Right here is where my under water base is. Sad you can't see it in the pic.

 

[Yaweee]

Make an entry tower like in Bioshock.

 

[Pancakes]

No, they seem to be humble builders. I don't even know about half the stuff on the server until Ark posts a cartograph. Then there's like 10 things I want to go check out haha.


edit: I see pankaks is putting a huge glass roof on his tower

Lol yep, trying to make a sky garden. Might expand it at a later date.

Wait...

Wait... I'm confused, you guys all live in the same world in Minecraft and build everything together?

Wholly shit at some of those lands and stuff, it looks incredible!

I will admit my ignorance about this game, but I thought it was Single Player?

This is a mp server. MP is slightly different than SP, but the basic concept is the same. Mine shit, build shit, and it's way more fun to be doing that when other people are around and doing the same.

You can host/rent MP servers.

Found this texture pack that I wanted to share. Once I install it on my own PC (at work now), I'll let you guys know what I think (if anyone cares... :cricket)

I'm a sucker for Borderlands, and from what I've seen, I'm pretty impressed.

Okay, now that I've found that out this has become really interesting to me.

I'm lazy and the thought of building a big city / civilization by myself has been turning me off but the idea that you can band together with a group of people to build something amazing... well now that is certainly appealing!

So is it possible for someone to request to join this great group of people building 'Neocraft'?

 

[Mr_Appleby]

fixed up a little entrance to my stilt house so i don't have to worry about spiders when leaving in the morning, and finally connected it to a path to spawn

as long as you have minecraft, you can log in using the ip address in the OP

 

[Crispo]

Is Industrial Craft worth installing?

I've been using this for the last couple months actually and it's really nice. I sometimes switch it out because it gets a bit too dreary and twisted and you just want something colorful or simple.

 

[guest1321]

Hey does anyone have any cobble stone on arks server that they want to give away. Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Wow, I think Minecraft might be something that I would really enjoy!

I'm going to have to get it I think.

The idea of this thing is fantastic... but my god, how much time investment would be needed to create a re-creation of Atlantis from Stargate: Atlantis? Because that's like my ultimate dream... to build and live in that in some creation game that allows me to build something one day.

 

[mrklaw]

I hope people continue to exercise restraint and keep within the style of spawn. Huge stuff, sculptures, all that should be a little distance away.

 

[Grinchy]

Hey creative, nimrod, anyone who has properties in the hill network, do you guys mind if I make an adjustment to the roads here?

This diagram should show what I wanted to do lol

This way it would just be one branch off the main road.

 

[parasight]

Nice you can see my partially built Yellow Submarine in the new render. Can't wait to see how it looks finished in the next render. There's so much new amazing buildings around the spawn. Everyone's really doing a great job.

 

[onken]

My place, will probably keep building the lower bridge upwards till I run out of cobble.

Could you do it in front of the signs I placed? (with the West Towers and the Hill Network).

Otherwise, sounds good.

 

[Grinchy]

Alright cool. In the meantime, I've been messing with texture packs, and I'm blown away by this photorealism one.

I'm not usually into using texture packs but some of these are just sweet.

 

[Pancakes]

HOLY CRAP!

Sorry for the caps but god damn that looks awesome.

I love the view of the server at night:

There ya go! Remember to grab the newest patcher if you haven't already.

I'm about to try the 256 lol

Definitely, we don't want any over-sized mammoths in the initial spawn area.

What for? The map changes every 30 seconds

So that i can upload a good map picture without shitty compression.

[guest1321]

Just got finished with some work. Didn't quite line up how I wanted to but here it is:

 

[Mengy]

Man, looking at Ark's latest cartograph pic and I realize that I haven't seen even half of the map yet, there are so many other constructions that I need to go see. My tower is up, but far from finished. Still lots of detail work to do. Gonna have to go on a flower and sheep hunt real soon to get mats, LOL.

 

[defel]

Unfortunately Ive become addicted to Minecraft at the wrong time what with exams in the next few months. Im dreaming about this game. The other day on the train I imagined myself mining away at the ground next to the railway line.

 

[bengraven]

I like my castle. It's fairly plain, but I've never used so much cobble in my life.

It's like...a right of passage that I haven't taken part in yet.

