Official Server Welcome and Tutorial
Welcome! We have been making a lot of changes on the server, and there are more to come.
General Tips
- Don't grief.
- Griefing: Deliberate destruction or obstruction of another's creation.
- Griefer: One who griefs.
- Play the single-player game before joining the server! There are a lot of nuances of the game you need to be familiar with before you try to play multiplayer.
- When you enter the server for the first time, take a moment to look around the spawn point.
- To talk, press T.
- All commands must be typed in chat, and be preceded by /(forward slash).
- To get back to Spawn at any time, type "/spawn".
- Need a quick refresher on available commands? Type "/help 1" and "/help 2".
- Make an awesome structure, and want other people to see it? Ask a Mod to set a warp.
- Have a lot of items you need to get rid of? Don't just drop them. Go to Spawn, and toss them in the incinerator.
- Lava, Water, Obsidian, Bedrock, TNT, Mob Spawners, Flint and Steel, Fire, Minecarts, Minecart Tracks, and Switches are banned. These items are either not optimized for multiplayer and result in a crash, or can be easily exploited for destruction.
- Be warned: The server restarts every hour automatically to clear lag and memory leaks.
- Have a complaint, or just want to hang out? Get on Mumble! Server: mumble.nerd.nu Port: 6162
- Want a reserve slot on the server? Donate to Kiva, and get a reserve slot for a month! Kiva is an international micro-loan agency, and you get your money back as the borrowers pay it off.

The following are purely hypotheses.
- Large number of droped items on the ground.
- Large amounts of water/lava dynamic spreading.
- Many players online at once.
- Thousands of stored player files.
- Disk usage.
Future of the Server
There are many things we plan to implement in the near future.
