As the server host guy I wanted to know if you had some ideas to stop a server from dying by changing the servers goal and not by modding the server ( Create Mod, ... ).
I mostly try to have a lot of projects running at the same time so I can switch around if I'm getting bored with the current project. Also try some mundane things like beacon mining, those really get some creative juices flowing!
The people playing on my server are to lazy ( but still complain if there's nothing to do even though they've only acquired their armor and built a decent base )
