it, he seems to be doing everything he can to discourage anybody from even visiting the place. We only just heard from a wandering trader who dared venture there, and while the business transaction itself was a great success, hospitality-wise his short stay left a lot to be desired. Some travelers also reported they saw some strange ominous lights above that village, and somehow it looked even more abandoned and cursed than it used to. But other than that it was a smooth sailing so far. Edited August 20, 2025 by Mrozak

Mrozak Posted August 24, 2025 Author Report Posted August 24, 2025 (edited) A little update... We have 18 members now, which isn't many, but we are already seeing some groups being formed. One group is building a castle up north, trying to rebuild the Forlorn Hope knights order. Call me cynical, but i think they are just about to repeat the history. Also, i don't mean to smear their reputation before they even got one, but last time i was there... i'll be honest, it seemed more like a cult than a knightly order. Or maybe it's just me, not knowing how a knightly order looks like. I saw people working hard under a scorching sun, building walls and fortifications, barely allowed to have any breaks, and i didn't see any water guy to serve refreshments to the workers. There was a few so called knights in shiny armor, strutting around like peacocks and shouting orders at the poor laborers. One of them, i think, was trying to impress me, kept wearing some stolen crown as if he would be the king, talking eloquently like a noble, but he reminded me of a robber's baron more than anything else. I could be wrong, but something is fishy about these knights... even the castle is called "Fishman's Castle"! So, i don't know... be careful if you go there. Second is the Bald Hill village. The village got it's name after a forest fire which devastated a large swath of forest on a nearby hill. This was the first settlement established on this world, and it isn't far from the main spawn, so it is usually the first stop for many newcomers. But lately, it seems to me, people come and go. Some people even left to join that Forlorn Hope "order", and i hear at least one more intends to do the same in near future. So the village is always looking for new people, somebody to run the local inn, etc. The village is rather basic and a bit chaotic, clearly showing there was no planning involved in the early stages. It was also built on top of some church ruins, which are still there, towering above as a sad and eerie reminder of the past glory. The tavern, or inn (it has only one room for rent, that i saw) looks nice, but that's about all the good stuff i can say about this village. One more thing! They have a bear in a cage there, i guess as an attraction. Don't worry, they take a good care of it, feeding it... which... now that i think about that, i wonder.. - did all those people really left to join the Forlorn Hope? or is perhaps something more sinister taking place here? So, as you can see, there aren't any good options. There was a third place, which was an old, decrepit, broken village, run by a loner who mostly kept to himself. But that is gone... one day it just went POOF! and was gone, no trace of it left, as if it was never there. Maybe some temporal disaster took place there, maybe the village still exists in some other world, some other dimension perhaps? Who can say... It will likely remain a mystery forever.

DracDracono Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 do i have to join the discord to join the server?
Mrozak Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Posted August 25, 2025 1 hour ago, DracDracono said: do i have to join the discord to join the server? Yes. The server is not publicly listed, so you need to know the host address (which you will find in the Discord). Also, the server is also using a whitelist, so you need to get whitelisted (post your player name in the relevant channel on the Discord). And you need to stay on the Discord - we use it to communicate changes, talk mods and server configs, run polls regarding mods to add, discuss and decide how the server should be, help with issues, etc. etc. It would be EXTREMELY impractical to just join the server without also joining the Discord too.
Mrozak Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Posted August 25, 2025 (edited) You do not need to engage in any conversations on the Discord. But you need to stay a member of the discord, because it also helps me track who is whitelisted, who is not, etc. If you leave the discord, you will be removed from the whitelist, because i don't want the server to become a mess where i don't know who's who and what's what. Discord makes a lot of things easier for me. Edited August 25, 2025 by Mrozak
DracDracono Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 will there be a point when i can join without having discord?
DracDracono Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 i try to not be on discord if possible
Mrozak Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Posted August 25, 2025 Just now, DracDracono said: will there be a point when i can join without having discord? Aaah, so the problem is that you do not have a discord at all? Well, i think we can make an exception, but i think it may be even more inconvenient for you than for me. Obviously, managing the server is not my "job", i do it in free time, and it takes a lot of time as is, even now, and i expect we are about to get even more players, which will add more questions i need to answer and problems to solve... Point being: i won't be able to engage the same way here, i can post the most important info or changes, but anybody not on the Discord will be likely significantly behind what is going on with the server. So, it would have to be largely up to you, to ask here if you run into problems, and then i am afraid wait patiently for my reply which may take some time (i tend to keep checkign the forums frequently, but i cannot guarantee to keep doing that all the time). So, if you want to give it a try, we can see how that goes.
Mrozak Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Posted August 25, 2025 Sure, no rush. Who knows, maybe by the time you make up your mind, we'll be already running the 1.21 stable, which may save you some hassle :-D
VickieVixen Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 Heya I'd be curious about joining, fairly new to the game as well! (I'm still on the older version since I couldn't figure out how to update the game cause linux is weird)

