I have updated the map available, it’s 3D now.

Also on 4/1/2023 the world got corrupted when I was trying to trim it, so I’ve had to revert it to that date.

What’s really sad is no one noticed until now.

15:27 PM 02/15/2023

Unfortunantly the domain registrar for bigdaddy.cf apparently is going under, so the new domain for bigdaddy is bigdaddy.jayd.ml. If you’re here, you already know that though.

20:04 PM 01/30/2022

I’ve disabled the world border, because why not. It was initially turned on in an attempt to get people to build bases near each other, but when that didn’t happen, it doesn’t really seem to serve a purpose.

Have fun!

18:27 PM 01/12/2022

The server has been updated to 1.18.1. I have also roughly doubled the size of the map to get the new biomes (gee wow). You can still connect from Bedrock clients as well.

18:08 PM 08/08/2021

The server has been updated to 1.17.1. I have not extended the world border yet, I plan on doing it when the terrain generation changes drop in 1.18. This means that you can’t get copper yet.

Connecting With Bedrock Edition

Remember that you can connect to the server with the bedrock (mobile/xbox) version of Minecraft! Linking accounts so that your Xbox account is the same as your Mojang account has changed, visit the Minecraft server at link.geysermc.org in the Java edition and run /linkaccount to begin the process.

22:36 PM 02/27/2021

Big Daddy now has a Valheim server! Valheim requires an IP address, you can’t put “bigdaddy.cf”, so to help out you can now check on the left where it says “IP” to find out the server’s current IP. You can now just put bigdaddy.cf into the server IP address of Valheim.

Ask Jayden for the password on Discord.

15:49 PM 02/05/2021

More earth-shattering changes, the server is now running 1.16.5.

Also, I added every angle to the world map so that you can see your dirt hovel from every glorious angle.

Bedrock

Now you can connect to the Java server with a Bedrock client! (phones, xbox)

Instructions:

1. Put the IP address into Bedrock
2. Sign into Big Daddy on Bedrock, you should go to spawn. Sign out
3. Sign in to the server on your Java account

4. Type /linkaccount yourgamertaghere into chat

   It will give you a command to run, like /linkaccount yourjavaname code. Write it down.

5. Sign out of Java, sign back in to Bedrock
6. Run that command you got in the Bedrock client. You should get a message that it worked

Remember that this plugin that allows you to sign in with your bedrock client is experimental and you will have issues with it. Still pretty cool though!

As always, if you have issues or have downtime, let me know!

14:07 PM 12/15/2020

The server is now running Minecraft 1.16.4, which brings exciting new features like the ability to block players, and new splashes src.

14:46 PM 10/30/2020

I noticed that we had a couple new players on the playerlist (k7cd4h0kygv369h4 and nag1bator228)

And after looking at the map there appeared to be a few new craters

Sure enough, they had a little fun

What’s funny though is that it took them longer to grief than it took me to undo it all.

Anyway, it should be fixed now, let me know if there is anything still wrong.

For now, I’ve enabled a whitelist. Let me know if you want me to add anyone, we’ll just keep this a referral/friend of a friend only deal for now.

13:54 PM 10/05/2020

I’ve added a player list to the site, so you can see when the last time someone logged in, and how dead the server is. See the “Players” link on the left.

It will update hourly.

This is also open source

14:57 PM 09/19/2020

The server has been updated to 1.16.3, a much requested update that adds many new features.

16:06 PM 08/26/2020

The server has been updated to 1.16.2.

I also fixed an issue that would prevent you from connecting to the server intermittently, the dynamic ip address update script wasn’t running.

As always, let me know if you are having issues.

20:05 PM 07/08/2020

The server has been updated to 1.16.1 and the nether has been reset, hooray!

Let me know if there is anything funky going on.

21:10 PM 06/18/2020

Yes, I know the Nether Update lands June 23rd. Unfortunately, we will not be running that version for a while. Big Daddy uses a modded server (papermc) for plugins like WorldEdit and permissions. I can’t upgrade the server until they release a version of Paper for the Nether Update, which could be a month or so.

When it does release, I’m planning on nuking the nether and starting over so we get the Fresh Content™.

Make sure that you keep a copy of 15.2 running. I will update the version in the sidebar (👈) when I update the server, and notify everyone.

Patience :)

17:24 PM 05/09/2020

I worked on the site a bit, but tried to retain its “first html I ever wrote” flair†, but now it is generated with Jekyll ¯\(ツ)/¯.

Check out the new about page, there are links to download all of the old worlds and maps.

† layout done using tables, <p id="subheading"> everywhere, spacer.png…

13:54 PM 04/09/2020

The server is now running Minecraft 15.2 and we have reset the world, since coronavirus has reset our world.

Here is the map!

13:55 PM 02/03/2020

The old bedrock world is gone. Long live the old bedrock world!

The new bedrock world is the jungle level we started. So have fun!

Here is the old world: bigdaddy-mobile.mcworld

20:33 PM 10/16/2019

How time flies. The server is now running 1.14.4!

There is also a Bedrock Minecraft server running on the same host.

(by the way the server had over 700 days of uptime until JOHN shut it off trying to fix his INTERNET...).

Enjoy!

7:19 PM 11/10/2017

Updated 11:47 AM 6/16/2018

Oh by the way the server's back up, bigdaddy.cf

There are now online maps for the old worlds and the new worlds

• ninja - the original
• World 3 - last one from High School
• World 4- the world from early 2017-June 2018
• Snow - (created by the one and only John Every)
• all_biomes - The current world as of 04/09/2020

The map for the current world will be updated every night at 2 AM.

Note that:

• In the lower left corner you can see the coordinates of your cursor
• In the upper left corner there is a drop down menu that you can use to select different worlds / change it to night
• The map will briefly be unavailable at 2 AM as it updates itself

Enjoy!

