Vincent's lag was fixed. There were over 1,000 chickens at spawn.

Alright guys... a routine reboot went pear-shaped and the server won't start back up. The MPT is working to resolve the issue and we hope to bring everything back online shortly!

Good news, fellow players the Alice minecraft server is operational once again.

Unfortunately, this does mean that Chocolate Quests did get the boot. We can't keep getting sk to fix it everytime we discover something else is causing errors within the mod.

Have fun and enjoy.

Very Sorry for the inconvenience and downtime!

Alice is currently DOWN.

The server is having technical difficulties (crash problems) brought on by, once again, Chocolate Quest. The server will be down until we can prepare a fix.

Alice was restarted!

Here's a guide to Vincent's rails. Be sure to use the Dynmap as a reference.

We are planning to reset the mining world and The End on May 11 (at any time on that day, Pacific Daylight Time). Please make sure anything valuable that you have placed in those worlds is removed by that date.

In addition, we are considering resetting the Nether on that date. Please make comments regarding the change on this thread.

ChickenChunks
Yes, chunkloading has been enabled once more. Everyone can keep a maximum of 11 chunks loaded. The chunks will only load when the owner is on the server. The idea is to be able to have your machines work when you're playing, while not requiring you to be at home all the time.

ComputerCraft
This update is a big one. A lot of things have changed internally in ComputerCraft. Without a doubt, some programs or setups will break because of this, so don't be surprised if your code breaks.

Mekanism
Because of a change in this mod, IC2 machines will not be able to output power into Universal Cables. To still have this functionality, you will have to connect a cable to the output face of an EU storage block. After that, you need to set the Universal Cable to PULL mode using a Configurator.

Note that this is unrelated to cables not being able to power IC2 machines. This is fixed now.

Earlier today, we experienced what appears to be a network outage which caused temporary disruptions to Alice, Vincent, and SKCraft.com. As of 1:30 PM EDT the network has returned to normal, and service has been restored. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Here's a new round of updates to Vincent!
  • It will now take a little longer for you to deplete your hunger bar.
  • Upon dying, your death coordinates will be printed to your own chat.
  • Yellow wool booster blocks now boost more gradually.

Stations


Stations from Vincent of yesteryear are back, but now you place green wool underneath the tracks to mark a station.


[center] [/center]
The purpose of stations is that they put your Minecart into a constant reduced speed (after several ticks, at least), which makes it easier to get off. When disembarking from a station, your Minecart will also be removed from the world. Should you stay in your cart through the station, you will start gradually speeding up after you leave the station.

Station Dispensers


It may be conceivable that you may want to be able to get back onto the track and continue down one of the directions. Fortunately, you can also place a dispenser below the track and activate it as you have before (at the terminus of a track).


[center] [/center]
The dispenser will dispense unlimited carts onto the rail with a velocity in the direction of the dispenser's forward face.

For those who are not very well versed in Redstone, the pressure plate activates the Redstone wire two blocks below it. Because we can't simply run a wire from the plate to the dispenser (the wire wouldn't point "into" the dispenser), a Redstone repeater is used.
