Hi all

Hi all,

Given that warps are springing up all over the server I crafted a Google Doc where we can keep a running list of the warp commands.

Feel free to add any warps you'd like. I added the only two I know, so far.

Thank you to whomever saved my sheep and horse! I'm such a noob!

Hi All -- it's great to see all the work people have been doing on the server.

Hi All -- it's great to see all the work people have been doing on the server.

I've been trying to manage some things behind the scenes and adjust the plugins/permissions/settings and I think it's caused some confusion because I haven't been good about notifying people of the changes.

Plugins --
Our server uses Multiverse to handle multiple worlds
We use PerWorldInventory to keep creative and survival inventories seperate
MapManager provides better handling of the in-game maps
MelWarps - /warp and /warplist

Last week I added:
PermissionsEx - to handle ranks/permissions
EssentialsPro-Reloaded - for some basic services

When setting up PermissionsEx (or Pex)...i used a default config file that created 5 ranks:

default -- when you first join -- you can build, tp and warp
Builder -- you should be promoted quickly to this -- you can set warps and do all of the above
Moderator - can do slightly more -- can do /ep commands
Admin - Lots of power (and lots of responsibility)
Owner - Can do everything (me)

It's definitely a delicate dance to get the plugins working in concert but I have a better understanding of the permissions than I did a few weeks ago so we can do some fun things moving forward.

Does anyone have suggestions for Plugins that work with Bukkit/Spigot and Minecraft 1.10.2?

Next Monday at 8 PM Eastern VSTE meets in our Minecraft world, "VSTE Place." I'd love to have some EVO Minecraft MOOC members join us. I want to present the idea to VSTE that we do a "Survive the Summer" event from Memorial Day, May 29th, through Labor Day, September 4th. We'd have a survival map members can teleport to.

I'd love for any of you to come talk it up with me. We might have a panel discussion if there are enough of us, answering some questions that come up...

What's the big deal about survival? How do you start? What are some common goals we might adopt? Where do you get your best information about how to survive? That sort of thing.

Hi all

Hi all,

Another postcard from the expanse. I reckon I'm nine days walk due north of the village. I crossed two seas and one large ocean in my tiny birch boat so far. Along the way I spotted my first polar bear. Roaming across the icy mountains I spotted a singular building. Inside a ladder descended deep into the earth. At the bottom of the shaft sat two cages - one with a zombie, the other a witch. After commandeering some of their supplies I fled not sure what exactly was going on in that hut. I continued to venture farther afield.

As my day came to a close, I discovered some interesting geography, and just before logging out for the day I encountered a village. The village sits on the grassy plains beyond the icy mountains. Updates from the village soon.

Hi!

Hi! I'm Mattie Tsai. This is the first time I ride minecart in survival. I want to go back to the 2016 village to trade. How do you build a warp?:)

Title

Every night on Minecraft was pleasant and surprising. Since Mattie and I missed the server party on the 25th, we decided that we wanted to visit the village and trade with villagers as well. With Maha’s help, we warped to the villagers. Mattie traded happily but I was right there, totally surprised to have found a big sign " BardRose’s House." It's another one of many houses Rose built. “Wow, Rose, how many houses did you build? This is the fifth one that I found in three weeks!” Yes, I’m only three weeks old in Minecraft, so I am quite surprised. Later we found out it was the old 2016 Evo town. After Vance and Rose have joined us, we began our adventure back to the 2017 Evo town by rail. By RAIL!!! How cool was that!!! This was my first! :)

Mattie and I laughed our butts off when our carts bumped into each other’s and went for the opposite direction. Mattie found this amusing. He would intentionally bump into my cart so that I could not arrive at the station but go backwards unwillingly. The screaming and not knowing what to do, not being able to stop my own cart from moving backwards were what he found amusing!!!!! (Well, it was funny. I won’t deny it.) Rose and Vance were really patient with us fooling around. There’s this one time Rose decided that we go on foot on the rails. She went first, I second, followed by Mattie. Well, Mattie didn’t want to go last, so he ran past me and I fell into the water drowning. Mattie laughed at my clumsiness and he couldn’t stop laughing when I scream. He would help me hold the space bar to resurface to save me but that wouldn’t stop him from wanting to see me fall again.

