We are making some changes to build inactivity rules. Until now, if you were inactive for 3 weeks without notifying us, your build was removed. From now on, that term is 1 month for guest/untrusted (anything below Member) and 2 months for Member and above.

So it turns out, most of the lag we had/have on Survival, is due to hoppers, and I can take a couple of actions to reduce the impact:

- Starting May 16th (00:01), I am disabling LWC protections for hoppers. That means you will no longer be able to protect your hopper with LWC
- Depending on how effective this measure is, we will see what is still needed to do.


We believe this will reduce lag a bit, due to LWC not running so many hopper checks, but hopefully, I hope it will also discourage users from using hoppers, as they are terrible and Mojang should feel really bad about their implementation :S

I almost forgot to post this message

So, we've recently made an important change that should reduce lag and improve your experience across our server.
We've upgraded from our previous two dedicated server (one for survival + pix + bungee + web, one for modded, vanilla, creative, factions) to just one bigger, stronger machine.

Our infrastructure until now:
Main Machine (Xeon 4c8t, 64GB DDR3, 240G SSD) - Survival, Pixelmon, Waterfall (proxy), Webserver VM
Games Machine (Xeon 4c8t, 32GB DDR3, 120G SSD) - 1.7.10, Factions, Creative, Discord Bots, Pix Dev

Our new infrastructure:
EPYC Machine (AMD EPYC 16c32t, 128GB DDR4, 1TB nVME RAID1 (hosts all of above and still has room to spare for a few more. Survival view distance already increased from 6 to 8 with no big performance penalty (on the old server, this impacted performance negatively)

We've managed to keep our costs roughly the same, increasing them only with $2 / mo.
Hope you will notice the change, and if you did, tell us what is different!

Faction players, if you keep disrespecting factions staff, I am coming after you and you will not like it.

I don't think it's a secret that I was strongly opposed to Factions reopening and that I am absolutely disgusted by it. But when I saw that a global owner and a local owner (saywhat and evan) were promising to take full responsibility and to run it for SFT, i very reluctantly said "eh, whatever".
Why do I hate Factions? I hate what it does to people. I hate how it turns people against one another and how it makes them these incredibly toxic assholes who are not someone I would ever want in my community.
Last time we had a Factions server, things ended badly. Very badly. We keep a lot of stuff that happens private because it may be shocking to see, but trust me, it got really really bad.

This time, I need to set some boundaries if this is to work:
- @saywhat2365 and @BluetigerESW manage and run the server. This means I don't want to hear any complaints about factions or people crying about losing. Take it to saywhat, Blue or their staff team
- If a [real life] law has been broken on Factions, I want to hear about it ASAP, with pictures / proof. If this is very serious (eg: pedo level shit, or blackmail / stalking), I will report this to the proper authorities.
- If you suspect that an fMod or higher up is corrupted and is spawning in items (maybe not for themselves, but for others), I want to see that, but ONLY IF IT CAN BE PROVEN! Don't come to me saying X did this or that without any proof because I WILL SIMPLY NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!. Also don't contact me without trying to solve the situation with @BluetigerESW or @saywhat2365 !!!
- Discord support for Factions will be given for only the following two scenarios: 1. Premium shop support 2. Reporting something illegal that happened on Factions. For anything else, DO NOT use the #support channel, instead a Factions-specific support method is currently being decided and will be announced.

The plague (coronavirus) didn't kill SFT, let's hope Factions doesn't...

TL;DR: This is a Super Fun Time server but I have almost nothing to do with it despite helping set up some plugins and managing the premium shop support. Don't make it my problem unless you really really have to (eg shit has hit the fan)

Hi Survival players,

If you don't know, an Angel Investor is someone that will fund a business.
I come here, with the mother of the angel investment : 10 mil EmpBucks, non refundable, to one lucky person who meets some criteria:

- You must open a new business or have an existing business that was not launched more than ~1 week ago
- You must hire, or promise to hire 5 helpers for your business, for at least 2 months, otherwise you will have to re-pay me the 10mil
- You have to justify how you would use the 10mil, and how you think that would help you and SFT.

Submit your plans, I will pick the one I think is best

There was a minor rollback (3 days) in the forums and uptime progression (/pstats). Any uptime gained in the last 3 days was lost, and any post made on the forums in the last 3 days is also lost.

We apologize for that, however we should be fine now.

