Offering a spare server

[Greaper88]

Main Public test server:
Dubbed "Nomadic Minecraft"

Server world will be reset every 12 hours! You get to keep your inventory, and that is is all.
What can you accomplish in the limited time-frame? Take vids and screenshots

P.S. You will spawn back in where you signed out, so don't logoff in a dug out hole/tunnel!

server: "greaper88.serveminecraft.net:25585"


The specs of this machine are :

CPU: i7 3770, quad core 3.4 GHz

RAM: 16GB Ballistix DDR3

OS: Currently Windows 7 x64

Disk: 240GB SATA III SSD

Network: Google Fiber: Gigabit upload and download.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

I've split your message from the somewhat illogical thread into a separate one.

Thanks for the offer. I don't think such a machine would help the actual development - all of the devs run their dev servers on their machines, I can't imagine a scenario where I would need a separate server. However, if you can keep such a server running for the public, so that we could have an example server for anyone to check out, that would be useful.

I could do that, but I would certainly need help with the build process if running anything other than the 1.12 release.

The idea would be to have an auto-update script that would pull the newest official build (no need to build one yourself), clear the world folder (so that any griefing is undone) and (re)start the server; perhaps daily or twice a day.

I think we could make a very simple plugin that would announce the server restart some time ahead, then terminate the server, so an outer script can update it and re-run it.

sounds good

Here's the simple plugin to shut the server down after a preconfigured time interval:

(might be useful for others, too)

Server is online. Here's the setup:

Also, have a Anarchy server running as well. This world will remain unchanged.
Server restarts to update as well, but nothing changes world/player-wise.

Thanks. Can we post the server on the homepage as the test server?

Could I have your help in diagnosing what appear to be deadlocks on joining the server? We've a couple of issues open in the bugtracker but no reliable way to reproduce until now.
