Editing RHIT Minecraft Server (section)

== Server FAQ ==
'''Please read before asking a question as it saves us time to help improve the server.''' If you have a similar question, please go ahead. But if it's an exact duplicate, please read before asking. If you'd like something clarified, please DO ask and we will update the FAQ accordingly. There are some things in PvP that have to be kept random/secret to make the game fair for everyone.

* Why is the server laggy/down?
** If the <code>mc.rhlug.org</code> IP address does not work, you can also try <code>mc.rhlug.org:25565</code> or <code>137.112.104.202:25565</code>.
**; If on campus: Please check whether you're connected to eduroam. Some areas of campus (e.g. near Hunt Street) don't usually have a fast connection to eduroam.
**; If off campus: Please check whether you're connected to the VPN and your internet connection has a low enough latency/ping time (preferably less than 50ms).
** We have set up notifications using [https://www.netdata.cloud/ Netdata] to notify us when the server is laggy or down, which will help us. We are doing our best to respond, if you see a problem, please let us know in the Discord!
**; Also, not all lag can be eliminated, but we have really good server hardware designed to stop most of it. We limit view distance to reduce some lag, and may install additional plugins to mitigate more lag depending on demand.

* I cannot place or break blocks. Why is that?
** You cannot place or break blocks on the lobby server. I intentionally set it up this way because the lobby server is meant to be a hub for the other servers. You can only break blocks outside of the yellow square boundary on the PvP, PvE, or Creative worlds.
**; The borders are now more explicit in the PvP, PvE, and Creative worlds. They are marked with yellow blocks. Step outside of it and you should be able to add blocks, etc. You cannot add/destroy blocks inside the yellow-blocked square area.
**; It was intentionally set up that way so that people move out from spawn instead of blocking other people from getting resources (which is what happened in the original PvP world in the past).

* How do I teleport to a different server while keeping my position in my current world?
** Simple. Type <code>/sethome</code> , then type <code>/server {pvp, pve, creative}</code> (pick one of <code>pvp</code>, <code>pve</code> or <code>creative</code>) to go to another server. You can skip typing <code>/sethome</code>, but if Essentials glitches, you'll have to relocate your current position if you didn't set a home as a backup. 
*** '''Your position will be restored automatically once you return. If it doesn't, type <code>/home</code> to go back.'''
** On PvP (assuming Fabric is implemented), type <code>/sethome {home name}</code> and then <code>/server {pve, creative}</code> (pick one of <code>pve</code> or <code>creative</code>) to go to another server. You can skip typing <code>/sethome</code>, but if Gunpowder Teleport glitches, you'll have to relocate your current position if you didn't set a home as a backup. 
*** '''Your position will be restored automatically once you return. If it doesn't, type <code>/home {home name}</code> to go back.'''

* What is the world seed for the PvP world?
** I apologize, we cannot reveal the seed. This has to be kept random to make the game fair for everyone. Others in the Discord chat have suggested that this be random.

* What's your favorite color?
** I like green.
* Can I see the Netdata portal or Netdata Cloud instance?
** Sorry, we're only allowing admins to view the portal/cloud instance to prevent DDOS attacks and keep information secure/private.

* How can I suggest an idea?
** Feel free to [https://discord.gg/AQ2rU6B post on our Discord] in the #ideas channel. If you prefer email, you can [[RHIT_Minecraft_Server#Server Maintainers and Testers|email us]] as well.
