Nice to see people actually coming back again and playing.

I would like to see a dynmap though.
"We have now reached the point where every goon with a grievance, every bitter bigot, merely has to place the prefix, 'I know this is not politically correct, but...' in front of the usual string of insults in order to be not just safe from criticism, but actually a card, a lad, even a hero. Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

Considering that 1.7 was labeled "The Update that Changed the World," yup.  The entire terrain gen code was rewritten again, and there are now 60-odd biomes or biome variants arranged somewhat more sanely when compared to each other.  The real standouts in my mind are the new painted desert/mesa biomes with awesome-looking layers of hardened clay, and there are also fun things like roofed forests and savannas (both with new tree types).  There's the usual smattering of new block types and features as well.  Obviously the new terrain doesn't apply on our pre-generated map, but I'm sure a friendly admin could be persuaded to dump some new blocks on us.

Speaking of biome changes, although the differences in old terrain aren't nearly as drastic as past updates (remember the one that put patches of desert/swamp grass everywhere?), I have noticed a few.  First off, if you have any Taiga near you, it'll now rain instead of snow: there's a new Cold Taiga variant in the new version that snows, but obviously that won't apply to the older Taiga biome.  Also, if you're in an Extreme Hills area, blocks above y = 95 or so will now experience snow, as one would expect for mountaintops.  I had to plop a few more torches on the top of my fortress, but that was about it.

This server will not be experiencing most of these changes simply because the old world was kept, unless you guys (as in 9/10ths of you) would like a copy of this world in TarGZ and have a new one.

The PvP server will be a freshly generated map that will have all the new shiny things however, so it;s not like you wouldn't be able to see it.

Mojang slipped out a ninja update that ****s with all the developers and then some. The update after this one would completely change how permissions are done, but they decided to put in a bit of the code now, and dispite not actually enabling it, have chosen that it is "not compatable".

Basicly, they just screwed over every real server for fun.

Anyway, on the launcher you can make a new profile and select an older version of minecraft to run. 1.7.2 through 1.7.5 should all work.

EDIT: I do think that UUID is a good idea, and I do think that UUID based permissions would be more secure, but this rollout is stupid as all hell.

PermissionsEX to the rescue! Pex is now UUID compliant, which means that we won't have problems with people switching names to get a rank they should not have. Since so few people have joined so far, the few who have are not a problem.

Essentials (which tracks homes and cord locations) should be updated fairly soon, and Factions (for PvP) I sure hope gets updated. All of my own scripting can be modified to support UUIDs easily, for what isn't perms based anyway.

Sorry for kicking you off Akalabeth Angel, the server is back on now.

Excellent news. :) I look forward to that, should have time later today as my work will be done by then. I'm definitely happy with the work you've done, Kyad.
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress to more pain."

Those are some pretty fantastic mods you've got. Thank you for posting just what you had going because damn, I'm definitely picking up one if not all for myself!

Realisticly, use 256x. 512x is nice for screens since i take them at nearly my full res of 3562x1920, but for even 1080p it is very much overkill and will slow down the game. I have to give it 8-10GB for it to be ok running that way. 256 is a lot less stressfull.

Also, I have a whole lot more of that;

3rd one looks like an actual hotel hallway if it wasn't for the signs and redstone lamps. :P R3DCraft isn't complete yet though, so it's to be expected. He's working on it.

My favorite of them all though is this one;


Just makes me sit back and go "Whoa."

Run the Optifine jar first. Run the Shaders jar 2nd. R3DCraft into "resource packs" folder. Shaders into "shader packs" folder. select both in-game. Done.

The new server doesn't have mob griefing turned off correct? I haven't let any creepers blow in important areas but trying to avoid it.
