So everyone seems to be in an uproar regarding BBF’s current state in Minecraft and I wanted to explain and express my visions of the future as well as set forth a game plan that we can lean on for future development.
As some of you know BBF is looking to launch and release a new line of servers that will be our most complete set of servers ever. Before launch date we will be undergoing extensive testing and we will ensure all resources are up to date before updating.

BBF has access to 10 servers and we plan to use each of these servers. The new set of servers will be released in two stages. The reason we will release in two stages is because the first stage of servers will be built on our spare servers while our current servers stay up and are playable. The second stage will be built on those servers that were being used during the first stage development.

As far as what type of server we will run and what might be on those server is still subject to change however this is the current game plan

1. Bungee Server
   • The Bungee server is used as a proxy this is how we can have 9 servers running different plugins and styles and still connect, chat, TP, and so on from server to server
2. Hub Server
   • The Hub will consist of 8 portals that will take you to each server and will also include a GUI (possibly the current compass setup) that will allow you to read rules, TP to other servers, as well as provide access to online resources (Donations, forums, help pages, and so on).
   • The hub will be a complete redesign of our current hub and our goals are to make it aesthetic, inviting, and easy to navigate.
3. Towny Server
   • Towny is BBF’s name sake for minecraft and we wouldn’t be BBF without Towny.
   • Towny has always been one of our favorite plugins and is the favorite of our guests.
   • This server will work much like the current one with the exception of a couple of different plugins
   • Freebuild will only be built if we (the clan) feels it is necessary
4. Factions Server (optional)
   • Factions is much like Towny however instead of creating a town you create a faction. Factions can claim land and the larger a faction gets the more land they can claim and only faction followers can build on faction land. Factions can also forge alliances and declare themselves enemies with other factions. Land may be taken from other factions through war.
   • Factiosn seems pretty cool and quite a few members have asked for it and not that we have the servers to do so let’s go for it.
   • This server will likely have loads of new plugins that work great with Factions.
   • Visit their plugin page here dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factions/
5. Skyblock Server
   • Skyblock has always been a favorite with BBF and I think we should continue the tradition. I will work hard at fixing the current issues we are having with Skyblock including the issues with the GUI.
   • I will also look into adding some additional plugins to make skyblock harder and funner.
6. Creative Server
   • This server will allow players to build anything they want with little to no restraints.
   • We may also let players purchase their building and have them transplanted into their server of choice. (may require donation)
7. Modded Server
   • Taken has been working on creating a nice custom server for us and as well as everything works the way it should we will be adding a modded server to the mix.
   • To join the modded server you will need to install all client mods as well as have a client running a lower version of minecraft.
8. And 9.
   • Servers 8 and 9 will be our “Game Servers”
   • These servers will host a number of gaming plugins such as
     • One in the Chamber
     • Spleef
     • Trouble In Terrorist Town
     • Paintball
     • Capture the Flag
     • Hunger Games
     • Tons more

Now you may ask what servers are going to come first? Well I don’t know to be honest with you it may all depend on when developers release new builds and when we can find the correct plugins to work with what we want to do.

Now when I say the servers will be 100% complete I mean the following

• Server permissions will be complete (some may need to be added here and there after bug testing)
• Voting sites as well as recruitment posts/threads on all sites will be updated and completed
• Information pages will be complete (Each server will have its own page describing its use and a brief description of how to use it etc.)
• Donations will be figured out and in place
• Server staff may be increased and staff members will be knowledgeable and should have access to most all aspects of the servers.
• Clanbbf.com minecraft threads will be cleaned and updated with current information
• Social media/Facebook and Twitter (to be created) accounts will be updated and monitored

As far as what plugins each server is running this is still yet to be decided.


Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed please send them to Kad, myself, or any other MC staff member and we will look at all of them.

Just as a side note for those who do not know.
I am currently working on a tool that was created for BBF and has now gotten over 550 downloads that lists every item in the game and sets its price based off the recipe of each item.

I have received a ton of feedback about this tool from other owners and I plan on using this as additional BBF outreach.

I am also looking into creating a plugin that will allow admins to type a command and easily access the buy price and sell price of each item. This will speed up the shop creation process and will allow users to easily find the price of an item for their own purposes.

I have already made the code for the tool to create a worth.yml file which is used in essentials. When used in essentials players can type /buy or /sell while holding and item and buy/sell it for the price set in the file. I am also working with another plugin that lists items in a file as well.

i like the ideas that u have. i really like the idea for a factions server me personally would play on that its like nation if im not wrong? and yea i do need a lot of learning to do to become more knowledgeable

Excellent Chase! As always, we are here for you and will support you with whatever you need.

I moved this from the officers forum so everyone can read and input now.

*insert expected Mr_DuCe response here*

What? No Tekkit server?

We will be having some sort of modded minecraft be it tekkit or our own mod pack.

Don't worry zodiac if I have the time I'll be assisting taken

I had an unfinished minecraft server using bungie. Not sure if it will work but I could give you the maps I have, (10 Portal Hub world, DayZ Map, and something else. I also have the plugins required for DayZ, but They might need to be updated. Please PM me back because I have been saving these maps because I dont need them. At least give them a Try. Thanks!!
