Hey! Good to see you around after so long. Not sure how much traffic your RSPS will get, partially due to the lack of userbase on the forums (majority is on discord atm) and the fact that RS hasn't been a big thing around here for a while.

Kinda would have preferred if Owners/Admins didn't vote, as the poll is to decide what we end up working on - our personal views on what WE want on the server, if it isn't what the community wants, takes a backseat to what they want. Ie, if noone cares about skywars but really want Zombie Survival and SG, we aren't going to just work on SkyWars and then the others. We are going to work on ZS and SG and if we really want to we can put SW in after that. Just an example. In terms of this poll, you voting once for everything just kinda dilutes it.

Hello members of Chaotic United! If you have been with us recently (before ND closed down) you know that we took our MC server offline to do some work, as seen by this post. We didn't say a whole lot as to what was being done to the server. Today, Chaotic United is officially relaunching! Let's get right into the updates. Website The website has seen a good number of changes recently. First of all, there is a new theme selector. We have done some minor edits and facelifts to the old visual styles to bring them more up to date and make it feel more like Chaotic United. In addition to that, we have a theme designed to replicate the visual appearance of Nuclear District's website. For those that prefer the older and somewhat broken themes, they are available under a tab titled 'Classic Themes'. The old theme options are also still available, however due to the way they tend to cause noticeable visual errors they have been moved into a legacy tab. You can still poke with them if you desire but please keep in mind that the website from here on out will not be designed with those options in mind (and frankly have never been designed with them in mind to begin with). In addition to the look and feel of the site, we have some new pages! First off, the Forums tab has been renamed to 'Community' and is now a dropdown. Within it is the old forums link and a new Twitch Feeds page, also inspired by Nuclear District's website. Any Twitch streams that you guys post in the Streams forum that are continuously active, or any Streams we think you should take a look at will be added to that page. Additionally we have an About page that serves as a basic information page and also replaces the old Staff pages. The old staff pages have been moved into a 'Legacy' tab for those who wish to view them, however they will no longer be updated. With a similar layout and design, a Veterans page has been added that memorializes old legends of CU and the staff at ND. Lastly, a new Credits page has been added that has various credits of all the people or groups that had a hand in CU's history, as well as people who have contributed to the current iteration of CU Minecraft.. Minecraft The MC server is of course the main reason you guys are here. Let's get right into it. The most immediate change is that we have finally updated past 1.8! We are officially on 1.10! One bug that has been noted, you should not use 1.10.2 (1.10.1 is untested) as it causes a bug with our anti-cheat plugin and walking on certain blocks will cause it to think you are no-clipping. To prevent the bug, please use base 1.10. In terms of gamemodes, we are launching with Creative, Survival, and SkyBlock. We have a PvP focused gamemode in the works, but we decided to work with it post-launch as to get the server online sooner rather than later. Every single world has been given a brand new spawn. Some things are inspired from past creations, but this time around the builds themselves are brand new. For quite some time, we have been reusing pieces of old spawns or entire old spawns with some sloppy worldedit block filters. Ultimately, it was kind of neat and nostalgic at the same time, but for this relaunch we really wanted to give CU a fresh start, a clean slate from the mess of a server that existed in 2014-2015. Introducing: CraftBook! Some of you might not have a clue what this is. Those of you who do know what it is, are probably excited. It allows for a heap of new changes and tweaks to the game to expand it. Custom crafting recipes, gates, doors, bridges, and so much more. Some of the mechanics are only allowed in survival, and will show a 'You don't have permission to use this mechanic' message in other gametypes. As per before, we will continue to expand the MC server as time goes on and as new features are requested. Lastly, if you have yet to do so, you are invited to the Chaotic United discord server! If you are from ND or wish to keep in touch with original CU members that are not around anymore, check out NARA. Happy Minecrafting, The Chaotic United Team

Sounds like a plan, heading to next class will be home in around 2.5-3 hours. (WEEKEND BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII)