Anyways, like what Vance wrote about our adventure, it was an unforgettable evening learning about the railing system and minecarts. I was really glad that Rose was there to teach us. Riding the minecarts is like going on rollercoaster rides. I didn’t know where the minecarts would take me or if I would arrive safely but the scenery on the way was fascinating! A railway system that connects the old town EVO2016 with our EVO 2017 is just WOW!

Love is in the air!

Love is in the air! Finally discovered a way to make villagers spawn naturally in the second village that Phil ( Dakotah Redstone ) had discovered days ago. This is the video I learned the trick from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YppeFVhw0E

Two days ago I decided to venture out into the world. I picked a direction and proceeded to walk. It was a fun bit of adventure. What struck me was the amount of evidence of people in the map. Just when I thought I'd been farther than ever before, I'd find some half-constructed building or the remains of an abandoned settlement. It's fascinating to get out an see a bit of the world.

Here are a few screenshots from my travels.

In Google+'s new interface (the old appears to have disappeared now from even my windows 7 devices) there is no longer an obvious connection between EVENTS to which the community was invited and our landing page here (unless I'm missing the obvious, which would by definition not be obvious). That being the case, I'm posting the video from our streamed event from yesterday here.

The event was attended by Rose Bard, David Dodgson, Linda Gielen, Maha Abdelmoneim, Jeff Kuhn, Jo Kay, as well as David Plume007, Dakota Restone, and Christophe Technotof, and myself of course (if I left anyone out, let me know, and I'll rectify the oversight in our archives).

Those archives are at http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/112913140/Live_events2017, where you'll find recordings of all our live events, as well as announcements of those upcoming (Feb 5 for example).

I have just filled in the following report on our numbers this year for the EVO Coordinators.

I have just filled in the following report on our numbers this year for the EVO Coordinators. The report says, "We have 293 in the Google Community, 22 who filled in the registration form for this year, 14 from that number who have actually been on our server, but a number of others who have been on the server from previous years in our community or have been whitelisted there without having filled in the form (e.g. some community members are there with their kids, always welcome :-). We have a solid core of around two dozen committed, active, and awsome creators in-world. These latter are modeling and learning amazing stuff with one another."

One statistic that emerges from the registration form data regards the 8 who filled in the form but who as far as I am aware have never joined us in-world. Five of these listed themselves as Newbies and two of those already had Minecraft IDs when they filled in the form. Of the other three, two said they could do simple tasks in MC and the other could build her own shelter.

Has there been a lot of activity on the creative server that I have been unaware of (because I haven't gone there lately)? I am concerned that whereas in previous years we nurtured people in creative world before switching to survival, by starting in survival, we may have let (not many, but) some fall through the cracks this year. Do you think this is a concern we should address in some way now, halfway through our EVO session, or in our next round of EVO?

If someone can give me a report on the what's been happening in creative, I could write these 8 people and ask them what we could do for them now or in the future. That should give us valuable feedback on how to structure our future sessions.

Time to go on an expedition!

This evening, I am going to explore caves near my new base in the snow biome and I would like to invite you all along to make it a group quest. I will be online at 1700 UTC and Vance will hopefully join me. The more the merrier so please come along.

I scouted the entrances yesterday and placed torches to mark the safe areas. There is a lot of coal down there and some iron. Lava too so we'll need to watch our steps.

I also found an underground river and built a dam to open up a deeper area. That's when I took an arrow in my knee from the darkness beyond and decided to call it a day.

Bring your armour and iron buckets! Hope to see you online later :)

How sweet! Look what I found when I logged in! I wish the person had left a note so I could thank. Thank YOU!

This showed the event from the perspective of presenter but not as participant (two very different experiences). You might further have seen that in order to access the WizIQ version that everyone else was viewing, you have to be registered on the Moodle that hosts that EVO session. I am registered there so I played the recording and captured it in Camtasia and uploaded it to YouTube, where you can now enjoy it from the perspective of participant at the event.