(I'm still on the older version since I couldn't figure out how to update the game cause linux is weird) My Linux days are long gone (though likely to return soon), so while i cannot help you, i think others in our Discord can. I know there are at least 3 people who run the game on Linux, and i don't think they would refuse to help if you ask. So, if you are still struggling with it, feel free to join and ask. Just please be patient if you wouldn't get access to all channels right after joining. I assign the necessary role manually, so if i am not there, you may need to wait. It doesn't happen often, that somebody would have to wait a long time, but it can, so don't let that discourage you.
Mrozak Posted August 27, 2025 Author Report Posted August 27, 2025 (edited) We are getting ready to switch to the 1.21.0. If all goes well, i think we will make the jump in one, two, max. three days from now. Some players also established the first more serious RP faction, alongside another slightly less serious. So RP is now a thing on the server, and i hope we soon see more of that and more factions to emerge too. That said, nobody is forced into RP, and any who would not wish to participate can still coexist with the others as before. All seems fine for now. Edited August 27, 2025 by Mrozak
Mrozak Posted August 28, 2025 Author Report Posted August 28, 2025 Server is now on 1.21.0. Same mods, everything good so far. New world looks nice too. We moved the Forlorn Hope faction castle from the old world into the new one. I expect some other builds to follow the suit, waiting for anybody to pester me about it People are starting to look for places to settle. Not much else to say.

Hope you take me in Of course we take you in, everyone is welcome (until they are not - but that didn't happen to anybody yet :)). Just get on the discord, wait a bit to get the perms to see all channels (rarely, if i am not online, it can take minutes to hours, depends), then post your player name so we can whitelist you, and voila... easy.
Mrozak Posted September 11, 2025 Author Report Posted September 11, 2025 Added some more mods to the server: BedSpawn Crossbows Medieval expansion patch Stone Railings Tankards and Goblets Vintage Scarecrows
Mrozak Posted September 14, 2025 Author Report Posted September 14, 2025 Just a little update... The discord is now at 61 members, out of which only about 35 are active players. Number of Online players usually peaks at around 13 (17 was a recent record, not repeated since, i think). Average number of Online players would be 7 (not including ~3 hours a day when the server is empty). Some new factions emerged, current list is: - Forlorn Hope - Bald Hill village - Cat's Gold Prospecting and Mining Company - Duncrimn Dwarves - The Imperium (seems currently inactive) We will be adding some new mods tomorrow, hopefully also our custom tweaks mod (if ready). Server runs fine, without any major incidents (worst thing so far was someone's armor getting eaten by the "Aged armor stand" - will be looking into it).
Mrozak Posted September 15, 2025 Author Report Posted September 15, 2025 (edited) Added some new mods (and updated bunch of others): Cartwright´s Caravan Custom Flowerpots Firearms (unsure if we keep it, if yes, we will have to tweak it somewhat) Millwright More Torch Holders Tabards Edited September 15, 2025 by Mrozak
