Start with a fresh jar. As I found out the hard way something in this last update sporked a few things.



Tried that, deleted the whole thing and redownloaded. =]

I like it. Going to add it and tweak it out a bit.

Anyone wanting to build a 'draw bridge' should look into using the Piston Mod.


http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=247686&f=1032


I used to build a bridge across my lava moat. Works great. Only problem is any blocks other than gravel or sand stay up when they are pushed up. I'm using without any blocks on top. Flip the switch to activate the pistons and the heads rise out of the lava. Flip it again and they sink back into the lava.


Going to try to build a TNT firing canons to put in my castle towers tonight using the pistons.

I believe actual pistons are on for the next update, may be a later one but fairly certain it is next official update. 1.5 was supposed to be during the week but they ran into a hitch and didn't want to do it on a Friday and mess up the weekend in the event a bug sneaks in.

Yeah my understanding was pistons were going official too. It'll be a nice addition.

Yep, in next update from what I've read. Wish I was better at laying out complex redstone circuits. As it is my lava moat bridge is limited to a single row, I had wanted to do 3 wide or even something a little more epic like this:

OK server is stable on 1.4 with the following...

Simplified warps (/warp <name> with all the old ones imported. There are a freaking ton of them (350+) though so will be cleaning them out. Due to how they got out of control last time if you need one set ask a mod. Only mods can make new ones (/setwarp <name> now.

Simplified home just /sethome and /home now. No invites or public/private or warping to other homes. I imported the old homes though so you can still get home after the update.

Added a drop tables mod that allows me to tweak what drops (thanks Sneezy). Just loaded it with the config file Sneezy was using. Might tweak it later though to suit the server better. The big ones are you can recover glass now instead of breaking it and you can recover glowblocks instead of them turning to dust.

There are three worlds now...

world - the default world we started on. Most homes, warps, etc point here and spawn is still set to the tower here.

newhome - a totally new normal world map. Feel free to carve out a claim on it or just explore to see the biomes and whatnot as they should be. Mostly did this since our old map was mostly generated when the map generator was hosed. Tons of poorly matched up regions and terrain errors. To access the new world use /warp newhome

nether - it's the nether. Mainly for farming those goods you can't get elsewhere. The big ones being firerock since wood burn has been fixed and glowstones as an alternative light source. To access the nether use /warp nether

Warps and home are both world aware. If you are in the nether and /home you will portal between maps and return to your home. If a mod sets up a warp for you in the new world, or you setup your home there, jumping back and forth is as simple as using a warp that is set on another map.

I'm looking into world aware portals but haven't found one I like yet. In the meantime our portal network is down and we have to rely on warps to get around.

LWC is still in and working. It has some new features but is backwards compatible so your chests should still be properly secured. I haven't tested it yet to see if the bug between it and worldguard has been fixed so we can use the community chests but will soon. Would be nice to dump stuff in the community chests at spawn so other people can use them.

The basic admin/mod stuff is mostly still in and working the same... permissions, limited/no build access for guests, private land ownership, etc. I've also added creaturebox which is a spawn manager/enhancer. Have Hanns doing some testing with some spawners I made him and think it will be a nice addition to our creative tools. I want to limit them though so they don't become a farming tool. I have no problem setting them up for people but the spawn will be set relatively slow so you can't just sit there and milk it.

Oh and testing a new feature on one of the plugins I have made it so you have to kill something for it to drop loot. I realize it breaks the monster farms but I wanted to play with it and see how it worked so for now it is on.

Anyway, any trouble with the new configuration or specifically with your character or property let me or a mod know and we will try to sort it out for you.

The 'scratch that' post (could have sworn I came back to edit it...lol)

Our Res room PC have MC loaded, one of the Res' poked her head into my office to tell me Mo Creatures was finally up to date. So I posted it was.....it wasn't. I did a quick edit (was on phone with HO) so folks that love it wouldn't get excited then be disappointed.
