On April 6, 2013 Serverus and I opened our little private family server to our online community. We hosted it from one of our home computers and were very pleased when we would see people log on. It was slow at first, a “busy” day meant having 8 people log on, but now our whitelist contains over 500 IGNs. With the Minecraft group being one of the most interactive and engaging groups we’ve been a part of, our humble little home has become a community of Awesome!

To celebrate our 2nd anniversary we will be bringing you home! Yes friends, the “Main” server is coming back. Permanently! As if that weren’t enough we’ve decided to give you a sweet homecoming gift as well. We’re bringing back the command of the week starting with everybody’s favorite: REPAIR!

Don’t worry Nu Nu, we haven’t forgotten you! For our newer members who call Nu Nu home and are not yet familiar with Main, we want you to enjoy this milestone with us, so we’re giving you REPAIR too! For one week everyone will be able to fix your tools, armor, and weapons simply by holding them in your hand and typing the command:

/repair

into the chat. Your items will revert back to 100% durability. Take advantage while you can, it’s only temporary, but don’t worry, we’ll bring it back again…eventually 😉

New changes to the old server…

Some things to remember about Main. Mob griefing is off so creepers will not do damage when they explode, endermen won’t steal your blocks, zombies won’t break down doors, and keep inventory is on. While all of that is great, keep in mind that diamonds are rare on this server, but we still have the bank if you’d like to exchange other blocks for them.

Another point of mention is that if you previously had creative access on this server, that will no longer be available to you. We have not completely removed the possibility of it though. You may apply for creative permissions on the Main server only if you have met all of the requirements. Please send your new request to us via the Contact Form. We will need to know what project you are working on, and how long you expect the project to take. You may not request creative to tackle an ocean monument. 😉 If we grant you permission to use creative and we find that you are abusing this power disciplinary action will be taken, including and up to removal from the servers depending on the severity of the abuse.

Bringing back the Main server is a long awaited and an exciting homecoming for some players, but even if you weren’t part of our group since the beginning there is still plenty of reason to log on and visit the original birth place of our community. Visit the original market’s Tour Shop and “Oooh” and “Ahhh” at some of our amazing builds!

 

Welcome home everyone!

Holidays are a great excuse for server shenanigans and all around good fun so it’s a good thing that Easter is upon us!

2015-04-04_09.54.11

 

We will be celebrating Easter with a very special “egg” hunt in the Nu Nu Market. Why do I keep putting the word egg in quotes you may ask? Well these are no ordinary eggs. Last year we used spawn eggs, but with mob griefing turned on for Nu Nu, we figured that would be most disastrous so don’t bother looking for those, there are none 🙂

If you were here for last year’s egg hunt you may remember that we hid player heads around for you to find and collect. We will be doing the same this year. We’ve also included some special ones as well.

So join us, Saturday April 4, 2015 at 6:00pm EST for this holiday event.

PLEASE NOTE: We will need to close the server at 5:30pm EST in order for the admins to hide the eggs and make sure we have everything ready to go.

One of the nice things we admins like to do for the players is recognize your birthdays. All you have to do is add your birthday in the comment section of our Birthday Doc in the group and on your special day the admins will gift you 30 levels of XP points along with one in-game item from the creative menu.

What we used to do was leave a gift box at your house for you to find the next time you logged on, but we were finding it hard to locate some command blocks, or found that some people just didn’t have one yet. So to make things easier we’re happy to announce that the new Birthday Celebration area is now OPEN!

You can find the Birthday Celebration display in the picnic area off the West Exit of the Command Tower (near the community garden). How it works is, this Mini Cake building in the center houses 6 separate and personalized command blocks for anyone having a birthday that day.

bday-2

On your birthday, enter the building and press the button for the command block with the sign with YOUR name on it (please do not press anyone else’s). You will be teleported to one of our celebration rooms where your gifts will be waiting. Use the exit command block to go back to the picnic area.

Gifts will only be held for 30 days or until the space is needed. You do not have to cash in your birthday books right away if you prefer to save the XP for a later time. Just don’t lose your book (they will not be replaced).

Feel free to use the picnic area to host birthday parties or other celebrations of your own! And as always…

NOTE: In group birthday shout outs are for anyone, but gifts are only available on PC. Sorry console players, we admins have no power off our servers. If you add your birthday to our doc, please note if you are only available on xbox, ps, or pocket editions.

Just a friendly reminder, Keep Inventory is now OFF and Mob Griefing is back ON!

dont die

We have been testing Spigot on the NuNu server for the past week. There were several corrections to command blocks made to avoid spawning in the floor or walls nearby. To avoid any loss of inventory during that time we enabled Keep Inventory for your convenience. We also noticed that Spigot allowed the mobs to actually be more aggressive, which they hadn’t been up until this point despite the raised difficulty, so we disabled Mob Griefing to give you all a chance to become more acclimated with them.

All the issues that were reported to us have been resolved so we have decided to put those game rules back to their original settings. Remember. NuNu has increased ore generation, but that comes with a higher level of risk. So enjoy the new difficulty and the diamonds, just play safe because the admins will not be replacing lost items.
