Hey guys, it's Morate. I'm starting a letter system where a group of letters will be delivered to one server member/admin/owner each week, on Thursday. (I picked Thursday because it sucks and maybe getting a few nice letters will prevent somebody's suicide.) Here's how it will work: E-mail your letter to the specified person to me exactly as you want it to show. My e-mail is grahamcfoster@gmail.com. As I get the letters, I will add them to a draft that will be timed to upload on Thursday. (LIKE A BOMB. They always explode on Thursday. One of the many reasons Thursday sucks.) I will NOT accept letters on or after Thursday. We will send letters to a different person each week. The first week will be... drumroll, please... Surf. It will be sent on the Thursday after Thanksgiving. Again, the e-mail is grahamcfoster@gmail.com. I will pick the one letter I think is the best (for whatever reason) and make it bold.Surf, if you don't mind, could you help me complete the Google Docs list I shared with teh3l3m3nts? It's self-explanatory. Thanks guys! See ya in 1.0!

P.S. Be sure to include your username. No anonymous crap. I CAN and WILL get your name. If I can't, I won't send your letter.

heres a video of our celebration for minecraft 1.0!

rember to back up your files before updating!

Whose website shows up in google searches even before minecraft forums? OURS DOES :D

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 :)
