An alternative Minecraft server.

Avante tells me it's craftbukkit's causing the problem. Back to default .jar for now, and I've set the difficulty to "peaceful" because creepers are bull. Server should work now; but nothing else will. son of a bitch

... it's not actually peaceful.

Plus the nether was reset :wot:

I will do what I can to re-create the portal network when I have time. My first project is to turn my farm area into a greenhouse due to the sudden onset of winter :P

The nether got reset? Shit.

Nether got reset; apple & chocolate trees don't spawn fruit (unless they just got reset as normal trees?); snow goes from other side of Bob's house a little into the field across from deth fortress; somebody built a bit of Mario world 1-1 cute; have to wait for the YogBox to become compatible with 1.1 again; wheat trampling back in; sheep now come in all colors (red, green, blue...)... Those are the things I noticed.

Yeah, most of those are Craftbukkit plugins that are no longer functional until we get a stable CB build. Probably be a couple weeks.

The sheep thing I have no idea. The nether reset, I have no idea. The snow bit is because that particular biome got flipped -- blame 1.1 changing how seeds are generated. The Mario shit is Lyrtsch's fault and I'm going to kill him. Everything else is Craftbukkit.

Wheat trampling was fixed in 1.1, you can walk on it, but if you jump on it it will trample.

The sheep can now be dyed, and will always give that color afterwards(more useful than dying individual blocks)

apple & cocoa trees were actually dropping items too often, if you add it back later on see if you can reduced the frequency.

Yeah, I was dying the sheep before cutting the wool. Now that sheep regrow their wool, it appears to be remembering that.

In any case, I re-did the Nether portal network. All major destinations are available again. I'll do the stronghold portal again later. Here are some screenshots:

Sxerks's new portal, close then farther away:

Facing back towards base. Sxerks and I also made a path to the Nether fortress (different route). Just follow the pumkpin markers to the left of this image.

Server's down again :(

PS: I started updating the rail line yesterday. Got a fair chunk of it outfitted with booster rails (at a ratio of 16:1 regular to booster rails), but then I ran out of gold.

Should be okay now.

demagogue on 19/1/2012 at 02:50

The map reverted to the day before yesterday =V (edit: ...at least. I'm not sure exactly how far back). Thankfully I didn't do any building yesterday, but I made a map & filled it in, lit up a massive cave complex, & did some industrial scale mining... so kind of sucks it's gone but at least I didn't lose anything of real value.
