Holiday Festivities / SentinelCraft Easter Egg Hunt 2022!
« on: March 06, 2022, 11:54:42 AM »
SentinelCraft's Easter Egg Hunt 2022

Hello everyone!

We're once again celebrating Easter with the community, and just like previous years, we're providing all of you with an Easter Egg Hunt during the season! The eggs will be hidden in-game, starting on the 12th of March. Each player can claim a maximum of 4 eggs at the end of the event, which will be April 16th.

This year, on Sundays, two eggs will be hidden! On the 16th of April, two eggs will be released to celebrate the end of the event. During the other days, one egg will be released per day and their order will be randomly chosen.

The eggs will be hidden as holograms on the server - in the worlds Fedgardia, Alpha, Horizon and Kattalox. The eggs will be released at different times throughout the day, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance at finding the Easter Egg! Throughout the event, you will see that the colours from the holograms will differ based on this.

In order to claim the egg, you have to be the first one to find it. You will have to reply to this topic with a selfie screenshot of you (f5) with the whole hologram next to you. If the egg hasn't been found after 24h, we will release a riddle/clue to help with the Egg hunt!

Rank requirements / Voting Rank
« on: January 29, 2022, 07:21:59 PM »
Voting Rank

The voting rank is an additional rank that allows you to buy extra perks in the Vote Shop. It costs 150 points and will last for 30 days. You will be able to consistently have the Vote Rank each month if you vote 23/30 days! Down below, the perks that come with this voting rank have been described.

  • Players with the Vote Rank will have a '+' beside their normal rank. This is only for Donators and below. For example, [M] would be [M+] if they bought the Vote Rank.
  • Players with the Vote Rank will get /sunny which will make the weather go away in Horizon or Kattalox. This command will have a 4-hour cooldown to balance it out.
  • Players that have the Vote Rank will get /morn and /dark to change the time for everyone in Horizon or Kattalox. This will also have a 4-hour cooldown.
  • /glow - Gives you the PvP Glow effect when used, outlining your character. Only the colour of your rank.
  • /launch - Allows you to launch yourself through the air. This also has a cooldown.
  • Armorstand editor - Opens a menu that allows you to change the positioning/posing of the limbs on an armorstand.
  • Opening shulker boxes by shifting and right clicking in the air.
  • Using colour codes in books and on signs.
  • The ability to buy extra perks in the shop, as explained in this post. Repairing armour/hand, (un)condense, scavenge and towny/claim blocks.
If any of these perks are abused, they might be removed from you and/or the whole server.

Server Announcements / New Vote Shop!
« on: January 29, 2022, 07:21:56 PM »
Voting Shop Update!

Hello SentinelCraft!

We are pleased to announce our plans for change of the voting shop have been completed! This is the first major change to voting since 2013-2014,
we think that you'll like the update we have been working on! Our hope is that everyone can take advantage of the new and improved benefits and mechanics
that come from supporting the server and the community! With this change, we would like to attract more new players to the server by increasing the votes for the server.

Overview of the changes
  • We have a new server banner on all voting websites; this new banner will be replacing the old dragon banner that has served us well for the last few years.
    Thank you for helping us to decide on a new one through community feedback!
  • Sentinel has been listed on more server sites, increasing the amount of sites you can vote on each day from five to eight.
  • Due to the increase in the amount of sites you can vote on each day, we will be extending the top voting prize to the top eight voters rather than the top five.
  • A new currency will be implemented to replace tokens. This new currency comes in the form of voting points that can be used in the /votegui shop or /voteshop
    You can only use /voteshop in fedgardia.
    One vote equals one voting point, rather than one vote equalling 10 tokens; this system should be easier to use if you want to calculate how many days of voting it will take to buy that rare spawn egg ;).
  • New items/rewards in the vote shop. We suggest you check it out ASAP in-game, or keep on reading this post!
  • A new voting rank has been added! This is a rank that will reward those players who vote regularly. In order to read more about the voting rank, click here.
  • Head crates have returned! Thanks to bugsy12, head crates are returning to their old schedule allowing voters to buy some sweet heads! Time to get decorating!
  • A new voting streak will be added in the future. This is to help reward consistent voting; the more you vote, the better the rewards!

These are the new voting sites

Down below, you can look at the new voting sites we have added! You can always access these links in-game using /vlist.

- https://minecraftpocket-servers.com/server/115787/
- https://minecraftlist.org/server/27321
- https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/server-636680

Since there are more voting sites, it is possible to get more voting points in a month than previously possible.
We will not be changing or "balancing" the value of each voting point to reflect more voting options, as we like to think of the extra voting points per month as a reward for those players that choose to vote on all the sites!

With these new voting sites, it is possible to get a total of 240 voting points per month as opposed to just 150 points per month under the old system.
Voting points are replacing tokens, we have setup a system to transfer your tokens to vote points! In order to do this, you need to do the following:

1) Use /token to see how many tokens you have.
2) Use the following commands to transfer all your tokens to vote points, this system goes per 1000, 100 and 10 tokens.

- /token2votepoint1 - Will transfer 10 tokens to 1 vote point.
- /token2votepoint10 - Will transfer 100 tokens to 10 vote point.
- /token2votepoint100 - Will transfer 1000 tokens to 100 vote point.

3) Keep repeating these commands until all tokens have been transferred to vote points. You can see how many points you have by using /votepoints.
If you have voted since bungee, you will notice that you got some extra points for free! Consider this a reward for your dedication!


Vote Shop



With the new voting shop, you can buy various items and perks. You can only use /voteshop in fedgardia. The new shop will carry the following items.

