That's my worry. Of course, there might be an alternative occurrance - in the already generated areas, it may stick around... but newly generated areas may be the whitestone-with-obsidian-obelisk wasteland of The End. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess... but I'd hate for people to lose their stuff in skyland. Ah, the perils of Beta.

Downloading it now, I'll upload it to gasbanditry soon as that's done.

30 meg world, compressed down to 6 and change.
Last word on the wiki was that the only things The Dragon doesn't destroy are end(white)stone and obsidian. Bedrock is fair game (probably since there is no need for it in The End). No word on whether this means portals will be snuffed if The Dragon passes through them (since the purple stuff is technically a block).

Ooh, that brings up another issue - they're going to have to update multiverse to deal with "end" portals.
"Tonight's the night. And it's going to happen, again and again. It has to happen."
Well, hopefully updates still keep coming smoothly. But it does mean everything Gas mentioned will occur as soon as the server's updated to 1.0. No mods, but new update today. But still, Minecraft release day! Woot!
And the quote seemed appropriate, if totally the opposite of applicable to this game.

What's with all the bodies of water suddenly freezing over?
Well, a few things noticed from being on this morning.
- They changed North. What was East is now North. I don't know if they changed in-game maps, but you know how maps always had east as "top" of them? Well now it'll all line up. The reason I know this is because of the sun/moon (assuming it still sets in what is supposed to be west). So if you have any "direction" signs, beware. I don't know if they changed the direction of textures or not. There was a trick in the Nether that the prominent "L" in the Netherrack texture pointed north (or something), and so I wonder if textures rotated, or purely where the sun/moon are.
- You didn't re-pop the Nether. And strangely, it's back to pre-multiverse nether. So enclosed passages, structures, signs, etc. There's a few connectivity problems, such as portals not connected that were created since we had multiverse, but by default it's enclosed, and works fine. The problem: we need a fresh one for Nether Fortresses and such. But considering the files are there, maybe we can figure out a way once you re-pop it before multi to keep the "newest" one we'll be making.
- Doors have wonky sounds. I don't mean the new sounds, I mean how it plays them more than once, often, even on single doors (double doors are always double-sounded it seems).
- Squid are back, as expected.
- Beds work fine if you're the only one on, so I'll assume they'll also work with many on, as long as all are in bed, like it did before.

The sun is DEFINITELY off 90 degrees from before. The clouds continue to move the same direction in relation to ground fixtures, but while they used to always blow north, that direction is now west.
Yeah, I forgot to wipe the nether files for caprica. I can probably do that pretty easy, but back when I was multiversing I DID try to copy over the nether to the multiversed nether. It didn't work very well (it crashed the server). Unfortunately, I'm not sure we can avoid anything other than a re-re-wiped nether when multiverse comes back in.
Squids are back and plentiful as hell. I saw literally dozens in the water off my coast.
Endermen are back - and they can STILL move blocks around. I am assuming the types of blocks they can move have been reduced... but I know I've caught them carrying dirt.
There are some redstone difficulties with complex circuits that use glitches to operate - Drifter's deadly house is no longer deadly, though you can hear something happening when you open the door, the lava pit is never exposed.
All kinds of new sounds all over the place.
Enchanting and potion making. Animal husbandry. Whee!

See here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Enderman#Moving_blocks Basically, "natural" non-stone blocks can be moved, everything else can't. But here's the REAL craptacular point: they can take stuff from "beyond" one block in. So they can reach in behind a wall and take from one block behind it. That's pretty crappy, but be prepared for it if you don't have good fencing & lighting (both) in your home area. I'm thinking I may take a better look at Dirona and I's "home" area, as parts of our top layer are only covered by dirt, and not always 100% lit well.
So on the Nether, OK, I'll treat any pre-multiverse nether as "temporary" but we still need a re-pop.
no, it works, again...I fell in after I fixed it for him.

Tell us your username and I'll add you to the server's whitelist if you want.
How'd you fix it?
It's an enderman trap!
Now that I think about it, that would be pretty cool. We should build enderman traps or enderman specific mob grinders.