 

[Ranger X]

Some of the most busy and best views of the server are from Mik2121's floating island at the spawnpoint. I had pics but they are already outdated. I shall take more!

 

[Ark]

NeoCraft (or Ark’s server) is a NeoGAF Minecraft server where all can come and enjoy building with a great community!

The server is hosted in the UK, London and holds a maximum of 15-players, we also have a Ventrilo server which only holds 10-players. In an attempt to reduce griefng to an absolute minimum, we also have a ranking system which goes as follows:

Ranks:

1) Peasant - The default rank you will be assigned to upon joining the server for the first time. Peasants cannot lock chests or doors.

2) Citizen - Could otherwise be called a ‘full member’ rank. You can do everything a Peasant can do and more! Oh, and you get a green coloured name.

3) Donator - Can do everything a Citizen and Peasant can do, but has an orange coloured name instead, and bragging rights that you’ve donated.

4) Moderator - Speaks for itself really.

5) Admin - Almighty and powerful.

Now we all know that vanilla Minecraft is the best Minecraft, so what we’ve done is add in just a few addons to make your survival multiplayer experience the best it could possibly be.

Addons:

1) Bukkit - The heart of the server, controls just about everything.

2) WorldGuard - Anti-griefing addon

3) WorldEdit - Lets us undo any griefing attempts, fix broken water, the possibilities with this addon are endless.

4) Lockette - Want to lock your chests to stop people from stealing stuff? Go ahead and do it by placing a sign either next, or in front of your chest and write [Private] on the first line.

5) iChat - Coloured names and groups!

6) ScheduledAnnouncer - You have no excuse for being an idiot when we have this addon running, and this post.

7) Weathergod - Control the weather? Control the weather.

Server IPs (Quote to view):

Minecraft


Ventrilo


Just before you jump in and start building tonnes of stuff, take a note of these few rules and pointers:

You can access the rules in-game by typing /rules. But essentially, don’t be an idiot and never, ever leave floating trees around. It’s been told in ancient legends the the Sun God covers the dwelling of any ‘floating tree leaver’ in a thick layer of bedrock.

When you spawn, turn around and you will see the NeoCraft train station (although there are no trains running through it at the moment), underneath that station are the community chests. Where anyone and everyone can dump their unwanted materials for others to benefit.

The cartograph map of NeoCraft should go here, but it would be pointless. The server changes so much with each passing day it’s difficult to keep up with it.

Donations:

The server doesn’t run itself. We’ve already received a number of donations from the community. Any and all donations go directly to the server fee’s, no where else. Any donation amount is accepted and we greatly appreciate them. Also, please remember to include your Minecraft name with your donation so that you can be moved to the Donator group.



With all said and done, I command you to go and play right this second.

Please, if you are going to make gigantic structures out of stone, don't be lazy, smelt some cobble into smooth stone.

 

[bengraven]

I purposely made my cobble. Not just because I strip mined 7k+ from beneath my castle.

Mostly because my texture pack makes it so damn sexy I just didn't give a fuck.

 

[British Monsoon]

Awesome comprehensive post Ark, although you might want to mention that you type '/rules 2' to get to the 2nd page of rules, as quite a few of us were dumb enough not to realise, lol.

Man, some people just hate cobble. I don't see the problem. Looks ugly? Get a texture pack.

@bengraven - is your castle the one next to Ark's minecart track?

 

[Yaweee]

Cobblestone looks so much nicer than smooth stone in most packs that I've used.

 

[bengraven]

Then there's the Animal Crossing pack, which makes both cobble and smooth look like shit.

Yyyeah, I just built a giant tower on top of it, but I think I'm cutting it down. Cloud-tapping towers aren't that impressive anymore.

 

[onken]

Yeah fuck that smooth stone texture.

How to make a window? Some kind of the Ark windows style. I know how to make a glass, but don't know how to make a window. I'm just started playing Minecraft.

That's a texture pack. There are no windows, just glass

 

[bengraven]

In case you don't know how to make glass, you just smelt sand.

Not finished yet, need to go a long way to furnish and design the interiors properly. Already done some of the top floor stuff.

Wow looks awesome. Would you mind telling me what graphics/texture packs you're using please? Shit looks waaaay better than vanilla
