About RedStone Labs
What is Minecraft?
Minecraft is a totally awesome 3D game where you can place blocks of – well, just about
anything, really. At night monsters come out. You can buy it from minecraft.net
if you haven't already.
So I'm playing with others?
Yep, that's right! It means we're all playing on the same map, we can interact (trading,
working together, fighting, etc). The Minepaedia
has tons of info about stuff like this.
So, what's it like? What's going on?
It's friendly, usually. Also, we really like the stuff you make and will try to protect it, so build with some
assurance that it'll be there when you get back. We also have other servers, check out the Worlds page.
Think of it is Civilized Survival Mode. There's a variety of projects going on, sometimes we
have special maps such as SkyBlock.
We also sometimes have a few Adventure maps that you and a couple of friends can play on. These maps are not
your standard Minecraft. There is usually a puzzle to solve, battles to be won, or specific tasks to complete.
As for the survival world, it's mostly empty as this point, so that means
there is a clean slate to start just about wherever you like.
Whichever world you play, you are always welcome to make any of those your own. Build a farm
for animals or crops, or create a Roman aquaduct, or start an enchanted armor shop to sell to other players.
Also, watch out for monsters!
How do I play?
Join our server! Buy Minecraft, then run it. When it opens, click on Multiplayer, then punch
in the server address <worldname>.redstonelabs.net, and hit Connect. You're in!
Where in the world am I?
If you joined Survival, you should be near the Welcome Center. There is
some gear and food if you need it, beds on the top floor, materials in the bsaement, and a farm where you can
breed animals and chop trees.
If you want a more filled in world, try Drehmal: PRIMΩRDIAL.
Snapshot is for checking out the future of Minecraft.
What should I do?
Well, anything, really. We have a nightly-updated 3D map for each world on this website so you
can pick a nice place to make your home. Harvest a few trees, build a boat, and set sail for a new place! Or ask
someone if they have a town or a spare room you can stay in.
Can I be OP? Can I get Creative Mode?
No, and no. OPs are picked by trust, and creative mode on survival and adventure maps are not allowed for
non-OPs. Except in special circumstances, if an OP uses it to fix damage or something.
We don't currenty have a creative mode server. If you want to get creative, then start a
single player game for now.
How did we start? Origins story please!
No idea. Someone in ISLUG started a server back on Inconnu and it couldn't handle the load
anymore, so we moved to Redstone Labs.
What about plugins and mods?
Server-side? None. We use the vanilla Minecraft server so no mods run on the server-side.
Client side? Use whatever you want. As long as it doesn't require a server-side mod then you can use it.
What if the world explodes or wrecks my beautiful creation?
We make incremental backups every hour and they are kept for 30 days. If your project is
destroyed (griefed) by anyone, we can revert
the world. This also means others will have to start from the last backup.

Just follow the rules and you will be alright
