FAQ

Can I have ops/creative?

No, but we do have a creative world. /queue creative.

How do I set a home?

/home set <homename> You can set up to 5 homes.

How do I protect my region?

/ticket create <all the details needed for its completion> Mark the corners in a square region around the land you want claimed. Remember, those in charge of reading these /tickets will simply delete them if they do not explain things specifically.

Is it okay to be racist, sexist, or any other kind of bigot on the server?

Of course not, this server abides by the same rules as polite company.

What are your policies on language / age inappropriate content?

It's very circumstantial, in the proper context some language is tolerated, but language for languages sake will not be tolerated. Please keep non-platonic content private.

I only speak english, can I yell at people who speak a foreign language because I don't understand it?

No. Read the question about being a bigot.. We do ask that people try to keep global chat in english where possible, for moderation purposes, but feel free to use /l for local chats.

I need help from a Moderator, but none are online. What should I do?

On the rare occasion no staff are online, you can use the following command in game to open a ticket: /ticket create <msg>. A moderator will see your message the next time they log on. Use this for region requests, to report griefing, harrassment, cheating, etc.

Is LAAAAGGG!!! the appropriate way to let us know you're experiencing lag?

Absolutely not, it does nothing but frustrates the higher ups. Every server is plagued with issues from time to time, and the best was to handle it is to politely state the issue. (Block lag? Warping Lag? Loading Lag?) Try /tps to see if maybe it is YOU who lags.

Can I have free stuff?

No. Unless you can type, then do /kit.

Is there a way to get to my favorite destinations besides setting my home there?

As luck would have it, yes! /warp 12spawn to see a list of interesting old wxt_ warps! You can also use Runecraft to create waypoints and other methods of travel.

How do I use a stargate?

You don't anymore, but you can warp to them with /warp wxt_<gatename>

How do I get a different colour rank?

See Ranks page. See Donating page.

How do I get rank in Discord?

/discord link (in the ingame SMP chat) to link your Minecraft and Discord accounts

Can I join the server using a cracked client/hacked client/Bedrock edition?

To join the server you will need a premium Minecraft Java Edition account. Using hacks are against the rules and are therefore punishable with a ban. But, texture packs, shaders, and mini-maps are all fine. If you are unsure if a mod you are using is allowed, then ask a staff member.

Why can't I join / when will the server accept new players?

The server is currently whitelisted so new players are unable to join. Keep an eye on the announcements channel in our Discord.

Who runs this server?

Rbos. Mostly Rbos.

Do the admins/mods like to be bothered by everyone when they sign on?

No, they have been running a server for longer than most of us have played the game. Trust me, if they want to talk to you/join your city, they'll let you know.

Will the LagBeast punish the souls of those who do not follow the rules of the server?

Yes.

If I go on a hike and am forced to drink unfiltered/untreated water, will I have the most painful diarrhea I've ever experienced?

Yes. Giardia Lamblia is a bitch.

Is Novylen the oldest Minecraft server? Do you have proof? We are "one of the oldest Minecraft servers, that we know of, that speaks English". The server went online the day of the release of Minecraft Multiplayer, hosting rbos' infdev single-player world [1][2]. We also host a creative map with builds copied over from rbos' old Minecraft Classic server[3].
