The waiting server and it's floating domes

The waiting server on the 1.14 Server has developed over time. Now acting as a hub with its own mini areas that people can stay in, and use it to connect their Discord and Minecraft accounts.

First created on the 11th June 1019, the waiting server was made to help act as an overflow server initially for when the main server was full. It was inspired by the previous fallback server on the previous server that James76931 ran.

It initially started off with only 3 domes. The spawn dome, activity area and PvP area.

The waiting server has been set up and customised by Jim and Katuen.

Domes

The spawn dome

Spawn dome

This dome started with only one portal to the Main survival server initially.

It now has two portals, one to the Main survival server, and another to the stream build server.

Additionally there is a small platform to jump down into the small world below

The activity dome

Activity dome

This dome was one of the first to be made, with miscellaneous things to do.

  • Multiple noteblocks of different sounds and pressure plates to activate them
  • Redstone lamps to be activated by levers / buttons
  • A "parkour" course of slabs going up to the ceiling, with a mysterious button to press.
  • A wall of buttons of varying degrees and results
The build dome, with a build within

Build dome

The build area dome features chests on the outside of the dome, for staff to add blocks to, and then players can use them in a ~10x6x12 area.

There used to be a button to reset the area, but has been officially removed from Late September 2019.

The PvP dome

PvP dome

This dome features a small raised platform of 11x11 blocks, with a few lava pools within and is surrounded by iron bars for players to PvP within.

As of early October 2019, there are now command blocks to close and open the two entrances to the arena.

The rollercoaster dome, and entry point

Rollercoaster dome

Created on the 29th June. This dome features connected train carts to act as a rollercoaster, going out, and then around the dome, before flying through the air, then it travels underground, over a lava pool, going upside down, and then returning to the dome. Each ride lasts around 41 seconds.

The maze dome

Maze dome

Created on the 5th October 2019, this dome features two simple hedge mazes, on two levels, with a prize at the end for those who complete it.

Extra portals dome, ft bees

Extra portals dome

Created on 3rd November 2019, an extra dome was added with a dirt theme, behind where players spawn featuring two new portals. An old themed portal that goes to the 1.13, and another made of sandstone that leads to an UHC minigame server.

As of the 1.15 update being applied to the server, there are now named bees within this area.

Puzzle dome

Created on the 28th December 2019, thanks to a plugin this is a small and short puzzle that once solved plays noteblock music. It features lasers, mirrors and blocks which break. The lasers burn and set players on fire.
