General Discussion / Show us your first FamCraft home
« on: May 02, 2013, 09:11:46 AM »
 I would love to see everyone's very first home on Famcraft. :)

 I'll start with my own.

 My first home was a small cobble box under a little hill. I had never played on a public server before, and I really did not intend to stay.
 
 I stayed in my cobble box for about a week before accepting the fact that I would always be here :D How could I leave such a perfect place?

 I still recall sitting safely in my little hiding spot and talking with LovelyLaces and Winston, and all the other wonderful staff and players that made FamCraft feel like home. :)

 How about you guys? Did anyone else start out with a cobble box? How about those of you who joined with grand plans of a fancy home right away? I'd love to see them all.

Famcraft Tutorials, Links and Info / Famcraft Plugins and Commands
« on: March 02, 2013, 04:49:28 PM »
 Hello Famcrafters! As requested by the community, this post is to list some of our most frequently used  plugins and/or commonly used commands and a little info about some of them.

 
Homes

/sethome [name] - Sets a home.  Players can set 5 homes with this command. A bed also sets a home at  /home bed. (You can also donate at : https://famcraft.com/index.php?action=treasury to receive more homes at the specified donation levels)

/delhome [name] - Deletes a home.




LWC Protection


We use LWC to lock our chest/furnaces/anvils/buttons/doors etc. Everything locks by itself once placed except for doors and buttons.

/lock  - Type /lock then left click to lock anything that can be protected with LWC.

/unlock Type /unlock then left click to unlock anything that can be protected with LWC.

 *Please note- you should be the original owner of the item to use /lock and /unlock.

/cmodify [playername] - This command allows you to give another player permission to use your locked items, such as chests, doors and furnaces.

/cremove [player name] -This command allows you to remove permission for a player you previously allowed to share your locked item.

/cpublic - This makes and item public for community use, but will not allow another player to protect it by locking it to their own name.




Precious Stones


  Precious stones is a anti-grief plugin we use, you simply place the following blocks to protect your build. Diamond block protects 41x257x41, Emerald blocks protects 11x21x11

/ps allow [playername] - This allows a player into a single Precious Stones protected area. * You can also allow an entire clan by using c:clanname instead of a player name.

/ps allowall [playername] - Allows a player into every one of your Precious Stones protected areas.

/ps remove [playername] - This removes a player from a single Precious Stones protected area.

/ps removeall [playername] - Removes a player from every one of your Precious Stones protected areas.

/ps setname [name of area] - Renames your Precious Stones protection field, so players will see a custom name upon entering and exiting your protected area.

/ps visualize - Creates a clientside (meaning only you can see it) temporary glass frame around your protected area, to allow you to see how far your protection extends. You must be standing within the Precious Stones field for this command to work.

/ps locations - Gives the coords to any Precious Stones you have placed on the map.

/ps disable - Turns off the protections in a PS Field, but leaves the stone protected so it can not be removed by another players.

/ps enable - Enables a PS that was previously disabled.

 Precious stones also contain many flags the player can toggle to customize the type of protection in each field. You can right click directly on a Precious Stone block for a complete list of flags.

/ps toggle [flag]

A few commonly used flags:

/ps toggle welcome-message - Prevents a welcome message from being displayed upon entering the protected area.

/ps toggle farewell-message - Prevents a farewell message from being displayed went leaving the protected area.

/ps toggle prevent-mob-spawn - Prevents mobs from spawning in a protected area. If you are trying to use a spawner in a protected area, you can toggle this flag to allow mobs to spawn.




Teleportation

 At Famcraft we have several teleportation options. I often see questions about which types of travel costs money. Here is a little info:

/spawn  - This a free teleport to spawn.

/warp [name] - All warps are free. You can see a complete list with  /warp. 

/home [name] - All teleports home are free.

/tpaccept  - This is the command to accept another players teleport request. It is free to accept or deny a request. *Always read the request carefully so you know what kind of request you have been sent.

/back - The /back command returns you to your place of death. This command has a time limit between /back requests, so you can not use it repeatedly without a break in between.




Clans


/clan create [TAG] [Name] - This creates a clan with the specified tag and name.

