[{"content":"This morning, I awoke at the crisp hour of 5:30 am to my phone blowing up. There was some drama from last night about a cool homeless camp popping up. Upon further inspection of the logs, I noticed that there were some deaths, and decided to ask someone who was on what had happened.\nThey proceeded to inform me of the RP\u0026rsquo;ing that had occurred around the homeless camp, and that Jarvin had gotten heated from it. The individual mentioned that some deaths occured, and while they were ok with the death, that I should check with the others. They also mentioned that I should check my house in spawn, as afterwards Jarvin had spent a suspicious amount of time in there, and he was quite heated from the evenings events.\nAfter hearing this, I decided to hop on and investigate. Using CoreProtect, I was able to determine that he did indeed take items from my chest. I then began logging all the items taken, being careful to get evidence as well. Afterwards, I asked the individual and other witnesses where else they saw him that evening, and proceeded to investigate those ares.\nUpon inspection of a location within the HCE, I noticed that 1 of the thefts had occurred within 40 minutes of checking that chest, and that it wasn\u0026rsquo;t contained to that night. With this evidence of thefts occurring, the fact that they were still ongoing, and the possibility of people actually wanting to charge him with murder, I determined it would be best to use the emergency ban, which was noted in the ban statement. In the statement, I said\n\u0026ldquo;Emergency Ban (3 days) - Multiple Counts against SWR II (Stealing), and possible counts of SWR III (killing). Court Case Pending\u0026rdquo;.\nI then communicated to the server of the ban, and then informed him of the ban. I explained that it was only temporary, and that we would have a trial to determine how everyone would move forward from this event. That message was met with extreme hostility, which then turned to an accusation of YourLuckyStars7 killing him in cold blood. Through talking with witnesses and others at the time, we found through our investigation that YourLuckyStars7 was NOT guilty of murder, and that she only acted in self defense.\nMultiple individuals attempted to defuse the situation both in game and over discord, including @thebeardedcleric \u0026amp; @thedoctorhazard (thank you both). @samuel2097 also attempted to discuss with him the actions he had taken, and why we acted as we did. Their attempts to diffuse and explain the situation was met with more hostility however. In these conversations, we also found Prince Jarvin IV to lie multiple times about the events that went on. [We later received a response via another channel of communication that he did admit to lying about multiple items during the investigation]\nDue to the lies, events on the server, and communication between individuals of the server and Jarvin, we have deemed it best that he remain banned from both the Discord and Minecraft. He has shown to be hostile towards others, and his conduct was not christianly. We have made the concession that if his IRL friend @thedoctorhazard believes him to be reformed, we will invite him back with open arms. However, there is a lot of tension both in the virtual and real world with this scenario, hence our response was discussed with Hazard before we came to such a decision.\nFor individuals that lost anything due to Prince Jarvin\u0026rsquo;s (aka Vulturpene) actions, we will work to reinstate you with what was stolen. I have gone through and taken an inventory of all the locales that he was spotted in, and will contact those individuals directly if they would like the items back, or compensatory diamonds.\nWe are deeply saddened that it has come to this, and we ask for prayers for both Prince Jarvin IV, and @thedoctorhazard during this time.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/admin_banning_princejarviniv/","summary":"A public statement from the Administration on the Prince Jarvin IV situation.","title":"Public Statement on Prince Jarvin IV"},{"content":"Seppuku • Two wardens were discovered in Cubiza on Tuesday, in an attack that led to the death of TheBashfull and briefly pushed Cubiza and Diña closer to the brink of war.