Yay, RRU is back. Time to use that opportunity to talk about Minecraft again^^.
I occasionally visit the server, but I can't remember, when I ever saw another player on it (I can only think of some landscape activity from shadow322 around the spawn and that was many months ago), which makes the situation kinda dull. Maybe a meeting (once in while (e.g. every few weeks)) to build a project for example would bring a bit more activity to it.
In other news: I tried to install a mod called Optifine to improve the optics & performance of the game and installed a shader pack* recommended by Shadowblaze and I have to say, that it looks really cool. Maybe there to needs to be a color change in a file to make the water look less like tar (since it's basicly black, when you look on it XD), but that's it (except for the lighting looking a bit banded).

It may be a few years old, but it's still nice/works and in comparison to some other shader packs the contrast between day and night or day and artificial lighting isn't too big.
Here is my own example:
P.S.: A few months ago I heard about this anarchy server called 2b2t. I played a bit on it, but it was really boring since my main action consisted out of just walking away from spawn to avoid too much action at spawn. I actually died once**, but that was due to me using the suicide command since I got stuck due to server lag (which may be the actual endboss in LegoDigitalDesigner of this server).
**when you ignore my two or three deaths on the maintenance server, which was basicly a restarted world, that only lasted for a short time