So, currently, we are using Dropbox Business (120 Euro / year), for our backup needs. However, I have recently discovered pCloud. This also has a yearly plan, of 60 Euro / year, but the most interesting proposition is the 175 EUR for lifetime 500GB access, which would be more than enough for our backup needs.
Basically, what I am proposing is spending a little money (~$200) to get a lifetime subscription, so we no longer have to pay 120 EUR yearly for dropbox.
Your thoughts? Would you be interested in contributing?

How can you contribute:
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia

Direct payment to: donations@superfuntime.org

We have began pre-work for the 1.16 update, currently trying to analyze each new feature and make sure how it fits with the rest of SFT, perhaps adjust emp prices if we have to.
1.16 is just around the corner. I do not have a date right now, but this will be done in three stages like every time:

- Stage 1: ViaVersion. We use a plugin such as ViaVersion to allow 1.16 clients into our 1.15.2 server until we manage to update
- Stage 2. Update the server to 1.16
- Stage 3. Reset world (won't be needed for 1.16 since they only made changes to the nether, so reset nether)

If you wish to be able to keep playing on Survival, please do not update to 1.16 until you see a front page post saying we now accept 1.16 clients.

Thank you, any questions?

There is a new self-assignable role on our Discord server. The role is called PartyGamer. It is for people who wish to attend in events hosted by myself or others, for games such as jackbox party pack and other similar games.
I have bought the full collection of jackbox party pack, specifically to host events on SFT, and I plan on doing this daily.
Please join our Discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/P56dXsD Then go to #bot-spam and type the following:

Code Select Expand

t!selfrole get PartyGamer
Then when we will host a game, we will ping everyone with the PartyGamer role.

My goal behind this is to turn our discord and SFT into more than just a minecraft server community: a  community of friends who do fun things together.
NOTE: You do not need to own the game to participate in any Jackbox events, only the host (me) has to.

https://forms.gle/WFCs9LL7LJDwxskMA

Please take this survey. It is made by me, for my own use and nobody but me will be able to see it*.
You can give your nickname or you can send it anonymously (instructions inside), your call.

* We may share some graphs and grades, but we will NOT share your actual text responses.

So, we're looking for a game to host for an event for SFT.
We're looking for a free web-game that runs on most computers and allows at least ~10 people online, preferably more.
Please tell us your favorite web-games (or free steam games) that can be played with >10 other people online, at the same time.

NOTE:
- You may post the link/url
- You may not post links to other minecraft servers or minecraft server ip's. We are looking for a DIFFERENT game than Minecraft.

As the title says, a lot of new players just leave after a few minutes.
The aim of this post is:
- Figure out why
- Figure out what we can do to stop most of them from leaving and get their interest.


Please tell us why you think that is and we will do our best to help.
Are our help books / spawn boards too much info but too few relevant info? We need your help to find that out!

We are recruiting Devs for our Survival server (but not limited to this).
Do you know how to make java plugins for spigot? Do you have some extra time that you could dedicate to SFT to help me improve it? Then apply!

NOTE:
- We can barely pay our bills right now, so this is an unpaid position
- We only recruit devs with experience in coding plugins. So be prepared to show us a plugin/resource you made and to have a small discussion with one of our Devs in order to make sure you are actually java knowledgeable (you would be surprised the number of people that apply, not even knowing what a java plugin is)

Remember the old Vehicles plugin on Survival? It's back!
Have you ever dreamt to drive a car / pilot an airplane? Now's your chance!

Available vehicles:
- Bikes (/bikeshop)
- Cars (/carshop)
- Submarines (/submarineshop)
- Trains CHOO-CHOO! (/trainshop)
- Planes (/planeshop)

Special vehicles (available in the shop)
- Helicopters (/helicoptershop)
- Tanks (/tankshop)
* NOTE: The helicopters and Tanks cannot fire projectiles

READ ME:
- You may put a vehicle back in your inv by SHIFT+RIGHT CLICKING on them
- You may refill a vehicle by SHIFT + LEFT CLICKING them
- Various items are used as fuel. Try them out, literally most stuff made out of wood for example.

NOTE: Pay attention when purchasing. Multiple clicks will purchase multiple vehicles. We will not refund!
PS: Are you a Patron? Create a ticket in #support and claim your free helicopter/tank access!

