SERVER. BACK. UP.
Posted 8 years agoUpdate 7/28

Hey guys!
Server still up and running at
73.53.28.236.
I've updated our plugins and removed buggier ones, mainly completely switching to PEX instead of bPerms.
Permissions have also been updated, and are now working perfectly.
Congrats to MantaPanther, our new Moderator, and BlitzenXmas, who has been promoted to Veteran.
Let me know in a PM or msg in game if you think you should be promoted.
The perks of being a Veteran are that you keep XP on death, you can send teleport requests, multiple homes, and you can use /back to return to where you were last.

Server progress!

-=-=-
So, server is up here still, but on shaky internet. This shouldn't be too much of a problem at the server's current size, but should it grow, it might need dedicated hosting.
So far, we're having major troubles with bPermissions, because sometimes it will work, and sometimes it will flop. Not exactly sure why, it worked great before.
Probably going to switch to PermissionsEx. As for MCMMO, still undecided, though it does add more elements of gameplay, like omnihil pointed out, it's pretty grindy (but isn't minecraft pretty grindy by itself?).
That's about it as far as updates go. Also, I did add access to /home, /spawn, and /sethome, but bpermissions keeps acting up. Will fix soon.

Oh, and veterans (those who were on the old server) will get access to /tpa. You can also get veteran status by either playing a lot or playing for a while.

Ideas for PLUGINS?! MCMMO mainly.
Posted 8 years ago-====-
What would you guys think of MCMMO? I'm starting to think Minecraft is getting a bit tiresome in Vanilla mode.
What do you guys think?
MCMMO: MCMMNO or MCMMYES?
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/mcmmo/
Any other plugin ideas?
Anyway.

We're BACK! Minecraft server up!

