So the new minecraft head honcho says next priority is performance increases, especially for vanilla servers, and a modding API. Please, for the love of GOD. An official modding API would be so very, very nice... provided it has all the flexibility and power of current 3rd party APIs.

(oh, and canary finally got their 1.8.1 version out on november 15th. You know, 3 days before release 1.0 came out).

Someone needs to take that Canary in to a mineshaft and let nature take its course.

The funny part is, over at their forum? Everything's still posting along as if nothing is out of the ordinary. It's like... visiting the Amish. "We have nae need fer ye potions and enchantments, englishe."

If they paint little 16x16 pixel textures on legos... could it be the gateway to a lego-based minecraft TABLETOP game?

If those slugabeds at bukkit ever get around to putting out a new recommended build, I've got an idea for a couple more plugins to add in. Hawkeye and iConomy, for starters... though unless I can figure out a way to clear inventory when leaving creativeland, iConomy's a non-starter.

The new Bukkit is out, and I've updated our server. All the plugins you know and love are back in operation, and your warps even made it through intact!
Now for the bad news -
Skyworld can't be brought back as a sky world any more, since the "skylands" generation method no longer exists ("The End" replaced it). I can bring it back as a "normal" map but I'm not sure what that will do to it... at the very least, new chunks will be generated as 64-meter high cliffs. Plus, if skylands goes corrupted by my monkeying with it, I currently have no backup.
I'm figuring out some other stuff too, but by and large, we're back in business.

Good fences make for good neighbors, so I've added the LWC addon to our server. This allows you to make chests, doors, furnaces and dispensers "private" and specify who is allowed to use them.
To make a chest or door or whatever locked, enter the command
/cprivate
and then punch the object.
to give someone else access to it, enter
/cmodify (friend's name)
and then punch it again.
to remove access,
/cmodify -(friend's name)
and punch it. note the "minus" in front of the name.

Nice.

What's the word on Nether generation?
Click to expand...
Nether has been generated anew, as has AdventureLand - looking for the new content, I'd suggest starting with those two!

Creativeland is being a biyatch even over and above inventory concerns ... I may just settle for getting it working again as it was rather than try to segregate it's inventory... chikii pointed out to me in a server this small iConomy probably wouldn't be all that much use, especially when we all are so established and have our reserves on Ragnar to draw from.

I'm submitting a ticket to get MySql support on the server (it IS available, but you have to ask them to enable it for you), so that I can get hawkeye working. Hawkeye will track block changes and let admins roll back damage in an area/radius. After that, I might feel up to creating separate ranks of guests and members (which in bukkit is a MUCH bigger job than it was in hMod/Canary, unfortunately) - with the eventual hope of being able to run without a whitelist in a secure fashion. That would make it easier to get fresh blood, I think.

Also I made a slight change on ragnar - the netherportal under central transit is now the portal back to caprica.

Turns out it's not my internet, multiplay's SA4 server (which hosts our virtual server) has taken a dump. They've acknowledged it and are working on it.

Commands work fine, more or less. Can't get to the Nether; I start warping, but then end up right back in Caprica. Also, the warp gate to Ragnar isn't active, nor am I able to use /warp to get to Ragnar.

had to slap some permissions off and back on again, but it seems to be working now. Give it another try please.

Ok, verified all that is working. I've now also gotten Hawkeye working. Admins can now track (and roll back) pretty much all changes to the land ... block placing, block breaking, even chest transactions. Very strong for anti-grief.

Ok, I've managed to configure the server now such that we don't need a whitelist anymore, and can even publicly advertise it if we want. Anyone can join the server and look, but they can't build or dig until I promote them to full "user."

Somehow in all the mess, Caprica's seed got changed I think... snowbound areas have been forming/melting all day today.

Amazing how many more resources are used with plugins. Even idling cpu usage and idling ram use doubles.

1) switch from vanilla to bukkit, huge spikes are generation of nether and adventureland maps
2) Server goes offline due to problems at data center for a while.
3) For some reason, even after everyone has logged off, cpu use continues to climb until server crashes.
