Simplanet, AfterNET's private Minecraft Server

Hi everyone. Many regulars from AfterNET have been playing minecraft, and you can to!

How To Play

  • Go to http://www.minecraft.net/ and purchase minecraft.
  • Make sure java is installed on your PC
  • Connect to server mc.simplanet.org

Rules and Tips

  • We are a friendly bunch who prefer teamwork and cooperation.
  • Don't build near or modify others builds without permission.
  • Don't take from boxes without permission.
  • Be a good citizen. Noone wants to spend hours collecting materials just to have them lost.
  • There are several community projects and swap areas/free stuff boxes (take something leave something)
  • Don't build near spawn if you are uncomfortable with newbies wrecking things.
  • IRC - We all gather on IRC via irc.afternet.org channel #minecraft, and you should too. There is even an IRC↔minecraft gateway bot.

Features of Note

  • Everything was built by hand with no cheats. We never use /item or /tp etc oper commands except to fix technical glitches. Everything you see in the game was made 'legit' including community projects. (We do, however have some mods wich change things a bit, such as adding drops to some items)
  • We have a web map which is updated hourly. You can view this via http://mc.simplanet.org/map. The player positions on the map are live.

Landmarks

Tell an editor if you would like your house/project listed here

  • Spawn - Spawn is a giant compass of glass over water and lava
  • Saucer - Rubin built a large round disk in the sky as a part of his mountain home (visible east of spawn)
  • Spleefing Arena - South of spawn is our PVP spleefing arena, complete with synchorized fighter doors and a regenerating cobble floor over a pit.
  • Lighthouse - One of several lighthouses, features a rotating beam visible from many landmarks near spawn.

Economy

We are playing with adding an economy to make large builds with more unique types of blocks possible. Below are the proposed trading values for some items: Please discuss your thoughts on IRC.