Posted 10 years agoTo Dispel Some Rumors...
Posted 10 years ago
Hello there, here.
Apparently, our old server that was hosted by beastnode was repurposed
to a different customer, leaving our IP (mc.foxblocks.co) to redirect to
his server, instead of the one currently being fixed.
There have been rumors going around that I, , sold
the server to some random jerk and walked away as it burned. First,
I would like to clarify that I did not sell the server at all, and that all of the
rumors could have been stopped if the previous journal I posted was referred
to. In addition, members of the community could have messaged me through
Steam or Skype, as I publicly display this information and encourage you to
notify me through these faster means.
It was not until the current server host messaged me telling me that I was being
a dick and banning everyone that I realized something was amiss- several hours
after this began. I even received a rude note and a reddit journal about it. Heh.
If you still want clarification after this, refer to the previous journal or add me on
Steam or Skype to discuss.
Fox out.
MinecraftFurs Server.
Posted 10 years ago
Yo yo yo, here. fo shizzle.
As you might already know, the server is down.
Why? Because I'm a terrible person, and a poor person at that. I have no money
to pay for the server anymore. Luckily, one member of the community has
very, very, very generously volunteered to host the server for me, as it does
not require too many resources to run (we're a small server!). Note, this does
not mean the server is changing hands, just the HOST. I'm not going anywhere.
(I'm sure some of you are not too thrilled about that, but bear with me.)
Unfortunately, there is still the process of server migration; I have to acquire the map
from our old server host, beastnode (might I say they have pretty excellent
servers and service especially), and then transplant it to the new server and configure
a bunch of permissions and other plugins. I'm fairly certain you are all familiar with the
process *cough* furaffinity *cough*, meaning this will take a day or two.
Now, the worse/possiblygood news. 1.8 is coming out soon, and as you all know, the
map is a bit outdated. I will be resetting the map as soon as 1.8 bukkit comes out.
Complete. Hard. Reset. HOWEVER. I will allow people to bring certain items through
a sort-of "ark" full of chests.
Back to good news... because of the new server, I will be removing the world boundary
restriction plugin. You can explore as far as you want.
And then the bad news again... just kidding. Have fun, kids.
-K reporting out-
MinecraftFurs needs your help... Not money though.
Posted 10 years ago
Alright everyone, here.
I have not been paying attention to the server due to personal issues (college), and it makes sense to me that it really will not ever be possible for me to manage it by myself. For one, I am not getting any financial support (aside from a single donation a few months ago), but that is not the main issue. The main problem is that I do not have anyone helping manage the server, such as taking care of griefers, building around spawn, and general admin-work. I would much rather have the server be ruled by the MinecraftFurs community, but this brings up the issue of trust. I need to have players that are dedicated and willing to help moderate, and that I can trust to make proper decisions- not just solve problems by banning. The new moderators would need to be able to contact me directly through Skype or Steam, and must be responsible and dedicated users. I understand you have lives as well though, and I do not expect you to be on 24/7.
To summarize, I cannot do this by myself. I need moderators and admins that are dedicated.
I would much rather you guys help work on the server than just make a bunch of false promises to you all and not act on them for months.
If you are interested to be a moderator on the server, please fill out a small form and PM MinecraftFurs. This is a simple task. If you post your form in the comments, you will not be considered. Ask any questions you have in the comments section.
There are a few benefits of being an admin/moderator:
1. You have a direct say in the direction of the server and how it is run.
2. Most of the time, it is fun, and you have a lot more options (playing on other worlds, creative mode)...
3. You can contribute to the server and community and make a difference in others' experiences.
4. Many more...
Do not worry, this is just a simple little application
or whatever you want to call it. Just fill it out as best as
you can, as I want to know more about you. Thank you
very much for taking your time, I really appreciate it.
Note: Age, Gender, and whatnot are not considered. I do not care if you are 12, as long as you can be a good admin.
Things that I DO consider/like seeing in admins:
Loyal, follows rules
Not power-hungry/has self-control
Good people skills
Decent or better building skills
Common sense...
(Copy and Paste this into a PM to MinecraftFurs.)
In-Game Name*:
Skype/Steam Name (Please indicate which platform; both are appreciated.):
Previous Admin/Mod Experience(On other servers, other games, etc.)*:
Previous Minecraft Experience(Builds, Stories, etc.)*:
How long have you been playing on the server*:
How often you can play a week*:
(Please be honest and thorough. I don't mind if you can only go on for an hour each day, but the more, the better.)
Why do you want to be an Admin/Mod?*:
Suggestions? Questions? We want your feedback!
Posted 10 years ago
Hello!
As you all know, the server was down for a few weeks,
and then was brought back up just a week or so ago.
It isn't nearly as populated as it was before, and before
I begin advertising in an attempt to bring traffic up,
I would like some general feedback, and some suggestions of what I could/should do.
Some feedback that would be very helpful:
What should we do in 1.7? New map? Keep old map?
Any plugins that should be used?
(Note: Nothing game changing, this is a primarily PvE semi-vanilla survival server; e.g. no 'Factions' or 'iConomy')
Suggestions for map management.
Suggestions for admin tasks, or how one should get admin in the first place.
Suggestions for ranks, or what donors should get.
Server back up tonight...
Posted 10 years agoServer Status Update...
Posted 10 years agoHey guys!
I've negotiated a bill with beastnode and after communication, paid the bill about around 2 days ago.
I'm just waiting for the eCheck to go through to beastnode, and things will be all fine.
After that, it would just be uploading files and rewriting a few configs, should run fine.
Thanks to for donating, if anyone else would like to donate, please drop us a note!
Server Switching Hosts!
Posted 10 years ago
Hey!
We need to switch hosts. We're going with beastnode.
The server will be much much much faster and stuff.
The transfer will take a few days.
One problem is that due to the forced switch, we have to pay more now, so donations will be opened soon.
Donators will get perks on the server and custom ranks.
by
If you want to donate, drop us a note!
We really appreciate it.
Stay crafty.
Server is BACK UP!
Posted 10 years agoSo, we had a little downtime last night and the night before, but that's just because we've finally upgraded servers! Come on and join us. No more lag! :)
Also I redid ranks.
IP: mc.foxblocks.co
Also, mastercloud is looking for people to help him build a map (in survival) in Xbox-Minecraft. Note him if you wanna help!

