MINECRAFT 1.0 IS COMING OUT THIS WEEK! Can you believe it? Personally, I've been with this server since September 2010, and some people have been here longer :o.

First, let me say this. No matter what, the current main map will still be around. I've personally spent almost a year building there, it's not gonna POOF go away. However, we have an opportunity with 1.0...We could move Main world to another world (like Legacy_2.0_Map) ans make Main World fresh, or continue on the path we have with Update World and keep new chunks there. Also, we could create a more permanant Update world called like 1.0 World, which is like update world but we won't reset it (so, in theory, since update world will still be there, there would be 2 Minecraft 1.0 Maps). Vote on that below.

EVEN THOUGH this is 1.0...we're still following the normal update procedures. We won't be updating the server until bukkit is ready to go. I think this won't be an issue...most people will play single player for a while (I actually expect multiplayer attendance to DROP while ppl play single player, then shoot up when veterans come back after beating single player and being interested in the game again.) Make sure to back up your game files so you can go between versions.

LAST THING: No matter what, update world will be reset. Get your stuff out of there. THIS IS YOUR DUE WARNING! Spread the word about that.

It was just an average day on teh3l3m3nts... I was working on my Sky Coaster, and Kirby was collecting stuff from the mob grinder. All of the sudden, Kirby told me to go to the grinder, so I did. This is what I saw:

LOOKIT! A SQUID!

The mob grinder spawned a squid! Isn't this the best thing ever? I mean, what are the odds? Well, I'm off to kill the squid now. Just thought you guys would like this!

UPDATE:

Apparently, it spawns squids a LOT. Sometimes it even gets glitchy and tentacles start reaching out of the walls.

Hello everyone rtkermit here, the full game of minecraft is coming out very soon. So as you know we have multiple maps, one of them is the update map, that every time an update comes out we update the map to the latest version. Since this will be the final big update in minecraft we can move to the update world without losing our work. This does not mean you will have to abandon the current map we use, that will actually still be our main world. I wanted to get a list together of people who will help me create the new spawn in the update world. So if you could please just comment and say that you want to help and any ideas you have.

if you missed the trial today then never fear, trials will now be recorded and uploaded to youtube, heres the link

see post below for result...

UPDATE: Trial 11/10 morning, 8AM Eastern Time, BE THERE :D

READ THE WHOLE POST NEW EVIDENCE INCLUDED

VERDICT HANDED DOWN: Based on the evidence provided by cncr04s, we can see that many ppl opened the chest including known griefers. Sb was right in that tubblebunk opened it, and it's really hard to find specific things in the logs because they're HUGE. cncr has a script that can crawl logs a bit easier, so he was able to find more evidence more quickly. Based on that, tubblebunk can't be held guilty alone for anything other than OPENING the chest. We brought up that he's been accused before of griefing, but he came to us proactively and asked for the compromised acct to be banned. Weighing the evidence, we found him NOT GUILTY and untarded him. We gave him a stern warning tho, as this is the 2nd accusation, if there's another stealing and his name is tied to the chest suspicions are going to be raised. We told him to keep his nose clean and his head down.

Tubbellebunk (a.k.a. Premium) was banned on November the 5th under suspicion of buglary and destruction of property. The following is evidence of the theft.
