I didn’t even notice, most content on the website is redundant when you have a discord 😭😭

great...
first it was the big tech social media outlets and the media attacking freedom of speech and now Minecraft is now violating our first amendment rights!?
This is bloody despicable!

Trying to bring the dev out of me again like Jesus on the third day.
 
Religions, if included, should allow for followers of the deity to reap certain rewards for doing certain actions.
 
Let's say we have a god of the wilds/forests. To appease the deity you could, perhaps, plant trees. This will accumulate belief. More belief = more perks.
 
Something like that would be interesting.

Religions are a great idea, but it would have to be implemented correctly.

Haha, nope. Killed itself again when I was halfway done typing my Hard Drive password. Guess it's time for a new laptop. Please note that a new laptop is months away. MONTHS. So, please don't hold your breath for it. If you want a server, ask Alycat to start up a temp. server until I can provide services again.

Important: To see Durite's custom textures you will NEED Optifine! You may download that here!
 
Hello lovelies!
I made new toys for you guys, and it seems like only a handful of you actually know about it. So, I have decided to make this lovely little guide for you so that you can start your hunt for Durite, the strongest material on Chaotic United!
(yes even stronger than netherite, don't let the tool stats fool you.)
 
 
Let's start with some background on how to find some...
First, you'll need a Netherite Pickaxe (or a Durite Pick) to mine the Durite. Keep in mind; Silk Touch does work on Durite Ore.
You can find Durite Ore in craters like this:

 
The craters all lead to one large impact zone! The person who finds this can have Owner on W i n d F r o n t i e r :
(@KiranFuryPhoenix otherwise known as IlphenDai is the first to have found it!)

 
Confused on what W i n d F r o n t i e r is? I don't care, we're moving on.
 
P.S using dynmap can help you locate the craters
 
 
But Wandwaffle, why do I want Durite!?
Well, for starters, if you have OptiFine installed and you accepted our custom server resource pack, you're gonna look like this:

 
 
Damn that looks cooler than a polar bear (;) ) but what does Durite do!?
Durite Sword: Does a total of 9 damage points per hit. The tool will say it does 7 damage, don't let that fool you.
Durite Pickaxe: Will mine a 3x3 area of natural stone blocks. (Andesite, Granite, Stone, etc)
Durite Shovel: Same as pickaxe, but with dirt blocks.
Durite Axe: Same as two above, but with wood blocks. (kinda useless cuz veinminer but whatev)
Durite Hammer: This is a brand new item that acts similar to Grifblock's Gravity Hammer!
Durite Hoe: Will till a 3x3 area of grass/dirt. Can also act as a growing agent like Bone Meal to crops by right-clicking them.
Durite Bow: A bow crafted with Durite instead of sticks. This bow can achieve a level higher than a fully drawn critical arrow.
 
Durite Armor: Will store the damage you take into a brand new attack that you can unleash by right clicking an entity!
Durite Elytra: Allows you to boost yourself while in flight by punching the air. (like the firework does, but without it)
 
Durite Hopper: A filtered hopper! Click on the filter item inside of the hopper with the item you want to set or remove from the filter. Click on the filter item to set it to a not filter.
 
 
Ok that's all cool...but how do I craft it?
Most of the crafting recipes are the same as all the other vanilla items with the exception of a few items.
 
Here's a few noteworthy crafting recipes:





 
 
 
 
I think that covers most of it, friends!
If you have any questions about Durite, please don't hesitate to ask me.

thingy accepted welcome

What's this? A new announcement already?
 
Why, yes! We've gotten some fairly important stuff fixed up and added - as you'll soon see.
 
SkyBlock Shop
 
As of right now, **we've finally opened up the SkyBlock shop!** To get there, do `/warp sbshop`. For those familiar with past SkyBlock shops, this one works a little differently. Whereas past shops used regular Survival money, this one is entirely based on trading. Nearly all items currently available use Cobblestone as a currency, with some exceptions. This may or may not change in the future, only time will tell (although this likely won't be until the next world reset, whenever that is).
 
