<h2>The Mining Dead</h2>
|
|
<p>This page is a work in progress.
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is also from a very long time ago (2012), so my recall is pretty poor,
|
|
which makes it especially difficult to write this article.

|
The Mining Dead was a series of loosely Fallout-themed Minecraft zombie apocalyse servers,
|
|
featuring high spawns, difficult zombies, radiation, solar flares, decayed cities,
|
|
a desert world generation without trees, crops, animals, grass, or dirt,
|
|
custom player ranks based on zombie kills, a special radio chat system,
|
|
a custom Technic Platform modpack, and a lot of rotten flesh.
|
|
Among other things.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Aside from being some of the most fun I've had in my life,
|
|
my takeover of the server's administration and codebase in 2012
|
|
was what kickstarted my programming career and love for Debian GNU/Linux.
|
|
I would not be the person I am today without it.
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is my loose attempt at a server chronology.
|
|
This was all a long time ago, so I'm mixing up the order of things a lot.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The original server was founded by Skuli_Steinulf in beta 1.8.
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Tekkit Classic server was founded by Skuli.
|
|
The server had three worlds (inventories were not shared):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The Outlands: The conventional Mining Dead experience.
|
|
<li>The Frontier: A zombie apocalyse world with normal terrain generation and no radiation.
|
|
<li>Medieval: A standard Tekkit Classic world.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>A short-lived Tekkit Lite server or something might've been in here?
|
|
<li>Skuli had early access to the Technic Platform. He creates a custom modpack for the server.
|
|
<li>
|
|
Skuli simultaneously founds a vanilla server,
|
|
and another server using the custom modpack featuring the Cogs of the Machine mod
|
|
instead of more conventional high-tech mods like IndustrialCraft 2.
|
|
<li>
|
|
Skuli abruptly retires from maintaining The Mining Dead.
|
|
I had no programming experience and no experience with running Minecraft servers,
|
|
but I took over anyway. I learn as I go.
|
|
<li>
|
|
TODO: The rest of the chronology, including my multiple servers, the DJ incident,
|
|
Skuli's second attempt and the ice worlds, the various attempts to succeed me,
|
|
Skuli's later servers, other servers I made, and Obamallama's servers.
|
|
</ul>
