We will be seeing the rise of Minecraft 1.8 soon.

When this happens, Mojang will start allowing you to change your Minecraft usernames.
Please note that if you change your username:

• You will lose ALL of your data (Meebles, Items, Towns & Residency, Hiscores, etc)
  
• You will lose ALL of your donator ranks
• No one will know who you are! You will be a loner.
• Someone else can steal your old username and your assets above!

For this reason we ask you, do not change your username!

An administrator will not help you recover your assets if you do!

Thanks.

Editson’s Guide To Towny Perms

This section is an all-inclusive guide to setting up and using Towny Perms for your plot or town, and also how to successfully set up and operate a Grinder while maintaining 100% control of it.

This thread will not cover 100% of commands, only the maintaining & controlling of perms to your liking. For a complete command listing of Towny perms, go to this link:

http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/towny/wiki/Commands


Understanding Permissions

Controlling Towny permissions can seem extremely confusing at first, but this should clear up any misconceptions or questions you may have and make things a lot easier. Here is a breakdown of how perms work, and some things to remember/understand when using them.

There are 3 types of perms:

1. Town perms (/town or /t)

2. Res perms (/res)

3. Plot perms (/plot)

They each follow the same syntax, but the commands are slightly different:

- /town set perm [resident/outsider/ally] [build/destroy/itemuse/switch] [on/off]

- /res set perm [friend/outsider/ally] [build/destroy/itemuse/switch] [on/off]

- /plot set perm [friend/outsider/ally] [build/destroy/itemuse/switch] [on/off]


- /town toggle [fire/explosions/pvp/mob]

- /res toggle [fire/explosions/pvp/mob]

- /plot toggle [fire/explosions/pvp/mob]


Here’s a list of what each of those corresponds to:

- Resident = any player that is a resident of your town (not embassy owners)

- Friend = any player on your friends list (to see it, just type /res)

- Outsider = any player on server

- Ally = any player from an allied town in your nation


- Build = Place any block

- Destroy = Remove any block

- Itemuse = Use an item (fire charge, flint & steel)

- Switch = Open/use any door, pressure plate, button, lever, chest, etc…


- Fire = Fires spread from one block to another

- Explosions = TNT explosions

- PVP = Combat between players

- Mob = Mob activity on plot


Understand that these perms are structured

Because there are 3 sets of perms for 3 different types of situations, you must understand which perm overrides which. Here is the order in which is the easiest to think about them:

Towny < Res < Plot

Your town perms affect your town only. Specifically, your town perms are only applied to any plot that is marked ‘Unowned’ whether it is for sale or not.

Your res perms affect each of the plots you own anywhere. This means the plot says it IS owned, and not unowned.

Plot perms can be applied specifically to one plot at a time to override certain perms that either town perms or res perms were previously applied to. Non mayors can apply this to any plot they own, and it is beneficial because they can keep the same perms with res perms on every plot they own, but can change 1 perm on 1 plot for a certain reason…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an example to put this into perspective:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- I own 5 plots ( I am not a mayor), and I want my friends (on my friends list) to be able to use my chests on any plot I own, BUT one of the plots is a huge storage area and I DON’T want anyone to be able to do anything on it… then here is what you would type, in order.

While standing anywhere in the Towny server, you would do:

/res set perm off

(this sets all perms for all plots OFF under /res)


/res set perm friend switch on

(this sets the ability for your friends ONLY to be able to use chests, etc, on every plot you own)

Then, walk over and stand on the plot you would like to apply overriding/plot perms to, then you would do:


/plot set perm friend switch off

(this turns off the ability for friends to use chests, etc, on this one plot only, which overrides the /res perms you set earlier)


You can apply a number of combinations of this depending on the amount of plots you own and what they are used for/how they are used. One thing to remember is that the ‘resident’ perm under /town perms is different than the ‘friend’ perm under /res and /plot perms and they do not correlate or mix.

You cannot apply perms for people on your friends list to plots that you do not own personally… Visa Versa, you cannot apply resident perms on plots that are owned by you or any other player… their plot is reserved for them and their own /res perms. Unowned plots are the ones set up under Town perms (resident/outsider/ally).


