Incoming! Multiverse 2!

I'm loading up a multiverse plugin on the server so that we can have multiple worlds.

We can even have different permissions on different worlds, so if you want a world where you have the power of Admin, then we can do that!

I'm still working out the snags... like the fact that whenever a new world is created it is created with nobody having any permissions at all, so configuring any worlds are manual.

I've created a world called NewWorld just for test.  I'll probably delete it, so don't go crazy there.

You can also get to the Temporary world we used between upgrades before, but the spawn doesn't really put you anywhere close to where we were that I can tell.  I've not explored a whole lot.

Minecraft 1.2.5 - Go ahead and upgrade!

When I first saw that Minecraft 1.2.5 was released today I groaned.  Not again... not again so quickly!

Loyally I go out to the Bukkit site... and what is this?  They have a recommended build for 1.2.5 already!

I changed the server login to use the latest Bukkit Recommended Build and it went immediately to 1.2.5 with the latest recommended build of Bukkit!  Quite amazing when technology actually works.

Feel free to upgrade, knowing that when you do you'll have to repatch Minecraft with MCPatcher if you're using the Misa's texture pack.  Looks to me like MCPatcher 2.3.5 still works with the latest version, so you should already have it downloaded.

Dedicated IP Address!

Wondering why you can't access your FAVORITE Minecraft server?

Funny thing... when I first ordered the service I said that we wanted a static IP address.

They said, "We're out."

I said "Oh, okay, let me know when you get one."

They said, "Okay."

They didn't.

I'm looking at the account today and I noticed that we're still getting charged for it even though our server is STILL having to connect on port 25640 (that's the 25640 at the end of minecraft.notnats.com:25640).

I sent them a note saying, "Hey, how come I'm getting charged for this when we don't have a static IP?"

I was expecting them to be changing my billing amount.

Instead, they changed the IP address of the server.  Doh!

By the time you read this the address will be: minecraft.notnats.com (nothing else).

The new IP address is actually 70.34.195.43.

See you there!

Now with 1.2.4 goodness!

Multicraft (our server host) has finally updated the server versions for the server so now we're running 1.2.4 with the latest development build of Bukkit. It's automatic! No longer do I have to watch the Bukkit servers/forums for the latest versions... we automagically get them!

Wow, that's pretty awesome.

There's another pretty awesome I can't wait to use:

FOUR kinds of wood planks!

Anyone using Misa's will of course have to patch and download Misa 412 texture pack.

Downgrading to 1.2.3

Here is the file for 1.2.3.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18074635/minecraft-1.2.3.jar

Place this is your c:\users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin directory and rename it minecraft.jar in order to return to version 1.2.3.

Latest Builds

One of the things I want to do with this blog is highlight builds that people are doing, so if you have a build that you want on this blog let me know.  We'll get some good screenshots of them and post them up here.

This is a Tudor-inspired street next to the theater.  It is about 95% legit, mostly from lumber and such harvested by Wickie and Gofastmikex in abandoned mines.

Sometimes I had to fly around and place blocks for the gabling and roofs, which is why I say 95%.

There is still a lot of work to be done inside the houses and around back, but come take a look!
