New Minecraft Server Blog

As the number of people on the server grows the amount of mods will too. Here will be the list of mods and updates to the system instead of getting emails about everything, there will be a nice simple area that you can look back at all the updates that have happened recently. There will probably be an update once a week. First I will start with, all the information for mod powers can usually be found inside the admin zone. If you are a offline player you will have less power then the online players. So to break down the Hierarchy on the server

Asher (Iggystlev) - Admin / Server
Richard (Klingbolt) - Lead Moderator
Jim (IbramGaunt00) - Moderator
The rest of you - Players
Any newcomers - No powers (will be whitelist banned eventually)

Maps
There has been a slight problem with generating the maps recently due to the large amount of render time paired with the size of the rendered file. The world size seems to have increases 900% in the last week to a size of 98Mb which brings the avrage render time to 30-45minutes and the rendered file size of 600Mb. I have also noticed that there are LARGE portions of the map that have just been jumped to and then nothing has been built, about 10% of the map has anything on it the other 90% is just trash. I hope to be able to change that soon. If this growth continues the jump feature will be disabled as a result. Soon I will have a download link for the 600Mb map because at this point in time it will not be hosted on a server :(.

Mobs
There are no more mobs on the map and your hearts now regenerate. This is much better because your stuff will not get destroyed and you don't have to worry about being killed.

Mod Powers
Everyone will be losing their mod powers very soon. The /give feature will probably come back eventually with certain restrictions on it. Like No bedrock. I also hope to be able to spawn colored wool.

Git Version control
The world is now under git version control. What does this mean? It means that every day or so the entire world will be backed up and we can revert to any point in time if something gets massively destroyed