The prices are a bit "unplanned", and since I'm not the most knowledgeable on SkyBlock as I've only lightly dabbled with it, the prices *may not* be ideal. If you believe some things are priced too high (or too low), let me or another staff member know. I'll have some talks with staff to determine any pricing changes if need be.
 
Additionally, the plugin was coded entirely in one night - so I wouldn't be all that surprised if any bugs arise. As with anything else, if you find any bugs or strange behavior, submit a bug report.
 
Forums Fixes/Changes
 
Dunno how many of you keep up with the Update Notes blog, but we fixed a pretty major bug with the new 2020 theme. If any of you used it before and thought the colors were a bit... off, then you'll be pleased to know we've fixed this issue. The theme stores its color info as a browser cookie, and if the cookie was absent it wasn't properly applying the default color. That issue has been fixed, so the theme now displays as intended.
 
Speaking of forums, we've also reintroduced the Benefactor rank for forums - as well as given both Premium and Benefactor their icons again - or should I say, *modern* icons. If you for whatever reason prefer the icons to not exist, we've added a toggle in the Rank Formatting settings for the 2020 theme to disable the icons if you like.
 
Lastly, for the 2020 theme, we've introduced a categorized menu for the theme list. Since the theme list has only grown over the years, I decided to whip together a way to display them in categories - makes things much nicer to look at. This (and the rank option settings) will gradually be brought to the remaining themes as time goes on.
 
Future Plans
 
That just about wraps it up for now. We've got some more stuff coming down the pipeline (as always), but we're currently prioritizing introducing long-ago-promised content - things that realistically should've been done a while ago, but for one reason or another still haven't been finished up yet. A few things we hope to get working in the coming weeks/months include (though as usual we can't promise set dates):
Bringing Dynmap back online Resolving remaining issues with CUStatus (this is why the web toplists/server status hasn't been showing for a bit) Reintroducing Factions New gamemodes (can't go into much detail yet, but I can tell you this: we're currently exploring more competitive options)  
For now, though, that's all I've got. See you folks on the server!

So, here we are. 2020. A new decade, and a promising first step into the future of Chaotic United.
 
For those of you who might be knew, you probably aren't familiar with all the rich history that this community has under its belt. There's a LOT more that went on besides what I'll detail here, but this post will mainly focus on a specific period of time in the community, from February 4, 2014 (technically Feb. 7 in terms of public launching), all the way through August 2016. During that time, a community called Nuclear District was hanging around.
 
Some of you may or may not have heard mention of ND during your time here. Whether this is your first time hearing of them or not - that community plays a large part in why we are here today. Before we can dive deeper into ND, we have to talk about the old Chaotic United.
 
The Old Chaotic United
 
The term "Old CU" refers to the community as it was between April 26, 2011 and early 2014. The exact dates aren't entirely locked down in terms of when the closure of old CU happened due to the way it shut down. But, in essence, what happened is that the owner at the time (named Killerteddy) was found to be abusing donation money. He left it to Nuke (Atomicbeast101) to pay the server bills while he did... something. He essentially vanished for several months without a trace. Upon his return, Nuke was denied a refund for the money he spent from his own wallet to keep CU afloat in Teddy's absence - followed by Teddy threatening to shut down the MC server entirely. After that, Nuke and the other staff of CU left - to create Nuclear District.
 
Nuclear District - And Beyond
 
ND kept the legacy of CU alive all the way through to mid-2016, where they finally shut their doors. After many long years, those honorable folk were simply tired. They were done with the community management stuff and wished to move on with their lives. After all - nobody could do this forever. Had we not been around at that time, that would've been it. The end of the Chaotic United story. A simple footnote in time, gone out with a whimper.
 
But of course - we're still here. The "New CU" (which is from September 2014 onward) was around at that point, and in mid-2015 we merged with ND.  Because of that, we were able to have the torch formally passed down to us. Originally, the relationship between the new CU and ND was not a friendly one. But as time passed, they came to understand our goals - and in some cases, even respect the sheer willpower and determination to press forward after all these years.
 
