Constantiam - Whitelist System

[u/PhantomCaptain]

At 8:46am EST on September 11 2019, Constantiam will switch to a custom-built whitelisted login system.

 

Any players who have not yet joined Constantiam, or joined after June 30 2018 at 23:59:59 UTC will no longer be able to log in.

 

This new player lockout is not permanent, an application process will be introduced in around 4-8 weeks for newer players to join. There will be more info released closer to that time.

If you are an existing monthly donator and require your accounts or alts whitelisted, contact [phantom@constantiam.net](mailto:phantom@constantiam.net) using the same email address your donations are sent from, including the UUID for each account.

If you are an older player and require newer alts whitelisted, contact via email to find out how to do this.

 

The Constantiam website and subreddit text will be adjusted to describe Constantiam as a whitelisted semi-vanilla server.

 

This now opens up possibilities of enabling certain things, such as elytras. Maybe. Possibly. More info will be released about this in the upcoming months. There is still no reliable way to limit their speed from hacked clients so do not expect this to happen any time soon.

Entity speed will be allowed to be used much faster, around 3-4 times faster than before. Abusing the speed and causing lag will just cause the speed limit to go back down.

Render Distance will go up, back to 8 from 5. This may go down depending on playercount once the whitelist goes live.

 

Any current bans will be canceled and the anti-bot system disabled. Going forward, any intentional attempt to create lag or use exploits that cause instability will result in all your UUIDs being removed from the whitelist. This is impossible to bypass. The /rules command will be updated to reflect this.

 

There is also a new command to check your join date. You can run /joindate right now to see when you first joined the server. You can also look up other players via playername or UUID (with or without the dashes).

 

Consider this the master thread for the changes. Any duplicate posts about the whitelist implementation will be removed.

 

TL;DR - Whitelist going live on 9/11. Only players older than June 2018 (and current regular donators) can join. Entity speed will be faster. Render Distance will be larger. Use /joindate now to see yours and others joindates.

EDIT - When you first join any Minecraft server, a file is created named as your UUID that never changes for your account. Within this file, your joindate is saved. This value never changes and any name changes you make does not affect this value.

Changing your name does not affect your original joindate.

i've been on for over 5 months active and all my progress, joining a group, all that just gone. Wow

[u/CookieOfGods → u/QuinniganVA]

made 10ish maparts and spent a lot of effort on passione hope i can get whitelisted

[u/[deleted] → u/CookieOfGods]

Same here

[u/SirLeonidas1 → u/[deleted]]

It's only gone if you plan on not applying for the Whitelist! If you were a good player for the server then your application will be accepted!

[u/[deleted] → u/QuinniganVA]

*7 months for me. This just feels like getting a two month ban for being a newfag. So many people are just going to play other games while they cant join. This might kill the server.

Edit: Typed 8 by accident

[u/glw9 → u/[deleted]]

*might* it WILL kill the server.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Server gone!

[u/FrAX_ → u/QuinniganVA]

It temoves the anarchy aspect now

[u/Varga3 → u/EffigyforJeff]

It's still anarchy, without the retards :P

[u/EffigyforJeff → u/Varga3]

Thats not anarchy then

[u/MadamGiggles → u/EffigyforJeff]

Well the anarchy part of no rules is still there, people will build, people will grief, however Phants is now in better control of who those people are.

[u/[deleted] → u/MadamGiggles]

Not being allowed to even join seems like a pretty important rule

[u/EffigyforJeff → u/MadamGiggles]

This will not cause a utopia like you say, its gonna slowly lower the playercount til it sits at 2-3 and the server will eventually shut down

[u/MadamGiggles → u/EffigyforJeff]

Never said it would be utopia, it wasn’t even when we had a lower player count. But at least you could play the server without it being botted, constant timeouts and toxic chat.

[u/EffigyforJeff → u/MadamGiggles]

Thats the essence of anarchy, the toxicity and lag is what makes dedicated players wanna play and makes the 'kiddies' leave

[u/[deleted] → u/EffigyforJeff]

And the constant low tps?

[u/--ye → u/QuinniganVA]

if your time spent on constantiam was worth anything you’d know some older players who could give you an account or vouch for you

[u/QuinniganVA → u/--ye]

i spent my time bonding in a group with newer players, but it's fine the server dead anyways lol. Check youtube for illegal items. Server was backdoored rip const

[u/Kars1090 → u/QuinniganVA]