Logged in successfully and, a few minor crashes aside, had an uninterrupted couple of hours of play including:

- coming up through a trapdoor to find K4sons taking refuge. Zidkha later joined for an evening taunting the mobs from the rooftop deck.
- finding a creepy spider nesting right outside my front door.
- being stalked through the night by a creeper and deciding that the spider wasn't so bad after all.
- exploring into the snow and building a secondary base complete with tinted blue glass windows. There are caves and ravines galore nearby. Anyone want to join me next time for some mining? :)

Today, Sat Jan 21, at 1500 UTC #Learning2gether episode 358 will attempt a special treat, streaming from Minecraft using Discord for voice.

This is planned as an EVO Minecraft MOOC Server Party and Tour. If you're a member of #evomc17 and whitelisted on our server, you can join us in-world. But anyone can watch us on YouTube, at https://youtu.be/qwSLAzbwOcY, and you can interact with us in our text chat space at http://chatwing.com/vancestev

Tour guides who have indicated they'd be there include Rose Bard, Linda Gielen, Maha Abdelmoneim, Jane Chien , and Vance Stevens. All are welcome to participate however they can, and assuming all works well, a recording should be available at the YouTube link.

One small caveat, I've been experiencing internet timeouts lately. This sometimes pops me out of the game. I'm usually able to get right back, but I hope it won't impact the streaming. If so, short recording (cuz there's no respawn in streaming ... though maybe I could set something else up on the fly, we'll see what happens :-)

Three snapshots before I lost my connection again:

Three snapshots before I lost my connection again:

1. A pen full of cows and... skeleton riders? Is someone trying to raise an army of the undead? I was attacked by a wizard while taking the screenie so had to run before I could get a closer look.

On the topic of cattle pens, I had a cow outside my house a few days ago (I even milked it so definitely a cow) but today it seems to have morphed into a horse!

2. This wasn't here three days ago! Posed for a pic with my fancy gold pants and have only just realised I am inadvertently paying homage to Homer Simpson by standing there with a piece of beef in my hand...

3. Quite a dramatic sunset. Strange hobby - I have a virtual collection of screenshots of sunrises and sunsets from various games.

Now to try and fix my connection again.

Mattie and I really had fun exploring a mineshaft today.

Mattie and I really had fun exploring a mineshaft today. This is the first pleasant mining experience since I started playing as chienjane. Before today, it was a nightmare. We laughed about the much needed resilience as a newbie, respawning too many times that I lost count. Today, it was way better! Only 5 times. Not dying of starvation today because there was food in the fridge in the community farm offered by Linda. A total life saver! So glad Linda built a direct entrance to the mineshaft we were mining in and that Vance got to join us!!!

Oh! And BIG THANKS to Maha! I'm her new neighbor now!!! She taught me how to craft everything from scratch and we built a house next to hers! : ) I'm so glad that I didn't need to read the manual and figure out all the crafting by myself. Quoting ELTsandbox David, "your minecraft manual is the community!!" Well said!!!

Wow, I remember yesterday when Phil was logging out it was 5 in the morning and I couldn't believe it. But here I am, typing this up at 3:00am. Time to go to bed! Daylight, please don't come so soon this time. I need some sleep. :)

I found a huge mine under my house.

A long lonely night of exploring.

A long lonely night of exploring... so much frozen terrain! But finally, I discovered a village of willing traders who just needed some help fortifying their town. I have many pictures to share and stories to tell... but my pillow beckons... (I think you can read the village coords in the screen capture, if not I'll add an addendum-- be warned , it is far )

I'm a slacker for not getting any in-game pictures, but I got some building time in tonight.

I'm a slacker for not getting any in-game pictures, but I got some building time in tonight. Trying to replace my stone house with a nicer wood structure (with sustainably harvested wood!).

Wandered around back and found an open pit dug by an adventurous explorer. Maybe it's where David Dodgson was digging and found a neighbor?

Tomorrow I need to get serious. I need iron, so it's off to the mines I go!

Hi folks.

Hi folks. I am having problems logging into the server. Last night I couldn't connect and today is the same. I keep seeing a red cross over the connection bar and a "Can't connect to server" message.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Hi folks.

Hi folks. Looking at the doodle for this week, it appears that the 1400 to 1600 time frame is good for several people to meet online. I would like to set up some streaming events at this time with participants in Discord (several of us are there now) and where we talk together from in world and I can stream this to anyone who can listen to YouTube where they can listen while playing with us (and texting with us) or others can watch the recording later.