Part of our mission has been to always ensure that the work done by those people back then doesn't go unappreciated. To ensure that future generations of CU players at least have some knowledge of who the "founding fathers" were, so to speak. And for us, our commitment to honoring the legacy of Nuclear District in particular has always been one of the ways we do that.
 
 
 
But you may recall - the past few years we've kind of shown all the history. We've shown all the old server files, created an archive of past websites, polished old topics, and preserved an incredibly large portion of ND. There isn't much more to really showcase or talk about.
 
That being said, we did have one idea this year - an idea that's a bit different. The general premise was: "what would the ND forums look like today had they not closed down?". Now of course, it's merely an interpretation of what it could've looked like. I didn't design the websites and stuff for ND - Nuke did. I could've gotten him to work on it perhaps, but he's got enough on his plate - and I wanted to try and tackle this myself.
 
So, without further adieu - feast your eyes upon the newest addition to the forums theme list: Nuclear District - 2020! You can access this theme right now by checking the Theme menu in the forums footer. If you're on the default 2019 theme, it'll be towards the bottom left above the footer links. Oh, you need to be convinced to check it out? Well, have a glance at a few screenshots:
 
 
The design was influenced heavily by the style of the unreleased 2016 homepage design, with a handful of liberties taken. As you'll notice, it's built off the current CU 2019 theme and shares a virtually unchanged layout from that theme. After all - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. On top of that, for some of you this theme may appeal for a different reason - this is currently the first dark theme based on the new forums design. For those who want a proper CU dark theme, don't sweat it. It's on the way. I can't give exact dates since I am somewhat occupied with both a job and Elaztek Studios, but it will come.
 
I don't know if we'll have much to do next year, though. We've kind of run out of things we can do. Don't be too surprised if this is the last "major" ND event for a bit - potentially for the foreseeable future. There's only so much history you can pull back up before you run out. And I'd say that's a good problem to have.
 
The vast majority of ND's legacy has been preserved to what I consider to be a fairly sufficient degree. All forum posts can still be found, all website designs can be seen still, and most of the Minecraft stuff is still safe and sound as well. Unlike the old CU, a lot more care was taken to retain archives for ND.
 
Either way, for now - enjoy this theme! This theme was a little bit rushed - so there may be a few bugs here or there. If you spot any, please report them! Otherwise, enjoy this little glimpse into what could've been.

Sup Bitches, I know you all remember me and still don't wanna give me OP, whatever.
 
I have a suggestion take it or leave it, but I see a lot of potential in chaotic united not as a server but as a community. The main reason its doing completely garbage is because you're holding onto minecraft. Minecraft it self is dead, so any community related to it will also be dead. Now I am not saying get rid of minecraft because halo has an awkward fetish with blocks but maybe instead turn this into a gaming community. You have everything you need to set your self up for success, but you fail at using it. IPB is a powerful system, and it looks like you guys got it all down pact, except no one wants a whole forums based off minecraft. The old chaotic united was obliviously popping because minecraft was popping, what they did was take what was popular, offer a platform for people to connect on, and add a little twist of customization to keep it going.
 
Example: World of Warcraft
Indeed it was a very popular game around 2012 or whatever, so what did the owner decide to do,  create a platform for players to interact,  then invested in a private custom server to keep those players attracted. 
 
Example 2: Runescape
It was very popular around the same time, and once again create a platform base for players to interact and socialize, trade ect for the game, invest in a private server to keep the player base connected and involved. 
 
Then minecraft you already know how that went.
 
Those games obviously died out but by that time killerteddy knew that and was already planning on switching the game plan. Unfortunately the trail of stupidity caught up to him and he lost everything he had setup in place to keep the dream going.
 
If you guys instead turned this into a hub focused on gaming as a whole, then the players will flow in from those games and hopefully feed off into other games as well. WoW players would hop on MC for a bit, MC players would hop on runescape for a bit so on and so forth, because all those platforms were offered within the same community, friends can go play mc together, then to collect money in runescape or whatever you do in runescape I never played it really.
 
I think in order to achieve this a clean start, or a re make and re open is in order to clear out all the old and re brand and re image chaotic united for what it originally was, a gaming community because that's what everyone misses, the community aspect. Times have changed and chaotic needs the same. 

