The server doesn't really run on this, but that would be funny :)

Announcements / Recent lag and cause, help needed.
April 03, 2017, 10:23:20 am
It's sucked lately.  I know.

I've been out of town, but am back now.  And I've finally figured out the problem.  There was / is a dead hard drive in the raid array that the server runs on.  I've kicked it out for now and performance should be normal now.  Though, this does require a replacement.  I'm running raid6 so I can handle two drive failures at the same time without any data loss.

I've got amazon prime and can have one in a couple days with no issue.  Only problem is that I'm currently rather broke.  A new cheap drive would be $60, but I'd prefer to get one a better than that for faster performance.  So, $90.

Small donations would be welcome to help offset the cost.  $5 or $10 from a few people would really make a difference.  My paypal address is xpurple@xpurple.com

If you choose to donate then thank you.  But do not feel obligated to do so.

Announcements / Out of town
March 24, 2017, 04:19:01 pm
I will be out of town for this weekend.  It's the start of my busy season for travel.

If you need anything there are other mods and I will have my phone on me and tend to have a laptop somewhat nearby.

Announcements / Welcome our new mod!
March 06, 2017, 12:39:11 am
I'd like to announce that after much internal debate, FishSandwich has been added to the mod team.  His schedule fits in well with the rest of ours to provide easier access to a mod when needed.

If there are any questions please post them here.

Thanks

Announcements / Map size
February 09, 2017, 01:30:29 am
Since the 1.11.2 update should we increase the map size?

Thoughts?  I'm happy to do it.

Announcements / 1.11.2
February 09, 2017, 01:29:46 am
The world has been updated to 1.11.2 and seems to be working without any issues.

This means new blocks, new structures, new mobs and new items!

You may have to fix your autofarms though, as some of them rely on various bugs to operate.  If those bugs were fixed you will have to find a new solution.

As for the previous version?  I have a backup in case there are any issues.  Please report any problems you have to me directly.

And as for not having a vote?  I've been promising this for a while now and finally got around to it.

Enjoy!

Announcements / Battery backup to be restored!
January 23, 2017, 03:13:30 am
The batteries finally came in the the UPS and I'll be putting those in later tonight.  Not sure exactly when, but at about 11:00CST.

Downtime will be less than half an hour.  Nothing will change other than a working battery backup again!

Announcements / Server refresh
December 10, 2016, 05:14:57 pm
I've moved the server to a new VM which may help.  Let me know if there are any issues.

Note that the map is current, no changes.

Announcements / Possible rollback?
December 05, 2016, 12:46:10 pm
There have been worries about a possible rollback.  For the moment this is not a worry.

If you notice any sort of world corruption, let me know right away.

As for what's going on.  The UPS that runs the server has failed caused unexpected power loss and cleared a few players inventories.  This seems to be a very local issue that did not effect more than a few people.

If you are having issues, post here and we will get it resolved.

Claim your land / Missing markers
November 30, 2016, 11:10:11 am
I know that we are missing markers, but sadly don't know who needs what.  If you have a marker that needs to be put down and already have a claim, let us know here and we will get it taken care of.

Thanks!

Introduce Yourself / Someone has to start
November 27, 2016, 08:45:05 pm
I'm a computer geek, ham radio operator and try to be a jack of all trades.  Oh, and I guess I run the server now.

I like building automated systems for item generation and exploring.  I freaking love exploring.

Just like the previous incarnation, this server has a dynamic map. Note that it's currently re-rendering, so it won't be complete for a few days.

    In the case of excessive animals/mobs, they will be removed and a sign will be left to let you know, and as a warning.
     a. Excessive number of animals which drops TPS significantly when chunks loaded.
     b. Excessive number of mobs in mob grinders which drops TPS significantly when chunks loaded.
     c. Any other actions that drops TPS significantly when chunks loaded.

5. No cheating client-side mods, including but not limited to:

CLAIMS:
To claim land you must post in the Claim Your Land board and specify the location with an image showing a "circle" drawn around the area you want to claim.  No "maximum" claim size is set, but don't be a dick.  Claims in general will be assumed to be 256 blocks in every direction from the centre point unless otherwise specified.  If moving in right next to another player, ask first.  They may not want company.  The map is large enough that we should not have deal with these sorts of disputes.  Also, you may build outside your claim.  Just don't make a mess or mess with anyone else's stuff.

Claims - Extra
Each player may have one claim.  Community claims are also allowed, as are special cases such as statues, parks, giant dick towers or whatever on a case by case basis.

More will follow as the need comes up, but lets keep this simple.

Announcements / New server!
November 27, 2016, 01:13:24 am
Just as a note, the new server goes live tomorrow, in less than 24 hours.  If you have trouble getting on due to DNS issues you will need to point your minecraft client to test.imgurcraft.com.

The new server is still 1.10 for now.  Make sure your client is set to that version to connect.
