Server back up

Alice is back up!

It had crashed because the server had run out of memory (likely due to some memory leak), an issue that we hadn't run into before because we had previously needed to restart the server periodically to 'fix the lag', and we don't need to anymore.

A few people may find their claims owned by the server or otherwise broken. Please double check your claim (use /bind ownership in chat) and re-claim as necessary (you may have to ask a moderator for assistance). If you lost coal coke in the process, please notify a moderator.

Thank you for your understanding.

  • The block lag fix from Alice for MC 1.2.5 was re-added, which should make block placement/breaking less irritating for those not physically near the server.
  • Remember to try the New York mirror if you are in the US or west of the US, which may help with lag spikes: ny.alice.sk89q.com

If you get random lag spikes to the Minecraft server, you can try the New York proxy that I've set up again. (Note: If you are in Europe or otherwise not west of New York, you should not even try.)

The address is: ny.alice.sk89q.com

You will have to copy over your Rei's Minimap settings to the new address if you wish to retain your waypoints.

General update on matters

Here's a general update on matters:
  • A client update is planned tomorrow (GMT -0800) with updates for a few mods and possibly a few mod additions.
  • The Mining World is still a work in progress. Notably:
    • Mystcraft does not actually work (in creating worlds) on our server software.
    • The old "Adventure World" code abused to make mining worlds also currently does not work either.
  • Server lag is caused predominately due to an excess of monsters and animals, though about 15% of the CPU is spent on BuildCraft pipes and Logistics Pipes.
    • Mob grinders may need to be modified in the near future to never collect more than a few monsters or otherwise grinders may output considerably less.
    • Animal farms may be automatically reduced in size in the near future by the server.
  • The End has been monopolized by a few individuals as of late.
    • To counteract that, dragon eggs and ores will be available via quests in the coming days.
