Spout

With the recent unknown server crash (which is running again). I would like to share with you one of the most amazing plugins that I have found so far. Though I have not tested it very much myself I hope that this plugin is able to be directly incorporated into minecraft itself once modding becomes standard. It is called Spout, with its partner client side plugin Spoutcraft. Spout allows you to mod even more about your server. The things it lets you mod are now increased to things that are rendered by the client computer. These things include item images, item names, menus, and more. It is quite an ingenious plugin and I hope to relay more information about how it works soon. The end result is that players who play on demeter who have the spoutcraft mod on the client will probably be able to do more things more easily then those who don't.

Server Crash

The server seems to have crashed, I am unsure what caused this and I will attempt to fix it when I return to the hardware in a couple hours. I will be focusing some more time on the server in the coming days.

Upgrading to 1.0

Our minecraft server runs off of the bukkit server software to implement mods. This usually means that the server upgrades are delayed. However, I have decided to begin testing out an unstable build of the bukkit minecraft server anyways. We will be starting with a mostly clean slate plugin wise. For the first few weeks world edit will still be available to everyone, the reason for this is so that people can move their cool things into a new 1.0 generated world. This coincides nicely with thanks giving break. If you are off campus and trying to access the server you can VPN into campus to access the server. I will also be adding a hamachi client eventually.

Upgrades to Non-Beta

The non-beta version of minecraft is coming out very soon (next weekend). Which means that we will be generating a new world soon. The old world will be saved and archived in but for all intensive purposes the world will be unaccessible. So we will be moving all the 'cool things' to the new generated world. This will hopefully happen weekend after next (26th and 27th) it all depends on weather bukkit releases a new version or not. After that there will be many changes to the underlying system of the server. The world will switch over to an economy server, it will still be easy to obtain items but you will not be able to [/i] them to yourself all the time unless is is freebee Friday. You will also be able to get items from killing mobs based on specific jobs that will be posted. The last thing is that sortals will for the most part be going away. You will be able to teleport via the chat to any recognized city. More information about this will come soon.

Server is Down

Due to the power outage, a fuse must have blown. The server has no power and I can't turn my lights on. I don't know when the power will be back but as soon as it is I will be running the server once again.

World 1.8

I have generated a new separate world for 1.8. This world will not be permanent and will be deleted and re-rendered when 1.9 is released. Keep playing.

A new map for the new hardware

A new map has been rendered and is open for your enjoyment. I have noticed that there are a few bugs that have popped up with the migration to 1.8.1 in game. If you find any please report them and I will try to fix them as soon as possible.