\n\u0026ldquo;I joined via mobile Tuesday morning and was greeted by a sudden darkness,\u0026rdquo; said Unstable_Cube, recounting the traumatic experience. \u0026ldquo;Tuesday night, I joined together with Bash \u0026hellip; When we dropped into the core of The Cube, we were greeted, not with one, but with TWO wardens.\u0026rdquo; The Cubizans were able to kill the first warden while the second warden escaped into the nether portal, with Bash in pursuit. \u0026ldquo;Bash was hit several times while his body was still being transported through the portal. Once he came to, he was left shocked by the sight of only having four hearts left. On the way back through the portal, he was struck by the sonic shriek of the warden and died.\u0026rdquo;\nFortunately, the wardens only caused minor damage– aside from Bash\u0026rsquo;s untimely death. But that didn\u0026rsquo;t stop Cubiza from pointing fingers. One of the wardens was named \u0026ldquo;Lemon\u0026rsquo;s Dishwasher\u0026rdquo;, gifting Cubiza the target they craved. Not to be humiliated, Cubiza quickly retaliated.\n\u0026ldquo;Today, the Cubizans attempted to kill me,\u0026rdquo; LegalLemon68927 told The Homeland Herald. \u0026ldquo;I was at the Goodwill [in SoVal], and Bash and Cube came into the shop. The air was rather tense, but I tried to continue looking around. I blacked out momentarily, and when I was back, I was losing health fast. I was able to save myself with a pickaxe. They had placed netherrack where I had blacked out in order to kill me.\u0026rdquo;\nBut Cubiza\u0026rsquo;s wrath had been misdirected. It wasn\u0026rsquo;t Lemon who delivered the wardens to Cubiza, but TheRecycler. Recycler admits that she moved the wardens, but she also claims that Lemon paid her to do it. Lemon denies his involvement: \u0026ldquo;Cyclie seems to be on a kick to frame me,\u0026rdquo; he said. When pressed for evidence of Lemon\u0026rsquo;s involvement, Recycler claimed that the messages were deleted.\nIn another twist, Recycler named SlammerDoc as her accomplice in the warden scheme. SlammerDoc responded, \u0026ldquo;I freely admit I made a way to produce an army of wardens, but I did not know, and still do not know, any plans for them.\u0026rdquo;\nAs of now, Cubiza blames TheRecycler for the attack. \u0026ldquo;We are unsure yet if more investigation is necessary,\u0026rdquo; said Cube. \u0026ldquo;We believe there were ulterior motives.\u0026rdquo; He also hinted at possible legal action against Recycler. \u0026ldquo;We will await for orders from The Cube on what actions will need to be taken. As for now, we will strengthen the land of Cubiza and prepare The Cube for anything that comes its way.\u0026rdquo;\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/report_recycler_warden_attack/","summary":"Recycler blamed for warden attack in Cubiza that killed 1","title":"Recycler Blamed for Warden Attack"},{"content":"Hey everyone!\nI just wanted to take a second to thank you for your continued support of the Lorecraft server.\nWe are now 2 years + into this server, and it only keeps getting better and better.

Happy Crafting!\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/2023_wrapup/","summary":"A quick thank you for the support in 2023.","title":"Thank you for 2023!"},{"content":"\rEven after more than a week of what has been described as an “exhausting” and “harrowing” election cycle, LoreCraft voters still won’t get any relief from the political process for at least a few more days. Friday morning, the hotly contested Attorney General election ended in an EXACT TIE between candidates Toria and LucyWolfie. They are now expected to both serve as Attorneys General at the same time, contingent on Resolution 21 passing in SWAG.\nThe final tally was 23 votes for Toria (48.9%), 23 votes for LucyWolfie (48.9%), and 2 votes for “none of these candidates” (2.2%). Notably, 89% of eligible voters turned out to cast their votes, leaving few undecided voters left for either campaign to persuade.