Just took a vast trip through the depths of reddit and stumbled upon something interesting. Is this still alive, if so where do I join?

Due to an issue with our website host, our redirect links are not working. For the mean time, please use an address of 192.227.136.58:25665 when trying to connect to the server. I have also updated the sidebar with this info.

Thanks!

Been trying to get on the last couple of days and can't seem to connect. Says it cannot connect to hostname. Anybody else having this issue?

Hello fellow crafters on the FreeHugs Minecraft Server, just wanted to update everyone of my new reddit account that I'll be using (formerly known as AllenEudy) which will be CountryArrow. All future videos and posts will come from this account from now on. That is all. Got to go plan Ep 5 for this week, talk to you guys later :D

Morning all! Now that a couple of you are regular on the server, I thought it was time we had a little competition! So I'm pleased to announce the first FreeHugs building competition!

Theme: Dirt Is Beautiful! - To start with, I'd like you folks to see what you can do to incorporate either dirt or grass into an attractive structure. I'm thinking stuff like replica hobbit holes or perhaps a nice landscaped garden somewhere in your area.

Prizes: For the best building, I've got a full set of diamond armour, complete with sword, with which you can celebrate victory! There will be a diamond pickaxe for every participant too.

Entering: Build something, post images or a video on here and then PM me to declare yourself "in"!

Deadline: The competition will close on August 31st, though if we've not had a entry by then, I'll extend it until somebody builds something. I eagerly await somebody lazily building a dirt wanger on September the 1st and running off with the loot.

Dirt is an under-rated material, so it's time to make some beautiful things with it! I'll be having a go myself, so I look forward to seeing what you guys can come up with!

Hello! I was just starting to make my first home/build and I got disconnected, and when I reconnected, my gold bars were gone :( I must have been holding them when I got kicked out. I don't really care if I get all of them back, I just wanted a gold shovel to claim some land. Thank you!

I logged in for the first time last night to get familiar with the area, walked around for like 45 minutes and I didn't see any community (public) farms like food wise. I have seen posts about people making public farms, but maybe i walked in the wrong direction. Some advice on locations would be helpful. Thanks

We've got a few of new players on the server, so let me take this chance to extend a FreeHugs welcome to:

• Scampsie
• Mr_Chill45
• Smartie1o14
• Zepheria
• CountryArrow

I hope to see you all online soon! If you see any of our newbies online be sure to give them a warm welcome!

These are the rules for the FHMC server, and generally follow those found elsewhere in the Free Hugs Gaming Network. The current rules are more or less identical to those which were found on what is now Huggercraft, but may be subject to future change.

1. No griefing

Intentional destruction or obstruction of a player's blocks is prohibited. Any deliberate interruption of a player’s enjoyment of the game is considered griefing. If you think you’ve been griefed, contact the moderation team.

2. No hate

Do not create offensive imagery within the server. Offensive language, with the intent of verbal harassment, including but not limited to racism, sexism, and bigotry will not be tolerated. Please contact the moderation team if you feel you have been harassed.

3. Don’t call out other players in game or within the subreddit.

If you have any issues within the server please contact the moderation team using the “message the moderators” button.

4. Do not use clients and or mods that give an unfair advantage over other players.

This includes but is not limited to x-ray, flying and hacked clients. nb: We do not mind the use of Rei's Minimap.

5. Links leading to offensive material are not permitted.

This includes links to ANY sexual material, death, violence and or harm. If you are found to be posting these links in private to another player or to main chat it will lead to a ban.

6. Whilst chatting on the server please remember to mind your manners, do not talk in CAPS constantly and to not go over the top with offensive words or something that would be annoying to other players, things like hashtags/yolo/swag. Overly offensive terms and words will be an instant ban without warning.

It is disruptive to other people on the server and mods/admins have the right to mute you if this is the case, you will be muted until a mod or admin sees fit to unmute you, if it continues after a mute you will be temp-banned for 3 days.

Violation of these rules will result in action taken by the moderation team. Possible actions include but are not limited to warnings, kicks, or bans.

With the spawn building more or less done, I'm wondering what sort of things you folks would like us to build, either in the immediate surroundings or further afield?

I'll get the ball rolling by saying that more paths leading away from spawn would be very welcome. I'm going to start preparing some stone brick slabs so that we can make some nice roads, but if anybody else wants to help that'd be great. The 512 block limit was lifted with the plugin updates, so you can build as far out as you wish now.

For those whose projects I had to move to accomodate the new spawn building, I'll happily help build paths to new areas for you to build a replacement, and lend a hand building it too - case in point, Takawave's birch farm.

I'd also like to work on an arena of sorts, where we can stage some battles. Of course, as a vanilla server we can fight anywhere, and I made the wilderness area (head east over the viaduct, then north from the town you reach) for just that reason, but a nice big stadium would be great, if only for show!

If we can get enough regulars again, I'll host a building competition next month (July). Until then, if you have any friends you think might fancy playing on the server, by all means invite them! :)

As we all may know, Mojang changed the way servers handle player names now. This has caused some issues with player permissions. If you're having issue, please comment below with your IGN (In Game Name), and give us a brief description of the problem.

Please bear in mind that some of these issues will require an active moderator or admin to be online at the same time you are for resolution.

Might just be me, but it seems that the new changing username feature is removing permissions to "interact" with anything. I changed mine last night, logged in this morning and I'm no longer showing up as a Citizen in chat and not allowed to interact with anything so I can't even leave my house.

I logged in today after an absence of a couple(few?) months. I logged in underground with all the gear I had before and was crushed to death.

I'm also no longer whitelisted, apparently.

I think I recognize a lot of the geography, and I logged in with all my old gear (before I got smushed) so it looks like the same world... is it?

Also, can I get a rewhitelist when you can? I've sent in an another application.

EDIT: Maybe I mistook the newbie starter gear for gear that I had previously had on me... as I was panicing as I died I didnt have time to check.

Sorry, had this all posted before, and accidentally deleted it, apparently.

The server is currently up. There ARE bugs, but should be nothing game breaking. I didn't want to keep it down over night, but I've gotta get some sleep, I've been at it for several hours.

Dynmap is available on the link in the sidebar. I've already started to render out all known chunks. The World Border is currently set at 512 blocks from spawn, but will be expanded in short time. Grief Prevention has been installed, info is available on our subreddit wiki - direct link for the lazy.

We will be providing additional claim blocks, and I will get that sorted in the coming days.

There are several config files that I'm still working on, that I hope will remove some of the bugs. Some of your redstone might not be working properly, but I hope to have a fix to that in the next couple of days. As the night wore on, I admittedly went with the quick and dirty version to get the server back up and not keep you guys from playing. The good news is that going forward, as I continue to work out configs and bugs, we shouldn't need to have the server down for any other extended periods, however, restarts may be needed to reload configs.

Please feel free to ask any questions here on this thread, or in modmail.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we try to move forward with the server, and I promise not to drag this process out any more than necessary.