Important Notes***

It is important to note that when you first join the server, your /res perms are automatically set to all on for friends only. Be aware that when you add friends to your friends list (with /res friend add [player]), they will be able to do anything on your plots, unless you manually turn them off. It is a smart thing to do, as is learning and understanding all of this information. To turn off every perm for everyone, you can do:

/res set perm off

It’s also important to note that when you change your res perms, the plot perm that was manually set for each plot will stay the same. Also, the plot perms are also set by default to be on for your friends, for the first plot that you own. To turn them off to be safe and to know you have everything off you can just do:

/plot set perm off

(Just to be safe, on plots that you want no activity on, except for yourself)


Using this guide, you can create some nice combinations and truly master the access on plots in your town or plots that you own. My other thread will be on how to set up the perfect grinder using a simple build and utilizing Towny perms to control access and keep things safe. To read that you can click HERE (to be added)

If you have any questions or suggestions on how to fine-tune this guide, then feel free to post a reply and I will review it personally. The sole purpose of the thread is to solidify the understanding and execution of Towny Permissions and to reduce the number of Meep crimes committed around the misuse of them.

 

As many of you know, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma were where we spent countless hours getting to know each other and having fun playing minecraft. Great time was spent playing and enjoying the server: collecting resources, building towns and grinders, enjoying the thriving economy, and making new friends. All of this is consequential to the fond memories that were formed. Some of the greatest builds, masterpieces, were built over the course of hundreds to thousands of hours. Many new players came into the community, while farewells were said to some old. The fun and friendship we experienced will not be forgotten, and will not end.


With the release of the unified towns world, after an unexpected reset, many players in the community requested that we put the legacy worlds up for download. The relaunch of MeepCraft with a reset of towny, new jobs, and so much more resulted in the divulging of many issues that required balancing and correction. Due to this it took some time to fulfill the well warranted request to make the legacy worlds available for download. Providing a means for the community to download of the legacy worlds was the utmost priority to insure the time and effort put into these worlds was not without peril.


Today we are happy to announce that the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma worlds are available for download! Preserving the memories and creations built during the legacy towns era was fundamental to our decision to release the worlds. It is our hope that these worlds are downloaded, explored, and enjoyed from time to time. As MeepCraft continues to move forward in a positive direction it is important not to dwell on our past, but to rather learn from our mistakes and continue for the better.

The world downloads are relatively large so please be aware of that when downloading.​

Alpha
Beta
Gamma​

 

After months of work and development by administrators and our amazing builder Notux, we are finally able to say that we have released the new spawn!

There are a lot of new places in the spawn and we'll constantly be adding more features as the week progresses. We have plans to re-add the bank, change the shop prices, add p-holos, fix minigames, and much more

Thank you to all of the staff and Diana for your help with the new spawn!

I hope all of you enjoy.

 

Hey!

So we understand this came as a surprise to you all. Trust me, It caught us off guard as well.

We thought most things were alright but that was not the case. We were alerted that we have less than 10 hours comply with the EULA or we will be shut down.

We had 2 choices. Shut down and redo everything without allowing you guys on, or go through every permission node for the 10 hours straight and remove what we have to do be compliant.

We spent the 10 hours removing everything we had to, and moving everything we had to in order to comply. We also gathered some ideas to put together to let you know that we will be adding some pretty amazing things to the ranks.

Unfortunately, some perks cannot come back. This stinks for us all and believe me. Fuzzlr pushed very hard with Mojang but they did not budge.

Certain commands WILL make a comeback. We just need to make them available to everyone and purchasable with Meebles. We did not have time to go through all these, or re-add these. We also did not have time to remove the lores on /fixed items however that will be addressed.

Things like fly may become available through hourly buying them with meebles. We just need to go through it all and re add what were allowed to so PLEASE. Have patience.

We are all very stressed about this but these things are not what make Meep, Meep.
We need to pull together and come up with ideas to get this server to be top notch again. This done not come through toxicity or complaining. It comes through maturity and sharing ideas in a organized manner.

Feel free to suggest things but please keep in mind, we have a big list and are working hard to get them done.

We love you all and cant wait to see how everyone comes together!

-Meep Staff.

 

Member Name: Already talked about this in my last appeal, but my current IGN for the time being is kushyy, until I think of a new name to change it to.

Additional In Game Names: Player, Player1, Player2 and ohDraqq (I have other alts, but I only consider these my "main" accounts)

When you were banned: Can't remember exactly when, but It was a good few months ago.

Reason for ban: Toxic Player/Re-ban of Sjoes ban

Ban Length: Perm

Staff member who issued ban: Sjoepappentrap/Cooleysworld

Why we should consider your appeal:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN RESPONSE TO MY LAST APPEAL >>

Like I said in my last appeal..Cooleys was the one who said that I can make an appeal and that he'd be dealing with it personally I'm not trying to mean anything malicious by any means here and I know that I literally have no say or choice in who deals with the appeal but I'd rather it would be Cooleys since he's the staff member that I feel that I've broken his trust with far too many times - and from my knowledge lower staff can't accept or deny since it was supposed to be an admin dealing with it because it was an admins ban (Please correct me if I'm wrong here, this is just what I've been told) I am more than happy to wait for his arrival back.