\n“There were so many things happening with people dropping out, having to get the video edited, posting news articles, admins leaving. It was tough,” admin trailhopper27 explained. “And all of it to end in a tie? While I\u0026rsquo;m happy and love the democratic process, this election period has by far been the roughest time period for myself as an administrator that I\u0026rsquo;ve had to weather.”\nMany have noted that this particular election has been a uniquely exhausting one, unlike the relatively peaceful Server Leader election in April. Four players– ratat0ing, Toria, LucyWolfie, and Unknown_ErrorXD– declared their candidacy for Attorney General, squaring off in a live debate on Sunday which lasted two hours. Unknown_ErrorXD, a self-described unserious candidate, dropped out of the race live at the debate.\nThe debate was followed by escalating attacks between the campaigns, mostly from the ratat0ing camp. But ratat0ing’s seemingly unstoppable rise in the polls was dealt a death blow when Unknown_ErrorXD claimed that ratat0ing had leveraged his admin powers to pressure her to drop out of the race. Further adding to the chaos, in response to the allegations, admin trailhopper27 and Server Leader YourLuckyStars7 decided to start the election without ratat0ing on the ballot, leading to cries of corruption and election tampering from ratat0ing and his supporters. The election workers eventually relented and canceled the tainted ballot, but the damage was done. ratat0ing dropped out in disgrace and later stepped down from his long-held position as server administrator.\n“I realized that the only way to free myself from this dishonor– abuse of power or perception thereof– was to give up power entirely,” ratat0ing lamented in his letter of resignation.\nSo that left the field with two candidates: Toria and LucyWolfie. While Toria had spent hours arguing her policies at the debate, LucyWolfie had been unable to make it that night– which may have ultimately been the reason for her meteoric rise. Lucy soon shot up in the polls, with many voters citing her friendliness and helpfulness as reason for their support. While LucyWolfie rallied her friends and supporters in Cubiza, Kintenko, and elsewhere, Toria worked to maintain her fragile coalition of Commune members and ex-ratat0ing voters.\nWith the server holding its breath Friday afternoon, the vote ended in a deadlock. A perfectly tied election was unprecedented, leaving server leadership scratching their heads for an answer. Admin trailhopper27 punted the question to the ServerWide Association of Gamers (SWAG). Soon, Resolution 21 proposed that, in the event of any tied election, both candidates would win and serve in the position simultaneously. Resolution 21 is expected to pass on Monday. This time next week, Toria and LucyWolfie will both be Attorneys General.\ntrailhopper27 commented, “While it was exhausting, I can\u0026rsquo;t negate the fact that I have loved the player engagement so far, and I hope it continues on in the future.”\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/report_ag_election_tie/","summary":"Two Attorneys General?!

In a statement, Cleric explained, “\u0026hellip;with the construction of the Archives and the responsibilities and projects that come as Head Archivist, I feel my loyalties have been torn between my comrades and my role. The Archives are neutral ground, open to all, yet the Head Archivist is aligned with a faction. In order to maintain proper neutrality…I am leaving the Commune.”\nWhile an understandable and respectful departure, another announcement appeared a mere two hours later that sparked controversy. Three former communists sent the Commune a statement asking for a “voluntary dissolution,” which raised many concerns.\n“They’re basically saying, ‘We joined a group knowing that if we left, we would lose everything. Now that we left… I can’t face the consequences of my actions, so gimme please.’” exclaimed TheRecycler. “I don’t know if it’s realistic to ask that we split up property and items since that would be difficult with us owning so many things.”\nWhile some feel the intent may be in good faith, others fear ill-will is upon them.\nThe Commune will begin discussions and will put a decision to a vote in the near future.\nWill this be the end of Communism?

