We've reimplemented the orebfuscator plugin along with MCMMO. So now you can enjoy a x-rayer free environment along with MMO.
Fixed several errors we were getting with essentials. We will begin to reconfigure essentials tomorrow. As for now it will not have any affect the the users playing.
We've started a facebook page. Like us on facebook to support the server.
Ok, We've fixed the issue with factions.
Reconfigured a few plugins. Everything is running very smooth right now.
Announcing a 4x experience bonus on on MCMMO skills for the weekend!
The arena is officially done. type /warp arena to view it!
Servers are running stables! 4x experience this weekend for all MCMMO skills!
A lot of new players are joining. We're welcoming them all. Just follow the rules and enjoy the server!
Server is back online after a server outage. This was out of our control and our host has given us a few free days of credit because of it.
The mob arena now officially works!
Update: We've opened a player shop. Another addition brought to you by Break0utC0n! You can now sell your items via the player shop.
Back to the 24/7 online status we're accustomed to. Our host has resolved all their issues over a day ago. Also we've implemented a different way to track down and stop xrayers on our server instead of using the CPU dependent orebfuscator plugin. It used way to much of our CPU. Even the mighty i7 couldn't handle it!
We've added a player market! Buy your slot for only $75 in-game this week! It is a half off sale going on this week only! Thank you Break0utC0n for another lovely addition to our server!
I've bought-en a new dedicated server from restone hosting! We currently planned on releasing it to the public about an hour ago but to technical difficult we're going to have to delay it a short while. Until then you can enjoy our current server host. You can still progress on this server and the progression will take place on the next world! So there is no effect on your current game play.
We're proud to announce we've switched host and are now online! We now have a capacity of 80 members! Also we've upgraded from 3gb to 5gb of ram, better uplink, hard disk, and processing power! You can now enjoy the server like it was meant! And the best part we can not guarantee 24/7 uptime!
Currently trying to buy items via the player market doesn't work at the moment. We're trying to figure out the issue. Until then buy your items from the spawn shop.
I'm back online this morning to help regulate the server, If any new players need some help just let me know and I'd be glad to direct you. Also creating a faction now cost in game money. This will be a good money sink and will promote working for your money.
Update: I've added a cool banner on the front of all our threads to help better notify people of our uptime, IP, and current players on the server!
I'll be installing the dynmap plugin shortly to help keep track of users in-game. This will make it much easier to manage the server on us administrators. We're not exactly sure if it's going to be public yet. Also, we may be upgrading to the highest package available from our host!
I've made some extensive changes to the mob arena. I've added and balance a few extra classes to give the mob arena more variety. Also I've added 2 extra bosses and changes the health around on each one. The bosses will now be: Wave 10 - Cave_Spider, Wave 20 - Enderman, Wave 30 - EnderDragon. Also the new classes I added were the Assassin class and Berserker. Assassin class will contain a variety of high damage abilities but low armor. The berserker class contains the same content of the Knight class just with a strength potion. This will now allow you to train your axes skill via the mob arena. I'd also like to add that we've switched the worlds in which the mob arena is to help further prevent any lag in the main world and mob arena. One more thing I'd like to add is that we've fixed the falling through the world via the mob arena by adding water below it. This should stop the death completely.
I'll be adding some plugins back in the game that were previously removed due to our previous host not being able to handle them. Dynmap is one of these.
I've adjusted the numbers and potions of the current classes in the mob arena to more balance them. Also expect the enderman boss to be changed soon because he sometimes will glitch outside of the arena. Which is no fun! I'll most likely change him to a blaze.
We've got our domain name fully setup. Visit our website at : http://www.minedream.info/
This will now make the website a lot easier to access.
Updated the mob arena for more balance. I hope you enjoy the new fixes.
Performed a server restart to refresh the files. Server was backup almost immediately and running really smooth again. I'll begin adding server restart schedules every 8 hours to help maintain server performance.
Server is back online after an hour of downtime due to removing excess files from our ramdisk to help improve performance. Tomorrow we will be hosting a drop party to make up for the 24 hour roll back that has occurred because of this issue. I'll also be upgrading the host to perhaps get more head room for ram, cpu, and hopefully our ramdisk.
Thank you very much Hesi for redoing the mob arena after the roll back. I'm very sorry it happened. The urban mob arena will be back up sometime tomorrow morning.
