What Is Minecraft?

Minecraft is a sandbox game which allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. It is currently in development by Markus Persson, aka "Notch". The gameplay is inspired by Dwarf Fortress, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Dungeon Keeper, and especially Infiniminer. The game has two variants, Alpha and Classic, both with single- and multiplayer options. Classic includes only the building aspects of the game with unlimited blocks, while Alpha includes monsters and a much greater variety of crafting available, as well as requiring players to mine their own blocks. Alpha is currently the latest release of Minecraft, and will move into beta sometime in September 2010. Minecraft was developed for about a week before its public release on May 16, 2009 on the TIGSource forums, where it gained a considerable level of popularity. It has been continually updated since then.

Rules

The rules of the OCAU server are fairly straight forward.

Don't be a dick - Griefing is banned; don't destroy other people's hard work. It's incredibly irritating and you will cop a hefty ban if caught doing so. Other rules include no exploiting glitches; though some glitches are okay to abuse such as dropping your tool to give it full strength; ask an admin to see if it's okay to do or not, no swearing and no offensive imagery.

Generally use common sense and be a nice person.

Griefing

If you witness griefing, let somebody know. Admins have salmon coloured names. Currently the admins are Broden, KingKrapp and Polk. If we aren't in the game (you can check by typing /who), take some screenshots - with their name visible - and PM one of us. Fett is an AdvBuilder and can kick players, which can be used as a temporary solution if he is online and we aren't.

Restricted Items

Flint and Steel (admin only)

Buckets of lava (admin only)

TNT (admin only)

Obsidian (AdvBuilder only)

Minecarts - all types (Admin only - they break the server)

If you need one of these materials for any reason (for example, flint and steel for burning large amounts of leaves), ask an admin and we will be happy to help you out.

Newcomers

When you join for the first time, tell an admin your OCAU name and we'll give you builder privileges. This allows you to teleport to certain players and use our kits. Please type /help for info on teleporting and kits.

Kits

In the chat, type "/kit builderkit" without the quotes to get an iron pick, an iron spade and an iron axe. If you drop a tool and pick it up again, it will reset to full health (unpatched bug). Please don't spam kits; it's not necessary.

Useful Commands

  • /spawn to return to spawn
  • /sethome to set a personal home point
  • /home to go there
  • /tp *username* to teleport to that user
  • /who to see who is on the server
  • /help to see a list of these commands
  • /compass and /getpos to see your current bearing.
  • /msg *username* *message* to send a private message to that player

A complete list of all the commands for the Minecraft server can be found here
