You guys might also see an account named “Vocalkiller” on there—that’s a fellow I know IRL. ---

OK, I’ve got the XP farm and enchanting table ready. My cooked chicken farm is running, and I’ve got an AFK fishing hole built. I think next is some pumpkin watermelon and kelp farms. Then time to capture some villages and make a trading post and some other farms. ---

Still can’t get out of my driveway, so I may have some more time to play today. ---

Like your treehouse. I didn’t notice it was there for a while. I lit it up for you. ---

I was interrupted before I could do more than lay down the first floor. It will be a proper house given a little time. ---

I’m having loads of fun. I like showing off all my silly automated farms. Finished a small kelp farm today. And this time I’m trying to make it look nice too. ---

I might have built a giant tree, pay no attention, it’s a work in progress. ---

My cows are all gone. And there is this huge tree house blocking my view now. 🙂 And compared to some of the videos I watch I’m a total amateur. ---

@Lee_Ars, did you do some research before picking that host? Do you mind letting me know what level you picked? I’m looking at starting one for our church youth group. I’ve found some that are cheaper but this place does seem to have a bit more polish to it than others. I’m taking a poll to see how many are even interested. ---

Not sure, but I think he ran his own on previous incarnations, so I’m guessing a Big Deal feature was ease of setup: He didn’t need to spend time to get goodies like the map working. One thing you may need to look for is mod support: I think he’s trusting us all to not be trolls, but there’s no intrinsic protections that mods might offer, such as making the Spawn area ‘locked’ to prevent editing and such. ---

> [@Woodman](#): > > @Lee_Ars, did you do some research before picking that host? Do you mind letting me know what level you picked? I did a few minutes of googling and picked a host that had a web interface I liked and a price that didn’t make me roll my eyes, but I didn’t read too many reviews—I figured since I wanted to run straight vanilla with a low player volume that pretty much anywhere would work A-OK. I picked an “Orion” level host at this place, which had the most RAM (since my recollection is that RAM is most critical to a minecraft server). I thought about rolling up one myself—I actually have a server on the LAN here that I’d been poking around with—but I wanted to have a livemap and once I went down the road to getting that set up, all the old server management PTSD came back and I decided to not bother with self-hosting. edit - basically exactly what @balance said 😃 [Previous page](https://cog.discourse.group/t/interest-in-a-new-vanilla-minecraft-server/1619.md?page=2) [Next page](https://cog.discourse.group/t/interest-in-a-new-vanilla-minecraft-server/1619.md?page=4)
