[B]Note: I do not own, run, or moderate on Sacred Labyrinth, I am just a regular on the server, and I am just advertising it because I feel some of the Facepunch Minecraft playerbase would enjoy the server!
[/B]
Sacredlabyrinth is a server that has been running for a little over a year, with a fairly large playerbase, although it has declined from previous maps. The server is a PvP oriented server, with raiding allowed, but griefing disallowed. It has a great community and some great plugins that help to make the server unique. The staff on Sacredlabyrinth is superb, mature, and they deal with most problems asap, and the playerbase community is great, and I have met a fair amount of cool people on the server, although there are a lot of kids that can kind of get annoying at times. The server has a border at 3600 in each direction, and a dynmap located [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/map/"]here[/URL], so you can look before you join. The server has shops that players can purchase items from other players using Gold Ingots as currency, so there is no annoying wallet commands to remember.
I will post some info about rules and plugins and some all around info from the admins and moderators of the server.
[U][B]Main Plugins:
[/B]Precious Stones
[/U]This is a plugin made by the owner of Sacred Labyrinth, Phaed. Personally, I think this is what helps make Sacred Labyrinth stand out. This plugin allows players to place certain blocks that have different functions. For example, placing a Diamond block on the ground will create a "city protection plot", which prevents other players that aren't on the allowed user list from placing or destroying blocks in the area that is being protected. [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=876"]Here is a full list of pstones.[/URL]
[U]Simple Clans
[/U]This is basically a factions plugin, but its simpler to use and operate.
[U]Combat Tag[/U]
This plugin is to prevent PvP logging (logging out during a PvP fight to avoid dieing) between players. If you get hit, you are combat tagged and must either kill the other player, or wait before disconnecting. If you do disconnect while combat tagged, you will die.
Go [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7750"]here[/URL] for a larger list of plugins and commands used in the server.
[U][B]Server Rules:[/B][/U]
I will quote the rule posted by the owner so that there can be no mistakes. Thread [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=61"]here[/URL].
[quote=Phaed][B]On Cheating/Hacking[/B]: Don't do it. [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=55"]Read[/URL]
[B][URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7424"]On Griefing[/URL][/B]: People come into the server and find places to dig and inevitably create structures and homes to which they later return. If you find one such place please be careful with it. Use proper entrances rather than break blocks, try not to break the functionality of the places you visit.
[B]On Destruction[/B]:
Placing lava or water without purpose in random places or populated places in the map is also frowned upon. Keep the world clean. Making random holes or structures that are half done or serve no purpose is also frowned upon and slowly destroy the world. When you tear down a tree, don't just leave the top for someone else to clean up. With this in mind if you chance upon some random blocks that someone left behind carelessly please mine them out and repair the area, your neighbors will appreciate it.
[B]On Moving In[/B]: Find an unpopulated area to take your resources from, and build nearby. Walk a bit from spawn as spawn and its surrounding areas is protected in order to keep a nice looking spawn.
[B][B][URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7424"]On Killing[/URL][/B][/B]: Killing is part of the game and you will not be penalized for it. The only exception is that you may not kill moderators.
[B]On PvP (player vs. player)[/B]:
Do NOT log out during PvP, this is not allowed and will ultimately end in death as punishment with your entire inventory going to the person that tagged you (via plugin). Do not log off and then back on during pvp to abuse tempory effects.
[B]On Stealing[/B]: People may want to go into your homes and steal your valuables so hide your chests.
[B]On Hiding your stuff[/B]: Because people will look for your stuff and try to raid you, please hide your valuables. This does not mean you're allowed to create areas for hiding your wealth that are impenetrable except by you, the owner. Classified as "Vaults," these make raiding impossible and detract from that aspect of gameplay. Hide your things under dirt and stone, buried in obsidian, anything as long as you don't abuse the PreciousStones plugin or other means of making your valuables impossible to be taken by anyone except yourself.
[B]On Account Sharing[/B]: Account sharing causes many problems, do [B]not[/B] share an account with anyone. In doing so the shared account will be banned.
[B]On Assholes[/B]: Acting like an asshole will get you banned. This specifically means [B]disrespecting, cursing at[/B], or [B]blatantly ignoring warnings[/B] by mods. This does not mean that disagreeing with mods or talking back to mods in a [B]normal, non aggressive manner[/B] makes you an asshole.
[B]
Disrespecting by race, or sex (racism/misogynism) will not be tolerated and will get you permanently banned from SL, no questions asked.[/B][/quote]
The 1.2 update brought a few more rules and additions, listed here.