This shocking revelation caused some suspicion, and upon further investigation, it was found that Ratat0ing, commonly referred to as ‘Rat’, had previously spoken to Unknown, and planned for her to do this, along with wanting Unknown to attack fellow candidate, Toria, as well.\nThis begs the point to be brought up, that during the debate, candidate Toria brought up that Rat was also an admin and could use it to his advantage, to which Rat responded, “I have never done that, and I would never do that, especially in an elected position.”\nWhen asking for more information from Unknown, she expressed her hesitance about dropping from the election and how she felt pressured due to Ratat0ing’s power as an admin of the Lorecraft server.\nThroughout the conversation with Unknown, she repeatedly stated that she was afraid of Ratat0ing and continued to express concern about Rat attempting to retaliate against her coming forward with this information.\nWith this information, I hope that everyone takes it into consideration when voting for Attorney General.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/expose_attorney_general_removed/","summary":"After the recent shocking events that occurred during the Attorney General debate yesterday, information involving candidate Ratat0ing has shown corruption after he pressured another candidate, Unknown_Err0rXD, to attack Toria, drop out of the election, and publicly endorse him.","title":"Candidate found to be corrupt, removed from election"},{"content":"We\u0026rsquo;ve been here twice before. The first time a server reset was suggested, it was shut down immediately. People wanted to preserve what they already had. There were long term projects in the works. People had built communities and events and friendships. We had created a whole world together, and a lot of people didn\u0026rsquo;t want to lose that.\nThe second time a reset came up, it passed SWAG, and we started a whole new world. This world. People missed the beginning stages of Minecraft. They missed building the community, and weren\u0026rsquo;t as satisfied by just growing it. They wanted us to be able to do it all over again and see what went differently this time.\nI had been working on a massive project. This was the biggest thing I had ever attempted, and I was excited. I spent seven months digging out a massive hole in the deepslate for this build, and that was just step one. I finished digging two days before we reset the world, and I lost it all.\nI had also been involved in the community on the last world. I got excited for different events, and I loved hearing about what everyone was working on. I spent a ton of time on the server just hanging out. I thought I could carry that over into the new world, or maybe find a new place in the community that was a bit quieter. Instead, I found myself spending less and less time there. I never finished what I lost, and some part of me still hasn\u0026rsquo;t been able to move on to the new things this world has to offer.\nWhen I first joined Lorecraft, I think I assumed this was a world that would be around for a long time. I thought I would get to see it constantly grow, and that I could spend time working on big projects and the like. I got invested in what was going on, because I thought it was going to last. I\u0026rsquo;m not going to lie, I do want to go back to that world and all the things I left unfinished. But there is something more important here, regardless of how this vote goes.\nI think the big question is not about resetting the server to an older version. I think the question should be about whether or not we allow resets in the future. If resets are going to happen, that\u0026rsquo;s great and fine. We should at least warn people when they join so they don\u0026rsquo;t get their hopes up like I did, only to lose it all when they get invested and have to start from scratch. People should know what they are signing up for. And if we choose not to allow resets in the future, then we need to pick a version of the world and stick with it.\nNo one server is going to be able to satisfy every single Minecraft player. Some people really enjoy the beginning stages of the game. They like working their way up to different achievements, building a few things, then starting over again when they run out of steam. Others like me enjoy the long game. They like picking one world and sticking with it, adding more and more every time they log on. Most people will probably fall somewhere in between or outside of that scale. Finding a place where you can get the gaming experience you\u0026rsquo;re looking for is important, which is why I think it is important we decide what kind of server this will be. Will we be staying in one world, or will we reset every so often when we feel it\u0026rsquo;s time? Whatever we decide, we should stick to it and find a way to let new players know before they find themselves in a server that might not suit their interests.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/opinion_subject_res_14/","summary":"One player's opinion on the issue of server resets as a whole.","title":"On the Subject of Resolution 14"},{"content":"Hello all!\nJust a reminder to sign up for spleef!

A beautiful collaboration between individuals and their diverse talents, coming together to share resources of their own free will and selflessness. What a beautiful community to be a part of.\nAs I ventured out into the world, I discovered other players who had their own ideas about what prosperity looks like. Some decided to claim their own territory. Others decided to build kingdoms. Who was I to question their ways? Some met me with kindness and generosity, while others preferred to stay to themselves.\nThose who were kind to me stuck out. I recall a time I ventured into the Nether all by myself and was lost. A player, not of the commune, generously offered me leather enhanced boots to help me get around and was patient and kind as I learned my way to different portals. Another time, a player graciously offered me food when I was on the brink of death. This player was also not from the Commune.

