      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

  1. By popular demand we have decreased the teleport cool down on the Freebie server to 1 minute.
  2. Thanks for the kind words Today was a pretty good day. We reached the player cap on the Freebie TFC server. Since we have new hardware I've decided to increase the cap to 25. We'll see how it goes when towns get more settled and have more stuff running all the time.
  3. After plans started for our new servers almost a year ago, today they are finally ready for the public. We are happy to announce that our new TerraFirmaCraft servers are open for people to play on In total we have 5 new servers: Freebie TFC, our public non-whitelisted server. Donor TFC, huge server for donors with less restrictions. Donor TFC Hardcore, huge server for donors that like to play TFC without teleports. Donor TechnodeFirmaCraft, this server runs a mod pack from the ATLauncher Jail, players that break the rules get send here for menial labor. You can join our servers through the lobby or directly if you prefer. Please read the server rules and details on our server page. In short, join us on lobby.happydiggers.net:4000 or any of the other IP and ports listed on the page above. All the servers have fully pre-generated maps. The Freebie TFC map is 20.000 by 20.000 blocks in size. The Donor servers are 80.000 by 80.000 blocks in size. The maps are well over 400GB in size. Dynmap for all these servers take up over 3TB of disk space. People who like playing on our servers may consider donating. Donors get certain perks which are all cosmetic in nature. Perks do not carry over between servers. On each server each player is equal gameplay wise. There is no pay to win. After almost a year of planning and doing we're finally here. I'd like to thank all of the staff members and the other volunteers that have helped us get everything ready. Thanks guys
  4. Migrating user data and the ark ships to the new servers took up too much time. So unfortunately that means the new servers won't open today. Stay tuned for updates.
  5. It's not a premium account at all. It's simply a legal copy of the game. You need to buy Minecraft in order to play on our servers. If you don't have a valid Mojang account, you can't play on our servers. Sorry :B
  6. Only one week left until the new servers open Be sure to get the stuff you want to take with you into the Arks at spawn no later than March 9th.
  7. TFC Factions Server?

    In theory that sounds nice. But in practice that's not how it works. The negotiations would go something like this: Player A: Give us your stuff. Player B: No. Player A: WAR!!! Then the whole thing turns into chaos where people are raiding villages left and right because, it's war and collateral damage seems acceptable. Players who just wanted to build a town and play the game leave frustrated because all of their effort just got stolen or griefed. The pvp fans leave shortly after that because there is no one left to raid. We have seen this happen several times now on our servers. The players who like factions, raiding and pvp are usually not the ones who stick around and help build a server and a community. And they are almost never the ones who stick around to rebuild after the war. But like I said before. If you want a factions server, create one and see how it goes. 10 people voted they would like such a server. So you should get at least 10 players, that's more than enough to have a war with. Who knows, maybe this time things will be different.
  8. March 10th the old servers will close and the new ones will open. I will not wait for people to move their stuff on March 10th. So please get your stuff in the Ark no later than March 9th. Press TAB to see the server's date/time. That's the time I live by. After the old servers close I need to manually move the Arks to the new servers, convert the player data and put that on the new server. Then builders need to build a dock for the Arks. Once everything is done the new servers are ready for the public. This means that for a period there will be no TFC servers available on March 10th. I'll try to keep this window as small as possible. However people are free to enjoy our lobby server and the many games it offers. Once the new servers open I will make an announcement on the HappyDiggers front page, the HappyDiggers forum, the TFC forum and Twitter. Please see these thread on our forum for more information: New server plans Build thread: Freebie TFC, Donor TFC / TFC HC / TnFC
  9. We have decided on a launch date for the new servers. About 3 weeks from now, March 10th.
  10. Since TerraFirmaCraft 0.79.28.908 was released there has been a serious issue with food decay. See reported issue here: http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/9117-food-decay-russian-roulette/ This issue will not be fixed as the TFC devs are hard at work on TFC 2. So we have decided to change the TFC config on our servers to work around this problem. LarsonPacific has done extensive research into this problem going as far as to reviewing the TFC source code to find the rout cause of this problem. His recommendation is as follows: I have set the following config option: I:decayProtectionDays=6 (from default 24) If you experience anymore problems with food decay please let us know.
  11. Progress on the new servers is very good. Most of the hard labor for the Freebie TFC server is done. Which means we're moving on to the Premium TFC server as far as laying down roads and creating outposts is concerned.
  12. [Solved] Crashing on Debian with OpenJDK

    Four years of hosting Minecraft servers has taught us an important lesson: Don't ever use OpenJDK for running Minecraft. This will go against all sense of 'openness' that you will find while running Debian, but I strongly recommend installing and using Oracle Java instead. If you decide to try this keep in mind that Oracle needs you to accept their eula before downloading. You can do this by modifying the URL with which you download the jdk. Something like this should work: wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u73-b02/jdk-8u73-linux-x64.tar.gzSince Oracle Java is not part of the Debian distribution you should create the following directory for it: mkdir /opt/jdkand extract the file you downloaded there: tar -zxf jdk-8u73-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /opt/jdk Then set Oracle as the default JVM with: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk/jdk<YourVersion something like 1.8.0_73>/bin/java 100update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk/jdk<YourVersion something like 1.8.0_73>/bin/javac 100If all went well you can verify your installation with: update-alternatives --display javaupdate-alternatives --display javacorjava -versionUpdating is done as follows: update-alternatives --remove java /opt/jdk/jdk.old.version/bin/javaupdate-alternatives --remove javac /opt/jdk/jdk.old.version/bin/javacrm -rf /opt/jdk/jdk.old.versionGood luck *edit* Added extract command in case someone reads this and doesn't yet know how.
  13. We have started a central thread where we post updates on our building progress. You can find it here: http://happydiggers.net/showthread.php?2109-Build-thread-Freebie-TFC-Premium-TFC-TFC-HC-TnFC
  14. We have started a build thread to keep track of progress on the various serves. If you like you can view it here: http://happydiggers.net/showthread.php?2109-Build-thread-Freebie-TFC-Premium-TFC-TFC-HC-TnFC We have also launched a new ARK: Survival Evolved server. We feel it may be of interest to those who enjoy the survival aspects of TFC. Server IP: happydiggers.net This server is free to play and has simple rules. Respect the staff and other players. There is to be no player harassment. No wiping of people's bases unless they're in a cave or on top of a mountain. And each tribe may have no more than 3 bases.

