Ah that sounds like you have some plans if you would like some help with that you might see me on more. I like Minecraft for projects so being able to do something for the village (spawn point) would be pretty cool. Though I'd probably do something more frivolous haha.

Minecraft 1.4.4 is out, and I can't login to the server because it's out of date. >.<

You will have to wait until a 1.4.4 version of craftbukkit comes out.
This is why I like MultiMC. It has a built-in downgrader for situations like this.

We just had some mild server corruption due to the server freezing and unexpectedly shutting down. Several chunks and inventories edited in the last hour or so have been reverted to their state prior to the crash. It primarily affected GreenMan, but Quad may have been affected as well. If you were playing in the last few hours, make sure nothing has been reverted.

Yeah quad said all his digging was undone but nothing beyond that, so he got off relitively easy. As for the chunks that were reverted were kinda random as my project got holes in it and had to be redone.

I'll be sure to check my stuff then, though I haven't been able to get on for the last few days, so I doubt anything of mine is messed up.

If I'm white listed, I'll probably hop on the server when it's updated. I doubt I am whitelisted, though.

What version is it at? 1.4.2 still?

Yes, it is still 1.4.2, and only Cat or KYA can update it.

In other news, the server has crashed again at around 8:46pm est Thanksgiving Day, and the map seems to have reverted to how it was before Wednesday. I had finished the auto-cobble shop before my day and a half hiatus, but went back on to find it had reverted. Be sure to check to see if anything you've built recently has also reverted.

EDIT: Looking through the logs, the server has crashed on November 1 [6:02pm], and the crash on the 19th was due to an "OutOfMemoryError", basically the server ran out of memory.

Gonna add a quick rule. When you build a house, please put a sign near your front door so we know it's your house. Otherwise someone may tear it down thinking it was only a temporary house for shelter during the night.

I'm mainly talking about a dirt house right behind mine.

Definitely agreed. There's an unmarked house not far from mine.

The server has not been updated, so I can't mark my house with a sign until it is done so. If the server is still running Bukkit, I know a 1.4.5 beta build is ready to go at Bukkit.

Problem I see is Beta, doubt Cat wants to deal with a build that could cause more work and headaches because the bugs aren't guaranteed to be worked out.

Well I won't know I had assumed that with a new beta out we were running on a non beta but heck what do I know then. If that's assumintion is wrong then so be it, it is what is it. Cat isn't really one to want to deal with Minecraft at the moment and he has finals coming up next week, this week is study week. So best chance to get him to update, if I know him as well as I do, is in 2-4 weeks.

I have to agree that it's taking them much longer than usual to get a recommended build of 1.4.5 out. No idea why, but I assume it's due to how many changes 1.4.5 brought.

It's already been three weeks since the latest beta build came out.

Double post, I know, but this is somewhat relevant:

Okay so I found a random deep hole, went down into it in the pitch black, at the bottom was clearly exposed diamond. I got ten diamonds out of that. Dug around it and there were like five more three blocks to the left. Later I decided to dig a random hole straight down and when I hit layer 5 bedrock, I started digging outwards. I dug into diamond one block over. WOOT. I'm like a diamond magnet!

For those who want to play on the server and don't want to wait for an official 1.4.5 build release [which probably won't come due to 1.4.6 and 1.5 around the corner], MultiMC is one option. It allows you to install Minecraft anywhere on your computer, also letting you make several instances of Minecraft that won't affect your main installation at all [this is good for those of use who use different mods for different situations, or to just have several versions of vanilla available]. It also has a downgrade feature. allowing you to downgrade 1.4.5 to 1.4.2 for example.

MultiMC

The server just freaking rolled back and I lost ten diamonds, a whole double chest of things, a bunch of farming stuff, a whole farming patch, etc. WHAT THE HECK.

That's happened to me quite a few times. One of the reasons I don't build anything major right now.

Already lost a subway and cobble gen house due to rollbacks.

Have you checked what is the cause of the frequent rollbacks?

Most likely due to the fact the server is limited to using 2GB of RAM. The OS it runs on is 32-bit.

You would need to ask KYA that, as it is his own personal server...at least that's what I was told.

What diffrence does it make if it's a spare server or not? Just out of courisity to see your point of view. I've gotten rolled back once but nothing beyond that, so not to bad here. Need to set up a railway and would like to do that but getting the resourses may be more of the problem but we will see on that.