If anyone can commit to being there in Discord between today (Monday, plus tue, wed, thu) and Friday at that time, I can set an event with a watch page where anyone can go to listen to the stream at a URL known in advance.

Otherwise I can just go there and if there are people talking in Minecraft I can stream on the fly. But then I can't set the event so you know it's happening in advance. But there will be a recording.

If you can commit to an EVENT please let me know here and I'll set it up. We need a few people we know in advance can talk to us between 1400-1600 UTC in that space.

Something terrible happened today.

Something terrible happened today. I was bombed by a creeper! I lost everything in the inventory, and I lost the new iron outfit that Rose just gave me the other day.
What’s worst was that these things weren’t mine. They were my son’s.

Today, Mattie had to finish his homework so I had to try and play by myself. I tried to mine and got blown up by a creeper. I went to get Mattie’s stuff back but it was dark so I only found the helmet and I had to go back to the house. I went to bed and was happy that day came, but found out later that nothing was left where I was bombed.

When Mattie found out, he was devastated. He couldn’t stop crying. He was so sad and mad that I lost the new outfit that Rose just gave us, and that I lost the bones and raw flesh that was meant for his tamed wolves. He couldn’t stop sobbing. I told him I was sorry but he was so frustrated. He said he knew I was sorry but he was just so sad he wanted me to leave him alone. This was the first time he’s ever cried for something he’s lost. This time he’s really lost something very precious.

I am so glad that Rose was back from lunch when this happened. By that time, Mattie was sent to bed by his Dad. His dad was mad at him for being mad at me. Mattie wrapped himself up in his blanket and kept on weeping.

I am very grateful that Rose helped me.

Rose asked me to get Mattie so that she could give him a diamond sword in person. She told Mattie that sometimes we die in Minecraft and lose our stuff but that’s okay. A community of friends is there to help. She told him that he’s an expert at playing Minecraft but Mommy just started to learn how to play. He could be my guide and my warrior just like Emanuel (her son) was hers.
It was beautiful. I can’t thank you enough, +BardRose!

Because of this incident, I have decided to get my own account. I did get one right away. So here I am, as ---Chienjane. The brand new me. With Rose’s help, I changed my skin by going to http://minecraft.novaskin.me, and learned where to find the screenshots I took with Rose. Tomorrow on, I will log on as chienjane and work collaboratively with Mattie to start over, mine iron and diamond so that someday, when someone lost their armors, we’d have something to offer and help as well. Thank you Rose!!!

I have a friend who would like to join us.

Few questions on my mind for discussions :)

What's the importance of using real names in a course ? How does anonymity affect communication? Would you insist on kids use their real names?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've set up a community farm for food and trees in the valley below the longhouse. You can reach it by going across the bridge at the left, right out of spawn. Feel free to harvest some food and trees for yourself. Just be sure to replant when your done!

P.S. If anyone has any pumpkins, carrots or potatoes, we would love to have them added to the farm!

Hi All, I'm late to connecting as I've been busy moving interstate, but I'm hoping you'll let me join in on the remaining weeks! I am an educational technologist and designer based in Australia, and have been active in Minecraft for more than 6 years. My main project is Massively@jokaydia - a community for kids and parents. My reason for joining the EVO MOOC is to reconnect with what teachers are up to in Minecraft, as I've spent most of the last 12mths or so deeply engaged in building castles and exploring caverns and tunnels with the kids I play with at Massively. I'm looking forward to hearing about your biggest wins, challenges, concerns and innovations, and hopefully sharing some of our knowledge from the Massively@jokaydia mines too! ;)

Find it later under "Arrange meetings in Minecraft"

I'd like to start streaming and recording some of our meetups, but that goes best with sound. When there's sound, people playing in silent mode can hear the others talk and still interact with everyone in text, so it's value added, nothing detracted. Try and get Discord working. Here's how

I was on Minecraft till almost 2am last night and woke up to find an expanded new house with warm and cozy decorations, a fancy wall picture in the living room, a farming area outside, and a brand new outfit for me in the bedroom Y(^o^)Y!! BardRose expanded and decorated the house all by herself. The house is amazing!!! Thank you, BardRose!!! I love my new outfit!
