I used to have a Bukkit server, a few of my friends and I played survival together on it.
I eventually shut it down because of the 1.1 Update. (Tired of reupdating things)
I have a server i can easily put back up, If you have a link to a map (or just wanna play survival) let me know & maybe we can 'craft together.
Maybe a little contest, where it's on hardcore difficulty and it is a little contest to try and get as much stuff before you die (pvp off) idk if there is a way for there to be a plugin where you select which chest is yours, and it logs what is in the chests and your inventory when you die
yea, it would last a while but it could be fun because of the whole no dying or you can't get back on thing or you can get back on but as a rank with absolutely no permissions
or just a vanilla smp server could be quite fun (with worldguard free protections to prevent griefers)
