Whiskey Media's Official Minecraft Server

Server status: [Online]

HEY EVERYONE X2, FUCK

Server is brand new again! Again! And again!

SERVER RULES

  • Must be 18 or older.
  • Must be a member of Giant Bomb. Must have been a member for more than a month. Don't tell your cousin's nephew about the server; I won't add him. Ask me, and maybe I'll make an exception. They still need to be 18 or older.
  • Don't touch other people's things unless given permission by them.
  • Do not build view-destroying sky castles or sky bridges.[1]
  • Don't pour lava from high places, it's ugly and difficult to manage. Don't build your name out of blocks. Don't build a giant stickman taking a piss. Don't build something really out-of-character near or in someone's themed town.[2]
  • Do not attempt to deconstruct others' works if you feel they have broken the rules. Tell me, then I'll look into it.
  • Do not pester or bully new users.
  • Do not burn trees down. Fire spreads.
  • If you leave the server for over a month and have a project that is unfinished and that blocks usable space, then it will be taken down, unless a sign is erected saying when you will be back.
  • Minecart tracks are to be built at least 15 blocks underground, so as to not disrupt the view or clutter up possible building space (kinda like the real world), unless your project makes more sense above ground. Ask if you're unsure.
  • Portals do indeed work, and they take you to the Nether, but please refrain form building too many. There are a couple set up in each major city, but too many and things will get out of control.
  • Have common sense.

[1]
If you're wondering why there's a rule against this, it comes from me playing the game awhile. Basically: every new user wants to create a floating city, or a railway, or an air-bridge, or a floating castle. In moderation, they could be great (and yours could be one of the good ones), but in reality, every single person has given up on them, in the process creating a really generic hunk of view-destroying rock. It's basically just me trying to keep the server looking nice.
[2]
This may seem confusing at first. Basically, you can build wherever you want, as long as there's room, and as long as you don't disturb anyone's stuff. If you're unsure about building something somewhere, just ask around.

How to Get in

  • Read the rules above. Private message me questions if you have them.
  • I'd prefer a private message, but you could just comment here and request to be whitelisted. Make sure you tell me your Minecraft name!
  • Put 207.210.253.107 into the "Multiplayer" section from Minecraft's main menu; put whatever you want for the name of the server.

Actually, I personally think it's a huge eyesore. It destroyed my wall. And it's taking way too much space up. I watched *Appended* make it, and it took him all of 30 seconds. I'm currently working on taking it down, if you notice the small 2-block-wide gap in its side.

@Zachariahus: What if you made the giant bomb logo flat, so it looked like a watermark on the isometric maps?  Wouldn't be too great in game, though, although the Giant Bomb server could easily have two bombs.

Great job uncovering the northern expanse tonight. Some neat things were found. I think next time I log in I will try to find my way back to spawn without the use of a compass or teleporting. Bear Grylls Challenge= BEGIN!

Here's a couple updates. Finished the outside of this castle here. Also, here's the humble beginnings of a 3D attempt at the GB bomb. All the hard work of the hole and sphere are FunExplosions magical doings. The dirt will be turned into obsidian once everything's done.

@powrtrio:

 
 
To everyone else, as well, there's a memory leak bug in Notch's new update. So he's debugging that. Until then, the server will be up, although not a single person has successfully joined this morning. Sorry 'bout that. 
 
Edit: Scratch that. Server is down until 12:00 PM PST (2 and a half hours from now. Sorry, not good with timezones yet.) Fixing extreme lag and possibly getting new chat stuff working.

 Just a bit of documentation of the first (failed) attempt at building a Giant Bomb. Originally, we were going to try and map the logo onto a 3D ball, but it proved to be quite difficult, if not impossible. So, instead we opted to cover our ball of dirt and the crater that holds it in favor of a HUUUUGGGGE 2D Giant Bomb logo. I'm sure we'll have progress shots of that once it is finished, I just wanted to get these shots up before those are posted, so we have some chronology.

How to light a bomb. Interior shot of

   Here is an exterior shot of "The Bomb". It would've been turned to obsidian by Fun's super god mode powers, but we never got that far. Though, this room has potential.
 How to dismantle a bomb. Prepping the area for the new logo build, which will sit atop the stone roof.

THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS ONLY A TEST.   I have just started trying out some different builds and ideas on my home server. I am curious how much of a load this pc can bear, so I want to see if anyone can connect, ( 70.234.170.134:25565 ). Gonna op anyone that i have played with on FunExplosions server. This will not be up when the Bombcraft server is running, because thats where i will be. In all actuality, unless we have some kind of theme or unique experiment going on there. I may only use it to gain experience building things. I dont even know if we'll get it running. God help me. lol.

Can't connect. Additionally, I'd advise against exploring -too much- of the world. Eventually the cartographer crashes when the map reaches a certain size.

No worries, your slide's still standing, just minus the boat chests. To be fair, there were signs at the spawn point and the post here on the forum stating boats were banned well before you built it. That said, I'm not sure what's up with the current server state.

Yeah, we've all been wondering who took it upon themselves to walk out all that way to the west. There's definitely nothing built out there, and probably won't be.

i dunno,  i have a much larger map than the one we've currently explored and haven't had an issue with cartograph crashing,  also there are other apps to create server images with that seem to be supported a little bit better than cartograph.  In the end I don't think that exploring will be too big of a problem, but it would be a good idea to only go as far away as you need to to have the room for what you're wanting to build.   Just traveling an insane amount in one direction doesn't really accomplish much on it's own.

That's... I don't know. That's a new one. Most of the users in the server are from the UK, so I don't think that's it. Maybe something weird with your firewall? I don't know. Try connecting again, and if it keeps doing that, send me a screen capture or something.