Posted 10 years agoNew Server Box!
Posted 10 years agoHello!
So as many of you know... the server has been experiencing some very bad lag issues. This is not because of the internet connections to said server, but because of the current hardware the server is running on. However, on August 15th we will be upgrading to a machine several times more powerful than the first one we started with! This new server box will open up many more doors for us; we will finally be able to switch to Logblock, add shop plugins, have multiple worlds (Survival & Creative), and put up more minigames. One more interesting feature is that we will be able to get a dynamic map that you can access online to check out who is on, and where they are! All of these great features and plugins will be added over time, but for now, sit tight and have fun!
We will implement these features over this month and the next.
CPU Speed Info: 2x CPU(s) with 2 cores per CPU @ 2.49 GHz Intel Processors
Model Name: Intel® Celeron® CPU G540 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 (Upgradable, 4 slots for RAM)
HD: 2x 150 GB drives

Winner of Killing Floor!
Posted 10 years agoFirst of all, I would like to say thank you to all that participated, we had an overwhelming amount of THREE WHOLE (valid) SUBMISSIONS.
(heh.)
All participants in the contest were given "Veteran" status. :3
The winner of the Killing Floor Contest... is...
leafian
Congrats! Leafian actually built a DEDICATED build for the contest... Basically, they terraformed and made a house on the side of a hill (that was man-made but looked natural), and filled it with very well-decorated furniture! It even included an enchanting room, potions room, nether portal, bed, and secret room. Very well done!

Next time, for future contests, I'll make sure to...
1. Give you more time
2. Give you more prizes! (And better ones at that)

7. Click "Save Profile" when you are done.
8. Now, under "Profile:" you can select "1.5.2" or whatever you named it, and you will be running the 1.5.2 release of minecraft.
9. Congratulate yourself for finishing this quick tutorial.
Whenever the server updates, you just need to go under "Profile:" and select "(Default)" or whatever 1.6 profile you have.

New IP for the OFFICIAL SERVER!
Posted 11 years agoAHHHHH
Hi.
Right now, I'm gonna be setting up the website for the server. It'll just be a wordpress site, unless anybody has any objections to that. Any ideas for nice themes?
We will also be looking for server admins soon. Remember, this doesn't happen overnight, so for you to be an admin, you'll have to be a dedicated player for at least a few weeks.
In related news, I will be posting a server logo/advertisement in the next few weeks! Don't miss it! :3

Official FA MinecraftFurs server!
Posted 11 years agoHey everybody, Larc has given me permission to host a server that will be the "official" minecraftfurs server! For now, it is still in the works, but we are too excited to keep it a secret! The server will be mainly survival, but have a few minigames in the future. At the moment, all grief protection works, and the majority of our plugins are up and running (minus the minigames).
Come over and join us! As long as you join and say you are from FA, we will rank you up so that you can /sethome and whatnot.

Hey everybody! Nice to meet you!
Posted 11 years agoHi there! I'd just like to let you guys know that I'm going to be joining the minecraftfurs team as the official server host/server owner! Just wanted to give you guys some insight on who I am and the such.
My name is Kyrofox, I have run previous servers, including a Garry's Mod server and a Minecraft server prior to this, totaling around 2-3 years in experience with game servers!
My largest minecraft project was with Sethbling; a friend of mine, Maxx70994, and I recreated 2fort from the game TF2, and it was recognized in the opening ceremony in Minecon. I was given the chance to work with great minecrafters such as Sethbling and hypixel, and I got to play the game with AntVenom, FVdisco, and etho. Overall, Maxx070994 and I spent around 2 months building the map on and off.
I look forward to being a part of the minecraftfurs team!

Oh, hello.
Posted 12 years ago Soo as many of you are probably aware I am pretty lazy and don't do a lot and not a lot goes on with this group. (Which a few people have been like >:| about haha) So I am gonna maybe get one or two people to help run the group and come up with things to get it a bit more active! If you have an interest note my main account Larc with this info.
Why you want to help with the group.
What you would like to see happen with it.
Some sort of messenger/email for communication (Or just notes is fine too)
For those who wish to help I'd also like to talk with you a little and get to know you a bit. Don't wanna just hand over rights to people I don't know at all! You can leave comments here if you want, but noting me really would be the best way to get my attention.
(And sorry for all the lazy and lack of stuff going on :P)
