What?! Another Minecraft Release? Minecraft 1.3.2 ...

BREAKING NEWS!  --- You can log in with 1.3.2!  It doesn't kick you out!  This is very good news.

Yes, there is yet another Minecraft release.  Sometime between this morning when I logged in and this afternoon Mojang shipped another Minecraft release.

It is a pretty small release with only 3 items on it:

Minecraft 1.3.2
+ Added sideways logs in trees 
* Fixed a bug that caused players to fall out of the world when going into the Nether 
* Fixed a bug that caused random suffocation damage in water

I guess they determined that these were imporant enough to kick out immediately, especially the bug squashes.  Although it makes me nervous that they left Herobrine in.

But this means the usual problems with multi-player.  Can't upgrade it until we get a Bukkit version.  Something tells me that Bukkit will just be ported over to this new version fairly quick due to the low number of changes that really didn't affect any big portions of gameplay, but yet, we must still wait.

If you want to play on the server, you'll need to keep your install at 1.3.1.  If you upgrade to 1.3.2 you will download another minecraft.jar, so you will need to run MCPatcher again if you're using more detailed texture packs.

I'll keep an eye on it and keep you updated.

Map Update!

I'm uploading a new version of our map right NOW.  Which means it'll be available tomorrow morning, probably (it is quite huge).

There are a lot of new constructions around, and some people have been very curious, and exploring far and wide.

See if you can find your favorite building on the map.. :)  Or a new place to discover!

The link to the map is: http://notnats.com/Map/map.html

Edit:  Oh yeah, this is going to take a while.  This is at about midnight:


Still 57,374 files to go... but 63,655 have been uploaded.. Like I said... it's a big map.

The Map's Back

Our map is back.  The one that has everything built up.

However, I did lose the warps.. :/   Turns out they're kept in a directory I didn't expect when I was trying to get the temporary map running.

If you need a warp, /mail me the coordinates.  With 1.3.1 you can port to coordinates now, so they should be easy to set up once you find the places again.

I added some of the warps back that I remembered.

Server is up - With Temporary Map

I couldn't get Bukkit and Essentials to play nice together.  And I think I may have lost our warps from our main map in the process.

Since I don't want to run our main map without the typical permissions, and protection from accidental creeper griefing I've loaded our old friend the temporary map back onto the server.

This is the same temporary map that we used the last time we were in this type of a situation, so there are buildings around.

There are NO protections on this map.  Build whatever you want, but remember this is a fleeting world.

There is also NO creative mode on this map, either.  This is pure survival.

We'll get the awesome map back online as soon as it can be adequately protected.   Until then, have fun with 1.3.1!


Minecraft 1.3.1 is NOT running on the server!

Okay, the title used to be Minecraft 1.3.1 is now running on the server, but I had to change it.

But we are using a development build for Bukkit.  What's that mean?  Oh, maybe some things don't work exactly the way they did.

If something is different than the way it used to work, just chalk it up to the fact that it's a new version and things are changing.  I won't be able to 'fix' those kinds of things.

Hopefully it will be mostly stable.  Yay!  Sideways logs!


Update: Yeah, there are some errors during load, so some stuff is probably not going to work but it might just be EssentialsChat.

Update #2: Here is the new MCPatcher: http://adf.ly/2hP31

Update #3: Here is the new Misa's Texture Pack (which is the one I use): http://adf.ly/2Hhy1

Update #4: Had a slight problem chopping trees... trying to get the latest dev builds installed to try to fix that.  If you login, chop a tree and get disconnected that is why.

Update #5: This is crashing more than Charlie Brown's kite.  Very unstable build.  I'll work on it more later today.  Sorry for jumping the gun on this.

DON'T UPGRADE (if you want to connect to multiplayer)

There's nothing more exciting than Minecraft update day!  Except when you want to go play the new update with your friends... :(

But it takes a while for all the plug-ins that we have installed to get updated and verified to work with the latest version.  If you upgrade, you won't be able to connect to StantonCraft until those are updated.

Keep an eye out here.  We'll let you know when it's ready.
