Minr.org - Minecraft's oldest and best parkour, puzzle, maze and adventure server.

Hey everyone! TheHeggzer here. It's event time!

The eggs are on the prowl again! They've gone and scattered themselves all across Zero, and it's your job to go find them again!

So, how will this event work?
Well, for this version of the Egghunt, there will be 2 distinct parts!

Part 1: The Open World Egg Hunt!
Starting Monday, April 13th at 2pm EST, an lovely medieval and fantastical open world built by the magically talented chayos will open, chocked full of all the eggs you could possibly desire! You job will be to collect them all! There will be no reward for finding all of the eggs in the open world first, so explore and hunt at your own leisure! For finding 10% of the eggs, you will receive a nifty...

Friday, the 20th of December, the server will go down for max. 2 hours during maintenance. During this maintenance, the following will be completed:

• 1.15.1 Update.
• Update to Minr Scripts (update notes will follow in the subforum and briefly in a post when the update is live)
• Associated bugfixes & minor additions (will be detailed in update post / wiki (see https://wiki.minr.org/Updates))

Do note that the days after this update things can/will break, and please report those as soon as you can on the forums.
We expect the update to 1.15 to go rather smoothly, as the update is minor compared to those to 1.13 and 1.14.

Hopefully, 1.15's performance will be a little better, we noticed that there's been a significant performance decrease due to 1.14, but there's little we can do about that, except stay up-to-date and keep catching all performance improvements Mojang (hopefully) performs.

Time of maintenance:

• 1 PM GMT
• 3 PM CET
• 6 AM PST...

9 years on and we are still here.

From simple wooden paths, cobblestone mazes and stone parkour we have progressed into something quite wonderful. Personalised creations of epic proportions in Minr have never been so evident, The community has surpassed all expectations, when will you simply run out of ideas?
From a dream of a simple challenge server, Zero has truly exploded into a one of a kind community and you have yourselves to thank for that.

This past year has flown by and it feels like only months ago I was writing our 8th Birthday announcment. With your unconditional contributions to the server you have made zero your home in Minecraft, we will continue to work hard at ensuring those creations are available for all for years to come.

If you are a newcomer to our server, spend a little time getting to know the community you'll soon see why our little community is so highly regarded. Without our community zero would have perished long ago, you keep the dream alive. 9...

Welcome back to our yearly map competitions!
This is me, your lovely host, presenting you with:

MINR's 2019 Co-Op Map Building Competition!

This year's theme, as voted by you is co-op maps: maps that require at least two people to complete.

For the full definition, I will once again quote yeroc (or, now, the wiki):

Co-op maps are a sub-type. Co-op maps are designed specifically for two or more people. The challenge may require you to work with another person to beat it, or it may pit you up against the other person.

Just like the last few competitions, you can build anywhere you want.

Here are the rules. Please read these carefully, as the rules are not entirely the same as the last competition.

1. Everyone Green+ is allowed to enter, however judges who enter will not be eligible for prizes.
2. You can enter as many maps as you want. The more...

We are currently gearing up towards implementing a new version of Hardcore. We are tentatively scheduling the turnover for some time this weekend, though it may be later than that. I will update the thread and title once a time has been decided on.

This hardcore version aims to diversify and extend the Hardcore experience. It will feature 13 maps, and paths designed to make players confront all challenge types but still choose their own strengths. This version of HC will be more balanced between parkour, maze, puzzle and adventure maps.

You may take the Path of Athleticism, which has slightly easier mazes, but harder parkour. You may take the Path of Wandering, which has easier parkour, but slightly harder mazes. You may also take the Path of Tinkering, which features less parkour and maze, but more puzzle. All paths will confront you with all challenge types.

if you wish to change paths, you may take the Loopback map, Pandemonium.

Your HC position should automatically...

The Purple Comet is back, and with it comes the brand-spanking new set of Purple Coins! Under the comet's corrupting influence, precious Purple Coins have been scattered across the land. Following the annual tradition, a crowd has gathered to compete to see who can collect the most! Speed is essential, especially given the recent scout reports of airships in the area.

This year, Team Prism challenges two-time champions Team Crimson in the race for the coins!

What is the Purple Comet Event?

The Purple Comet event is an annual high octane intense competition between two teams that takes place all over Zero. The teams search maps in attempts to find elusive Purple Coins hidden throughout them. It tests your skill and knowledge of maps, but is still accessible for people of all skill levels.

What are Purple...

On Sunday, August 4th at 8 AM EST (Noon UTC), the server will go down for a period of extended maintenance. This is expected to last for approximately 4-5 hours. During this time, I will be migrating the server to new hardware that should mitigate some of the resource problems that were introduced in 1.14. The new hardware includes a stronger processor (both individual core and multi-core performance are stronger), and additional RAM. The server will continue be hosted out of a similar location to where it currently is. Tests on the new hardware showed improvements for world switching, server ticks "TPS", and overall higher responsiveness compared to existing hardware.

It's almost time to cuddle with pandas and foxes!

July 22nd, the server will go down for a short period of time during maintenance.
During this maintenance the server will be updated to the Minecraft 1.14 Update.

During the maintenance, the following will be done:

• Update the server to 1.14, which includes:
  • Full relighting of Zero, Theta and Delta.
  • Updating of plugins.

Do note that come weeks after this update the server is likely to be performing worse than normal, and shortcuts previously not possible may appear, so please help out and report issues and shortcuts as soon as possible to the forums. The community and staff has taken measures to combat these as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee we caught everything.

Estimated start time of maintenance: Maintenance completed!

I would like to thank everyone who helped find shortcuts and breakages on the test server. Thanks for the efforts!