This will end up being a little more difficult to get through, however I was seeing that we could all agree for a town or location in which we could build shoppes, farms, etc., and only allow the countrymen within the group to be able to come in and trade freely. This would not all be free, and I don\u0026rsquo;t know where this would be located, but that would be up for discussion.\nCurrently, this is just an idea in my head. However, I would like to see it come to a reality. Please, don\u0026rsquo;t let fear keep you from joining! We will be stronger together, and as we can see from Resolution 4, it looks like we may need that strength too, as the commune and their communists become more and more bloodthirsty, and continue to disregard human life.\nIf you are interested in joining, please DM @trailhopper27 via discord. Once we have a couple of members, I will create a chat with all of us and we can prepare everything required in order to bring about our new organization.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/opinion_a_new_organization/","summary":"How we should all come together against the bloodthirsty communists","title":"It's Time for a new Organization"},{"content":"According to an accidental intelligence operation, the commune was found to have a forced labor camp full of villagers captured against their own will.

Finds Acts of Animal Cruelty and Forced Labor Camps.","title":"Commune is found to have forced labor and more"},{"content":"\rWe were shocked and saddened to read a recent article by MrWeish, “The Communists Have Gone Too Far”, which makes a lot of inaccurate and misleading claims about the Commune. This article was not how we, the Commune, hoped to be introduced to the world. So we humbly ask you, reader, to let go of all your preconceived notions about the Commune and hear us out.\nBut first, allow me to introduce myself. My name is ratat0ing. I am a lifelong member of the Commune. The elevator pitch for our experimental community is that all property is shared by all members. We have one Central Storage building where all items are kept, free to use for all members. But the Commune is so much more than that. We all live by five Pillars, emphasizing values such as collectivism, shared property, democratic decision-making, equality, and mutual trust.\nMrWeish claims that “the Commune is a communist society built on the backs of the working class”. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how our community works. In the Commune, there is no elite or working class, thanks to Pillar #4: “all members are equal in status and power”. We have no leaders. The thriving community you see today is the product of grassroots cooperation among equal members, not capitalistic greed or forced labor imposed by some imaginary elite.\nI’ll be the first to admit that I was originally skeptical about the Commune’s system. Wouldn’t collective property just encourage laziness and freeloading? But to my pleasant surprise, my concerns were proven wrong. When individuals are freed from the incentive of profit, the collective as a whole thrives. That’s why the Commune is the fastest-growing and most cohesive community in the world today. It has been a beautiful thing to watch unfold.\nBut this community can only thrive when individuals do not cheat the system. It’s why we have Pillar #5: “All members must act in good faith, with mutual trust and sincerity of intention, for the good of the Commune”. The instant one individual begins to act out of their own self-interest, the system breaks down. That’s why we in the Commune do not take kindly to outsiders reaping the rewards of the Commune without sowing. All members contribute, all members benefit.\nIn his recent article, MrWeish admits that he bought a diamond chestplate from one of the villagers owned by the Commune, without permission. He was then confronted by my comrades, TheRecycler and TheBeardedCleric. As punishment, MrWeish and my comrades agreed that MrWeish would return eight diamonds to the Commune and allow my comrades to execute him and take his head. The chat logs show that MrWeish agreed to these terms. It’s not like the Communers killed him without his permission.\nMrWeish argues that his purchase from the villager was not theft, since “the items offered by the villagers don’t belong to the Commune, they belong to the villagers. I didn’t steal the villagers from them.” In my mind, it doesn’t matter if the action was technically theft. At its core, it was an example of one individual benefitting from the work of the Commune without contributing work himself. If MrWeish had asked permission first, I’m sure that would have been a whole different story. The Commune has always been willing to share our spoils with outsiders.\nMrWeish, if you’re reading this, let us leave the past in the past and continue in peace. If you ever want to use the Commune’s resources, all you have to do is ask. Maybe someday, if you set aside your capitalistic ways, you can become a part of the beautiful experiment we call the Commune. That goes for everyone. If you want to be part of a vibrant community and never worry about putting food on the table again, we in the Commune welcome you with open arms.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/opinion-give-the-commune-a-chance/","summary":"MrWeish wants you to believe that the Commune is the bad guy. Hear us out.","title":"Give the Commune a Chance"},{"content":"As many in the community may already know, I was recently executed by communists for trading with their villagers. My name is MrWeish, and I’ve only recently joined the server. I have been working hard to build a capitalist paradise on the mountains east of Spawn, which has put me on the border of the large community known as “The Commune”.