The new vote shop will carry the following items:
  • 1. Main Vote Shop
  • Fly tokens will be carried in two main categories: /fly in Horizon and Kattalox or /fly in Alpha.
    There are coupons that give you /fly in the respective worlds for 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days.
    You need 25 days of voting straight to get fly for a month in Horizon and Kattalox.
  • McMMo Boosts will be available, alongside a shorter cooldown for powerups.
  • Head Token Conversion - 1 vote point is 1 head token.
  • Dragon Egg | 30 points
  • End Portal Frame | 20 points
  • Elytra | 10 points
  • Copper ingot | 10 points
  • Nether Star | 8 points
  • Netherite | 8 points
  • Name Tag | 5 points
  • Saddle | 2 points
  • 2. Voting Rank Perks
  • Buy additional towny and claim blocks
  • Buy perks such as repair hand and armour.
  • Buy perks such as /condense, /uncondense and /scavenge (to disenchant an item).
  • Additional perks tied to the voting rank, as listed down below and here.
  • Any perks bought through the shop will stay once your voting rank expires.
  • 3. Spawn Eggs
  • Guardian Spawn Egg | 50 points
  • Zombified Piglin Spawn Egg | 50 points
  • Phantom Spawn Egg | 100 points
  • Hoglin Spawn Egg | 150 points
  • Stray Spawn Egg | 150 points
  • Strider Spawn Egg | 150 points
  • Goat Spawn Egg | 150 points
  • Zoglin Spawn Egg | 250 points
  • Vex Spawn Egg | 250 points
  • Glow Squid Spawn Egg | 300 points
  • Axolotl Spawn Egg | 300 points

As you can see, we have tried to include some of the community feedback into our voting shop. We will be looking into adding the other suggestions during a next update in the future.
We have decided to remove Enchanted Books and Potion Effects from the vote shop as they were not used as frequently. This may change in the future.

Vote Rank

As stated before, we are adding a new Vote Rank to the server! This rank will be able to be bought from the Vote Store for 150 points and will last 30 days.
You will be able to consistently have the Vote Rank each month if you vote 23/30 days!

Why would I bother?
  • Players with the Vote Rank will have a '+' beside their normal rank. Due to some possible confusion in adding a '+' after a staff rank, we have decided to only add the '+' for ranks Donators and below.
    For example, [M] would be [M+] if they bought the Vote Rank.
  • Players with the Vote Rank will get /sunny which will make the weather go away in Horizon or Kattalox. This command will have a 4-hour cooldown to balance it out.
  • Players that have the Vote Rank will get /morn and /dark to change the time for everyone in Horizon or Kattalox. This will also have a 4-hour cooldown.
  • /glow - Gives you the PvP Glow effect when used, outlining your character. Only the colour of your rank.
  • /launch - Allows you to launch yourself through the air.
  • Armorstand editor - Opens a menu that allows you to change the positioning/posing of the limbs on an armorstand.
  • Opening shulker boxes by shifting and right clicking in the air.
  • Using colour codes in books and on signs.
  • The ability to buy extra perks in the shop, as explained above.
If any of these perks are abused, they might be removed from you and/or the whole server.

This concludes this announcement for the new changes coming to voting! We're excited to roll these changes out and we hope everyone enjoys them. Feel free to share your opinion on the changes down below.

Thank you for reading - it's time to get voting!

Tranquila / Welcome to the SentinelCraft Block Exchange!
« on: December 16, 2021, 11:32:41 AM »
Welcome to
the SentinelCraft Block Exchange!



Hello everyone!

The town of Tranquila would like to announce that the former BuildyBlocks has had a major upgrade!
The building has expanded, the assortiment has been updated with additional building blocks and Marigold Market and BuildyBlocks have merged!
Because of this merger, the new name of the shop will be the almighty "SentinelCraft Block Exchange". Or - in short - the SCBE!

Rumour goes that BuildyBlocks was suffering from a lot of competition from the great Brenda who was running Marigold Market, what is there to say?
If you can't beat them - get them to join you! Together, stronger as ever.

However, BuildyBlocks claims that Marigold Market has been suffering from reputation issues, players finding it hard to find materials sold at such a great price - this must be a scam, right?
Are they even a premium block? What about the size of the assortiment?

Whichever story may be right, both business owners have merged and created an even better shop for all players of SentinelCraft; the SentinelCraft Block Exchange!


How can I visit the legendary SentinelCraft Block Exchange? We're glad you asked!

First, go to /kattalox. Next, go to /t spawn Tranquila. Then click the "TQLA-SCBE" sign at our spawn right in front of you! This should spawn you directly into the building!


Oplegoman and I are happy to announce that we are selling blocks and items from the following categories:
- All kinds of redstone blocks, formerly known as CraftComponents!
- The good old BuildyBlocks from before (Woods, sands, gravels, aquatic blocks and nether blocks!)
- All ore ingots! (Yes, even netherite!)
- Mob drops (fresh)
- All colours of dye, glass and wool! (better quality than ever)
- Fresh flowers (fresh)
- New 1.18 blocks - time to check them out ASAP!


Help! A certain item I am searching for is not there!
- If you cannot find a certain product, please visit the shops around the SentinelCraft Block Exchange to visit other shops!
- If you have a request for a certain item to be added to our shops, please contact one of us on discord or in-game!


"The SentinelCraft Block Exchange is, and always has been, the best one-stop-shop for all your Minecraft needs!
We hope to see you in our brand new shop in Tranquila!

Winter 2021 / Christmas Delivery Service - 2021!
« on: November 17, 2021, 01:43:27 PM »
Christmas is coming!

Dear lovely SentinelCrafters, it is time to get festive for Christmas once again!

