Editing RHIT Minecraft Server

Note: This page is now obselete. Please see the RH Minecraft & Terraria discord server for current IPs.

== IP Address ==

{{Huge|The IP address of this server is <code>137.112.104.136</code>.}}

The server is compatible with version '''Minecraft 1.21.1'''. Any later or earlier versions will not work.

Playing will not count against your bandwidth!

=== To Access Off Campus ===
You will need to access the GlobalProtect VPN. [[Accessing the Off-Campus VPN|Click here for instructions for how to do so on Linux]] and [https://rose-hulman.microsoftcrmportals.com/knowledgebase/article/KA-01278/en-us Windows].

== Server Commands ==
NOTE: PvP has some different commands, because of how we implemented Fabric on that server.

<code>/lobby</code>: Go to the lobby server

<code>/server {lobby, pvp, pve, creative}</code> (e.g. <code>/server pvp</code>): Go to your current position in another server, or the spawn of that server if you haven't joined that one yet

<code>/vote</code>: If someone is sleeping in a bed, this lets you vote to change the time to daytime, OR clear lightning, through the [http://github.com/Pengooin/EasyBed EasyBed plugin]. You will see a message pop up in chat when this happens.

<code>/spawn</code>: Go to spawn

<code>/sethome</code> OR<code>/sethome {home name}</code>: Set a home (Essentials)

<code>/home</code> OR<code>/home {home name}</code>: Go to a certain home (Essentials)

<code>/tpa {Minecraft player username}</code>: Send teleport request to a player

<code>/tpaccept</code>: Accept teleport request from a player

<code>/tpdeny</code>: Deny teleport request from a player

{{Smaller|(NOTE: <code>/home</code> no longer redirects to the main server as of 10/8/2020, to allow people to use Essentials homes. You should use <code>/lobby</code> instead.)}}

== Server Commands (PvP) ==
NOTE: PvP has some different commands, because of how we implemented Fabric on that server.

<code>/spawn</code> OR <code>'''/warp spawn'''</code>: Go to spawn

<code>/server {lobby, pve, creative}</code> (e.g. <code>/server pve</code>): Go to your current position in another server, or the spawn of that server if you haven't joined that one yet

NOTE: To vote for daytime, you'll need to actually sleep in a bed. Sorry about that. You will see a message pop up in chat '''a few seconds after''' one or more players sleep. [https://github.com/Gunpowder-MC/GunpowderSleepVote/blob/3bb7e52430c8bfaaadc4118f2c8313daeda03042/src/main/kotlin/io/github/gunpowder/GunpowderSleepVoteModule.kt Maybe we could adapt the Gunpowder SleepVote plugin to allow for a custom voting command]? If you'd like to see this, please let us know in the Discord or through email.

<code>/sethome</code> OR<code>/sethome {home name}</code>: Set a home (Gunpowder Teleport)

<code>/home</code> OR<code>/home {home name}</code>: Go to a certain home (Gunpowder Teleport)

<code>/tpa {Minecraft player username}</code>: Send teleport request to a player

<code>/tpaccept</code>: Accept teleport request from a player

<code>/tpdeny</code>: Deny teleport request from a player

== Servers ==
* PvP

* PvE

* Creative

== Server Upgrades ==
* Combat Logging Ban on PvP: A vote on this will happen in the Discord.
* New Servers: sometime in the future (depending on demand)
** Need some ideas?: Here are some starting thoughts. What modpacks, mods, or world seeds should it have?

== Server Plugins and Configuration ==
To be updated soon: https://github.com/RHLUG-Org/MC-Project-Documentation-and-Scripts

Bungeecord is installed on each server. 1 server (Lobby, PvP, PvE, Creative) per CPU core with Bungeecord = better performance.

We are not posting banned players' names, UUIDs, or any other personal information in this configuration for privacy reasons. We would never do things like that.

This configuration is being used to help people understand how the server works and get ideas for other builds, or to improve this server.

== Server Specs ==
https://github.com/RHLUG-Org/MC-Project-Documentation-and-Scripts/blob/master/Infrastructure/Current.md

== Planned Maintenance Periods ==

* TBD

== Alumni ==
We are coming up with a solution soon. The reason for the delay is that we need to work with EIT to keep the Rose-Hulman network secure. Keep an eye out on the Wiki or on the Discord for any announcements!

== 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.

== Server Maintainers and Testers ==