The following servers have been EOL'd:
- bTeam Classic
- RLCraft
- SHC
- PE (this has been EOL'd earlier, but mentioning it as well)

EOL = End of Life, meaning the server was permanently shut down.
You can consult the list of servers we host here: https://www.superfuntime.org/forum/index.php/topic,89705.0.html

Some of you may remember that on Survival, we had an update world. Well scratch that, that world has been now renamed to scavenge world and has the following modifications done to it:


- PvP will be enabled, and god/fly will be disabled upon entering the world
- PvP cooldowns will be eliminated in this world (meaning PvP will be 1.8 like)
- Difficulty is set to HARD
- You are not allowed to create warps, set a home, or /tpahere other people
- PyroMon was moved exclusively to this world. Meaning this is the only world PyroMon will spawn in
- PyroMining was moved exclusively to this world. Meaning if you want to gather flux and other materials, you have to do it in this world
- Creepers destroy blocks
- You can build, but it is recommended only for cabins and other short used builds. This world will be reset often, and there will be no protections on it, meaning raiding will be a possible thing
- The world has been extended to 1000 border size (from 750). I would like to avoid increasing it a lot more, due to lag
- Phantoms were enabled for this world
- Warps, setting homes and tp-ing to other people are disabled in this world

How to get there:
- Join our server play.superfuntime.org
- Type /sw
- Enjoy


NOTE: I am looking forward for feedback, and if you find any ways to enter this world with pvp off (exploits or simply things we may have overseen, please DM me asap and tell me how)

Hi everyone,

This post is addressed to our Survival Playerbase (play.superfuntime.org).
What do you think we should do to spruce up / improve Survival and to make it relevant again (as in so it attracts more players).

What I won't do:
- A complete conversion to another game mode.
- Make Survival a great deal more challenging (as much as I wanted to go this route, the majority of the players showed us that they want a calm, relaxing experience.

What I am thinking of doing:
- Make the new temp world a world where pvp is enabled at all times and the difficulty is ramped up slightly (I can do that per world). Let me know what you think of this, would it work and how would you improve it.

Looking forward for your suggestions!

In my previous post, I've asked you to suggest games SFT could host servers for.
Now, I will ask you to vote in the poll.

Survival was updated to MC 1.15. Most plugins are ok, however some plugins have broken (eg: holograms, emotes)
As for the main star of this version, the Bees, I have chosen an unique approach for bees on SFT:
- A new small world (750 border) has been created at /update which will be reset every MC version update. Building is NOT ALLOWED there, as this is a hunting/gathering/mining world only. NOTE: We are not responsible for any items lost in this world, and we will not offer support.
- A free package has been added in the premium shop that has everything you need to get started with beekeeping http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/168593
- A plugin has been added that revives bees that have stung a person, after they die. It revives them at the or near the location they were when they died.

PS: Nether & End were reset

Does anyone still play on SurvivalHardcore?
Do any architects have stuff they need there?
Because I'd like to EOL that server.

Waiting 7 days to receive replies

PS: PE was EOL'd as well (Pocket Edition server)

Nether and End were reset on Survival today, as well as the server was updated to the latest plugin versions.

In a separate note, I would like to let you know that @abandoncaptian and I are working on a new MC Vanilla server with a clever twist. One particular "game mode" which has been all over youtube recently. No more details for now

He tried to make a request, but the form is broken (asked sasha to make a ticket and will check)

As you can probably see, the end of the Summer Vacation and beginning of school/college has taken a serious toll on our playerbase, as it does every year.
In order for us to continue providing entertainment for you, we ask that you help us by telling your friends / fellow students about our server.

Word of mouth is very powerful and has helped SFT persevere in the past. Tell your friends / fellow students about our gaming community and our servers. Ask them to come play with you on one of our servers and most importantly, don't forget to check in on our servers as often as possible! We miss you

For 48 hours, we have a sale on Survival that's practically causing us to lose money (not really).
If you buy stuff worth at least $30 from our premium shop, you will get a 60% discount!
To benefit from this sale, add items to cart worth at least $30 (in total - your cart should be at least $30) and then marvel at the 60% savings you get!

http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/

NOTE: The sale is active for 48h. Countdown

After studying the cause of lag on Survival, we determined that to be Hoppers.
We are currently trying an experimental fix, which may or may not break your redstone contraptions.

Until now:
ticks-per:
  hopper-transfer: 8
  hopper-check: 1
hopper-amount: 1

This means: Every 8 ticks (1 tick = 1/20 of a second), one item gets passed through a hopper (note: this could be slower, the example above is for 20TPS)
Also every 1 tick, hoppers get checked!? (I don't understand that either)

Now:
ticks-per:
  hopper-transfer: 24
  hopper-check: 24
hopper-amount: 3

- Every 24 ticks , 3 items are passed
- Every 24 ticks hoppers are checked !?

Basically what you need to know is that hoppers will be slower, but will transfer 3 items at once instead of 1 to compensate for it.

