    Hello fellow MCNews community users,

    In collaboration with EmberCore.com, a well renouned server Hosting affiliate, MCNews has recently rolled out two new servers for play!

    Server 1 - Official MCNews "LIVE" Server. This server is run and operated by staff here at MinecraftNews.net. There are a varying degree of plugins running on the server right now. We will strive to keep the server file up to date with the latest official releases of Minecraft. Lets point out just a few..
    GuestGuard - for those new users to prohibit random waves of griefers
    Factions - Join up with friends, family, or acquaintances to grow communities within the game, defend and or war with neighboring communities of factions.
    Essentials - for those in game essentials
    Lockette - protect your lewts! doors, furnaces and other accessible items
    dynmap - click on your URL link and get an overview map of the entire server, 3D and even some subterranean views!
    AntiCheat - So we can see what your NOT supposed to be doing.
    Jail - Oh, yeah, nasty people get blasted to the Moon.
    ... and many others.

    We also encourage website members with registered user names and minimum of 10 posts to join. Those eligible will receive a special kit, made ready for adventuring quickly!
    Wood, Basic tools (including a BUCKET!.. ZZOMG), Armor kit, Coal, Premade Torches... ahem.. and 5 Diamonds to do whatever you wish.


    Other useful things to do with the server


    By clicking on this link, it will give you information about a voice server you can connect to.

    However, if you click this link, it will take you to a world viewer. This is great if you are still weary about joining the server!




    The details about the server (specs):
    Dual Xenon Quad CPUs
    3G RAM servers, for 32GB capcity
    200 available slots
    8 core CPUs with multilevels of priority per server
    Anti-DDoS support


    Extra information/Rules:


    - Must complete the Quiz at spawn. (ok, y'all are gonna love this) Spawn has a rule board, with a MUST pass quiz to grant you access to the outside of the spawn area and to begin your adventures.

    - Special Kits are Only for members / users of www.minecraftnews.net, who meet the criteria listed above.

    - No whitelist, but, as stated, you must complete the quiz. Special note here:
    If you do not pass the quiz, you arent granted access to the world. Also passing the quiz, means you accept the terms of the server rules, and as such, if found to have violated just one rule.. ITS HAMMER TIME

    - Health, PVP and Mobs are on, so care for yourself.

    - The Server is set to Normal.

    -There will be NO granted requests for silly things such as, but not excluding the following:

    - IP address to the server: 216.244.85.204:25565


    -Admin makes frequent visits to people and their structures, builds, battles, and generally surveys the land. If you get creeper craters a lot, and dont fill them back up, you just may get your base nuked from orbit... he's been known to have an odd sense of humor

    - Backups are very frequent.

    - Minecarts are allowed, but pick it up when you go! We don't need minecarts or boats lying around!

    Server rules

    DUPLICATION = BAN for futher notice.


    1. If someone has built a wall that's meant to say that this area is mine and I will build on this spot, the map is big no need to stand on someone.

    2. Do not build in 50 blocks from The Main Square.

    3. The chat is a friendly chat. No-one likes foul-mouthed behavior. Also, try to keep it English in chat.

    4. No cheats or hacks are allowed, this server will play by the rules of the game, so if you need resources you will turn to mining. textures and skins is okay, but flying and other hacks are forbidden and will lead to a ban.

    5. PVP - Do not kill anyone in they're own house... Wilderness... Fair game.

    6. If anyone catches anyone flying they should report them. They will be given one warning and the next is a ban until further notice.

    7. Avoid 1X1 towers as they clutter the map. ONLY use when building.




    Welcome to our first "LIVE" Minecraft server!


    Also, Huge projects are awarded with a warp, post them here on the site if you think you have something worthy.

    MainSquare - /spawn
    The Calls (Main Faction base) - /warp TheCalls
    Kiith (Main Faction base) - /warp Kiith
    Welgaia (Main Faction base) - /warp Welgaia




    And one final note:-

    Enjoy and have fun!!

      FYI, some of the info is outdated...

      Warps are inactive for example.

      it is broken if you log on it wont let you use anything even if you get the quiz right.

      Its not broken. Its that way on purpose right now. New players are able to do the quiz, and upon completion of the quiz, will be teleported down to the fountain. Which, then can press one of the warp buttons at one of the three mini towers in the fountain area, and be ported to the outside.

      I can confirm that it is indeed broken. I have three points to list:
      -First off, as soon as you get to the fountain, you are not permitted to interact with any of the wooden buttons or pressure plates, essentially trapping you there.
      -If you manage to escape, no matter how far you go, you are unable to do anything at all except walk.
      -It appears that only stone buttons are usable, although I have not seen any away from spawn to test them. You are not able to do anything at all other than press stone buttons with your bare fist, except talk of course, and thus, if you can't do anything else, I'd say it's pretty darn broken.

      Hey, thanks for admitting you've violated the security measure of the server. All new users are given the default group ID to be able to interface with the stone buttons.. to ensure you take the quiz. Successfully completing the quiz, then moves your user name from Default to be able to interact with all other object on the server. So, ya. Its working perfectly as intended. Since you clearly did violate the security measure, you werent able to "do anything else". The honest users of the server thank us for it. Have a good day!

      Actually, I did successfully complete the quiz, multiple times, but never was able to do anything else. I didn't expect to be able to do anything before the quiz, but after the quiz I couldn't do anything either. I tried going back via /spawn and completing it multiple times, to no avail, but I never was able to do anything more than hit the stone buttons and get teleported about. I am unsure as to how I violated the security measure of the server, seeing as I did everything I was supposed to. You were meant to be able to do things after the quiz, but I wasn't. Of course, after, I thought maybe I was too close to the fountain or something, so I escaped that area and walked away from there but without success. There were no signs telling me I was not allowed to leave the fountain after completing the quiz. I did eventually die and had had some stuff in my inventory (not sure why... I speculate it might be due to the fact that I've been on before, but long ago), but was never able to even eat the bread I had, and in the end, I died out there. I wasn't even able to pickup the items I had after getting back there, so I decided I would explore a little but quickly got bored and left, as I was clearly not going to be able to do anything, despite doing what it said to do. Maybe you took it as I escaped spawn, which I did not, but in the end if I truly wanted to escape spawn I'm sure I would've found a way, but I didn't try. I am uncertain as to how it is "working perfectly as intended" if I wasn't able to do anything other than hit the stone buttons in the quiz area, and then after completing it, do nothing else. All I had wanted to do was play some regular old survival minecraft, but I guess that isn't going to happen on this server.

      I complete the quiz successfully, was delivered to the fountain and nothing happened. It just kept saying...not permitted to use stone button, wood button, pressure plate, gate, or anything.
