PS - Custom Monster Loot

The previous Patreon post from me was a poll about SHO features you guys might want to see in future Super Hostile maps.  Absent from the features in the poll was Custom Monster Drops.

That's because I love having custom monster drops and will tailor them to each new SH map.  Just thought I should make a note that I didn't forget the feature, it's just already in.  :)

I love how Adventure Mode is at 0% right now.  Even if it was very high I'd probably ignore it.  ...

Poll: What SHO features would you want to see in SH maps?

Vote now! :)

Single Player SH Maps

Hey guys!  I just wanted to direct your attention to this forum thread about single player Super Hostile maps, to give a place for my thoughts, and to have your input as well.

http://superhostile.net/forums/topic/what-ever-happened-to-a-new-sp-map/#post-4293

The TLDR is: Two singleplayer Super Hostile maps are in the works, scheduled for release in 2017 as early as possib...

SHO News

Hey guys!  Vechs here.  I am still working on the new and improved SHO.  I am hoping to have it done in time for your Christmas vacations.

In the meantime, I wanted to pass along this news from the mod team regarding the End of the World SHO party:

"I am pleased to announce that on November 19th the end Events for SHO will be taking place! The first event Rise From the Sands will take place at 8 a.m. EST. The second event Assault on the Golden jungle will take place at 1...

Feedback wanted!

Hey awesome people <3

I am working on SHO housing areas based on Super Hostile maps, and a lot of areas featured are older, with more limited block palettes.  So here's my impasse, that I want your vote on...

Do I keep the classic looks for these areas?  Do I use the blocks used in the original maps, or do I change them and use new blocks to decorate with?

While the areas may look nicer, it may also kill your nostalgia vibe...

What do you think?

Vote on the future of SHO!

Hey guys, Vechs here!

First, thank you guys so much for teaching me and giving me an opportunity to learn so much about running a multiplayer server, and not just that, but one with a totally custom Minecraft experience.   I feel like I could write a book on command block operations now.

Anyway!

I have big plans for new content for SHO, but I feel like the game experience  might be even better if the server is reset to a pristine launch condition.

This woul...

SuperHostile.NET is Live!

Professional website milestone achieved!

Hey guys!   SuperHostile.net is live!  This website is your one-stop source for all things Vechs and all things Super Hostile.   No longer will we need to depend on other websites for our community!  :)

The website has just launched, so there may be the occasional kink to work out, but I think its beautiful and working pretty well so far.  Over the coming month, we'll be polishing the site and finalizing the ...

Changes to billing for new Patrons

Hey guys, Vechs here!

Existing Patrons can disregard this message, as it has no effect on you, unless  you change your reward tier.

At the beginning of August, I will be switching to a new billing method that Patreon has just introduced.   Patrons will be charged up front when they sign up, and then will be billed every month normally.

This method is a much better fit for my 5 dollar tier of Patron reward, which is access to my gaming server, which curren...

Just saying thank you <3 (also vanilla server coming soon)

Hi guys, Vechs here!  I just want to thank you all for supporting me.   This Patreon project has been far more successful than I ever could have imagined-- just today, I had another 28 people sign up to be whitelisted on SHO!

As most of you know, I have been sick pretty bad these past few weeks.   I actually got sick, was starting to get over it, then got something else.   Just plain unlucky.    But I am fine now and have resumed work on Yo...

Server Upgrade Update

Hey guys.   I am currently shopping around at various companies to massively upgrade the hardware specs on the SHO server.   This is my current top priority.   I've been on the phone today with a few companies, and I have open tickets in with a few more asking about various things.

I think you guys deserve the best server I can find.

Twitch Streaming is coming... soon(TM).

Hey guys!   Vechs here!

Wow!  I am just blown away.    I never expected to hit some of my upper milestone so quickly.   I gained over 500 dollars in patronage in just one day!

I was very surprised by that,  so give me a bit of time to get streaming set up --- while it seems simple, there is actually a long list of things I have to do for it to be ready to go live.

I think going forward, when I hit a milestone goal, give me on...

Just an update :)

Hey guys!  I wanted to let you know that my primary focus is 50/50 between YouTube and building and launching SHO for you guys.

The website is lower down on my priority list since Super Hostile map downloads currently have a nice home on the MindcrackLP domain, and I'm honestly not sure what I'd put on my website other than map downloads at the moment.

I believe that the vast majority of you want to see me focused on YouTube and mapping, although I do have a website person l...

Building SHO Episode 01 Planning and Layout Phase

Updating server to 16w07a

Hey guys!  Excellent news!  Mojang has fixed the lag issues!  I am updating the server now.  I look forward to a much more pleasant experience when the player count gets higher.

Fixed:

MC-94438 – Massive lag in any snapshots post-15w47c.

Server is back up!

Hey guys, the server is back up.  I have to thank CreeperHost for working non-stop to get things fixed and restored.

Everything is fine on the server, and it is using the latest snapshot.

Well, most things are fine.   Some gamerules seems to have changed, and it looks like some naughty arachnids have messed with the underground.  Strange stuff is going on....

Patron Server Offline Until They Sort This Out

Sorry for the inconvenience guys.  My heart goes out to the people at CreeperHost, the employees I have dealt with at their company have all been super nice to me, and this is a scumbag thing to do, not only to CH but also to all the people who love playing games online with their friends.

A Note About Patreon and Privacy

Hey guys -- just wanted to remind everyone that you can make your name on Patreon any type of nickname you want, and you only need your real name in the billing information which is obviously very private.

Your profile name on Patreon is visible to anyone in the world, so if you don't want your real name out there, try a nickname instead.  :)

Some people don't mind using their name online, others do, but I just wanted to point out for those that do, it isn't a requiremen...

Sharing this with my Patrons before the public just because :)

Love you guys <3

Server coming soon!

Hey guys!  I have decided to go with Creeperhost for a server, and they are getting it setup "as soon as they can".    It will be their best VDS with 8 GB of RAM and running off an SSD.

So we will have a pretty sweet setup to play on :)

As soon as Creeperhost gets it running I will launch a 1.8 vanilla world as a temporary thing while we wait on 1.9 and the plugins for 1.9 (this is an important thing we have to have).  I will also make a 1.9 custom world ...

Direction of Patron Server
