• New ComputerCraft peripheral support:
• IC2 batteries (MFSUs, etc.):
• getChargeLevel()
• getMaxEnergyOutput()
• getEnergy()


• IC2 wires:
• getConductionLoss()
• getConductorBreakdownEnergy()
• getInsulationEnergyAbsorption()
• getInsulationBreakdownEnergy()


• IC2 nuclear reactors:
• getHeat()
• getMaxEnergyOutput()


• New API:
• skcraft.
• getYourLove()

I can add support for ANY block (with metadata) in Minecraft as a peripheral with some Java hackery, even if the block doesn't support it, and even if ComputerCraft doesn't support actually doing this, so I'll take any suggestions for anything that you want. I can also add new APIs.

There will be a page for you to edit and upload .lua files in the near future.

• This is a server-only update.
• Fuel jetpacks now let you go into creative fly mode. Just don a fuel jetpack and double tap your jump (default key [kbd]SPACE[/kbd]) key.

Advertising the server means we get better members to pick from. Use the following code for the following banner on the various forums you go to (like the Minecraft forums!):

• Up until now, I hadn't tried to fix the "blocks falling over," but now I have and I believe I have suceeded. This means that blocks will no longer "fall over," Nuclear Control should work, and IC2 crops won't disappear.
• Added a long list of tools to the Adventurer's Backpack (from Forestry). Thanks to KontrolKiteal for the list.
• Added some minor performance changes that should keep the server running smoothly.

• Alice was down due to a crash bug in PowerConverters.
• Desertcraft has been removed on the server as it appears to be too buggy. It is still installed on the client for now.
• Water strainers are re-patched to not crash. As far as I can see, they still function (at least with piped in water).

Alice has been updated to version 1.2.5-v6.1 (the "HARVEST"). This requires a client update, which you will be prompted to do when launching the game.

What's Changed

• Updated Additional BuildCraft Objects to 2.2.14-97-r5
• Updated Forestry to 1.4.8.4
• Updated IronChests to 3.8.0.40
• Updated Nuclear Control to 1.1.10b
• Updated Wireless Redstone Core to 1.2.2.3
• Updated Wireless Redstone RedPower to 1.2.2.1
• Updated the server Forge port, which may fix IC2 blocks "falling over" and Nuclear Control blocks forgetting their settings
• Added ComputerCraft 1.33
• Added Greg's Lighting 1.0
• Added HarvestCraft 5.3.8.1
• Added DesertCraft 1.7
• Added WorldEditCUI 1.2.5

What You'll Find

• Tens of new crops and food items from HarvestCraft and DesertCraft.
• Computers programmed with Lua using ComputerCraft.
• Working monitors to display any text you want with ComputerCraft.
• Visual selection of selection when claiming chunks.
• Illuminate your tall buildings with the new floodlights from Greg's Lighting.
• Possibly fixed IC2 blocks falling over.
• Possibly fixed Nuclear Control settings loss issue.

Release Notes

• ComputerCraft Turtles are currently disabled until we see how things turn out.
• ComputerCraft is currently in testing. If it turns out to be a severe server burden, it will have to be removed.
• To balance the computers with RedPower, the recipe for a ComputerCraft computer has been changed to:
[3x3]item.ingotIron tile.blockDiamond item.ingotIron
item.ingotIron item.redstone item.ingotIron
item.ingotIron tile.thinGlass item.ingotIron[/3x3]

A member on the server found an nasty exploit that let people login as other players (that had migrated their Minecraft account to a Mojang account) but unfortunately, knowledge of the exploit spread like wildfire yesterday. The exploit allowed people to login to servers as the server owner or even as Notch, able to give themselves permissions to do all sorts of damage. The events culminated into the shutdown of Mojang's login session servers several hours in to the drama, and that's where we stand now. If you get a 503 error or an internal error when trying to join, it's because of the login session servers being unavailable. Please login using offline mode (check "Offline" mode under "More options" in the launcher), but you will need your server-registered password on hand.

This is also a reminder to keep your registered password current. To set your password (once you are in), you have to use [typed]/register your_password[/typed].

We have a new welcome page and a new wiki!

Now that some people have had to work with chunk registration and its effects, what are some problems and annoyances that you have had?

I'm considering later adding some "on-the-fly" temporary chunk leases, which would allow timers and whatnot to work while the lease is active. The lease would be placed on placement of affected blocks. This way you can quickly play with the blocks for whatever need without having to buy the chunk.