Do not adjust any redstone yet, as this is just for a trial period and we are not sure if we are keeping this (if it turns out it helps immensely with the lag, we will)

Survival premium shop is 50% off for today only! Head on and grab something or you may miss it!

ChestSort will automatically sort every chest after you have used it.

You can enable or disable this feature if desired with the simple command /chestsort. You can also sort your own inventory using the command /invsort. You can also use hotkeys (shift-click) within inventories to have them sorted, if you do not wish automatic sorting.

The chest contents are sorted by category and/or alphabetically and stackable things will be stacked. By default, items will be put before blocks. Automatic sorting will work with chests, enderchests, shulker boxes and barrels. Sorting by hotkeys works with the player inventory, too. Wool, Terracotta and other dyeable blocks will also be sorted by color.

First of all, I would like to thank @omelott for his suggestion and coming up with the perks (and @TeraStorm as well for perks/kits/organizing it)

Legend 1-5 were revamped (or rather their perks were).

Tycoon: - now gains /kit tycoon
Tycoon kit: experience_bottle 3 | pumpkin_pie 3 | wolf_spawn_egg 1 (24h cooldown)

Legends - these are your new perks (old perks were not kept, so only what is here is in the kit)

Legend: BCV, Cookie, Vanity Pack
Legend 2: Personal Weather
Legend 3: Compass
Legend 4: Big Warp Pack /bus
Legend 5: /Heal /sandwich

NOTE: Permissions are cumulative so for example Legend3 has Legend1+Legend2+Legend3 perks (except kits, those are per rank)



In addition to that /kit legend /kit legend1 through legend5 were added as well.

Legend kit: experience_bottle 4 | pumpkin_pie 3 | oak_sign 16 | cookie 1 | stick 1 (24h)
Legend2 kit: experience_bottle 5 | golden_apple 2 | horse_spawn_egg 1  (24h)
Legend3 kit: experience_bottle 6 | pumpkin_pie 4 | parrot_spawn_egg 1 | compass 1 (48h)
Legend4 kit: experience_bottle 7 | golden_apple 2 | cat_spawn_egg 1 (48h)
Legend5 kit: experience_bottle 8 | pumpkin_pie 5 | donkey_spawn_egg 1 (48h)

Please answer the following question:

- Your minecraft nickname
- Have you played on our bTeam server before
- Is this adorable or what (picture below)

So, I like copying succesful moves from other companies, so seing WoW classic released, kinda gave me an idea...


bTeam Classic. We re-launch b-team, we make it whitelist only and to be whitelisted you have to be a premium user. That means you have to have had at least one purchase from any of our premium shops.

This is just an idea, thoughts?

@TeraStorm @Kakota  - These are your new Community Ambassadors for Survival.
Their role, as described in my post towards them is:

ommunity Ambassadors : @TeraStorm @Kakota
- Your duty will be to constantly communicate with people in-game / discord / forums and hear out their suggestions, hear their woes (eg: when they think a rule should be changed, etc). It will be your job to not only listen to a single person's wishes, but to try and ascertain what the entire community as a whole wants.
- Your tools will be the forum topics, the forum polls. Don't forget, when there's an important suggestion on forums to tag people in #announcements with @Survival Player so they don't miss it out. But forum should be the primary means of ascertaining what the community wants.

Poor: I would consider you not doing your job if players tell me: X never listens to my suggestions, they ignore me
Ok: You do your job, but you do it only for the bare necesities. No improvement comes from your position, and the players are frustrated about changes they requested and either were not listened to or ignored
Great: If your job is impactful, as in, due to you being a great community ambassador, things change that a lot of players are very happy about (eg all players want let's say the tax to be reduced to 5%. You come to me, I'll probably tell you well.. no, but prove me that everyone will be extatic and show me how that will help us as a server. And if you manage to prove me and it actually works out great, that will be considered as you doing your job great.

They will not get special ranks for this, as this is simply part of their Manager+ duties (they are the ones that got assigned this.

So yeah, just FYI, you will probably see them make a series of posts and polls soon, please get involved if you want

We are doing a special giveaway, for amazing SFT-ers who bring their friends to SFT.
You can win $50 on SFT Premium Shops / Steam / XBL / PSN / NINTENDO SWITCH / AMAZON US/CA

I'm looking for some places where we can advertise for $50-$100.
These places could either be web ads, or for example an advertisement on a huge discord server.