Friendly community style playing with the opportunity to still engage in PvP. 3rd person disabled Crosshairs disabled Map player location enabled (Only shows yourself, helpful for finding friends) No character/dino downloads No base leveling/wiping. Bust in get what you want and leave. No dino wiping.

  15. The HappyDiggers TFC servers have been updated to 0.79.28.908. You can download it from here: http://terrafirmacraft.com/download.html And this is the changelog: http://terrafirmacraft.com/change_log.html I have also updated the proxy server. It now shows the TAB screen for the new upcoming servers:
  16. Awesome, a new server. Good luck with everything and have fun
  17. [0.79.29] DarkAgeCraft Off Line

    Tony, your PM inbox is full. Wanted to warn you about cfortes, kingme441 and Jes0rKah. They are aliases for one and the same player. He's one of those griefers that do it for fun and should be banned on sight.
  18. Please check this topic's title to see which version of TerraFirmaCraft we're currently using. Right now that's 0.79.26.881. We're not updating to 0.79.27 as it often crashes the client due to a known (and fixed!) bug. We'll try to update when 0.79.28 comes along
  19. TFC server

    HappyDiggers has plenty of room as it's the largest TFC server. It's hosted in the Netherlands.
  20. End of TFC 1

    I think there's a difference between playing creatively, and playing in creative mode. One is creating something that looks nice like a town or a castle. Maybe with a lot of ornaments, chisel, etc. The other is to provide items and blocks to a player. You could make the argument that vanilla Minecraft itself, although it has creative mode, is fairly limited in it's creative gameplay. And yet a ton of people play the game that way. Even if TFC 2 is committed to providing a non-creative gameplay experience, I'll guarantee that a lot of people will play it that way. People just like to build things that look nice with the blocks and items at their disposal. It's one of the biggest appeals to the game after all. If you need examples, we have a ton of towns on our server where people made all sorts of interesting and nice looking builds. They don't look nice because of chisel, they look nice because people make interesting combinations with what they have. It would be really nice if TFC 2 would allow players to use the creative tab to spawn in completely functional items. Even without getting side tracked in by a game mechanic that eats up a lot of dev time people will enjoy this a lot. And it would also make the lives of server admins a lot easier if we could spawn in say, food items without the need for command blocks to edit nbt data. We aren't quite finished with TFC 1 yet though. There still are a lot of people playing the game and we've got 3 new servers planned to be opened soon. I'll say this for TFC. It's been a wild and interesting ride. TFC does what very few mods manage to do and that is expand vanilla Minecraft in more or less the direction that vanilla Minecraft was going in but never quite reached. I hope you guys continue on this journey and make vanilla Minecraft all it can be in TFC
  21. Have you read, understood, and followed all of the rules listed in large text at the top of the support forum? (Yes/No):yes Answering "no" to the above question will result in your post being deleted. TFC Version #:0.79.27.903 Forge Version #:10.13.4.1558 Please note that an actual number must be provided for both of the above fields. Simply saying "current" or "latest" will result in your post being locked, due to the fact that in a large number of cases, users who say they are using the "latest" or "current" version are actually using an outdated version. SSP/SMP (SinglePlayer/MultiPlayer):both Have you deleted your config files or are using default configs and are still able to reproduce this bug? (Yes/No):yes If you answered no to the above question, delete all 3 TFC config files (TFCCrafting, TFCConfig, TFCOre), do NOT edit or add to any of the files, and try to reproduce the bug. This question is here because many bugs are caused by mistakes in config files. If you are unable to delete your edited config files, please provide a list of the config options you have changed. Do you have any mods other than Forge and TFC installed? (Yes/No):no If yes, which mods? If you have Optifine or Cauldron installed, can you still reproduce the bug after uninstalling them? (Yes/No):Tested in singleplayer without anything else but Forge + TFC. If you answered no to the above question, uninstall Optifine/Cauldron and try to reproduce the bug. Both Optifine and Cauldron edit the base classes of forge that TFC uses. Because of this, we cannot officially support any issues that happen only when these mods are installed.In the majority of cases, TFC is not causing the bug; Optifine/Cauldron is and TFC can do nothing to fix it. All bug reports should have an answer of "Yes" to this question. If you refuse to uninstall Optifine/Cauldron, and cannot reproduce the bug when the mods are not installed, do not bother making a bug report, as it will be locked and ignored. Pastebin.com link of the Crash Report:http://pastebin.com/a9iSgvaj Description: Minecraft loads. You get to see the main menu. Starting a new world shows the log generating the spawn area. Then when you actually join the local server the game crashes to desktop. The same happens when you try to join a standalone server.

  23. [Solved] Server problems?

    Chances of success seem to increase if you first load a singleplayer world and then try to join the multiplayer server.