THE END OF AN ERA

Yesterday, July 26th 2014, I put down Big Daddy. At the time the server had 377 days of uptime.

For me this is sad. This means the end of all the fun we had in High School. The end of The Brotherhood. All of the immature, ridiculous, and precious memories that we made.

Maybe after our missions we'll come together fire up Big Daddy again. Maybe we won't. Maybe we'll start a new world. But maybe we won't really do much together, after all two years is a long time and we're likely to be going to different schools.

But regardless of what will happen what has happened happened, and now we have a save file. It has Brayden's, uh, special, buildings, John's epic creations, and Calon's many disparate bases. Taken as a whole it is a snapshot to our lives then and For a while we all had fun together, and this save file is a testament to that.

No one will probably read this. No one will probably play this save. In a few years Big Daddy will probably be a faded memory. But if someone remembers, I hope that this save can bring back a little of the comraderie that we had back then.

And I want you to know that I had so much fun playing and running this game. I miss you guys and will treasure the friendship that we had.

We had a good run.

2:51 PM 2/23/2014

Still need to brag about my epic uptime

I couldn't have done better if I had tried

2:44 PM 11/17/2013

This is for nostalgia's sake: (click to enlarge)

That is one mangled world save! Notice the random missing chunks that appeared as the old server deterioratied

2:44 PM 11/17/2013

Just gonna brag about my accidental uptime.

Kinda forgot about it for a few months there.

By the way, I'm feeling rumblings of resetting the world...

6:31 PM 4/11/2013

Server is now on 1.5.1

So you can update you client. If for whatever reason you can't get to 1.5.1 or you upgraded, see the "update" link on the left.

4:34 PM 2/26/2013

PSA

Please don't steal.

And especially don't lie about it... Twice

Its not that I'm upset about losing some torches and a wooded pickaxe, just don't mess with people's stuff!

Remember the rules and have fun!

7:11 PM 2/24/2013

The server is coming back tommorrow at 4!

It has 8x the ram, 2x the cores and a 5x faster internet connection!

Unfortunantly this means that it has 4gigs of ram, a Pentium 4 dual core and a 5 mb/s upload speed, so yea.

Its coming up at bigdaddy.no-ip.org, but you have to talk to me and give me your username to be able to do anything other than wander around and chat.

Remember the rules and have fun!

8:11 PM 1/8/2013

The server may or may not come back after its four month haitus after finals

It also may or may not be a dual core x64 with 4 gb of ram, so roughtly a million and a quarter times better

2:11 PM 10/23/2012

I've fixed the problem with the batch files.

I've also finished setting up the server from scratch and it has a new world now.

It isn't currently running but will be shortly. Woo!

9:40 PM 10/13/2012

Due to a Minecraft update people with fake accounts will no longer be able to play.

As such I have disabled xAuth (yay) and set the server to onlinemode=true

I'm working on a solution. In the meantime, you should've actually bought the game.

8:59 PM 10/13/2012

I found the old map and loaded it up for fun

Don't get too attached to it.

Also, I set it up so there is no whitelist but if I don't add you you can't break/place blocks or do anything

Check out the "About" page for a list of commands that you can now use!

5:43 PM 10/3/2012

5:40 PM 9/23/2012

Its my fault. I'll fix it soon. Schools slowing me down.

4:57 PM 8/19/2012

12:18 AM 7/27/2012

Attention all modders:

This server is now much more secured. Hacked clients are a lot less effective now.

Also, xray is... interesting now.

4:39 PM 7/23/2012

Here is the old world's save file: ninja.zip

12:07 PM 7/5/2012

The server is up! It is at bigdaddy.no-ip.org:25566 with a whitelist

It is at Calon's house and has a new map!

It is survival only right now but I'm thinking about setting up a creative world for testing creations.

4:25 PM 5/30/2012

The server is being set up again, hopefully this time it will be more stable.

It will be moving to Calon's house next weekend hopefully. It was never at Brayden's.

Anyway, I will be able to upgrade the server without having to go to his house now,

so updates should be more fluid. And Calon won't be able to cheat

. We will be resetting the map, and ther revere will be running the current version of Minecraft, 1.2.5

11:32 AM 5/8/2012

The server hasn't been up for several weeks now.

John's dad is sick of the printer not working, so he just leaves it off

If I ever have time on a Saturday to move it I will, but that may not be in the near future.

Sorry. Blame John's Dad.

6:40 PM 4/24/2012

The server will be moving to Brayden's house this saturday.

I still don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

All I know is that at 10:00 every night the server will be shut down.

So, basically, I'm going to stop playing Minecraft.

Hooray!

7:31 PM 4/10/2012

There is a bug with the login plugin on the server. I will update it asap.

This is the "You Are Already Logged In" bug. It will be fixes as soon as I can get to John's house

The first person to text me about this message will recieve a diamond.

11:59 AM 4/10/2012

Attention:

Somewhere on the site is a hidden code. if someone can find it and give it to me in the next 24 hours they get 2 diamonds.

4:28 PM 4/8/2012

Please remember to /logout when you are done playing!

Failure to do so will make it so when you try and log in it will say "You are already logged in!"

We have to restart the server to fix this, so /logout OR ELSE.

5:44 PM 4/2/2012

Big Daddy has been updated to 1.2.4. You will need to go to "Latest Version of Minecraft" and download the auto updater.

Also, when you log in you will be required to register a password. This is so that other people can't log into your account.

7:15 PM 4/1/2012

Big Daddy has a website! Come here if you get "Outdated Client" when you try and connect to the server.

This will likely happen sometime this week, I'm going to update the server.
