Halloween Event FAQ
Who is eligible to build?
A: All players currently ranked with member status or greater Please send a request to be added to the white-list.
How do I join the Halloween Creation server?
A: This server is running the 1.4 week 41 snapshot at the moment. To Join, you will need to patch your game and connect to the server running at wave.fourz.org . This server will be online here until the event starts.
NOTE: To go back to 1.3.2 either force update or drag the original minecraft.jar back in the bin and the 1.4 pre release one out! Why are we using creative mode?
A: This world will be in adventure mode. No placed blocks put into this world will be accessible to the players to be abused. We are using creative mode for the building of the world to allow everyone to decisively create these adventures and do so quickly. It is a different play style that some prefer.
What should I do? What should I build?
A: Anything that fits the Halloween theme. Haunted houses, creepy bridges, cemeteries.. this goes on and on. Use your imagination. If you need inspiration, this folklore site or a google search can help you. These are both great resources for ideas. Build individual buildings or a series of them to be used in a quest-line. We need a library, a tavern and a few houses at the spawn village. All quests will launch from there. See the diagram below for an example of how the quest-lines should be done.
How are you going to make the map playable more than once?
A: We will reset the map every 6-12 hours or so. Everyone will have the opportunity to play through the map.
What should I give out for rewards?
A: Nothing that will upset the server economy or destroy it othersise. No Wither heads, diamonds, or tnt, or enchanted diamond tools and armor. For rare materials (like cracked or chiseled stone-brick), never give out more than 3 in one chest unless it is a end reward chest and then limit to 10. Try to use one-time use or limited supply resources rather than common building materials. Please also stay away from most crafted items outside of potions and pre-iron graded tools and armor.
Good examples: cake, cookies, iron tools, spawn eggs (limited to 5 at once), pumpkin pie, mossy stone brick, dyes, enchanting potions (limit 10 to a small chest, 20 to end reward), written trophy books, saddles (limit 1), emeralds (limit 5 to a small chest, 10 to end reward), records (limit 1), potions (limit 1 per chest)
Bad examples: Cobble, stone, redstone, wood, plants, paper, mine carts, iron ingots, iron blocks, bricks, chests, pistons, or redstone lamps.
Blacklisted (do not use): End portal blocks, bedrock, wither heads, diamonds, diamond blocks, record 2266, TNT, Fire Charges.
If you must give gold, let if be a limited number of gold nuggets such as 1-3. Make the rewards challenging to get.
DO NOT CREATE A SECRET CHEST ONLY YOU INTEND TO RETURN TO. THIS WOULD BE CHEATING.