Do you have someone you admire? Do you have friends or staff members that you would like to express your appreciation for?
Or maybe foes you would like to send boxes of coal to?

Well, now is your chance!

We proudly present to you our 2021 Christmas Event:


Christmas Delivery Service!

(With lots of love)





What is this Christmas Delivery Service?


Over the past two years, Eli and I have hosted this event with great success. When members of our community reached out and asked if this was happening again this year; I figured, why not? I'm happy to announce that the event has had some upgrades to the venue and the process, so be sure to read carefully down below! I'm especially excited about this padlet!
<3

How is it going to work?
Preparing your gifts
- Gather the items you would like to send and write your love letters.
- Put everything (even if it is only one item) in a shulker box.
- All senders MUST rename their shulker box to: "To:<Name of receiver>" so we know who to deliver it to.
- You can add "Fr: <your name>" after "To: <Name of receiver>" if desired, this is optional.
Example: To: Eli - Fr: Brenda - make sure we know who the nickname is!
- You can send gifts to as many people as you would like (we encourage you to send gifts to as many people as possible!), but you can send only one shulker to each person.




This is where the biggest change gets explained; please read carefully!

How to send your gifts
1) Now that you have your shulker box (filled with either love or hatred) ready to go, and have signed up here on forums,
you teleport to the venue using the command: /christmasgifts!
2) Find the chest assigned to you in our Elf Factory!
(If we have not assigned you one yet, please be patient, MHGUforPresident, bugsy12 or myself will try to get you assigned one as soon as possible!)
3) Put your shulker boxes, full of gifts, inside the chest. Don't forget to name them, like explained earlier!
4) A secret Santa will pick up the gifts afterwards and deposit them in the corresponding mailboxes inside!

Note: Keep in mind that not everyone has registered for a mailbox. Please check the table below for a list of players who registered mailboxes.

How to receive your gifts
Any non-staff members are eligible to register for a mailbox. (All staff members already have dedicated mailboxes!)
The fun part is, you will not be able to access it until Christmas!
We highly recommend everyone to register for one. What if someone wants to send you a gift but you didn't have a mailbox registered?  ):

You can register by replying to this forum post below, following this format:


- In-game username:
- Do you agree to follow the gifting rules written above?
- What would you like for Christmas this year? Both in minecraft and in real life! (optional)




FAQs and Extra notes

- This year, your messages to the community can be sent via a padlet that everyone can view/participate in!
Through this padlet, I encourage you to write a message to the community and share a little bit of holiday joy with us.
When you click on the link, you can see some suggestions of things that you could share with us - this way you can participate with the event, without logging into minecraft!


- We have a selfie zone for you to take pictures with the reindeers! After using /christmasgifts, turn 180 degrees, walk towards the sleigh and turn right to follow the path.

- Why not dye your shulker boxes to make them more festive? (;

- Feel free to reply to this post with your questions if you have any!

- If for some reason you cannot sign yourself up on forums, ask a staff member to reply on to this topic on your behalf.

Server Announcements / SentinelCraft - Map Transfers
« on: October 05, 2021, 07:32:17 PM »
It's time to get our maps back again!

Dear SentinelCraft community!
 
We've got some excellent news for you, we're going to start the process of getting maps to our survival world again!
Since world edit works again and the bungee trouble is now in the past (or well, we hope), we're happy to get everyone their maps back in the coming months.
In this forum post, we will explain how staff is going to do this and what you, as a player, would need to do in order to get your beautiful map back!

How is staff going to do this?

- We plan on placing maps in the end in both Horizon and Kattalox, and in the void for Fedgardia, as these are areas that can be made are inaccessible for everyone.
We will set up WorldGuard permission for specific players in this region, it will not damage or take up space in the overworld which other ideas would have and allows maps to be better protected.
Players will still create the original maps in flat before we paste them in the end.


- In Horizon and Kattalox we will have a specific maps storage building that holds copies of each map to allow admin+ to be able to give maps if they are either lost by the original owner. We will have to refine our idea on how we are going to name maps and ensure there is enough space for them. This is to ensure maps do not go missing and are easily retrievable for you.

- To save space, maps will be stacked if they are not extremely tall 3d maps, this means it will take up a smaller footprint on the server and gives us a lot of space to be able to paste current maps and future maps.



What do I need to do?
In order to transfer your map, we need you to complete a survey that can be found here! Before you go ahead and complete the survey, please keep in mind the following things;

- When entering the coordinates of the map, please use the following format WITH SPACES ONLY! For example: -124759 16 29480. This allows us to easily copy and paste the coordinates.
- We ask you to enter two coordinates per map, so we can easily select the corners with world edit. If you fail to do so, we will not process your map. It is your responsibility to correctly select the corners for the transfer, else your map might be incomplete.
- Your map cannot be "higher" than 50 blocks. This means that the elevation cannot be more than 50 blocks. For now, our priority is transferring "thin" maps - bigger 3D maps will have a chance to be transferred in the future.
- Maps from the artists charactername111 and Silver_Dragoon1 will be transferred first.
- Transferring these maps is going to be a time-consuming project for the Senior Admin team, we've got jobs, school work and personal matters to attend to! Complaining about the "waiting queue" will get you pushed to the back of the waiting list, though I am sure none of you will complain, right? (pls)
- The queue will be visible for all members, this way you can see if your map has been transferred yet and how many others are before you. You can click here to see the queue.
- Once your map has been transferred, we need you to do your absolute best on keeping horizon maps in horizon, and Kattalox maps in Kattalox. Switching between these servers will break the map and give staff unnecessary jobs to fix it. To make this perfectly clear to you, we ask you to confirm that you've read this on the server - as well as inform your buyers of this fact.
- Maps that you entered to transfer, are made by you. You are not allowed to "hijack" other people's maps to get them transferred, you will need to buy them off the original owner or have permission to transfer them under your name.

