Reports of the Server’s Demise…

...Are greatly exaggerated.

Yea, a few weeks ago, people were sure that since 0 people were on the server was dying. Not so. Due to finals for most of our student-aged members, my own cross country move, and some other stuff, a lot of the regs had to take a break. Additionally, the weekly updates from the Mojang team have made it so a lot of people are on incompatible versions of the game for the server.

So, I'll be posting some stuff over the next few days, showing off what ppl have been up to, if you want something featured e-mail minecraftpisspants@gmail.com

Hey! 1.3 and New World…

Hey everyone, long time no e-mail! Just wanted to touch base about a few things; all this will be reflected on www.teh3l3m3nts.com

We've heard the cries, a lot of people want a fresh world for 1.3. However, we've always promised that the main map would stay since people have spent YEARS building there, so here's what we're gonna do: Move the main map to "Old_World" and the main nether to "Old_Nether", then create a new world and nether. We've come up with a scheme to preserve ALL warps and homes and have already tested it on a test server...the one thing we just can't make work automatically with our system is the nether portals.

To that end, we have a solution, but we have to do it manually. If you have a nether portal you want preserved, give us the xyz coordinates for the portal in the main world AND in the nether by e-mailing us here. Please do this before 1.3 comes out!

When 1.3 comes out, we'll upgrade as soon as we can with the new map. With new maps and new land...remember to be civilized with your builds :D The existing world is so spread out that we don't step on each others toes a lot, but play nice.

Finally, keep checking on www.teh3l3m3nts.com . Even though many people have moved on from minecraft, or to other servers, we have a dynamic online map AND a web-embedded online chat so you can keep in touch without even needing to log in. Come say hi!

P.S. Surf update: I've moved, I'm in california! We're staying with overjoyed_worm right now, so I don't have my computer, and we're sort of living out of a suitcase while we still try to get a house, but I'm still around!

SO…..slimes

The big tedious project I've been doing is removing space around the unbergrinder so that mobs can ONLY spawn inside. This was a mixed blessing...the problem is slimes and endermen spawn at will in the resulting cave. I sat afk overnight...this is what I came back to:



Aaaaaand...the slimeball aftermath:


Where is Surf?

So...I hate making self-indulgent non-MC related posts, but I get a bunch of e-mails asking if I quit minecraft. NOPE! I'm just going through some life stuff...so if you wanna see about that, read this post, otherwise CARRY ON!

Chat stuff.

So I've been fucking around with special chat characters...and I discovered some neatness.

This is sort of documented, but it's complicated. For each type of text, you have to type a special character before it, I only know the windows one. It's "&". Also...it looks like it only works for admins...looking into that.
