Mod Spotlight and Server Spotlight RETURNS!

Hi miners and crafters,


I have now got a new YouTube channel that I'm running with Crazy and 2003kalo, and it's called 'ObsidianMiners'. We will have some vids uploaded soon, but here's some stuff that is DEFINITELY coming.



  • Mario plays Minecraft
  • Server Spotlight
  • Mod Spotlight
  • Server Xperience
  • Crazy plays Minecraft (not yet confirmed)
  • 2003kalo plays Minecraft (not yet confirmed)
At the moment, there are NO OPEN SPACES on the channel. Anyways, I'll now explain more about each series.

Mario plays Minecraft

Mariobros980 will play a single-player survival server. In the first episode, he will build a house and get prepared, but then it's down to YOU. Whether you play Minecraft or not, you can tell Mario what you want to see built. If your idea is chosen, you will see him build it next episode!

Server Spotlight

The name says it all! All three of us will go on a server together and, if we like it, we will make an around-10-minute video about it. So, make sure you give your server some great stuff, because we might be coming to it!

Mod Spotlight

Technically, a spotlight for mods. There is one mod that I [Mariobros980] will always have in my vids, called TooManyItems. This is a mod that allows you to spawn in items if you have collected them once (I will NOT be spawning in items on Mario plays Minecraft).

Server Xperience

Again, about servers, but if we enjoy a server THAT MUCH, we will actually give you some of our experience on the server. A bit like Server Spotlight, but a bit more!

Crazy plays Minecraft (not yet confirmed)

Same as Mario plays Minecraft, except with Crazydude676.

2003kalo plays Minecraft (not yet confirmed)

Same as Mario and Crazy plays Minecraft, except with 2003kaloful.


SO, that sums that up! Let us know in the comments on any idea you ALREADY have for our channel!

Nightplace Survival: Faction Info!

Hi miners and crafters,


Following in from the Nightplace review, here's some info about the factions me and Crazy have set up. We have already made ourselves enemies, so we can battle versus each other. Here's the info of the servers (this will be updated LIVE!). Color code: blue is admin, red is mod and black is member of faction.


DarkVenom
Owner: Mariobros980
Mods: N/A
People: Mariobros980


Looking for people to join. I will not have an application form because posting links over the server will probably get you banned. Just do /msg mariobros980 i want to join darkvenom. I will tell you if the /msg command isn't unlocked to everyone, so don't worry! You will earn mod if you work hard in the faction.


Base Info: Our base in currently being built. The current building we are working on is: spawn point. If you would like to help with building, do /msg mariobros980 i want to help with _________ (whatever building we're working on). A list of people below of who is helping on the bulding (once we're in progress, you will not be able to join).


People building spawn point: Mariobros980 (in progress)
Next building: DarkVenom Shop (after spawn is built)






Viper
Owner: Crazydude676
Mods: N/A
People: Crazydude676, _______ (can't remember name)


Looking for people to join. To join, just do /msg crazydude676 i want to join viper. If the /msg command is locked than I will inform you. Currently working on spawn, You can help with the spawn if you want, you just need cobblestone. Then go to the base. There should be a cobble in-progress house-looking thing. If you can help, we can move onto other areas.


Base Info: Our base is in a desert biome. Once you have joined, I will send you a message on where our base exactly is. You will need to message me with '/msg crazydude676 i want to help build _______ (name of building). If you don't apply, you do not need to worry about helping build.


People building 'spawn point': Crazydude676 (in progress)
Next building: N/A (still deciding)


If you choose to join, if you work hard and help a lot, you will become a mod. Mods can invite other people, but please only invite people if you know they will not wreck our place then leave. I will report anyone who tries to destroy ANYTHING in either faction (it doesn't count if you are not in the faction as we claim every bit of land we build on). This means that nobody except members of the faction can destroy it or build on it.


Messageboard


DarkVenom Storage Room
We will be making an upstairs storage room at spawn. It costs 1 sign for a week of storage. After this week, if you are not online, we will store your stuff in another room which only I [Mariobros980] can access. Then when you come back online, ask for your stuff and I will retrieve it from the Overtime Room. I will private your storage like this:


[private]
(your name here)
Mariobros980


I will put my name on it so when your time runs out, I can unprivate the chest for someone else (I will NOT steal anyone's stuff).


We will be working very hard to make our factions some of the most lethal! If you aren't bothered, then scroll down and read about some early stuff. Let us know in the comments on your thoughts!

Server Spotlight #1: Nightplace Survival!

Hi miners and crafters,


I have chosen the first server to be in the Server Spotlight! It is called the Nightplace Survival Server, and it is probably one of the best servers I've tried! Here's some information about it!


Name: Nightplace survival
Server IP: 67.222.149.195:25589
Max Slots: 40


Snapshots:

This is where you spawn



Here is one area in the server


And believe me or not, there are too many parts of the world to describe. Crazydude676 has bought Minecraft as well, and is currently playing on this server too! He thinks the same, and we both have factions that are enemies (mine is called DarkVenom, Crazy's is Viper). Yes, they have snake-like names, but we like them all the same as I'm sure you do!


This server uses the MyPortal plugin (I think it's called that) which allows users to teleport to different areas (there is 3 builds, 1 nonbuild, a mine and much more!). I will explain the factions in another post, so don't be too worried if you want to join. There are dozens more plugins, but one of the main ones is called ChestShop. This is where you stock stuff in a chest, then place a sign with buy/sell prices on. They also uses the SignLock plugin, in which you can lock chests by placing a sign like this:


[private]
(player name 1)
(player name 2)
(player name 3)


I have made this the main server I will be going on for a while. I used to go on it about a week ago, but a faction destroyed our homeland, so I quit for a while. The server was formed in 2010, and has been advertising a lot on PlanetMinecraft.


This is really as much as I can say, the rest is for you to find out! An action-packed server with dozens of plugins, factions...oops, forgot to mention the staff! They are really kind and will answer questions (only ask once, they will have seen it unless they were AFK or offline).


Overall Rating
Exciting: 9/10
Plugins: 8/10
Staff: 9/10
Spawn: 9/10


OVERALL AVERAGE: 8.5/10


I would've given it a 10/10, but other people don't like it as much as me and Crazy, and because there's also room for improvement. Anyways, have you tried the server? Let us know in the comments!