[quote=EvilNilla]Effective Immediately:
1) Mob Grinders are illegal. This includes any automated way to collect mobs to kill them, to intentionalyl spawn them, to gather them, etc. This includes iron golems. Do NOT test this one, if it even smells like a grinder you're in trouble.
2) Mob Spawners are no longer breakable.
3) Nether Portals and End Portals will be REQUIRED to allow anyone entering either side to get out into that world. This means no more personal/trapped/fucked up portals. All portals are public property.
4) Blaze Spawners are public property. You and your clan can NOT monopolize them.
5) All Vaults are illegal, redstone, anything. Hide your shit. The Orebfuscator plugin hides chests properly now so you don't have to worry about XRayers.
6) Lapis / Grief Revert size is reduced. Not by much, but it should stop mad land grabs.[/quote]

The only thing donating yields is a vip tag and a /kit for a few weeks that does not give an advantage over other players.

[/B][/U]
[quote=RabbleRoost][B]More on Hacks/Glitches/Bugs/Abuse:[/B]Dumping water in a protected field to bypass protection and change an area (like remove torches or turn lava to obsidian) is a bug and considered exploit abuse, as is dumping lava or using fire/ice blocks/other means of bypassing the anti-pvp field of a sponge (or other non-pvp areas) to kill someone. Any potion with adverse affects, even ones that do not damage health, are not allowed to be used on players in no-pvp zones. Arrows being used in spawn protection or in sponge (anti-pvp) fields to bypass the no pvp area is also prohibited. Any form of duplication bug or things similar are strictly illegal, if you find anything of the sort, alert a mod+ right away, don't bring it to a global setting (like by making a post on the forums) or exploit it, or you will face severe consequences. Specifically disallowed are things including (but not limited to) xray mods, see-through texture packs, fly mods, smartmovement mods, clear water mods, light mods, and the like.[/COLOR]
Along with those bugs is "boat flying", the boat lag trick, and any other sort of trick to "teleport" yourself through protected barriers (besides enderpearls, which have been deemed legal to use in pstone fields, etc), HOWEVER the only thing that is not illegal is using unprotectable block lag to gain entry to chests or flip levers. Chests and such near walls can be block lagged into as diamond protection was not designed to keep these safe but rather rooms undamaged or inaccessible (note the water/boat rules above). Example: You break through protected glass (it will regenerate because it's in a protected area) and open a chest.[/COLOR]
[URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=55"]Open use of Transparent Texture/Xray/Speed/Fly Hack/other things deemed "hacks"[/URL]
Report/record, alert a moderator if you notice anyone using these. Any use of things such as these warrants a permanent ban
ABSOLUTELY no alternate accounts allowed
No unfair advantages, having the ability to "have two lives" unbalances the survive and thrive aspect of the server.
Ugly 1x1 towers that are useless... (scaffolding is allowed if removed after use)
Remove these on sight, they make the land ugly (and everyone likes a decent looking map). If it's too extensive for you to handle, call a mod in and they'll handle it for you
[I]No killing in spawn or in areas immediately surrounding spawn is allowed[/I]
Give people a chance to escape
[I]No vaults (basically a "vault" is defined as unobtainable wealth) or storing of iron/gold, or pistons without a purpose is allowed[/I]
Under no circumstances are any redstone combination locks or any sort of impenetrable vault allowed - hide your chests well, hide gold and iron. The Orebfuscator plugin hides chests properly now so you won't have to worry about xrayers
[I]Nether Portals and End Portals are REQUIRED to allow anyone entering either side to get out into that world[/I]
This means no more personal portals, trapped portals intending to kill people entering them, or otherwise messed up nether portals that don't allow people to pass through them (probably don't want one in your base for this reason)
[I]Blaze Spawners are public property. You and your clan can NOT monopolize them[/I]
Don't block them off, don't place diamond blocks etc, or you'll be subject to at least losing your diamonds and possibly a harsher punishment
[B]In heat of combat almost anything goes[/B]
Side note:
* Lava/fire/arrows/ice blocks/other means of bypassing the anti-pvp field of a sponge (or other non-pvp areas) is not allowed. However digging or pushing someone out of a sponge zone is ALLOWED, so don't afk in that area and expect not to suffer
* Taking over a home as your own isn't allowed. You can take some time to search it but afterward move on. One Minecraft day should be plenty
* Stalking a player(s) is potentially temp bannable if deemed malicious and overly extensive
* Malicious Destruction of chests or their contents is not allowed. If it's full of supplies that you are unable to carry, don't destroy the chest and leave the items to despawn, nor is burning the contents solely to destroy them allowed
