Minecraft

Welcome to the Groton Public Library Minecraft page! You will find our rules and some useful tips below. The Library has Minecraft installed on computers 2-5 for use during public hours, and on all computers for use during special programs. No account? No problem- the library has a few different accounts you can use free of charge!

To access our server

Simple select ‘Multiplayer’ after logging into Minecraft on one of the Library computers- The Groton Public Library Server should show right up! Just click it, then hit join.

Rules

No killing other players
No stealing items from other players or their chests
No destroying structures built by other players
Do not enter areas that have ‘No Trespassing’ signs posted
No griefing or trolling (in other words, don’t be annoying and destructive)
IF YOU WANT TO BATTLE ANOTHER PLAYER, GET THEIR PERMISSION AND THE SERVER ADMIN’S PERMISSION FIRST!
Respect other players, server admins and library staff
Keep your voices low- use the chat instead!

How to protect chests & doors so other players cannot use them

Our server uses the Lockette plug-in, allowing you to ‘lock’ your chests and doors. Follow these steps to do so:

Place a chest or door to be locked
Place a sign post on a block immediately adjacent to the chest/door (you can put it above a door, too).
In the first line, type [Private]
[Optional] In the third and forth line, put other player’s names who you want to have access.
[Optional] To add more than 2 more players, place a second sign with the first line [More Users] and the names of the users on lines 2-4.

More help and screen shots available on the Lockette plugin page.

Did you get Griefed?

If someone stole your stuff or destroyed your buildings while you were away- don’t worry! Our server is protected by the powerful CoreProtect 2 plugin. This plugin allows administrators to see a complete player and block history AND to automatically restore an area to a previous point.