\nThe Commune is a communist society built on the backs of the working class. They absolutely despise capitalists like me, who work hard for what we have. Since starting work on my settlement, I have been met with constant hostility from them. One could even say that they have been predisposed to hate me.\nWhile looking for an easier way to get diamond armor, I discovered their villager trading hall. There, I took my own goods and traded with the villagers for a diamond chestplate. I was quickly confronted by Commune members. Normally the Commune is supposed to vote on major decisions, but in my case, they simply declared me guilty on the spot for theft, no trial whatsoever. I had to pay them back for the chestplate with eight diamonds and was then executed so they could take my head and put it on a spike for the whole world to see. Not only was it humiliating, but it was completely undeserved.\nFor one, I didn’t break any rules. There was no official rule on the server against trading with someone else’s villagers. According to Rule 2 of the Base Rules for Lorecraft, stealing is defined as such: “taking or destroying another player’s private property (items, mobs, etc.) without their permission”. The items offered by the villagers don\u0026rsquo;t belong to the Commune, they belong to the villagers. I didn’t steal the villagers from them. I made a completely legitimate trade with a villager, an item for an item. The Commune came in as an illegal third party and intimidated me to give them payment they were NOT due.\nSince I’m a new player, I didn’t know the rules of the server very well. When the Commune members came to intimidate me, they convinced me that I had somehow broken a rule and that I had to pay up. They took advantage of me and continued to humiliate me by putting my head on a spike for the whole world to see. It goes without saying that I also lost many levels when they brutally executed me, just another punishment for a crime I didn’t commit.\nWith this all being said, it is my firm belief that I have been wronged, and that all players should beware of the Commune. The rapid armament of their members and the increasingly aggressive threats they type into chat have gotten out of hand. I may have been the first to fall victim to these communists, but I surely won’t be the last.\nI would like to finish by saying that, while this nasty business has certainly created tension, my businesses will still be open to all Commune members, including my planned state-of-the-art casino where guests can gamble to earn hundreds of diamonds and other high-value rewards. This and many more future businesses will soon be opened at the capitalist paradise, which I would like for everyone to consider as neutral ground where they can come to spend their hard-earned valuables. Together, we can build a brighter (and much wealthier) future.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/news/opinion_the_communists_have_gone_too_far/","summary":"Opinion piece on why I was killed by communists, and why I don’t think it was justified.","title":"The Communists Have Gone Too Far"},{"content":"Do you enjoy writing?

The ultimate goal of this project is to allow Minecraft: Bedrock Edition users to join Minecraft: Java Edition servers as seamlessly as possible to allow for true cross-platform.\nWhile this is something that players won\u0026rsquo;t directly interface with, we decided to put this up for transparency. Geyser will only be noticable to players when it stops working, notably around version updates. When this happens, the admins will wait in the Geyser official discord, and wait until the new version is released in order to fix the bedrock connections.\nDynmap Dynmap is essentially Google Maps for Minecraft, and can be accessed from your browser at map.lorecraft.cc.\nWithin Dynmap, you can claim land by claiming an area. Once you claim land, that land is yours to use as you see fit. Below are some commands to help you get started with claiming an area:\nMove to a corner or point on the outside of the area that you want to claim Type /dmarker add corner Move to the next point on the outside of the area that you want to claim, making a straight line from the last corner Type /dmarker add corner again; this essentially draws a line between the first corner and this one. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have outlined your area After adding the last corner, type /dmarker addarea {label}, replacing the label with whatever you want to name the area Congragulations! You have just claimed an area! This area now shows on the map. If you would like too (and we highly recommend that you do), change the outline color by doing /dmarker updatearea {label} color:#{RRGGBB}, or change the fill color with /dmarker updatearea {label} fillcolor:#{RRGGBB}. You can even change the opacity by doing /dmarker updatearea {label} fillopacity:{0.0-1.0}, where 0 is transparent and 1 is completely filled.\nYou can also add individual icons to the map as well. This could be for shops, or whatever you like! You can add a marker to the map by doing /dmarker addicon id:{ID} {label} icon:{icon}. The list of icons that you can choose from can be found below:\nWant to dive even deeper in Dynmap?

