August 1st

August 1st is the planned release of Minecraft 1.3. When that happens villagers will be able to trade you items. This will most likely cause our world shop structure to change to one where villagers run all of the shops. Hopefully I will find a good way to let them sell things to you using our economy system and not the "emerald" system (it is not very good). At that time the physical layout of the shop will get a redesign and will also be added into the physical plugin instead of just part of it existing in the plugin.

Updating the plugins

After looking over the plugin code I am starting to find that there are a few features that are still not implemented in our minecraft world that should be. I also see that some of the code is very poorly written and needs to be fixed. I will be working on fixing these problems in the coming weeks, also preparing for the 1.3 release of minecraft. Hopefully we will see a quick turnaround for either a new bukkit client or a mod-enabled minecraft server. I recently got a new personal machine that I will be able to record video with, hopefully there will be some video tutorials coming soon on how to use all of the mods.

Going Public!

Hello players! Today (hopefully) we will finally be moving the server out from behind the firewall. This means that anyone can connect to it at any time anywhere. It will be pretty cool! I cant wait to start playing a lot again. Unfortunately this means that the server will be going down for a short while today while it is moved and reconfigured.

We are back online, don't know exactly what happened with the IP stuff but everything is all working fine. Have fun!

Back up for a while!

Demetermine is back up and available for access, it is still behind a firewall so you will need to VPN into campus but in just a month it will be moved to a more permanent home where it can be accessed by the outside world.

The server is down

The server has been disconnected and unplugged. Here's hoping that it gets set back up soon!

Moving Day

Moving day is almost here, the server may be going down any time between now and tomorrow (Thursday the 17th)  It will probably only be down a few days because instead of waiting two weeks for it to reach its new home Andrew can provide space for it for a short while, this will still mean that the server will be temporarily down for a short while, and then it will go down once more when it gets moved into its final location. Depending on what happens I will make sure to keep you all informed.