You've had numerous incidents on our Discord server, and we've heard this same tale before. I'm sorry to say that this appeal will be getting a rejection for today, and I doubt many others will have any qualms about that verdict. Time and time again, you've blasted out our eardrums, played music, and generally gotten on people's nerves. People got tired of it and so action was taken. 😕
 
You are more than free to continue playing on our MC servers providing you follow the rules, and you're welcome to continue interacting with the community here via the forums.
 
Your best bet is to give it a while when it comes to appealing from Discord. Utilize our other services in the meantime if you like. Also please, use the provided format for creating an appeal the next time. Despite Jayden's statement of "Don't make another appeal", I am entirely open and aware that, given time, people can grow out of their ways. There was a time where both I and Alycat were banned and had no place within Chaotic United, and we eventually became the ones to run the show.
 
Other staff are free to comment if they desire, but regardless of what they say the verdict is going to be a rejection, for now. Give it time. As I said before, it's not the end of the world. You still have access to the rest of CU's services - MC, forums, and so on and you're welcome to play and use them as you wish.

Approved? I don't know how these work anymore. Welcome back to Chaotic United, Cease!

So, just yesterday (or earlier today?) I made an announcement on Discord telling people that Factions would be removed in a week if it wasn't played. So far, I've had 0 people asking to keep it and several people asking for its removal - so that's what's happening today.
 
After talking with @Windwhistle a bit last night, I came to the realization that having as many modes as we do may in a sense actually cause more issues. His suggestion was to remove every single gamemode except for Survival - something I am not willing to go through with (unless you guys want it), and while I find that to be very extreme, we are going to dial back our focus on minigames and whatnot and instead focus on the things that made CU great to begin with, primarily survival.
 
Starting today, 2 modes are being removed from the server: Factions and The Arena. Let's go into more detail as to why.
 
The biggest common reason is just that nobody touches it. If I go into any of the other 3 main gamemodes, it's clear that they are all played. From creative spawn, you can go outside and see tons of creations all over the place. Survival, too, has plenty of builds attached to the spawn itself, and more as you go further out. SkyBlock, you can see several islands from the spawn area. But when I go into the factions world, the only clear change from when it was created was a small wooden wall right on the edge of spawn:
 
Additionally, there were only 2 factions that existed that had any members at all. The Arena also had this issue, plus the added bonus of being either outright broken.The original plan was to get a custom plugin to replace the pile of garbage one we had before, but that never happened. We hope to one day revisit the idea when we have more resources to work with (and maybe a paid dev or two), but for now it was just creating clutter.
 
Now as a reminder, Factions can be readded - exactly as they were - if there is demand. It would take nothing more than a couple small config edits and a quick server restart to bring them both back. But, if the demand isn't there, they won't be returning.
 
Now, for those of you with a craving for PvP, we have introduced a feature that some old CU folk should remember: /pvp. In either Survival or Skyblock, you can now do /pvp to enable or disable PVP. If you and another player want to PvP, you both just need to enable PvP.
 
Below, you can read the full changelog for this server update (it's not that long).
 
Be sure to give us your thoughts and feelings on these changes with a reply to the topic!
 
 

Hey, folks! We have an exciting announcement to make! We have officially launched our ElDewrito servers! Woohoo!
 
We are starting off with 3 servers - Forge, Grifball, and Big Team Battle. The IP's have all been posted at the bottom of this topic. We have a lot more servers planned for the future, so stay tuned for those!
 
Additionally, we are going to be officially launching the CU Download center - along with allowing users to upload mods, game variants, Forge maps, and more. Not only will we be supporting content for ElDewrito, but also we will be allowing you guys to submit Minecraft content as well. Going forward, we hope to expand this section of the website and allow you guys to share all sorts of content. But more on that another day.
 
For information on how to obtain ElDewrito and connect to our servers, check this handy topic. We're excited about these new servers - and for me personally, it's great to be able to finally blend my love for Halo and passion for Chaotic United.
 
See you on the battlefield!
