D3 is a creative mode custom server originally coded by Dadido3, latest versions are coded by Umby24. The main engine is written in Purebasic and most of the commands are written in Lua Scripts. It is very modular.

Current Version: 1.011

Publicly Released Version: 1.011

Note: The newest versions of the server can be found at a separate website, and support is provided through IRC. You can find the link to this website at the bottom of this page.

Initial Setup of v0.896[edit | edit source]

  1. Extract the contents of the D3_Server_0896.zip into a new folder on your hard drive.
  2. You will have 5 folders [Data, Heartbeat, Documentation, Lua, ZLib], 3 .exe files [Autostart, Minecraft-Server, Running_Time.exe], Lua5.1.dll, Lua5.1.lib, and Autostart.txt.
  3. To begin setting up your server name and MOTD head to the Data folder and open System.txt,changing them to your liking. Once done save the file.
  4. To change what port the server is run on, head back to the Data folder and open Network.txt. Port 25565 is the default but you may change it, noting to save if you change the port.
  5. To change whether your server is public or private, return to the directory where you keep the files and into the Heartbeat folder. Open Settings.txt from there to configure the public settings:
    • Public = 0 (private), 1 (public)
    • Version = 7
    • Console = 0
  6. Next, starting the server. Return to the directory where you keep the files and start either Minecraft-server.exe or Autostart.exe. Autostart.exe will restart the server if it crashes while Minecraft-server.exe will not. You may get a popup from your firewall or AV, allow it. When you first startup the server, it will generate two new folders - Maps, which hold your servers maps, and Temp. To get your server's url head into the heartbeat folder and open externalurl.txt. You should now join your server.
  7. Upon first joining the server, you will be ranked guest. To make yourself owner head to the Data folder where you keep the D3 files and open Playerlist.txt, Dadido3 will have Player Id: 0, and you should have Player Id: 1. Make sure to first shut down the server, then scroll to your name and change the following: Rank = 255 (32767 is the max). Start the server up again and rejoin, and you will now be the rank you set.

Ranks[edit | edit source]

Ranks on D3 servers are assigned with points. A player's rank can vary from -32768 to 32767. Ranks vary from D3 server to D3 server but generally follow this structure.

Frozen[edit | edit source]

Lowest possible rank (-32768). Players ranked at this number are unable to connect to the server at all after leaving.

Griefer[edit | edit source]

Players who have griefed or continuously broken the rules (-1 to -32767). Unable to join most other maps or use any commands.

Guest[edit | edit source]

Players who are new to the server. Can use a few commands and materials but are usually confined to the guest area/map.

Builder[edit | edit source]

A player who has shown interest in the server and is able to enter most of the server's maps and able to build in the main build maps.

Trusted Builder[edit | edit source]

Players who have shown a bit of build skill and dedication to the server. Unlocks various new build modes: box, hbox, sphere, hsphere, line, etc.

Architect[edit | edit source]

Exemplary builders who have spent a fair amount of time on the server. Are able to use various new materials: kill materials, fans, doors, etc.

Half-Op/Supervisor[edit | edit source]

Players who have shown potential as a staff member are tested at this rank. Able to stop players, and are given a light responsibility to be extra vigilant and helpful towards new players to the server.

Operator[edit | edit source]

Operators are given the responsibility to watch new players, manage the lower ranks and promotions, and help keep order in the server. Are able to mute, kick, and ban at this rank.

Admin[edit | edit source]

Admins manage OPs and keeps the server grief-free. Have earned the trust of the server owners and are able to copy/paste, and undo players' block actions.

Head Admin-Co-Owner[edit | edit source]

Players who are appointed directly by the server owner. These players must upkeep the server and keep it in good condition. Are able to edit maps around these ranks and access to most or all commands.

Game Modes[edit | edit source]

Fallout[edit | edit source]

File:D3Fallout.png
Two people playing a game of Fallout.

Fallout is the newest game mode to be introduced on D3 servers. Its played on an arena with 2*2 yellow squares divided by lines of glass in a square lattice design. Fallout is best described as an 'automated spleef'. Two or more players enter an arena and a countdown is started. After the countdown, the 2*2 yellow squares turn orange, then red, then disappear while also deleting adjacent glass blocks.

The objective of fallout is simply to stay on the arena for as long as one can. If a player falls into the bottom pit, they will be transported to the glass roof, their time will be displayed in seconds of how long they were able to survive, and they will be unable to rejoin until the game is ended. The last person in the arena is declared the winner and the arena resets for a new game to be played.

Cannon War[edit | edit source]

File:D3Cannon.png
An example of a cannon apparatus.

Cannon War is a game played with cannons and occasionally flamethrowers. Cannons are operated by standing on the TNT of a cannon and clicking the glass. The cannon will follow your head position so will be able to turn around and shoot a cannonball where you clicked the glass. The cannonballs from cannons create an approximate 5*5 hole and will 'kill' a player if they are hit by it.

Two teams of red and blue are setup and a map is newly generated or a player-made submitted map is loaded up. The two teams prepare themselves by activating the cannons and a moderator or admin begins a countdown. When the game is started the two teams fire at each other until the game is ended and a winning team is declared. The criteria to select the winning team is either if one team is unable to fire back any more cannons due to them being all destroyed or which teams' base is less destroyed.

Cannon War can also be played as a free-for-all game where players simply shoot each other and have the satisfaction of simply blasting their friends away with a cannon.

Spleef[edit | edit source]

Spleef on D3 servers is able to be played differently than on other servers. With the ability to mapexport and mapimport, players are able to submit their own spleef maps to be played later. Some example submittions have included a laptop, farm, castle, and town square. Also thanks to the physics of sand and gravel, they can be frozen and activated again. This allows for sand and gravel traps hidden in the arenas. Lastly with the ability of dying on D3 servers, players are able to more easily keep track of who is spleefing and who has been spleefed.