 An example would be: /clan create CLAN This is My Clan

 To create a colorful clan tag, refer to the following chart. You need to add an & + the number or letter that represents each color before each letter or group of letters you wish to be the specified color. Dark red is not allowed in clan tags on Famcraft.


Thank you Kealper, for the wonderful color chart!

 For example, to create a lime green clan tag, you would type:
/clan create &aCLAN This is My Clan

To create a clan with a multicolored tag, of Teal, Green, Purple and Gold you would type:
/clan create &3C&2L&5A&6N This is My Clan

If you are in a clan, and wish to pvp with your clanmates, you may also need to toggle your clan pvp option.

These rules can change at any time, please make sure you check them frequently to keep up.




_______________________________________________________________________________________

Spawn

 Once you have read the rules, feel free to admire  our lovely spawn. :D Then go up the steps, and through the portal to explore spawn city!  You can always return to spawn with  /spawn





________________________________________________________________________________________

Spawn City

 You will know you are in spawn city when you are greeted by stone brick streets and friendly littlel buildings.  Feel free to explore all you like! When you are ready to get started on your journey, please type  /warp mall



_________________________________________________________________________________________

The Mall


/warp mall will bring you to our lovely mall made up of player owned chest shops. To shop in a chest shop, read the sign over a chest.
 The signs will explain the quanity of the item being sold, the price, and type of item being sold. The price you can buy the item for is next to the letter B.  Simply right click the sign to buy the item.

 Some chest shops also allow you to sell items. If the price lists an S next to it, you may sell items to that shop by left clicking.





__________________________________________________________________________________________

Money

 You start with some money for shopping. You can type /money to see how much money you have. You can also earn more money with jobs.

 You can have up to 3 jobs on this server. These jobs allow you to earn money while playing normally. You do not have to go anywhere special to do your jobs, and you do not have to sell the materials you acquire. You are paid simply for the act of doing your job. For example, a Farmer earns money for harvesting crops.

 *To see what jobs are available, just type /jobs browse

 *For more information about any job, type  /jobs info [jobname]   example: /jobs info farmer

 *To join a job, type /jobs join [jobname]   example: /jobs join farmer

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Clans

 Famcraft uses the SimpleClans plugin to offer clans to our players. You can join a clan, play without a clan, or even start your own clan for 10,000.

 If you wish to start your own clan, once you have 10k, you can start a clan by typing:  /clan create [TAG] [Name]    example: /clan create MINE This is My Clan

 You can set a clan home with /clan home set

 Once you have created a clan, you can invite other members to your clan with /clan invite [playername]

____________________________________________________________________________________________

PVP
 
 PVP is OFF by default. You may toggle it on with /pvp so you can fight, but before pvp is allowed, all players must first agree to the terms of the fight. This means you and your opponent need to agree on what happens to your inventory when one player kills the other.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

 Homes

  You can set 5 homes on Famcraft, and your bed also sets a home for you. To set a home, type /sethome [name] example: /sethome base

 To return to a home, type /home [name]  example: /home base

* When naming your home, please choose a name, and not a number. Numbers can cause trouble for you in the future if you try to delete a home.

 To set your bed as a home, place it and right click on the bed. To return to a bed home, just type  /home bed

 If you need to delete a home at any point, please type /delhome [name] example /delhome base

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Precious Stones

 Once you do have a home, you might like to protect it with the precious stones plugin.

Precious stones is a anti-grief plugin we use, you simply place the following blocks to protect your build- Diamond block protects 41x513x41, Emerald blocks protects 13x21x13

 These blocks are most effective when placed in a central location of your home or property. You can purchase the stones or mine for them. To create a diamond block, simply place 9 diamonds on a crafting table. To create an emerald block, just place 9 emeralds on a crafting table.

 Famcraft is a NO GRIEFING server, but the extra protection is still very nice to have.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

LWC

We use LWC to lock our chest/furnaces/anvils/buttons/doors etc. Everything locks by itself once placed except for doors and buttons. To lock a door type "/lock" then punch it, to unlock it type "/unlock" and punch it. To add anyone to your protected chest, door, etc type "/cmodify (playername)"

______________________________________________________________________________________________

BACK & TPA

 * You can use /back to return to your place of death. You will be charged 1000 each time you use the /back command.