Well, it's been a good few months now, since I've been banned, many things have happened and many things have changed (staff can message be about during my..well I guess you could call it a "withdrawal" from Meepcraft and I know this ban appeal is that last thing some of the staff want to see from me. From my knowledge I was banned for being a toxic player, I still don't quite know all the details about my ban other than what I just said, so..I'll right this in the context of being banned for being a Toxic Player. To start this off, yes I did used to say that Meep was somewhat dying before I got permed (the perm ban before the current one) Yes I did complain about nearly everything wrong/broken with the server, but this time I really dont see what I did/said that got me perm banned, I think I had only 1 kick (cant remember what for, but nothing major). I've never used the excuse that Meep was dying due to drop from 1000 players to 100/150 a day, simply because I never played during that time period. I agree with the BS thing stopping you as staff from fixing stuff, and I know how hard all of the staff team have been working to fix the server, but internally and externally. I really can't seem to see myself on the server all the time like I used to, as I'm not really into Minecraft anymore, I just want to catch up with old friends and players from the server - I know you're about to say something along the lines of "If you do not wan't to play, why would we bother unbanning you?" and simply to say, not saying that I won't play but like I just said the main reason would only to be catching up with the players, which may give me more motiviation to put in as much time into the server like I had done previously and maybe find one of my old towns to revive and work on. If staff see a different side, so be it.
Previous appeals denied reasons from my serious appeals:


Cooleysworld: //Denied! We are doing you a favor, you always say how Meep is terrible and dying etc
etc. I don't want you to have to deal with these terrible things you say is happening. You should be allowed to be somewhere you want to be, sorry we were holding you back from happiness.//
Like I have already said partially above and in my other appeals, this isn't a favor for me, this was a favor for the staff and players of Meepcraft to not have me on the server and I could totally see why. The times I did complain about things, only lasted a few days max and was because I was bored of the server at the time with nothing really to do nor a vast amount of ways to make money. Times have changed since then and I've been following the Updates on the forums and have been speaking with staff about the changes and I can say that these are a great improvement for the server and that the staff are now doing their best to please the players as much as possible and I and many others players appreciate it a lot. If I should be allowed to be somewhere I want to be; like you said, at the moment and in the future I want to be on Meepcraft, as I do miss the server and community of meepcraft and I'm very ecited in meeting all the new players the server has brought in. Pretty much the same but, you shouldn't be sorry for "holding me back from happiness" I should be sorry for holding the server and players back from all my wrongdoings.

Quaddy: //Time and time again you have found yourself in this position, and it seems equally as many times we have made the mistake of issuing an unban. You've proven to be toxic to the community and staff of this server and I don't see this moment fitting for your return.Denied.//
Yes, I know that I have found myself in the position, again and again and..again and although I wish I could, there's nothing I can do to turn back time the only thing I can do is prove that I can prove is this time the staff won't feel as if they have made a mistake of unbanning me and I know they won't, but I can't really prove that if i'm not directly on the server. Although the players won't see this, I've been trying to prove myself as a worthy person to unban via chatting with numerous amount of staff members trying to re-gain their trust and so far it has been successful, which I feel is a good start and I can see that most of the community would welcome me back due to the numerous amounts of threads or mentions of me in them and the fact that I had got 65 likes alone in my appeal alone and how some of my friends from the server are actually making their way to come play with me on other servers rather than playing on meep proves that. Again this is a common topic within in this appeal but, a lot has changed and I feel it is relevant as I've been banned for a pretty long time and that has gave me adequate enough time to improve on myself as a person and have now learned where to draw the line which I hadn't been doing previously on the server. I'd like to say this again and also said it in my last appeal for my last unban, but I had no bans or kicks (to my knowledge, please correct me if i'm wrong or whatever) I may have had a kick, not entirely sure but If I can't remember, It couldn't have been that major.

------If you feel I have missed one out, please link me to it. I'd me more than grateful. --------






I'm sorry if there's a lot of grammar mistakes or misplaced words but my mouse is on it's last life
and randomly does stupid stuff such as triple clicking instead of single clicking or generally clicking on random things.



EDIT: I just noticed notepad corrupted a great chunk of this, I'll try add it back in later.