Hello everyone! Just a quick update today regarding some recent changes! First off, for those who don't pay notice to the sidebar, we have a Discord server! You can join it at: http://discord.me/chaoticunited. That being said we will continue to be supporting the NARA Discord server for any of you who missed the memo about ND's closure. Our discord server as well as NARA have both been the sort of main hub for community activity as opposed to the forums for the time being (which i suspect is because of the lack of an MC server and sizable playerbase at the moment) Secondly, a new forums theme was just released! It is fairly simplistic, but that is by design. For those of you who love the look of Windows 95, 98, NT Workstation, 2000, and ME this is the theme for you. It aims to tap into that old nostalgic look of older Windows versions. Lastly, those who are astute observers of the title may be wondering, "Why did we go from CU Updates #9 to #11?" Well, there were two updates titled CU Updates #6 (around the time ND closed down and that was the source of the confusion) and rather than going and editing the titles of all the posts I figured it'd be better to just jump to 11 to fix the error. (#Laziness) Additionally, there are some announcements that were going to be saved for the MC launch but as to not make the relaunch post have any negative downer content I will just announce them here and now. Since the relaunch operation began in 2014, we have continued on the legacy of being a cracked server. As of this next iteration of the MC server we will be cracked no longer. The cause was partially due to the fact that it was becoming increasingly difficult for us to advertise effectively when running in a cracked environment, and combined with the fact that only one or two people were actually cracked players it just didn't make sense. However the main reason was because of a purely technical problem with a plugin called AutoIn. The plugin was added originally to allow skins to work correctly on the server, but was later purposed with alleviating issues with people leaving automatically due to required /login and /register commands. As a result it was set to only require cracked to do those commands, premium users could join and play with no commands at all. Unfortunately, after updating the server beyond 1.8, a deep lag issue began occurring. Some of you may recall times where I tried to update to 1.9 before a relaunch was planned but it never came to fruition because "1.9 was a laggy pile of crap". 1.10 had the same issues but to a slightly lesser degree. It wouldn't lag outright, but flying or moving fast would make the server appear to freeze and lag but in reality it was all client-side. Server-side, there was no lag and everything worked properly. After some analyzing it was discovered that AutoIn was the issue and as a result it was removed. What I suspect was the issue is that AutoIn interfered with the player-server connection and caused there to be long and painful delays in any data transmission between client and server. I do want to bring back cracked support in the future but after staff talks a while back it was unanimously agreed that a laggy experience for premium and cracked was worse than a fully playable experience for premiums at the cost of denying cracked access. If you are a cracked player, you have likely been here a long time. Some of you have been around since the KaizerCraft days, and some of you even longer. I urge you to cough up the money to purchase the game for around $25 USD. If you have been around this long you probably also really enjoy the game and have gotten a ton of fun out of it. If you refuse to buy it or simply can't afford it, then you can just hang around in Discord and TeamSpeak and whatnot and wait until cracked support is reintroduced. We are looking for alternatives to AutoIn to bring it back. The MC server itself is still in need of a completed Creative and SkyBlock spawns and a few plugin configurations before we are ready to launch. Lastly, I want to go ahead and mention the recent US presidential election. So far you guys have been good about not attacking each other for differing political views. I would ask simply that this continues and if there are differing views that they can be discussed in a civil manner without having a complete meltdown like 45% of the country is right now. And I will leave you with a screenshot of the Creative spawn thus far:

Hey everyone! As per a user's suggestion, we have created a handful of Chaotic United and Nuclear District wallpapers! Enjoy! 4k

Blizz got it to work, however it was fairly hard for him to, meanwhile espon couldn't at all. The pack has over 100 mods so it is a hefty pack.

Scaloppine is a type of Italian dish that comes in many forms. It consists of thinly sliced meat most often veal, pork, or chicken that is dredged in wheat flour, sautéed, then heated and served with a tomato-, wine redux-sauce; or piccata, which denotes a caper and lemon sauce. #wikipedia

It is however it may not be for some time, this poll is to decide which should be prioritized.

Well I had TS, Skype, Steam, Modded MC, Discord, and Chrome so stfu

Hey everyone! Today I bring forth something that we are considering internally, which is switching gears and making our main MC server a modpack server. This post is simple, I want to know how you guys feel about it. Please know that this will be a custom modpack tailored to our needs and will not be a standard pack. The pack will be obtainable via the Technic Launcher. So, without further delay, vote away!