It also houses the main mechanism to making changes to the server - SWAG - which we will discuss later.\nTo begin with, click this link to join the discord server. If you do not already have a discord account, you can create one at this link. In case you are brand new to discord, here is a video outlining the basics of discord in 148,000 milliseconds or less.\nNow that we have an understanding of how to interact with Discord, how does LoreCraft work? There are a couple channels that should be findable at all times. Here\u0026rsquo;s a list of them!\n#welcome - A channel for all the system messages. Any new users that join will have a message here notifying the rest of the server #links - This channel is all the links that a user may need for the server. It contains links to maps, important plugins, and other such items! #system-notifications - Are you having an issue with the server? There may be a message about that in this channel! It mainly pertains to the systems that Lorecraft hosts, so the map, server itself, or the webpage #announcements - This is the server that admins will use to communicate changes or poll users. #funding - Our minecraft server is crowd funded. Each month, we require a certain amount of money from the community in order to operate the server. If the amount isn\u0026rsquo;t reached, the server could go down at the end of the billing cycle. Dontations are not expected, however they are apreciated and required to keep the server running! There is only 1 more channel that I haven\u0026rsquo;t mentioned yet, as it is the next topic of conversation!\nGetting on the Whitelist The #get-whitelisted channel is specifically for getting your user account on the whitelist! We utilize a whitelist to limit individuals that are not a part of the server from joining, as well as using it to limit users from joining if there is an issue.\nDepending on which version of Minecraft you use, the process may be slightly different. Java users should send their minecraft username in the channel. For Bedrock users, connect first to the server at mcb.lorecraft.cc, and then when it says \u0026ldquo;Not whitelisted\u0026rdquo;, then send a message in the #get-whitelisted channel. This allows the server to know the bedrock user exists, and therefore can be whitelisted. If this is not completed, the whitelist may not work.\nWhile you\u0026rsquo;re waiting to be whitelisted, now would be a good time to continue reading the next 2 sections, the Rules and the Plugins!\nJoining the Game Once you\u0026rsquo;ve gotten on the whitelist, there\u0026rsquo;s not much else to do! You can join the server at either mc.lorecraft.cc for Java players, and mcb.lorecraft.cc for Bedrock players. If you have the time, we would highly recommend reading through the Rules on the rules page, where we outline the different plugins and rules that have been created by the rest of the players. I would also highly recommend going to the news section as well to learn about developments in the current world.\nWe hope you enjoy the game!

If a player is not active, they may not vote on or propose resolutions until they are active.\nVotes within SWAG Once a resolution is proposed, players will have 72 hours to cast their vote. Votes are cast by reacting with a \u0026#x1f44d; or a \u0026#x1f44e; reaction on the resolution. For resolutions not pertaining to SWAG or World Resets only require a simple majority of votes to pass (50% + 1). Resolutions that pertain to the system of SWAG or pertain to World Resets will require a 75% majority vote to pass. There is not a minimum amount of votes required on any resolution.\nProposing Resolutions \u0026amp; Discussions Discussions are to take place in the tread below the resolution post. All resolutions should be formatted with title containing \u0026ldquo;Resolution N\u0026rdquo;. If the proposal is a world reset, the proposal should be titled \u0026ldquo;World Reset M\u0026rdquo;, notably being a different counter specific to world resets.\nIf a Resolution is proposed, and then must be changed, it can be edited. When you go to edit it, the following items need to be changed:\nPer Resolution 5, SWAG resolutions may no longer be edited. If you would like to edit a resolution, a similar solution is to apply the \u0026ldquo;voided\u0026rdquo; tag, and then propose the same resolution with a new number. The voided resolution will be closed and locked.\nFurther questions If you have more questions as they pertain to SWAG, please reach out to one of the admins in the general chat, or feel free to DM them.\n","permalink":"https://www.lorecraft.cc/rules/swag-guidelines/","summary":"Guidelines for utilizing SWAG","title":"SWAG Utilization"}]
