CMA
Cake's Miner Apocalypse
Origin of Idea
Cakes Miner Apocalypse Subreddit
Just to be clear, this mod was made for the subreddit, not the other way around. However, anyone can use it, not just people involved with the subreddit!
Backstory
You stumble over a tangle of grass as you finally come to your senses. Where are you? You look around, seeming to be in the middle of a vast grassy plain, the likes of which you've never seen except in the holobooks of your youth. Where were you coming from? You look over your shoulder to try and spy your origin, but the plain extends for as far as the eye can see, no end in sight. A jolt of pain sends your hand up to the side of your head to find hair matted with blood. A head injury, most likely. Even as you think this, your memory becomes clearer. A special mission, they said. Something about preserving humanity. You dig in your pocket under the heavy, lead filled armor and find a handfull of seeds. It all comes flooding back.
You were a candidate in a military program on experimental stasis, although now you suspect that you had been fooled. Why else would you be wearing what amounted to a lead apron, in a world where the air tastes like metal from the ionization. Why else would the room in which you awoke, a room that you have ho hope of finding again, look as though it were a million years old. Why else would you have a pocketfull of seeds. Why else can you not find the vast, sprawling city of your home.
What happened to the world? Are you alone, or are there others? Questions race through your mind as a change in the scenery catches your eye. The world is becoming slightly darker, the sun sinking over the horizon. You don't know why, but you have the feeling that being out in the open at night, even in this seemingly deserted land, would be a bad idea. You walk to a tree, a lone sentinel in a land full of mysteries. You clench your fist. Well, it's not like you have an axe...
Explanation
This mod is meant to approximate single-player mode in multiplayer minecraft, with the rare possibility of discovery and friendship. Players are randomly spawned into locations in the world, which is a set size and wraps around on the borders. The distances involved (customizable) mean that you have a good chance of remaining completely undiscovered if you wish, however if you go venturing, you may very well bump into another player, shattering the single-player illusion. Over time, players find each other, creating towns, friendships, betrayals, and enemies out of the interactions.
I felt it important to add my name to the title of the mod, not to try to increase my own popularity, but to distinguish my mod from the many others that I am sure will be made out of this idea. I will be taking this mod in a different direction than I'm sure the official mod will go in, and from where other individuals' mods will go.
Features (so far)
- Multiworld support!
- Random spawn and respawn across the total surface of the world.
- Customizable world size (edit CakesMinerApocalypseMapSize.txt in your server folder to width and height of world, default 10000).
- World-edge wrap, meaning that once you reach an edge of the world, you will be teleported to the other side.
- Radio equipment for survivors, if they wish, to communicate with other survivors over long distances.
- Chat based on distance, no global chat, chat gets more unintelligible the farther you are away from the speaker.
- Random Fallout Shelter generation in 0.1% of chunks (by default). See this imgur album for details. Fallout shelters are encased in bedrock with an iron door as the only entrance.
- Iron doors that are powered are indestructible. An iron door with a lever next to it is the only entrance to fallout shelters, which when closed are impervious to attack.
- Radiation damage system where you get damaged more the closer you get to generated craters (in 0.1% of chunks by default).
- G.E.C.K.s lower the area's radiation levels. See this imgur album for details.
- Dirty Bombs/Nukes!

Hey Dretax, I'm back again, you going to update this for 1.6 when it comes out?
@orodai
Okay i will see what can i do with it.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/cakesminerapocalypse/
@dretax
Woohoo!
@dretax
Edit:Was caused by a conflict with extremebiomes. Dretex do you know of a workaround for http://pastebin.com/ugHTU915
Dretex I thought you took offense to something I had said earlier just disregard my shinanigans. Good job with the plugin, you should take it over and bring it back I guarantee itd be popular.
@orodai
What?
@dretax
Aww I wasnt hating on you bud just theres so many good mods and not enough talent to go around keeping them all up.
I compiled a version off of mushroomhostages work and it worked up till 1.4.7. Does alternate worlds not work at all because I was hoping it would.
@SherlockHomie
I totally forgot about this. Working on it
@orodai
Give a try... https://www.dropbox.com/s/ey1hd0rjkl42fh2/CakesMinerApocalypse.jar :)
It will give an error on startup, ignore it.
Disable alternate worlds, and you will get no errors :)
@SherlockHomie
I think you're better off trying to learn java yourself and updating it sometimes XD
All the mc modding has definitely inspired me to pick it up.
If you're looking to run it on a 1.2.5 server you can get away with it using mushroomhostages modifications. It throws a lot of errors though.. but it works.
@dretax
When will it be back?
@dretax
Thank you so so much!
@SherlockHomie
I will try to bring this plugin up again.
Every day I check for this to be updated, I know it won't be every time I look. I just get a little bit of hope every time I see it. It makes me wish that minecraft stayed at 1.1 so I could use this for my server, Tis' a shame/
Is this plugin dead? It'd be a shame if it was, because it looks really cool :/
@mushroomhostage
"anyone want to update it?"
I hope the author :D
@Paczqa
Wow that's a lot of errors indeed :D. Haven't seen these myself, no idea sorry (I generated the map for my server on 1.2.3, not 1.2.5).
But fortunately this plugin is open source.. anyone want to update it?
@mushroomhostage
Yes, i used yours unofficial update, there are sooo many errors when new chunks are generated (i think):
http://justpaste.it/zxk
From "Done!" to "/stop" command. 5k errors, nice :D
@Paczqa
Are you still seeing the errors with my unofficial update if so can you post the full console log?
@Tunix2
Cake's Miner Apocalypse overrides all chat; if you want similar chat functionality but without overriding maybe try CakeMushroom's RealisticChat - it should be compatible with CMA as long as its local chat is disabled.
@Paczqa
I agree
Can you update please?
I have much errors on bukkit run (1.2.5 R1.0)
Users complain of heavy glitching when walking around.As an OP I have no glitchyness but if I change my group to normal. Its highly glitchy.
Also its ignoring my chat manager completely and replacing my chat with green.
Bukkit: 2070, also tested with 2049 still glitchy.