 * You can use /tpa to request to be teleported to another player. The player can accept or deny your request. You will be charged 100 each time you send a request.

*  You can use /tpahere to request to have another player teleport to you. The player can accept or deny your request. You will be charged 100 each time you send a request.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Star Gates & Wilderness

 If you are ready to find the wilderness and begin your adventure, please type /warp sg

 Typing /warp sg will bring you to our Star Gate room.

 The center Star Gate is our random gate. It will help you be able to explore the map by teleporting you to random locations in the wilderness. These locations are changed frequently, so there are always new areas to discover.

 To use the Star Gate:
 
 * right click on the sign to select a random location

 * press the button to activate the portal

 * step inside the portal to be teleported to the random location you selected

 Once you arrive at your random location, you will need to walk out at least 20 blocks from the gate before you will be able to break or build.

 Once you are at least 20 blocks from the portal, you may build anywhere you like, but please, always be respectful of the workspace of other players. Try not to build too close to your neighbors, it is a big, big world.



_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Questions? 

 If you have questions, and no staff is online to help you, please do not hesitate to ask the other players any questions you might have. Famcraft is a wonderful community made up of friendly players who are always eager to help.

Famcraft Tutorials, Links and Info / Famcraft Staff Selection Policy
« on: January 19, 2013, 07:58:30 PM »
Famcraft is changing the way we handle staff selection.

  From now on, no applications for staff will be accepted. Instead, staff will be automatically selected from among all eligible players.
 
 There is no need to send a pm, or ask about becoming staff in game. Asking repeatedly about becoming staff in game will make you ineligible for staff. We will not consider players who do not follow this rule.

"11 - Do not ask to become staff. This will cause you to lose your chance at becoming staff."

You can view all of the rules here: https://famcraft.com/index.php/topic,2.0.html

 
*** If you are chosen for staff, we will invite you to become a helper via private message on the forum at famcraft.com, or we will contact you in game. ***

To be considered for staff a player must meet the following criteria:

*must be polite and willing to help others

*must spend adequate time on the server to be able to help- We realize everyone has a real life too. We don't expect anyone to spend more time on the server than is reasonable for them. But as staff, we would hope to see you on the server at least a little while every day.

*must have been a member on the server for at least 2 weeks- You need to know the server and community for a couple of weeks before you will be considered for a helper position.

*must be in good standing with Famcraft - this means you will not be considered for staff if we are having to constantly correct you for spam/caps or other issues clearly covered in the rules

* You MUST have an account on famcraft.com to be considered for staff. It is impossible to be staff without access to the forum. It is free to create an account.   https://famcraft.com/index.php

 New staff members will be selected only when Famcraft needs additional helpers. We are not always in need of more staff.

 Donating to the server, while appreciated, does not have any effect on your chances of being asked to be a Helper.
 
Still interested? Read on. :)

 Before accepting an invitation to become staff, please consider the following information.

 Being staff is great! You get to be a part of the team that keeps Famcraft running smoothly. However- it is not all fun and games. Being staff can be very hard work at times. Helpers are expected to give tours whenever they are online. This means even if they are playing, building, or talking with friends, Helpers are expected to drop what they are doing and warp to /spawn to greet and tour the new player.

 You will only be asked to be a Helper- we will never invite a player to join staff at any other rank (This excludes returning retired staff).

  Every single member of staff starts out as a helper. From there, you may be able to move up in staff rank over time. Some helpers may never move up. They might always be Helpers. This does not mean these helpers are not wonderful, important staff members, it may just mean we need helpers more than we need to add additional higher ranking staff.

 Other staff members will be happy to assist you if you end up with multiple new players joining at one time. But the primary job of the Helpers is to tour new members- so we will expect you to tour first and foremost.

 Helpers have three main tools available to them.

*core inspect- to help you determine if a grief has taken place

*mute- in case someone is spamming or cursing on the server

*kick- if someone curses or spams, you can kick them as a warning. 