It's not that easy, Twiggy. Providing the server is the easy part. (KYA got a free one from where he works specifically to test out how it handles a Minecraft server.) Administrating it is a whole different story.

I know some of you folks aren't happy that we're sticking with an older, stable version, but if we didn't, these kinds of rollbacks would happen a heck of a lot more, or we wouldn't have any sense of permissions. If you want to complain that we're not up-to-date, read this before posting.

I suppose I need more patience, then.

That said... Maybe I should check out MultiMC for now and see if I can get in without ending up with total failure. It'd be also a great way to assess the performance of a 630Mm

A recommended build for 1.4.5 has finally been released...just in time for 1.4.6 to come out.

The server is saying that it's outdated for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Bukkit does have a 1.4.5 Recommended Build out right now, like Shade said, but that doesn't mean the server has been updated. It'll be updated once Cat or KYA or whoever updates it has enough free time to update the server. Auto-updating server would be kind of nice though.

New Plugin Safeguard Protocol

This has me very reluctant to update to the latest recommended build, as it would most likely break all our plugins. Basically if the plugin isn't seen as "safe", it won't run, which would mess things up like Lockette and, worst case, Multiverse.

Could always switch to be a vanilla server.

Just remember: A'bom is obsessed with Vanilla.

Anyway, I think Lockette is definitely the primary concern here, with Multiverse coming in second. All the alternatives to Lockette are lame and annoying. What's worse is once someone finds a way in, they could manage to take items slowly until the user finally discovers it. In any regards, they would have to move quite a few chests to a new hiding place. For someone like me or Shade, that could easily take an hour even with teleportation.

Oh, and don't forget that all new players would have to be watched over by an admin until they can be trusted. (Of course, inactive members can barely do anything on the server now because of the rule I put up.)

So I'll get banished again, why does it seem I get the jobs that disappear?

From what was said on here I can't really say that Vanillia server intrestest me in the slightest, for some of the reason Cat brough up, Lockette, mutiverse etc (yea no mention of the mod stuff).

I don't mind playing it on Vanilla, as long as there's things that keep gameplay interesting. While it's true that the x-ray exploit with glowstone could find most treasure hideouts, there are a few ways to get around it, like surrounding your treasure room with lava to make it look like a deep lava pool.

I wouldn't mind too much if we were forced to move to vanilla, though I would miss multiverse quite a bit. It lets us fine-tune MC the way we want it, like limiting PvP to certain worlds. I would also miss Old World a bit, and it would take quite a bit of fixing with the nethers, but not really anything really breaking.

If we were given a few real days to move our stuff before a change like this, it wouldn't hit as hard as suddenly changing it over [though still prefer to have the mods there for extra security, just in case].

I don't really see a need to move to a vanilla server, there are few issues and frankly I'm kinda tired if the server changing in one way or anouther because there is a slight problem. Particularly with the maps were we had a rapid change a while ago. It's really the users choice whether they upgrad MC or not, not that there aren't ways to get around such issues as Shade so politely pointed out before. Just my 2 cents some of it it's probably a little overdue.

I do have one more thing to say regarding this: If we move to Vanilla, we are not restarting the map unless it gets seriously corrupted. (Seriously, that alone made me and several others stop playing altogether until recently. I don't feel a reason to play if people just want a new map every three months.) If we get rid of the ability to access older maps whenever folks want a new map, consider my support gone.

Hello, I don't think I reported this too recently, but I am having some trouble.

I get this whenever I open the "Multiplayer" tab. I am not sure what this means for me, or what I can do to fix it :/)
Is it something that I can fix?

That's because it's still running on 1.4.2. Cat or KYA will have to update it to the latest version, as I don't have the permissions to.

I pestered KYA about permissions, so hopefully I can update it later today.

I am glad!
Pikachu has been taking care of my stuff for the months I wasn't allowed on XD
It will be nice to be back in my underground farm

Update successful. That should take care of it, hopefully.

Hm... I was getting hit by cave spiders earlier, but they weren't poisoning me. Was the server set back to Easy difficulty without notice? Or is this just a glitch of some sort? (I don't mean to be complaining, I just thought I should bring it to attention.)

I have fixed the difficulty issue. It is now back to Normal.

Hm, looks like two plugins are no longer working: Death Control and Lockette. (Please don't steal from anyone's chests.)

