1.18.2 Survival

Like always, we'll be having a server with the new update,

but just this time I wanted to go back to adding a bunch of crazy shit so it's essentially like we're playing modded, but we aren't really.

(Let's just be honest with ourselves, base 1.18 is pretty boring)

Some important things to note is that mob griefing is on and keep inventory is off, and I don't plan on giving people get out of jail free cards this time either,

 so don't lose your items

Don't complain about any lag, there's a lot of shit

(also enable server resource packs and use optifine please oh please)

This one is a little lighter on the rules, because I want you guys to be able to do what you want (as long as you don't fuck around with others too much (unless it's mutual))

1. Don't steal from other players
   You can take from them if you ask permission, but generally, it's just a bit of a dick move

2. Don't hunt down and repeatedly kill other people
   It's sort of mean and can ruin the fun for someone else if you just sit around and repeatedly kill them when they don't want you to

3. Don't mess around with other people's builds
   Sometimes people put time into building things and they don't want other people to mess things up

4. Don't go too far away
   This is less of a rule and more of a suggestion, don't kill the server, there is too much shit in this world

The Dynmap plugin functions as a world map that is viewable in your internet browser, and it's automatically updated.

You can view the server's map at http://serverip:8123/ (this map is no longer functional for the time being)

Dynmap's features include both top down and an angled 3D render of the overworld, Nether and End, (you can select different maps from the pull out menu on the right side of the page), displayed player locations and a text feature where you can send and view game chat messages from your browser.
 

There is a whole load of mechanic changes and additions as this server uses the True Survival data pack.
I'll only be covering some of the more major changes here, go visit the data pack's wiki here for a lot more info.

There have been some important changes to various survival aspects, some examples are:

• Torches now have to have some form of kindling (i.e. paper, leaves, grass, etc.) included in the crafting recipe

• Torches can also be crafted with a fire charge and a stick instead of a piece of coal/charcoal, the stick and some kindling. This method also yields an extra 2 torches

• Fortune on axes will cause logs to drop 3-4 planks, with higher levels of fortune increasing the chance for the number of planks to multiply

• Mining stone and deepslate has a chance to drop iron nuggets

• A few basic monsters have been buffed such as zombies giving players hunger when they attack or creepers giving nearby players slowness

Now, a lot of the hostile mobs throughout the game have a chance to drop emeralds.

This chance varies based on the mob's rarity and difficulty, but these chances are affected by looting.

The reason for these mobs to drop emeralds is that some significant progression items now take emeralds to craft, these items include:

• Eyes of ender - Need an emerald for each

• Enchanting table - Needs an emerald block instead of the obsidian at the bottom middle

• Ender chest - Needs 2 emerald blocks replacing either both obsidian in the middle row or both obsidian in the middle column 

By placing an item frame on the top side of a crafting table and putting an emerald in it, you can create a custom crafter.

Access the custom crafter by right-clicking on the top of it (it can still function as a regular crafting table by clicking the sides or bottom), and you'll be able to craft some new items added by the data pack.

There have also been some QoL crafting changes such as:

• Chains are now cheaper to craft

• Chainmail armour can be crafted with chains

• Slimeballs are craftable with spider eyes and water

• Sugar can be crafted with 4 sweet berries

• Coal and charcoal can be crafted into black dye

Natural regeneration is gone, sucks to suck.
Doesn't mean you can't get health back, you can still use potion effects and stuff, but the data pack adds a few new ways to heal:

• You can regain 6 health by throwing a log onto a campfire (every player within 6 blocks of the fire gets healed)

• You can do the same with soul campfires but using either of the nether stems

• There is a new item added called "Healing Salve" which can be crafted at the custom crafter. Putting the healing salve in your offhand will use it and heal 4 health

• Killing boss minions (yes, the Wither and Ender Dragon summon minions now) will heal 4 health

• Every three minutes you will regenerate 1 health if you are at over 16 hunger and in an area with a light level of 8 or higher

This data pack also adds things that will take away hunger, and although it sounds unfair, because of natural regeneration being off, you essentially only have to eat so you can sprint and avoid starving.

• Tossing a log on a campfire will cost some hunger

• Sleeping, which grants the player absorption, will also take a lot of hunger

• Most zombies will give you hunger when they attack, you can become immune to this by wearing a full set of chainmail (which is now craftable)

• Husks will give you the same hunger effect as well as nausea for 10 seconds, but wearing chainmail won't grant immunity to either of these effects

• Wearing a diamond or netherite chestplate will cause you to lose a little bit of hunger when you attack

Again, look at True Survival's wiki for more info about all the gameplay changes and additions

Although Minecraft 1.18 has some crazy cool generation, it's still a little bit boring.

Basically every vanilla world I generated for some reason was either all ocean, or all plains with a few little hills here and there, and a world like that isn't fun to play on. That's why I decided to say fuck basic world generation, time to use Terralith, which is basically the best world gen mod/data pack.

It adds a shit load of cool new biomes that use all sorts of blocks from the vanilla game, with all these impressive biomes blending seamlessly with each other and the vanilla biomes.

And a lot more cool places, but I can only spend so long going around taking screenshots

Hopefully this server works out more than some of the others we've done (1.17 make me :( a lot), and lasts for a while,
but there's not much I can do to force you guys to play.

Overall, there is a lot of things to do with this one and I'm happy with that, and there's still the opportunity that I might eventually add more stuff for us to play around with.

Can we just not commit war crimes and cause other people (except Westley I guess) to stop playing this time?

Ask me for IP I guess (and I gotta add you to whitelist too)
Had to start doing this because a few ne'er-do-wells were slipping on and trying to be naughty.