Things I am not interested in:
- Adsense (I just don't know how to make it work for us, last time I tried it cost us like $2 per click so that's just not worth it and in my opinion the worst unless you have a SEO team and a budget upwards of $5000
- Facebook Ads (Due to technical reasons eg: I owe facebook 300 euro from when I last advertised SFT and their shitty ads didn't stop because of a bug)
- Places that are not for advertising (eg: I am not interested in submitting the site to a vote site or something similar).


Would greatly appreciate it if you have some tips

Do you have any ideas about how to improve survival?
Do you know of a price that needs to be changed, or setting of a plugin that needs to be altered or a rule that would need changing or something else?

Then post your suggestion here.

NOTE: It is very important that you do not post unless you have a suggestion. A suggestion should also include the proposed resolution. Random example: I believe the warp limit is too low and should be raised to <xx>.

NOTE: Saying things like "I hate the ..." or "I dislike the..." without providing a resolution will not help at all. So please refrain


@SashaLarie @TeraStorm @MasterX70  - I need your help keeping this thread organized and clean. If you see a good suggestion, pin it to the first post, otherwise reply to the user and tell them why their suggestion is not relevant right now, or have them make a poll if it's something controversial.

Do you like playing Minecraft and Pokemon? Why not play them together...
Check out SFT Pixelmon if you want to play Pokemon in Minecraft https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/sft-pixelmon.162655

NOTE: Server IP is in favorites after you download the modpack and launch it.

..and there's a sweet nod to SFT turning 10 in Sep 2020
ETA to release date: 48h

I'd like to remind you about Patreon. Patreon is a way to support SFT long term and get awesome, unique perks, better than you could get even from the premium shop.
Even $5 / mo helps us immensely, please become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia


Examples of how Patreon helped us:
- It has helped us not have to be on the limit every month and not know whether we will be able to pay the bills or not. Even the $100 / mo we get right now for Patreon, gives us stability and ease of mind. I'd love if that amount was around $200 / mo, that way I wouldn't even have to beep you with this rare monthly message.
- It has allowed us to better organize tooling and java source code through the purchase of a github pro account. We now have all the SFT plugins in one place, and collaboration between devs is now actually possible (eg: if a plugin needs to be fixed, a dev can commit a fix, another dev can commit another fix).
https://github.com/SFTMedia (note, plugins are private so you won't see the sourcecode)
- You people may not know, but some plugins (from spigot) cost. They can cost anywhere from $1 to $20. Usually around the $10 mark. So basically Patreon has allowed us to make our servers more interesting and more diverse.


Thank you, and please consider becoming a patron. You get awesome perks, and my undying appreciation!

[Current features:]

We have added a new plugin called PyroMon, made by our friend @PyroTempus
This plugin basically adapts PokemonGo to minecraft.

You will probably want to read the info in this page to learn how to use it: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/pyromon-1-13-x-1-14-x.69110/

If not, just type /pm and try to learn that way

Current features:

    Realistic catching mechanics - Catch PyroMon just like you do in Pokemon GO! You have 3 spins, if it gets past them all, you catch it! Be careful, it can break out. Use better PyroBalls for a higher chance to catch them!
    Full Customization - Everything in the plugin can be customized. Want to make your own PyroMon? You can. Want to translate everything into another language? Done. Want to have fully custom names for the PyroBalls? Also done. If you want something specific adding, let me know!
    CP / Statistic Scaling Features - As the CP of PyroMon go up, their stats increase. The stats can be fully configured in the PyroMon.yml file.
    Easy to use Crafting System - To make the PyroBalls, there is a very simple crafting system (/pm crafter). Use this to access the crafting inventory to make some PyroBalls!
    Player Statistics - Want to see how you compare with your fellow Minecrafters? You can! Use (/pm stats <player>) in game.
    Economy Aspects - Sell your PyroMon to the (/pm shop) and earn money! You can also collect them for future updates!
    Full in-game Codex - See PyroMon in game using the codex command. See all their stats, mob type, elemental types and much more.

I'd like to introduce SteveCo Crate #59 - The Toy Story set.
Suggested by @hi735!

NOTE: You can get SteveCo crates by /vote -ing or by purchasing a crate drop from the shop http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/939609

I have created a 20% sale in the premium shop! Take advantage of that and drop some crates for your friends!

Good news! You can now join using your 1.14.4 client.
The servers (Survival/SHC/Creative/PizzaSpleef) are not yet updated to 1.14.4 but access is possible through ViaVersion / Protocol Hack

Happy Birthday Dpa! Sorry for being a shitty friend :S.
I'll try to do better.

Thank you for all you did and keep doing on SFT and thank you for putting a touch of Dpa in an otherwise boring landscape.