We'll be adding the ability to rent certain areas of the map soon. Also for our player market we'll be charging a weekly fee on anybody who buys a player market after Monday. So buy them while you can get them without the weekly fee! I'd also like to note that we are now accepting more forms of donations from users. Such as onebip, paypal, and paygol!
We'll be hosting a drop part at 3pm! That's 20 minutes! Dropping quite a bit of items, so now's your chance to get ahead on the server! We're doing this because of the recent rollback from our host. Not much was lost from the users but we feel bad so we're hosting this party.
We've recently switched host to a much better host. This will stop the rollbacks that have been happening to us caused by our previous host. You can use play.minedream.info as the IP to connect to and it will redirect you to our current host. FPSBox has some amazing deals and customer service to offer us. We can now get 2x the ram for the same price!
This host has much better performance than our previous host. And the best part is.. It's actually located in the U.S. We set it up in NYC to give both U.S players and European players the ability to place with low latency. Glad we've made the switch. Not a single crash because of this host so far.
I've added more things to purchase on our buycraft website. Let me remind everyone that all donations go towards paying the monthly fees associated with hosting and upgrading our packages for improved performance in-game. You can visit our buycraft website at this link if your interested : http://mdpvp.buycraft.net/
Our forums will be down for atleast 1 hour and possibly stretching as long as 24 hours while Jacksta upgrades to a new dedicated server. Our game server will still be playable, just the website won't be up.
Just reached our 400th unique visitor 5 minutes ago! Server is growing fast! Also, the website is back up again. Thanks Jacksta for providing the new host for the website!
I've updated the banners on our website and the original post. I'll also be making a video shortly of what we have to offer new people. It will include our mob arena, pvp arenas, spawns, markets, vip course, and more.
Updated the original post a lot. Redid everything to make it a lot more appealing. Added our public websites, updated all the pictures, updated information, added buttons to label everything, added logos, new ip. And a lot more than I can't think of right now! Hope you like it!
We're improving the server every single day and now is the best time to join! We've got a solid host now with 24/7 uptime. Great connection and performance.
We recently tried to update to 1.4.4 but all of our worlds wouldn't load so we had to downgrade back to 1.4.2. Sorry for an inconveince this may have caused. I'll be posting a guide on how to downgrade your clients in the original post.
I'd like to announce that we've changed the world border to 7.5k for anybody who doesn't know. We've done this because there have been almost 500 unique users who've joined since the servers opened and we need more space for new factions.
We plan on updating to 1.4.4 as soon as possible. We're just waiting for a solution to the worlds not loading right at the moment. Until then we'll be usign the 1.4.2 update.
Charlie is working on the capture the flag arena right now and it'll looking like it'll be a lot of fun. I'll upload some pictures when it's finished. Also I'm still talking with the host about the 1.4.4 switch and how we can get it working right. Thanks for waiting and there is a guide on how to downgrade your client until then.
Server is still up and running great! Come check it out!

Factions
The main plugin fueling the MineDream PvP server is Factions. This plugins allows you to team up with friends (or go solo if you wish) and create a Faction. Once you have created a Faction you can claim land and build yourself an empire - or a modest dirt hut if that is what you prefer! If you own the land, players from other factions cannot build/destroy there without using TNT cannons or creepers.
Faction Ranks
Leader - The owner of the faction. Has access to all commands (can only be one leader)
Officer - Second in command. Has the ability to claim and unclaim land for the faction and also set faction relationships. (can be many officers)
Member - Regular members without the ability to claim/unclaim or set relationships. (can be many members)
Commands
/f create (factionname) - If you want to create your own faction use this command, replacing (factionname) with the desired name of your faction.
/f claim radius] - This will claim the current chunk you are standing in for your faction, from bedrock to sky. Enter an optional radius to claim surrounding chunks too.
/f sethome - This command will set the home of the faction to where you are currently standing.
/f home - If you want to return to the faction home, use this command.
/f officer (name) - Promotes the given person to the rank of officer - Will demote them if they are an officer already.
/f disband - Will disband the faction, kicking all players and unclaiming all land.
/f (ally/truce/enemy/neutral) (factionname) - Will set the given relationship to the given faction.
mcMMO
Another core plugin on MineDream PvP is mcMMO. This plugin adds an RPG like experience to the server, and adds features such as trainable skills, parties and special abilities.