We'd like to thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing your beautiful maps on the server again! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them in-game, on discord, or down below!

Outside the Blocks / Outside the Blocks - Horsebagger
« on: August 14, 2021, 09:36:22 AM »
Welcome to the sixth edition of "Outside the Blocks"!
In this series, I will be interviewing different members of our community in order to get to know them a little better!

Today, our guest is Horsebagger - a donator on our server since July 2018!
Horsebagger is the mayor of the town Oakridge, and in August 2021 he was the top voter of the server!



Hey there Horsebagger! First of all, congratulations on being the top voter last month! Please tell us the secret to consistent voting, how do you do it?

Well, I usually log onto the server at least once a day so it only makes sense to stop by the voting page on the web site and give it a few clicks. :)

You don't set a timer for every 24 hours or anything like that? You make it sound so simple!?

No, I've never found it necessary. I'm not sure but I think the voting sites are split between Europe and N.A. because I've tried to vote at different times during the day but sometimes a page would accept my vote whereas another would say I've already voted. I basically figured out that if I vote everyday at about 1:00 p.m. EST, I get the vote on all five sites.
Um... I should add here that I'm retired, so finding the right time of day to vote and keeping that regiment is pretty easy for me now.

Aha, wonderful! I should get back into that voting rhythm sometime! For the people that don't know you that well, could you introduce yourself to the readers?
Perhaps you could talk a little bit about where you grew up, what you studied, what you use(d) to do for a living and how long you've been playing minecraft for!

To start, I'm a 66 yr. old retired auto worker that lives in Windsor, Ontario, Canada where I've lived all my life. I've raised two wonderful children and have 2 grandkids too! I basically started working in an automotive plant right out of high school because the money was excellent. After about 7 years working the floor on punch presses, I took a position as a production forklift driver which I did for the remaining 29 years of working at the factory. It was extremely busy and quite demanding most of the time but it was an excellent job that I found to be very good at.
Some of my (many) hobbies are gardening, building computers and gaming, studying Ancient Egypt (which I've done since I was 17 yrs. old), my cats, cooking and canning, astronomy and I have a particular liking for women in metal and hard rock music, of which I've had an online radio station called Femmetal Online for the past 13 years. I used to go to a lot of concerts but, because of retiring and of course COVID, I've basically stopped going, though there are a few that I've got my eye on.  :)
Ahhhh Minecraft!! I remember back in 2009 hearing about Minecraft and after seeing screenshots and videos on it, I thought it was 'such a cute game for kids', mainly because it was a sandbox game and very cartoon-like.

Of course, it's full release was 2011 and I was very interested in Skyrim which was released at the same time so I paid no attention to Minecraft at all.... until 2017. I was at my daughters having tea and playing a mean game of cribbage with her back then and my grandson was in the living room playing a game. He yelled at me "Pipi, come watch me"  so I took a break from cards and went and watched. He was playing Minecraft on a PS4. This was the first time I actually watched game play and I was rather intrigued by it. He was mining at the time and after a bit, he went up to his base and stored all of his materials including his diamonds which he was very excited about.
Sometime after I arrived home I decided to give the game a try, so I downloaded a cracked copy, loaded it in as straight vanilla, made a world and started to play. This was after supper, around seven in the evening. It was a case of suddenly taking a break from the game, looking up at the clock and it was three in the morning!!! From then on, I knew I was hooked and bought a legit copy from the Mojang website the next day. In time, I realized that, like Skyrim and Fallout 4, I could add mods to it to make it look better and give it some extra tools, so that basically cemented my love for the game.

Wholesome! This is such a wonderful story, so wholesome I love it! Have you been playing minecraft with your grandchildren ever since, or don't they know that you also enjoy the game?

lol... no, he moved on to Roblox. xD

Hahahha, such a shame! How did you come across SentinelCraft and why did you decide to stay with us?

While I was playing Minecraft, I was also getting tips and ideas from videos and websites. Through that process, I found out about Minecraft servers and what they were all about. The idea looked interesting and the thought of playing along with others sounded rather cool. I proceeded to go to a couple of site listing pages (two of which we vote on) and saw the listings of SO many different sites! They all advertised things I had no idea what they were about such as PVP, McMMO, Towny, but I just wanted to see what they were like and if I could play and build.
I picked one server, who's name I can't remember, logged in, read the rules, and went to where the signs stated I could start to play and build. When I warped there, all I could see was buildings!!! SO many buildings! I walked for 15 minutes looking for open land to build and could find absolutely none. I logged off...
SentinelCraft was the second server I logged onto. After creating an account and reading the rules, I saw where it said to go to get into survival mode and build. I was hoping that it wasn't like the other server and of course, it wasn't. I was whisked away into Horizon and that was the start. I ended up finding a nice spot for my first build, the Portal Tower, which ended up being my home base for a couple of years until I moved it to the outskirts of my town.
I stayed on SentinelCraft mainly because there was no need to look elsewhere. There was, and is, a lot to do and, though I've never been one to associate much with anyone, everyone is basically friendly with a dedicated staff that actually cares about the server and take very good care of it.

That sounds rather nice, I'm happy you decided to stick around! What is your favourite thing to do when you're online on the server and have you been working on any big projects lately - you mentioned a town in Horizon?

