Revision as of 04:55, 8 November 2018

Gamemode 4D was a public server owned by Accidental Games. It was designed to give fans of Gamemode 4 an open server to play and experience a taste of what there is to offer (all modules used on server will be listed below). This server was the fourth iteration (Public Server IV), opened on November 10, 2017, and closed on October 29, 2018.

This server was the fourth iteration, but it was the first official GM4 server to be fully public, as all previous servers had a whitelist with an application form.

Rules

All players are expected to know and follow these rules at all times. Failure to do so could result in punishment. For more detailed rules- visit the Gamemode 4 Website.

Discord Rules

  • Other discords related to Gamemode 4 are allowed, but not moderated, nor supported by the staff team.
  • Please use the text channels for their intended purposes
  • #help is strictly for contacting staff.
  • If an issue needs to be brought to the attention of the staff team, you may use the ping-able roles: @staff, @mod, or @admin.

Player Ranks

There were four ranks on the server. Ranks were not progression-based, nor did ranks indicate extra survival features.

  • Donor - Donors have a gold-coloured name. One-time donation players receive this rank for a month, Patrons of the server have the rank until the end of their patronage.

  • Moderator - Indicated by a red "M" in front of their names, Moderators can check for griefers / thieves on a server, teleport to players in need and rollback damage. These are assigned by the Admins.
  • Admin - Indicated by a red "A" in front of their aqua-coloured names, Admins are responsible for the running of the server. They have OP (operator) permissions, can add, modify or remove Gamemode 4 Modules.

Getting Started on Gamemode 4D

When first spawning in Gamemode 4D, the player would spawn randomly in Landings. They would have a book in their inventory that explains to have to craft a Mandala (in a normal crafting table). The Mandala would allow players to travel to different dimensions. While holding the Mandala in Landings, right clicking the particles would take the player to the Overworld.

Vanilla Dimensions

There were several differences between the normal dimensions of Minecraft and the dimensions of Gamemode 4D. The Overworld, Nether, and End had been tweaked to make the survival experience more difficult.

Overworld

In this version of the overworld, there were many different characteristic than the vanilla Overworld. The bedrock layer was raised, less ore types could be found, and villagers were void from this world. Additionally, the 2 other vanilla dimensions (Nether and End) could not be accessed through this overworld. >Read More<

Nether

The Nether could not be accessed through the Overworld. To reach the Nether, a portal could be built at the very bottom area of Lower Caves. Portals in the Nether had to be below a certain height to properly activate.

Items with the Conduction shamir will not work in this dimension.

The End

The End could not be accessed through the Overworld. To reach the End, a player had to use an End Portal found on the Moon.