* Building a portal from the nether into someone else's home is not allowed. The portal may potentially destroy the structure when it's created, and the leftover obsidian is a pain to clean up
* Breaking blocks/tunneling is allowed. Make all attempts to replace
* Water usage and lava on flat surfaces - a flood of lava in stairs, all over the floor, or on walls may be deemed griefing
* And if defending your base, then use as much tnt/lava as you want. It's your home... You're fixing it. If people still complain, ask that it be brought to the [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewforum.php?f=19"]complaints section[/URL] of the forums
[B]
Rules on Grief[/B]
Grief is the destruction of structures through:
* Structural damage
* Spamming blocks in structure
* TNT usage
* Flooding with water
Side note about water: If descending a wall or pit water may be deemed worth pouring, as long as it's cleaned up and doesn't ruin lava designs or other difficult things to repair
* Flooding with lava
* Breaking crops and not leaving some growing
* Stealing brewing stands/enchantment tables
This includes wheat, melon and pumpkin stems, sugarcane, cactus, and both varieties of mushrooms
* Not leaving at least two farm animals behind (wolves and cats are excluded and are allowed to be killed)
Included in the list of animals you're required to leave two of are cows, chickens, pigs, mooshrooms, and sheep
* Removal of torches from a base/structure/something clearly player-made
* Breaking decor blocks, which include anything player placed with the exception of gold/iron blocks, ore blocks, so-called "breaking and entering" where you destroy some part of a person's base or structure during a raid (SO LONG AS IT'S REPAIRED AFTER in the event that there aren't lapis blocks protecting the area making replacing impossible), or breaking chests as long as you don't allow the contents you don't want to despawn.
[URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=61"][B]Asshole Rule[/B][/URL]
Here at SacredLabyrinth we're a community, not solely a place to play a game online. Remember the fact that there are real people with real feelings/emotions behind the usernames out there and treat them accordingly.
Clear Disrespect, Vulgar language, Ignorance of staff:
Ignorance: Kick as a warning
Continuing after warnings: Temp ban+ if deemed appropriate
[B]Rules on Chat[/B]
* English only in global chat (if you want to speak another language, [B]/msg[/B] is fine as long as the other player doesn't mind)
* Spamming caps more than once gets annoying. We allow minor raging/dirt talk, but if it gets excessive we will start kicking people as a warning
* Racist+ remarks warrant an instant ban unless admin says otherwise
* Colored chat is reserved for moderators and up, red is strictly admin-only. Colored phrases are used to get attention, whether they be server messages, warnings, or alerts, and are not to be abused
These rules should be immediately in effect.
If you have proof (verbal or visual) that you can present you can then make a complaint if it has not already been dealt with.
[B]Helping the community[/B]
1.Host events with prizes
(get admins to give the all-clear for spawned prizes)
2.Build community projects
Shop/Trade
Offer help in acquiring low cost supplies
Travel
3.Help new players get started
Private messages
Holding their hand until out of spawn (a simple hut with some wood in hand is good enough)
Offer forum for more info or mod services[/quote]
That is about all that I can think of to post about the server. Hop in and play, and then post in the [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/viewforum.php?f=17"]Introductions Section[/URL] of their forums to get membership. Note: Membership is NOT required to play, you can play as normal forever as a guest if you'd like, but to get access to Pstones and buy from shops, you must be a member.
I am Gubbygub ingame, and if enough Facepunch players hop in, I think I can arrange a Facepunch clan / faction. I can help some people out if need be. So far only one other person from Facepunch play's with me, and that is Im-Bored or Aspergus ingame. If you are going to want to join us, post in the thread with your IGN and I will add you to our little clan.
(Sorry for lack of pictures, I really don't stop and take screenshots. I will try and get some pictures later, use the [URL="http://sacredlabyrinth.net/map/"]Dynmap[/URL] to look at the server for now.)
This sounds interesting, but some of the rules like you cant use redstone to hide your chests, or no greifing at all (What if we want to raid somewhere?) are pretty dumb.
While raiding someone, griefing is allowed, you can smash down walls and shit all you want, but after the raid is over, you have to try and fix it if you can. If they have a grief revert stone, you don't have to, or at least I never do, and just let them revert it themselves. You can use redstone to hide a chest if you wanted, like make a piston activated door to open a secret room? I think you just can't use them without them having a way to be found out. Personally, I just stick my important chests down at bedrock and cover them with smoothstone.
Sorry, you need to Log In to post a reply to this thread.
