Minecraft Survival Servers

Reminder to all:

When we created the controversial topics section, it was specifically to allow players to discuss certain topics (previously banned completely)in a manner that had controlled access. Players would then be able to request not seeing these topics if they wished, and Staff would be able to restrict access to players that have shown a lack of being able to handle these topics and controversial views appropriately.

Recently, the controversial issues have not remained in their intended area and have migrated to an uncontrolled access point: player status posts. This prevents staff from being able to restrict access as needed, and is why this post is being created. This is a reminder about a rule that will be enforced more going forward.

Hey everyone,

Are you a fantastical floor fanatic, a bridge beautician, and/or a prolific (block) position-er? Well, we've got a discussion for you!

Now that the outposts are updated and we have Anti-grief in place, it's time to say goodbye to the bedrock bridges of old (on select SMPs) and replace them with a survival block/design that doesn't look quite so 2015.

Here's where you all come in and where the discussion begins.
What SURVIVAL block should replace existing bedrock bridges?

Note: We also plan to clean up the surrounding areas off the spawn areas at the same time, to help our environmental effort paperwork rebate and support the discovery and enhancement of the frontier lifestyle. (jk on the first part about rebates, if you couldn't tell)

In this post, zervados opens our eyes to the wonder and use of the stone slab in Minecraft. From stunning build examples to informative snippets, this article is the ultimate dedication to zervados's favorite block: the stone slab!

Congratulations to our April 2018 Member of the Month: ShelLuser!

ShelLuser has always had a strong presence on the forums ever since they discovered them. With their numerous player guides, entertaining contributions to the 'That moment when...' thread, as well as their prolific narrations, ShelLuser is always ready and on the scene with responses that not only answer the question/topic at hand, but also encourage active thought for the readers. In the month of April especially, ShelLuser's posts have excelled at being informative and critical when necessary, but retain the important bases of respect and perspective. It is crucial in any online community where being swept up in the negative and never trying to see through another member's viewpoint can sometimes be the norm, and we commend ShelLuser on their efforts to go above and beyond to 'walk in another's shoes' this month.

Congrats again!

Today, we at Empire Minecraft were made aware of a link being sent containing a list of some (not all) EMC players’ email addresses. First off, rest assured that no password data was leaked in any manner from Empire Minecraft’s server, not even password hashes. After reviewing the document, the source of this information comes from the Dec 1st, 2015 incident where a Senior Staff member’s account was compromised.

The notice to the community regarding this incident was made at the same time and is linked below:
https://empireminecraft.com/threads/site-problems-12-01-2015.59708/

Unfortunately, at the time and due to the significance and focus put towards the restoration of the forums and deleted accounts, our investigation into the incident did not raise any red flags that the person responsible would have saved any email addresses. We apologize for overlooking this crucial matter at the time and only hope to have caught it sooner. However, as we cannot change the past, we can only do what’s best in the present day, and that is updating our community on the information that we now have. Thankfully, we still have the logs to indicate what was accessed, and after a detailed and more thorough investigation, we have the ability to alert and notify those affected, as well as all of our Empire Minecraft members.
