NEWS!!!

new right has been granted wand/save command from world edit to all mods and up, no load yet, but in the unlikely event of a bsod you can save your work at your pleasure, server is still backed up once a day in the early am automatically and once by hand in the pm. i will clear the save cache once a week unless it is abused in which case it may go away.

slimes are back so sticky pistons go


new group Supermoderator this group will be our world edit non admin group. has no new members yet nor are its rights finished, i frankly am not familiar enough with world edit to grant rights to this group but tone should be adding them soon or if he can get a full list that will be needed i will add them to the group.

still trying to hunt down the bug that is blocking us from fixing the spawn.         FIXED was an issue with bukkit and not the plug in, man what a pain.

@*also after our failed attempt new contest to name the server*@

winner will get rights to message of the week for 6 weeks, to be updated every Sunday and a promotion in the server.... also maybe a tshirt ..... or a creeper...
rules and prizes subject to change without notice, at my will bwahahahaha

I reiterate my nomination:

Hakubi

If I get a second hat in the ring:

World 1-1 (for the regular map, World 1-2 for the Nether obviously)

I vote that we come up with a unique server name, but I do like the idea of calling the overworld World 1-1 with the nether as 1-2.

Given the frozen nature of a large percentage of the main lands, and the fact that almost all the architecture has a European design to it, something with a north European feel seems more fitting IMO. Just fits the atmosphere.

Which is why my vote goes for Rhodinia.

I say: "Terra Incognita"

Hey, who are you in Minecraft? I probably see you all the time, but I don't think it's been established what your MC IGN is.

So, I was looking into the Adventure update (currently planned as Beta 1.8), and it looks a lot more impressive than I'd originally expected.

First off, don't expect it to release anytime within the next eternity. It's expected not to release until after PAX, which happens in almost a month and a half.

That means two things. One, it's probably going to be a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE update... probably the biggest Minecraft has had since survival, and it's sounding like it'll actually be even bigger than that update.

Two, it means that they very possibly will do interim updates with smaller amounts of new content to keep people satisfied with new content in the meanwhile.

At the current moment in time, here are the announced new features for the Adventure update:

- NPC villages
- Randomly generated dungeons
- New biome code
- Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)
- Critical hits
- Sprinting
- More farming options

And here are two screenshots from it:





The first screenshot seems meh, but the second looks badass. And one big thing it shows is a new type of block! Cracked cobblestone.

I'm really excited about the reintroduction of Creative mode. By what it says, it sounds like ops will be able to switch themselves over to creative in the middle of a game so they can have more freedom with building. No need to spawn a million blocks anymore - creative mode gives you nearly instant access to an infinite supply of every single block!

Yes, the adventure update will be gigantic.

NIBIRU.

Nibiru, is the name ancient Babylonians gave to a heavenly body associated with their chief deity, Marduk. According to ancient Sumerian tablets, it also referred to a mysterious Planet X

My other pagoda, with a more traditional and peaceful design. I'm not certain I'm keeping it here though. I may relocate it to another point on the other side of the city.

My Minecraft name is Leunamus.

Guess I haven't seen you around...