My town is one in Kattalox and called Oakridge, or Ancient Rhim. It's my constant project and I'm usually doing something to change or improve it. It's different from a lot of the other towns and I really don't have any residents that stay but it's my project and I love it. One of the things I love to do is mining/caving while I'm trying to think of new ideas for it. Two months ago I built a giant dark oak tree on a hill with a contingent of librarians living inside the hill taking care of the tree's roots, and selling enchanting books of course. I also built a small double tower last month and currently I'm working on another project for the town which will be a ship building yard.
I'm also working on the lore for the town, which I will include when I eventually start a  board in the forums area of the web page once I've finished writing the introduction and description.
I've also attended RoW but really haven't participated yet... um... except for once where I did my first roll and wouldn't you know, someone came knocking at my door! Ugh... so I had to log off, but I'll get there and play sometime soon.

A lore for the town sounds really interesting! How can readers visit your town if they'd like to take a look?

All they have to do is warp to the town via /t spawn oakridge! They'll arrive at the lodge where they can read the rules in the lower level, then head out. I have signs posted to most of the builds/shops etc.!

Brenda, can I share with you a story on how I got banned from the server?

You got banned? What! What happened! Please share it with me!

I was in the process of building my first build, the Portal Tower, which stretches over Y180. I had built the outside of the tower to have 'tubes' along 4 of the sides and my idea was to have lava flowing all the way down the tubes during the night and change over to water during the day.
One day I was working on the redstone apparatus to  create the flow and, while standing inside the first tower's upper level, a player appeared. It was HVPanda.
Now at this time, I was a complete noob! I had never chatted with anyone, spent time with anyone, and honestly never paid attention to the chat because I didn't know anyone, I just built things. I was rather shocked that someone would suddenly appear and had no idea who he really was but I thought 'cool, someone to visit' and I kept trying out the redstone dispenser.
Suddenly  I realized looking at the chat that he was talking to me, mentioning that I couldn't do this because it would cause lag to the server. Now I had built something similar one my single player game and yes, it did create lag, but I thought that it wouldn't be even noticeable on the server.
Well, while Panda is trying to talk to me, I'm trying to talk back but unfortunately, I didn't know the commands for chat, or anything else for that matter!! I was trying to respond to him that I knew about the lag and was going to stop and he was trying to get me to talk, even to the point of asking me if I understood English. I'm replying but he's not seeing a thing. I'm sure he was getting frustrated because I knew I certainly was! :)
Then poof..... I was in jail, and Panda was there with me. The same thing was happening. He was trying to get me to chat and I was chatting but because I didn't use the command, he saw nothing. Eventually, I got banned!
Because I had already visited the web site and forum, I knew that I could appeal, so that's what I did. It wasn't even an hour later that Migas replied and reinstated me to the server stating that he was basically watching the whole thing! lol... I can just imagine how that must have looked. He told me the command I needed and directed me to a page in the forums that had more listing of them in case I needed them.
Honestly, I giggle about it now but at the time, I was just about in panic mode ! :)

That sounds hilarious, I never knew this fun fact, shame on Hv for breaking into your own little bubble like that! What are your future plans on SentinelCraft?

Just to keep working on my town, continue to explore Horizon and look for good mining/cave sites, hopefully finally make it to RoW to make friends and maybe try Skyblock, though I've seen some videos on it and it looks rather complicated, but we'll see.

That sounds wonderful, I'm sure some people would be happy to reach out and connect with you now that we know a little bit more about your hobbies and your daily life! Thank you for answering all of my questions with such great detail, do you have anything else you'd like to share with our readers? Perhaps how they might be able to listen to your radio station?

First, just a word of thanks to everyone that is associated with the server, especially the individuals who have been taking their own free time to upgrade to Bungee and to continue to work on the bugs. Though I've never been on  another server, I'm sure there are not that many around that have such a great, kind and fun staff as SentinelCraft has.
As for my station, it's basically a bot station that features female fronted metal and hard rock of all different genres, and mainly oldies going back to 2011 and beyond. I have a web page at www.femmetal.net which has links to listen and info on some of this year's new releases, as well as highlighting some great albums both current and past. Thanks for asking and thanks for the interview Brenda! It's been great!



Thank you for reading Outside the Blocks, I hope you enjoyed it!

Server Announcements / BungeeCord has been released successfully!
« on: July 26, 2021, 09:53:43 PM »
BungeeCord has been released successfully!

Dear SentinelCraft community,
 
The Senior Admin team is happy to announce that the transfer to BungeeCoord has been completed successfully!

Down below, we will be listing the most important changes as a recap of the Development Diaries, we will talk about the claimable nether/end, about the re-introduction of skyblock and caveblock,
we will be re-directing you to important guides to read and where you can report exploits and bugs.
Please take the time to read this post carefully, as it has been crafted with care.



- We transferred to BungeeCoord, meaning there are multiple interconnected servers now instead of one server with multiple worlds. There's a total of 7 servers, as you can read about here.

- When joining Bungee for the very first time, you have to register again - perhaps it's time for a new password? (;

- Cross-server teleportation has been replaced with the "MaSuite" plugin. You can view your homes using /homeslist. Unfortunately, /back is broken so everyone will be receiving an extra home. Good news: old warp signs will work - they will not have to be replaced as we thought previously. Read more about it here.

- Unfortunately, towny and nation chat do not work across bungee. Because of this, two new chat systems have been implemented. They're called "Party" and "Friends". A guide for these chat systems can be found here, alongside some changes in regards to toggling certain chats.

- Due to the change from 1 server to 7 servers, maps are going to be broken for a little while. We've talked about its solutions and long term plans here. Please note that this currently is not our priority, but we will get to this after 1-3 weeks after the release depending on the situation.

- Alpha has been reset, and has some wild terrain! Time to go and explore!

