Well, after getting the domain and port forwarding right and figuring out FINALLY how to switch the main world back to Survival (I’ll post a tutorial on both later), I posted a “hey my world’s open, come visit!” notice on \/r\/MCPE<\/a> this evening. I\u00a0wasn’t expecting too many visitors – hell, I would have been happy if one person showed up. Happily I had four, and to those four, especially \/u\/Palcto<\/a> and \/u\/EclipseSun<\/a>, I say thank you for making my first MCPE server run pretty epic.<\/p>\n

Sadly the allotted 3h of game was cut a little short by an incoming call from the husband (note to self, Plug PE does NOT play nice with phone calls). Such is the hazard of running a server on one’s iPhone. But still I’d say a pretty successful first run and I’ll definitely be doing it again.<\/p>\n

Good Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am frankly flabbergasted that it took two hours into a 2.5ish hour run for the game to crash. Between the general bugginess of MCPE especially with Plug PE going, and the unreliability of my net connection lately (sigh *COMCAST*) I was expecting the game to be yo-yoing way more than it did. Nope. Pretty smooth and stable. We only seemed to have problems when teleporting players with laggier connections around, making them fall through a not-loaded-yet world. Oops.<\/p>\n

Bad Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plug PE’s give command is borked. I can .g stuff to myself fine, not so much to other people. Also had a frustrating problem with amazing disappearing\/reappearing chests. >_< Also the .in command does NOT hide you from mobs. I spent most of the game invisible near spawn (mostly so people didn’t spawn into oncoming zombies) and would get knocked about by spiders and skeleton arrows constantly. Yay diamond armor I guess. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Interesting Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It apparently takes about 2.5 hours to see almost everything in the main world. Palcto found just about everything (I suspect the Hellfire Library was missed, as it’s a little off the beaten path and possibly the maze under the castle). Something for next time then.<\/p>\n

Stuff to fix\/think about for next time:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been so long since I’ve run\/played this world in survival that I’ve not only forgotten what’s in all the chests everywhere (answer: lots of good stuff still) but I’d forgotten to do things like leave minecarts in the subway stations for folks to use. Whoops.<\/p>\n

Player Pictures!<\/strong><\/p>\n

EclipseSun has a different shader pack, so I asked him to post the screenshots he took, and holy crap, some of the builds look amazing in it.\u00a0Palcto also took screenshots of his adventures.<\/p>\n
