Oh dear god. I was building for 9 hours straight yesterday and just had a look.......... All gone :(

If you want, I can help you out with that.

UPS is installed and live, tested as well, we are protected for up to 30~ on full load and the tower will shut down gracefully with 8 min of power left.

im sorry for all the issues durring the transfer but things should only get better from here out.

When you shut down the server, do you have the Minecraft program exit properly too?

when i shut them down i use the stop command. when windows shuts it down it stops the java gui first, which is the same as the stop  command from what ive read. 

note its supposed to shut down the gui first* i was not home for the last windows run shut down, and the only test i ever ran it worked properly allowing chunks to save in the command prompt.

okay the groups have been edited i need to know what issues arise the old ops list is removed but backed up. we are using bukkit permissions manager now.

please post any issues here, since no one was on when i made the change i could only test my account.

ill edit the file by hand once i have some known issues, or ill role the files back. the world will stay the same.

I've been doing a lot of fun side-projects as well besides the stuff on this list, so I consider it some good ground made.

tryinbg to update to 1.7 but cant seem to pull down the jar. will update when i have it

i hate to do this but ive got to get to bed, ive got another 12hours coming up tonight.

the 1.7 jar for server is not avalible the current offered download is 1.6.6...

i could get the client updated.... but just no server jar

It took me a while to update, myself.

1.7 was a pretty decent update, it looks like.


Pistons
The largest update to Minecraft in 1.7 is the addition of pistons. Pistons - the brainchild of Minecraft community member Hippoplatimus - rapidly surged in popularity over the past few months, and were then announced by Mojang that they would be added to the official game. Pistons are poised to change the way people build in Minecraft - we’ve already seen some amazing mechanisms come from the community, their creativity seemingly knowing no bounds.

Pistons allow the user to move blocks using redstone circuitry to control their action. There are two types of pistons: regular and sticky. Regular pistons will push a block when powered, and then retract when not powered.

Sticky pistons work in much the same way, but with one caveat: they’re sticky! These pistons will push a block away when powered, but pull the block back when retracted.

TNT Changes
TNT can no longer be triggered by clicking on it, which for most, should be a good thing! Instead, you must now use either redstone circuitry, or a good old fashioned flame to ignite the destructive block.

Shears
Shears allow you to cut the leaves off of trees in one quick swipe, as well as trim wool of sheep without killing them. Killing sheep will no longer give you wool however, just the death of a cute, blocky sheep on your conscious.

Stackable Fences
Fences have a welcome improvement for architects - they can now be stacked on top of one-another when placed in the world. This removes the need for complex block-place-remove routines, which until now, were the only way to stack fence posts vertically. Additionally, players may now place torches on top of fences.