Some of the servers I use use the "/cprivate, /cpersist, /lock, /cmodify" etc codes to lock our chests and blocks.

I don't think we need Deathcontrol anyways, with the addition of gamrules. There is one rule called keepInventory that would work better.

Ad for stealing from chests, I believe that the requirements to be whitelisted is a good enough reason to trust that others won't steal from our chests.

I'm curious as to if anyone knows this. There is a gamerule called doMobGrief that disables block damage done by mobs. Does this also work with the Wither? As in would it keep the Wither from destroying or eating blocks?

May I ask why I am muted from the chat?

It is likely that we will see in the next few weeks the next big build for Minecraft. Jeb in a tweet told us how in early march it will be relases (in about two weeks)

Like to tweet:

Is this still a thing? I'd enjoy the chance to visit this server.
I don't know exactly how it's hosted, but do I need to post in the whitelist thread before I can join?

Nope. Just put your Minecraft name on your forum profile and the automatic whitelisting system will take care of the rest. Also, you have to be active enough on here to play on the server. I think they agreed on a 0.5 posts per day average. I don't know if they updated to 1.5 yet, as I have removed the server from my server list.

Hopefully soon, though the last update took two months, so there's no telling.

I have a bit of a problem. I've had my MC ID in my profile for a while now, and I still haven't been whitelisted by the server as of yet (my name shows up as [Blocked]TPM_23). Is there a way someone could manually whitelist me, or am I not qualified for server access, or... I just need some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance.

I don't even know what the status of the server is right now.

It's great- it updated to 1.4.7, but then another update came out. xD

Might as well wait for it to update again.

At this moment, Bukkit does have a 1.5.1 Beta Build ready, but I know how much Cat doesn't care for Beta builds, so I'm wasting my time here.

Again, just use the tool Shade recommended if you want to use the server. I'm not going to bother with non-stable builds.

Bukit is always going to be running behind so I understand that. I also unerstand people want the latest and greatest and play with the new stuff. I myself haven't updated till the server does so I can get on when I want with no extra hassle.

Something always breaks, and somebody always whines. Minecraft is a fleeting fancy for me, not a game I dedicate hours to every week. Using stable releases minimizes the whine about things breaking. I don't trust beta releases in a lot of things. (Just imagine if Microsoft allowed folks to download their beta patches. )

Considering how broken I've seen both Minecraft and Craftbukkit in the past, there's no telling what will break in either in the future. The resources KYA has dedicated to this game are insane when you think about it, and we're just a small server with no more than about four people at once. The game needs far more resources than it should. Minecraft's coding sucks. Why else would there be huge development in OptiFine HD?

No, I am not using any non-stable releases.

Technically the only mods keeping us from using vanilla is Lockett, Death Control and Multiverse. Death Control can easily be replaced by a gamerule, but not the other two.

Thanks for promoting me, Shade.

I think it would be a very good idea to list the current server version in both the title of the thread and in the first post.

The server has been updated to 1.5.1. Currently the only issue is Lockette isn't working. All other plugins are working properly.

EDIT: A derp on my part. The reason Lockette isn't working is because it was uninstalled. I should pay closer attention.

Lockette hasn't been working for a while; I'd thought it was taken out altogether, but I could very well be wrong.

Yeah, it was uninstalled awhile ago. I just derped and didn't look.

I'm not that technical with mapping software, but it seems our online map hasn't updated in a long time. Is there any way to fix this? Or does it not work with the latest release of Minecraft?

I have no idea how KYA installed that thing, but he has indeed told me that it is quite out of date and stopped working with a previous update.

As long as daily backups are still being made for all running worlds for at least a week, we have a safety net good enough in case of unexpected loss of content, whether by accident or vandalism. Right?

If the server operates on a whitelist, I doubt you'll need very tight controls. Pretty much the only stuff you need are quality-of-life tweaks for multiplayer.

It seems to be working correctly, but could someone help me?

It says I'm not whitelisted on this server, could someone please look into that?

Well, the server went offline yet again. I never see anyone using it, I have no idea when it's ever up to date, and it sometimes likes to delete a couple hours of progress, so I'm considering shutting it down. Opinions?

Personally I don't want it to because of the stuff I created on the server and I like the brief playing with others (though I seem to get online when no one else is on). As for the hours of progress I've had it recently delete 3 days worth of building so I can't argue with that. Though I rather not have it gone, but if it has to go it has to go.