- A claimable nether and end have been introduced. We'd like to bring to your attention that this is not meant to be used as a world for looting. In order to prevent this from happening, we've made sure to remove ores in order to prevent this from happening. The claimable nether and end are connected to Horizon. Read more about alpha and the claimable nether and end here!

- Auction house has been replaced with "Global Market Chest", make sure to read the guide about this here. Great news; the command is still the same!

- If you haven't been living under a rock, you have written down the coordinates to your home in the correct form that has been posted in Development Diary number 5.
Once you log into the server for the first time, we ask you to be patient as the entire staff team will be working hard on setting the homes for you.
You should receive a message in-game from a staff member once your homes have been set. If you failed to enter your homes in this form, the staff is not required to help you set your homes.
Homes that are connected to Pern can be transferred one week after the Bungee release. Please contact a staff member directly for this. (Yes, moderators too!)

- Skyblock has been re-enabled, and we introduce a new feature called CaveBlock! We've reworked the challenges to make the experience better for all. Moreover, all islands have been reset to ensure it is fair for everyone. Read more about it in this guide!

- Parkour and all other minigames have been disabled for the time being, we will work on bringing them back after the launch with fresh maps, we promise.

- Donators have received the /cmi sit command, which allows them to sit everywhere, yes, even on the floor. Fly timers have been extended by 5 days to make up for the fly timer loss.

- Render distance has been increased drastically (Oliver's favourite feature!)

- Unfortunately, balances could not be transferred as we hoped it would. We've copied the top 500 balances and written them in a spreadsheet. You can request your balance to be reimbursed by messaging an admin in-game.


Bugs

Bug reports can be reported as a new topic in this folder. Please make sure to read bugs reported before you to see if there's no overlap. Here's a list of current bugs we're aware of and cannot be fixed.
- Upon joining a world for the very first time, you will be teleported to an odd location. Unfortunately, this seems to be a bug that we cannot fix.
- Worlds do not change on tab, therefore it is not accurate to use in order to see which world you are in.
- Parties force everyone in the party to teleport to the same world when the leaders switches worlds.
- /Back doesn't work properly, and so, you've been given an extra home!


We'd like to thank you for being patient with us, we're excited to welcome you on the server with our brand new set-up!

Guides / SkyBlock and CaveBlock Guide!
« on: July 26, 2021, 10:36:14 AM »
SkyBlock and CaveBlock Guide


Thank you HvPanda, MHGUforPresident, bugsy12 and Annu_Mannu67 for writing the guide!

Skyblock


Starting with a small island floating in the void with only a few materials in a tree, you must learn to use and save your materials wisely!
Each material provided to you has a purpose, by understanding the basics of minecraft you can complete challenges and expand your island. Handy commands, tips and tricks and frequently asked questions have been added to this forum post!


Caveblock


CaveBlock is a new addition to SentinelCraft! Instead of an island in the sky, you will start off in an underground world with limited materials! Challenge yourself, build, destroy and fight your way out of this underground madness!


Getting Started with Skyblock and Caveblock!


Here is a quick setup guide that should contain everything you need to know about getting started with Skyblock and Caveblock.
I will start with a list of commands for your reference. Whenever the word "/is" shows up, it can be replaced by /sb or /skyblock or /cb or /caveblock for Skyblock and Caveblock respectively.


Commands:

Note:
/is - island command
/sb - skyblock command
/cb - caveblock command

For Example: to reset your cave, do /cb reset

Skyblock Getting Started & Pro-Tips:

First Steps:
  • Cut the tree down, make sure to save the saplings
  • Use the iceblock and lava provided to make a cobble generator (pictures below!)
  • Plant more trees. While waiting for trees to grow, obtain more cobble using your generator
  • Complete challenges to receive unique and otherwise unobtainable blocks.
Tips:
  • Start off by building on the bedrock block that is found beneath your island, to avoid future obstruction. As this block can not be removed.
  • Even though wood is easy accessible in the start of your skyblock journey, do not build your base of the island with this material. It can easily be destroyed by mobs and bad weather.
  • Any passive mob needs skylight to spawn, if you have a large area of grass block you need to be at least 27 away for them to spawn.
  • Warped Nylium & Crimson Nylium, grow similar to Grass blocks. All you need is some nether rack to spread both these blocks.
  • When spawning on your island, make an convenient water source with the 2 ice blocks you get in your chest.
  • Best way to reach the bottom of your island is to make a water elevator that falls down next to your island. Build a bottom layer under your island for maximum collection of all the blocks under your island.
  • Hunger is not all that important when you start out in skyblock don't stress! Just jump off your island and die. You will re-spawn on the top of your island with a full hunger bar.

   
Cobble stone generator                                                                                             Stone generator

Caveblock Getting Started & Pro-Tips:

First Steps:
  • Steal wood from the abandoned mine to make a pickaxe
  • Mine cobble from the walls of the cave
  • Plant trees to obtain more wood.
  • Complete challenges to receive unique and otherwise unobtainable blocks.

Additional Notes:

 - If you accidentally turn your lava into obsidian, right-click the obsidian with a bucket to turn it back to lava. Remember to be more careful next time!
 - Your money and inventory on Skyblock are separate from the survival and towny worlds. The command /shop does not work in this world too. Instead, you can make your own shop with trade signs.
 - Remember, you have limited resources (for example dirt, sand, and lava) in Skyblock and Caveblock, so sort out your renewable resources and your non-renewable early on.
 - Monsters spawn 24 blocks away in darkened areas. If your island is too small, you will not be able to get mob drops.
 - Grass blocks are the only thing cows, sheep, pigs, and horses spawn on. Make sure to save at least one grass block if you want to have animals!
 - Skyblock & Caveblock is very involved, and not for the fainthearted. It's best played with friends! :D use /is team invite (PlayerName) in Skyblock or /cb team invite (PlayerName) in Caveblock.




