Hey everyone,

Bouke here, I've done some testing in the new snapshots for 1.5, The Redstoneupdate and I've come to some serious conclusions. As for the snapshot 13W01b ALL BUD's dont work or are not reliable. So if you have a redstone contraption relying on BUD's (that includes redstonelamp BUD's and piston BUD's) try to rebuild them offline in the new snapshot to see if they still work or try to fix them.

I thought it was important to inform you well before the update so, you have enough time to think of a solution.

Love, BoukeBrink

PS, this(below) still works

Legen: P= Piston, B= Block, RS= Redstone, L=Redstone source

I got a bunch of e-mails asking if I was dead. Not dead...playing skyrim! :)

I'm severely, severely addicted. 5+ hours a night. I will be back though...to give you an idea of where I'm at, look at this checklist I built: Checklist

Just to fill you in, I have 6 lovely houses, 2 more in construction, I have married my beautiful wife Aela the Huntress and we've adopted a daughter (Runa Fair-Shield) and are considering adopting a son. I have earned the title of Thane in 9 holds, am the Harbinger of the Companions, Guild Master of the Thieves Guild, Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, and have fully realized my identity as the Dragonborn as I defeated Aludin in the plane of Sovngarde.

As you all have notice the server is not available. Naturally Surf decided it would be a great time to go visit family in Southern California so he can't manually reset the server. I will be able to manually reset the server this evening after I get off work at 8pm PST. In the mean time find something else to do and hopefully we will be up and running tonight.

Update: Server is now up

Update 2: It appears the reboot has caused people to lose some items. Please list the items and quantities you were missing in the comments. Do no list items you did not have!!!

THe server is running in a blank world on my test machine right now. Why? Read below! Feel free to fuck around in this dummy map.

Unstable bukkit is causing dramatic world corruption errors. Working on a fix, may take some time, we'll be offline for a while. CHeck here for updates.

Since everyone deserves more info: Bukkit is having a problem where the cached chunk isn't getting written to the save, so it's reloading from the save, with the wrong coords, then writing that back. That's balls. So there's a utility to fix this, linked here: Fenixin which I am running...which on a world our size oculd take HOURS.

UPDATE: After like 32 hours, I got the following result:

4 fixed chunks of a total of 4 wrong located chunks


Then, I booted it up, logged in...and got this:

Right back where we started, broken chunks. I don't know what to do, elite base is all fucked. It's for sure the beta bukkit. I think what'll have to happen is when RB comes out, we'll have to run this again and re-try to fix it...until then I'll look at manually editing the region files to fix it since the coords ARE there, pulling from a backup from like Nov 5. I'm sorry this is happening, and there's no clean fix for it.

I'm gonna try one more thing...in case that backup # 1000 had the bad chunk errors already written, I'm gonna run this one more time with the oldest backup we have, see if it fixes it. Stay tuned...I figured how to multi-thread it so it'll go faster.
