Performance Tweeks
Hey all, I’ve made several changes to the server that should speed things up and/or improve stability (hopefully no more freezes on restart). So, happy mining! If you run into any issues, email me at *protected email*. Kyle
Gettin’ Crafty
Hey guys! Yep, I’m still alive. My laptop recently died (bad motherboard), so I haven’t been able to play much. However, I just got it back, and until the next time I have to send it in I should be around much more! I’ve started things off by adding in CraftBook, an awesome plugin with [...]
Ch-Ch-Changes
Hello again everyone! The server has changed quite a bit overnight, so I thought it may be good to give a nice list here of everything that has changed recently or will change over the next day or two. Starting late last night, we have: Grief Prevention is now our primary means of, well, preventing [...]
New Year, New World
Hey e’erbody! I know everyone’s been a bit antsy to get going on the new world (or at least to know what we’re going to do), so here’s a quick rundown of what’s going on: Map: The new world will use a custom generator (still similar to vanilla) and have a size of 8 km [...]
Revamp or Refresh? Tell Us What You Want!
Hey everyone! You may have noticed already, but over in the forums there’s a pretty active discussion going on regarding several major changes to the server, the most far-reaching of which would be the creation of a new map. So, if you want your voice heard, head on over to the forum thread! My thoughts [...]
Host Downtime
Hey all, For those who are wondering what happened to the server over the weekend, here’s what’s up: our server host (SimpleNode) had some pretty severe hard drive failure—so severe, in fact, that we lost everything stored on the server. Thankfully, I did have some remote backups made in case we ran into an emergency [...]
This Post is Pretty Scary
Hello all, So the Pretty Scary Update is almost here, and I know I’m excited at least! With it coming out tomorrow, Amdod thought everyone would like to know how we’re going to handle 1.4 (thanks Amdod!), so here’s a quick rundown: The map will not be wiped. Swamp huts will have to wait until [...]
Changin’ Times
Hello again! I just swapped out our official CraftBukkit build with the faster Spigot. If you run into any trouble, let me know! Also, I’m looking at switching to a new server host sometime this weekend, so we may have some downtime; I’ll let you know ahead of time if it looks likely. Anyway, I [...]
Lag Issues
Hey guys, I know we’ve been having a lot of lag spikes lately, but they seem to be on-and-off. For those who are interested, they seem to be caused by the new update, and not our host. While there is a workaround, it unfortunately causes a different bug to become even more troublesome, so we’re [...]
Bukkit Is Up
Hey everyone! I’ve put in the new Bukkit installation, so we should be set to go! Note that a couple plugins (namely MagicCarpet, Citizens, and SimpleReserve) aren’t updated, so those features will return shortly. The world is 15,000 by 15,000 blocks, with spawn at 200 by 200 blocks, so run for a while and good [...]
