Novylen
Novylen is a Survival Multiplayer Minecraft Server with a small player cap. Novylen has been running continuously since August 4 2010 10:12:39 PDT with no full-map resets. Before that date, the map was the server owner's single-player world.
Novylen is running a series of server Plugins, and also has a Creative world. In the past, Novylen has also run Minigames, Skyblock, PVP, and unmodified Vanilla worlds. You can connect to Novylen with a Minecraft Java Edition client at mc.novylen.net. Before joining, please take the time to familiarise yourself with our Code of Conduct.
Recent Updates
December 2022 - Please see Discord for a full summary of recent changes. From now on, 'recent updates' will be detailed in the server Discord channel (see below), #Announcements
August 2022 - Novylen is now running version 1.19.2 with ViaVersion, and the option to join with NoChatReport. Travel to /warp new for new worldgen.
With the update to 1.19, we have made some changes to server plugins: infiniteannoucements, ChestSort and DualWield have all been disabled, and several changes have been made to Runecraft (thank you to the Runecraft development team for giving us access to their latest deveopment version). To manage latency issues, we have also made various changes to redstone and tile entity gamerules. There have also been various tweaks to our policy around shops - in-particular, the cobblestone adminshop at Spawn has been replaced with a limited supply player-head chestshop.
May 2022 - Novylen has had a few updates over the last few months: The server is now running on 1.18.2 with a new spawn (/warp 14spawn) and mall (/warp rvsc). Some new plugins have been added to the server: CourierNew, DualWield, VillagerTradeLimiter, YourHeadShop. The server currency has been moved from Amethyst to Pence (fiat currency), and you can make Pence by selling cobblestone, deepslate and/or netherrack to the 'admin shop' at rvsc. Some Runecraft features have been disabled to prevent trolling (eg. Sheild Rune). The Keepinventory Gamerule has been enabled in the End for similar reasons.
Regarding Server Events, we have hosted a party at 14spawn to celebrate the 1.18 Update, and two Map Art Challenges (please see the Discord server, linked below for more information). Some other seecret changes as well.
February 2022 - Update: We are no longer using a whitelist.
December 15 2021 - Update: Effective immediately, we will be whitelisting an additional 153 players who have logged 1+hr(s) on the server between the SMP and Creative worlds. To find out if you make this cut-off, please check here. We will be having an additional intake in the future, where any player who has logged onto the server at any point will be added to the whitelist. We do not currently have a timeframe for when this will be. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask a moderator - however, please refrain from: (1) asking to be added to the whitelist, (2) complaining about the decision to staff, (3) pestering the administrators. Thank you.
December 10 2021 - Due to high interest in the server, we have imposed a temporary whitelist. We have also temporarily paused donations. Anybody with 3+ hours of playtime across the Creative and SMP worlds may join the server. In total, 20 players may connect to the SMP world, 10 players may connect to the Creative world, and 20 more players may queue in the lobby. Existing donators may bypass these player caps. The AFK timeout has been increased to 10 Minutes.
We are likely to reconsider this decision in the near future. This decision was made to reduce strain on the small team of volunteer moderators and administrators in light of renewed interest in the Server. We kindly request that you respect this choice and refrain from messaging the server staff about it. Thank you.
Earlier - The server has been updated to 1.17.1. We are waiting on new hardware, and some plugin updates, before proceeding to 1.18. 1.18 clients can join the game, but not access any 1.18-exclusive mechanics. The new /spawn is 13spawn. The 1.18 temp-map has been taken down due to lack of demand.
Even Earlier - Novylen now has a Discord. You can join at https://discord.gg/z7XkG83g. You can link your in-game Minecraft account with your Discord account by typing '/discord link' in game. Before joining, please take the time to read through the discord Rules. The old forums have been locked, but are still viewable at this page.