Challenge & Levels:

Challenges are created to get unique and valuable blocks. For example, the first one is obtaining a stack of cobblestone with the reward of 4 pieces of gravel and 50 level xp. Each block has a set level xp, the more valuable blocks give a higher xp gain.
The 10 players with the highest levels have the top islands, which can be seen by doing /is top or /cb top - for skyblock and caveblock respectively.



FAQs

What is the goal of this game?
To finish all Challenges and reach the top of /is top and/or /cb top. But the most important thing is to have fun.

How do I team up with my friends?
For Skyblock: /is team invite (PlayerName) and have your friend do /is team accept to accept the invite.
For Caveblock: /cb team invite (PlayerName) and have your friend do /cb team accept to accept the invite.

How do I get coal/lapis/iron/etc?
You can get ores with /is or /cb challanges.

How much does this item cost?
Skyblock/ Caveblock has no server shop. Some players have shops see /is or /cb warplist.

How do I collect a spawner? Is silk touch needed?
You can get 1 spawner in the nether, no need for silk touch. It can be mined with all pickaxes.

How do I reset/delete a profile?
You can reset your island max 3 times. If you lose your lava hit the obsidian with the bucket.

Can I build a bridge to my neighbour?
No you can't, there is an area between islands where you can't build.

What is my build range?
256x256 blocks or 16 chunks by 16 chunks.

Are my items protected and can I loot my neighbours islands?
The islands/caves are protected and can't be griefed by outsiders. This is only possible if you changed these settings in /is settings or /cb settings. You can give access to friends or team mates. This won't count as grief because you gave them access.

Can I make an island shop?
Yes, you can use the sign guide here to help you.

Outside the Blocks / Outside the Blocks - MHGUforPresident
« on: June 23, 2021, 09:28:50 AM »
Welcome to the fifth edition of "Outside the Blocks"!
In this series, I will be interviewing different members of our community in order to get to know them a little better!

Today, our guest is MHGUforPresident - a moderator on our server since the 22nd of November, 2020!
MHGUforPresident is the main side chick of Bugsy and known to capture the heart of many players.  He won the "funniest player" category of the Sentinel Awards 2021!

For those that do not know MHGUforPresident just yet, here's a brief description by a friend of his:

"Moog is everyone's favorite flirty and funny mod. Most known for his witty comments, pushing golden carrots, or just his beautiful flower pot face."




Heyo Moog! Welcome to outside the blocks, after my long long procrastination spree! (I apologise, I swear)
My first question to you is; how did you end up finding SentinelCraft?

Hi hi! So when I first redownloaded MC a little before the pandemic, I just went onto (I think) planetminecraft and searched for smaller towny servers (Towny was my favorite server plugin as a kid so I stuck to my guns haha). Sentinel was the first server I joined on that last and is actually the only server I've joined since then. Haven't ever wanted to change <33

That's interesting, towny being your favourite server plugin as a child! What memories do you have in regards to this?

Funny enough, I can actually remember the terrain from a town that I made. Of course little to nobody joined but I vividly remember the mountain which arched over the town spawn I built with a plains biome I flattened for a house around the corner. I remember having a couple friends, but eventually I fell off multiplayer and started playing modded for a while, so those friendships didn't last..

Would be great if you could re-contact them and see how they're doing! Gives me a throwback to my old towny server and the things I built!
You said that you joined SentinelCraft and never wanted to go back, what made you want to stay and apply for moderator after a while?

I doubt I could even find that server if it's even still up.
I think what made me stay was the community of course (and bugs, my irl wife). I remember when I started a bunch of people came and helped with my house (I believe banacat and Eliza), which really made me feel welcome. After I had gotten established and made a bunch of friendships, I wanted to be able to give back to the server in a more tangible way, so I applied for moderator.

Wholesome! Always nice to hear everyone's smaller stories about why they stayed.
You've been a moderator since the 22nd of November, could you tell us a little bit about the experience so far? For example, what did you expect to be different, did anything surprise you, what is a situation that still makes you laugh or cringe?

Has it really been that long? Corona time flies... I think I expected moderator to be a more passive role than it really is, some light chat moderation, maybe reporting a hacker rarely. What I've discovered is that being a mod is much more active than I thought; looking out for suspicious behavior, dealing with many types of players directly, actively finding cheaters, etc. Even though it wasn't quite what I thought, I don't think that if I could go back to before being mod I wouldn't apply. The friendships I've made and the experiences I've had have been too awesome.
Something that still makes me laugh was my prank. Admins had me get on the server at like 11 at night while I was trying to go to bed and accused me of all sorts of stuff, X-Ray especially. They even teleported me to a mineshaft I made a couple of days before that. Dev was especially mean, saying "I was really rooting for you, man" and stuff like that >:(. All in good fun though, it was a fun night.

Hahahaha that was actually just me and Dev messing with you, pulling up fake logs as well, good times! I love the pranks. Glad that you're enjoying it and helping the server out in your free time! I know that you are currently studying something with language and ASL, what exactly are you studying and what would you'd like to be your job later?

The full title of my program is breathes in Bachelors of Speech and Hearing Sciences: Communication and Speech Disorders. Basically, it's Speech Therapy. Languages have always fascinated me, but especially the movement of the mouth (lips, teeth, tongue, etc) during speech. Speech and Hearing Sciences is the medical version of that, so I am studying to be a Speech Language Pathologist. SLPs diagnose and treat speech and language disorders, as well as swallowing disorders. ASL would just be helpful for people who can't speak and need to communicate.
So in the future, I could treat children with developmental disorders, adults that have a stroke, dementia, etc., or neurodivergent people

This sounds so interesting, are you studying close to where you grew up? Would you be more interested in working with children or with adults, and in what setting?

