UPDATE: Surf here, still on vacation in Orlando, just checked on bukkit, still not updated. I'll be home late Saturday night, hopefully it'll be updated soon!

TODAY IS THE DAY! Minecraft 1.0!

Alpha and beta players will get the game for free of course.

We won't be updating the server to 1.0 until bukkit is out. Make sure to back up your 1.8.1 files (Windows and Linux) to play on the server until we update...you can switch back-and-forth between versions. Here's how to find the files that need to be backed up:

• In Linux: ~/.minecraft
• In Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/.minecraft
• In Windows 7: C:/Users/[USERNAME]/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft
• In OSX: Mac Version of 1.8.1--> /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Per the vote...main world will be unchanged, update world will be reset (as well as that shithole noob world), and 1.0 world will be created as a permanent world at the official game release state.

As always, we are at the mercy of Bukkit. Here's their development status (red dot = unstable build, blue dot = stable build, green star = recommended build...we're only allowed to install recommended builds). Here's Bukkit's 1.0 Discussion. Finally, we'll need to make sure all our plugins work...that may take some time because there's a lot and will be tons of changes. Just keep checking here :)

finally everyone spawn is done here is some pictures, btw HUGE THANKS TO PIRATE06, when you see him in game give him a big hug. Also thank you to everyone who built a place.

hi guys its pirate here,

i want to make a list in spawn showing co-ordinates for the 7 most outstanding creations on the server

so if you feel like something you have built should be on this list send some screenshots (at least one shot with co-ords)

to rhys.george@live.co.uk

me and surf will look over these and we will make a list shortly. Thanks guys

UPDATE: Unbroken! GO PLAY!

Server is broken, ticket submitted, dunno why, check here for updates.

Dammit. The megagrinder is working wonderfully. Too wonderfully. The rate of mob spawning is off the chain, and all items are getting where they need to go. Carefully. In masterfully designed channels. Which endermen hate.

So when the endermen take out a block at the bottom of a channel, it makes a waterfall that cascades down. When this happens, the mob drop channels get stuck and the mobs don't die. Thousands of them. Causing unfixable lag.

That's happening on every floor, in all of the 9 holes. By my count, there's roughly 1600 mobs stuck in the grinder right now. I will continue to use creative mode to repair it...until endermen are nerfed per notch's design. SORRY!