  A helper is expected to do all the proper paperwork in the staff section of the forum. This means if you mute or kick someone, you will need to make a post about it, explain why, and include a screenshot or irc copy/paste of the conversation.

 As you can see, being a Helper is a lot of work! Please consider all of this when you are deciding if you would like to accept an invitation to join the staff team.

 If you do choose to join us, but then you find you do not enjoy being a Helper, you are always free to retire. We will never hold it against you, and we will always be happy you gave it a shot. :)

Thank you to all Famcraft players and staff. You all make Famcraft great!

Bugs and glitches / Enchanted Books Glitch
« on: January 15, 2013, 06:07:32 AM »
 It seems we are seeing a glitch when a player attempts to use an enchanted book + an item on an anvil.

 Some players have reported being charged the xp, yet when they go to remove the newly enchanted item, they instead receive the original enchanted book and item back, with no enchantment applied to the item.

Advertise Your Clan / GemStars and The GemStars Mini Mall
« on: December 15, 2012, 07:47:36 PM »
 GemStars is a tiny clan consisting only of irl family members. Clan GemStars will not be accepting any new non-family members. However, we welcome any and all allies.

Owner/Leader: Rubyconstrictor

 GemStars owns and operates The GemStars Mini Mall located at /warp sg - first gate on the right at the top of the stairs. The mall is made up of player owned shops. Many shops are just opening up and are not fully stocked yet, but there are still plenty of bargains to be found.

 The Mini Mall also features a public Nether portal, and a public End portal for your multi-dimensional exploring convenience.

 Shop owners- Please feel free to reply to this thread with an advertisement for your shop at the mini mall.

Famcraft Tutorials, Links and Info / Famcraft Tour Etiquette for players
« on: November 11, 2012, 02:18:38 PM »
 I would like to take a moment to discuss tour etiquette.

 Famcraft is gaining a lot of wonderful new members. This means a lot of tours are taking place. Often, more than one tour at a time.

 Tours are a lot of fun, but are also a little tricky because there is so much info to cover in a relatively short amount of time. We try to keep the tours informative, while not taking up too much of the new members time. We understand everyone is eager to play.

 I would like to go over a few things that current members can do to help make tours better for new members, and easier for staff. Remember, we want to make new members feel welcomed, not overwhelmed.

 When you see a staff member touring a new player, Please try to follow these guidelines:

* Please do not warp to spawn and run around when a new player joins. Give them a little space so they can read the rules.

* Greet the new player ONE time. Please hold all other greetings/questions/comments until after the tour.

* Please do not tpa or warp to the new player and start tossing a lot of food/treats/gifts until near the end of the tour. If you feel you need to give the new player something, please try to wait until you see the staff member ask the new player to go to /warp SG.
 Giving a lot of items to a new player is very distracting when they are trying to learn.

* Please do not warp or tpa to the area of a tour, and throw ender pearls around. This is very distracting to both the staff and the new members.

* Please do not issue clan invites until the tour has ended.

* Please try not to correct the staff member giving the tour unless you spot a really big mistake.

 For example, we no longer mention gold blocks during the Precious Stones part of the tour. This is because we are no longer going to be using the gold blocks. We have not forgotten, we just do not need gold blocks anymore.

 Another example- If you see staff explaining to a new member to use a name for their home, and not a number, PLEASE do not tell them a number is fine, and you haven't had any problems. If a number has worked for you, you've been lucky. The problem with numbers happens when players try to delete homes later. We tell new players to use a name for their home to protect them. Please do not contradict this information.   

* Please do not attempt to take over a tour already in progress, unless you've been asked to help .

*Please try to keep standard chat to a minimum during tours. This means please use /msg and clan chat during tours, when reasonable. We understand some standard chat will still need to go on, that's fine. 

* If you need help from staff while a tour is going on, please look for a staff member who is not currently giving a tour first. If the only staff online is giving a tour, then please wait until after the tour to ask for help unless it is urgent. If you have an urgent problem, go ahead and ask for help. We will do our best to assist you as quickly as possible.

* Make sure you do not intentionally spam the IRC Plenary bot at anytime- during tours or otherwise. Plenary is a tool to help with tours and give needed info.