My school is about 2 and a half hours from my hometown, but we've all since moved away from there.
Ideally, I would prefer to work with adults in a hospital setting. Recently I've thought about it a little more and I would be open to working with kids. I just don't have a lot of experience with kids and they seem so chaotic to me? I want to work with adults more because my grandfather had a stroke a long time ago before he passed and lost his ability to speak. I saw how frustrated he was and it kinda flipped a switch in my brain.

It's wonderful that you have a personal connection to the study, hopefully, all will go well! What hobbies do you have next to your studies & outside the blocks?

Well, a lot of gaming. Mostly Minecraft and Monster Hunter (a lot of Monster Hunter).  I also love to take care of my plants and pretend I'm a Nature Goddess whenever I get a new leaf coming in :D

Choose! 100 duck sized paulinas or 1 Paulina sized duck.

One Paulina sized duck. I wouldn't fight it, I would gain its friendship slowly and me and the All Powerful Ducc will take total control of the server, defeating Pau. Then I'll make bugs owner as punishment. Punishment for what? Beats me.

Kiss, marry, kill with all of the moderators - go!

Kiss: Barry, cause obv he's a cute bean.
Marry: Arya because OBVIOUSLY she's perfect and I love her.
Kill: Ace cause he's Ace

If you could be anything in Minecraft, what would it be and why?

I'd be a spruce tree, tall and proud. Very useful, and obviously the best tree in the game

Yeah, screw acacia. If you could invent one holiday, what would it be named, when would it be and why?

International Week of Rest: Held sometime in July for people in the Northern Hemisphere and sometime in summer for the Southern Hemisphere (so kinda two holidays?). A whole week where employees only need to work if they absolutely want to, and everyone else can rest and recover.

But what's the occasion? Why are we celebrating it?

To chill. Do you need a reason?

I guess not! If you could have 2 free passes to ban players - who would it be and why?

I would ban Jeff for murdering my plant with a voodoo curse, and I would also ban Dev for the BEEEEFFFF! Ultimate beef is to ban the guy that started it!

Brenda: I can support that. What's the weirdest thing you have in your bedroom? (;

I have a pair of underwear with my best friends face on it!

Hahahahah, that's funny. What is your favourite vine?

omg omg omg! Road work ahead? Uh yeah, I sure HOPE it does! I love it so much omg
every SINGLE time I see a roadwork sign I say that

What's the most useless talent that you have?

I can bend my pinky over the back of my hand and touch the back of my thumb

Gross. If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask?

Joke: Why the hell do my plants keep putting out shrivelled leaves every now and again :(
Real: Is there a concrete reason we were put on Earth and if so why?

We're all in a simulation. It's just one kid playing the sims and we're them. What's one conspiracy theory that you (used to) believe?

Used to: Bigfoot. Still do: THE SIMS THING YES! Because sometimes ill just like, need to pee and just stand there. Like I'll walk out my door, lock it and everything and be like "Why am I outside?"

Thank you for making time, I enjoyed reading your answers and getting to know you a little better! Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?

Thank y'all so much for being such an awesome community of extremely sexy people IF YOU'RE OF AGE. Y'all the reason I'm still here!



Thank you for reading Outside the Blocks, I hope you enjoyed it!
Don't forget to leave a cheeky comment and the real gossip down below. Hope to see you soon for another edition of Outside the Blocks - who would you like to see next?

We have planned a potentially (for that we mean "very likely") relationship-ruining minigames course - Shiprunner, specifically tailored to destroy improve relationships. It is time to find out how close you and your partner are..
as you go through a series of challenges where you have to jump, dodge and climb your way through victory!
Teamwork is required, what's better than going through a minigame map with your significant other in order to laugh with them & yell at them for a full hour?
Time to test your love, keep on reading to see how you can sign up for this event!


How do I sign up?


In order to participate with this event, you need to post a reply under this post with the format shown down below.
Adding an image of you and your ship having matching skins will save you three minutes off your total time - time to create your skins and get that picture taken!

Ship name:
Usernames included within this ship:
A tidbit about yourselves and why you two decided to go together:

Each couple will have a turn on the obstacle course; the aim is to finish the map as quickly as possible.
Whichever lovebirds manage to be the fastest will receive a guaranteed spot in our prom day's minigames showdown.
Couples that participate in the Best Love Letter Contest will also shave off five minutes off their final shiprunner time.
First, second, third and fourth price will also receive an additional price rewarded during prom.


You and your partner have until Wednesday, May 26th to sign up for the event!
You can give the map a try once you registered and have free time available. 

More information about how exactly it will work once you have signed up will follow soon, as some finishing touches still need to be done!

Best of luck to everyone, if there are any questions you know where to find us.

See you at Skyfall.

How could it be a prom if we don't involve our lovely Sentinel couples?!?! Start planning your flashy promposal and hope that you don't get slapped !!!
We have planned a potentially (for that I mean "very likely") relationship-ruining minigames course - Shiprunner, specifically tailored to destroy improve relationships. Click here for more information about it!
Right after we ruin your relationships, we present an opportunity for you to mend and make up to your partners, with this Love Letter Contest.

Afterparty???
There may or may not be an 18+ only after-party, with various (questionable) activities and (scandalous) games both in game and in the voice chat.
(Keep in mind, your dumb, inebriated antics will be recorded and shared on the server!) (;

See you at Skyfall.
