MelonLand Minecraft Server

[Bone-A Lisa]

Ive been playing on a Minecraft server with my friends again recently, and remembered that this forum has a server, so I thought I'd check it out. I didnt play on it much yet, mainly just perusing around. Its so cute yall omg! I like all the community farms, chests, and shops and whatnot. I was just walking around the spawn area and there are so many cute little builds. At some point I might stake a claim to a spot and contribute 

It blew my mind though that this server has only been around for a few years, it feels like a server that could be a decade old. That might just be my nostalgia for 1.15 minecraft though lol.

I just joined the server for the first time, and I love everyone's builds! Spawn looks really cool. Do people often play on the server/have server events?

Also, I wanted to share my pain. I was strip mining, looking for iron, but I found diamonds first    I marked down the coords, hopefully they'll still be there when I get an iron pick

i've played around the server for a bit, it's very cozy! do people still gather on saturdays at @959? in any case, if anyone wants to play with me, feel free to message me

very nostalgic for the old versions of minecraft, if i haven't played it a lot in the past, haha

Are you using the recommended mods? If so, I experienced some problems launching the game at first but was able to do so after I disabled LumySkinPatch.

Feel free to message me further if that does not help :)

so far i've made an ocean base - i only just joined like, a little over an hour ago now (so i think around maybe @120 beats ago? if i've got that right)
i just wanna ask if it's okay to chop down the trees on the main island - i don't see a fence around them, and i've been replacing them with saplings anyways! but they're near spawn... :P

also funny that with the Minecraft version
it's reallyy nostalgic for me, especially cuz i first played Pocket Edition Alpha in late 2013, i think it was 0.8.X or something?
anyways, i was really into it especially in 2014, even my mum knows that lmao (;^_^)
and i only got console and Java Edition in 2017, i had PS4 Edition and Java Edition 1.12; plus i remembered older Minecraft on YouTube, especially the mod reviews and all that

i wanna ask about Optifine for the server.

Optifine in general has been a pain for any version below 1.7.10 from my own experience anyways and 1.5.2 is no different...
it's not showing in the game, and i don't have a weird "install to launcher" or whatever thing.

i got the zip file from the link on the official page, but it's still not showing up?
really weird

Thats strange! I've followed our wiki guide on like 5 different computers from modern macs, to old macs to windows 10 computer and windows 7 computers and a steam deck - its worked flawlessly on all of them minus occasionally needing to select an older Forge version

I'm not sure what the "install to launcher" thing you're looking for is! You just add the zip using "Add to Minecraft jar" in Prism when you edit the details of your 1.5.2 install.

It should be roughly like this:

huh. weird.

looking at Reddit it seems i needed to copy the 1.5.2 jar from /%appdata%/.minecraft/versions/ (though i'm on MX Linux, a Debian-based distro) and... well yeah, i'm using Prism Launcher, so i'm having trouble finding that.

yea i'm using MX Linux and Prism Launcher.
not even putting it into the Core Mods or just the other Mods section works.

edit: oh it seems i've definitely mistaken it lmao
but thanks for the screenshot especially! really helpful!

If you are logged in using a MS account prism should just download and install 1.5.2 for you, all the mods are done in Prism, so you should not need to go near any files on your system. If you don't have an MS account though I think you do need to get the game manually and Im less sure how you import it into Prism if thats whats causing confusion.

i hadnt fully read through it and didnt know there were mods

thanks for letting me know abt that, i'll b sure 2 try again :D

[cynderthekitsune]

i have a bit of a suggestion!

could you add the mod Customizable Player Models?
it goes into the Core Mods folder since it's a JAR file.

it allows people to change their models - like mine, which basically just added a second skin layer and gave me the slim arms, which is only natively possible in 1.8.X onwards, i think. and i also got myself a cute witch hat! 

it's just a mod that changes your appearance. i don't think it's mandatory for everyone, but it's good for those with it already installed.

Hey guys I was wondering,
Is the minecraft server dead or do people still hop on sometimes?                 

[cynderthekitsune]

there's people who play it, i usually play on it a bit. but it's not bustling with people 24/7, it's more quiet.

sometimes there might be two people on if you're lucky, but usually it's just one person 
i find it nice but maybe it's not for everyone :P

[Melooon]

My goal with the server is to treat it like a very long term single player world that happens to change a little bit as other people come and go ~ its not intended to be a social space since we already have that covered by the forum 

(alssooo it will actually crash if more than 3 people play it at once because I cheap'd out on the RAM  )
