Donations

Many games and servers offer things like paid loot boxes to give the player buying them an advantage over everyone else. Some allow special ranks, privileges, or even staff positions to be purchased as well. Though our servers and gamemodes may have changed over the past 10 years, the core idea of Nerd.nu has not: that all players should be treated fairly and equally. Anyone can join our servers for the first time, without giving us a cent, and have the same experience as someone who’s been around for years and donated hundreds of dollars.

The hardware our servers run on does cost money, so once a year we hold a fundraiser to help pay for the next year’s costs. Every penny donated goes directly to running the servers you play on. If you are able to contribute, and believe that we have earned it, we greatly appreciate any amount you give. If you are not able to contribute, don’t worry about it! Just have fun at the event.

General Info

We are once again trying something different from the typical CTF event, although CTF will still be making an appearance. We’ll be looking for your feedback after the event is over.

  • The fundraiser will run September 13th to September 15th, 2019 on e.nerd.nu.
  • The server will be on 1.13.2.
  • As always, all other servers will be closed during the fundraiser.
  • The fundraiser will start around 8pm EDT on Friday and end 10pm Sunday evening. EDIT: The event server will remain open for a few days so that players may explore the PvE quests and fight in the different PvP arenas.
  • The other servers will open back up some time after 9pm EDT Sunday evening.

The Museum

Warp Block

The Nerd.Nu servers are celebrating our 10th Anniversary! (The official birthday was June 11th, 2019). To ring in the occasion, we're bringing back spawns from dozens of previous PvE, Creative, and Survival Revisions! At the start of the event, most rooms will be locked. Over time, rooms will slowly be opened, and their corresponding activities and descriptions will be updated on this page. Every room contains a small chunk of a revision's spawn, as well as a warp block (shown on the left) which links you to the full 600x600 spawn area. Please use the warp block to do your exploration; you'll find that most buildings and tunnels in the Museum itself have been sealed off. These blocks will require an empty inventory; most warp blocks have built-in ender chests to stash items in.

Once you warp from a museum room and enter its matching spawn area, there will be another warp block (or at least directions to another warp block) that can return you back to the museum. If you just want to explore the spawns without participating in their PvP/PvE/Minigame challenges, you are welcome to do so! Some spawns even have free elytra and rockets (and even creative flying!) for that exact purpose.

Since the museum itself is incredibly large, there are signs in spawn that will grant you two items: the Fast rail, and the Faster rail, both of which let you run through the building at breakneck speeds if you hold them. You won't be able to take these into actual spawns with you, but they're sure handy for getting around!

Map Info

  • Nether and End portals and dimensions are disabled.
  • Hostile Mobs will not spawn outside of designated areas.
  • With the exception of a few minigames rooms, each Museum room is a 600x600 region copied from a previous revision's spawn.
