I've been recently considering setting up a public war or roleplay server where there would be few rules, with most of the restrictions being powered by code (computers > humans, bwahaha). Beyond that though, I haven't spent time brainstorming too much. Anyone got any 'grand schemes' of how this could be done? In a way that is both fun and easy for us to manage.

  • Teleport pipes from Additional Pipes for BuildCraft can now be crafted.
  • There is now a mining world; however, it is simply my old adventure world code enabled. To enter the adventure world, stand in a nether portal while holding an enderpearl. To get back, use your brain! Please aware that teleporting through a mining world portal may temporarily freeze the server, so maybe warn others before doing so.
  • Apiarist's Pipe/Backpack/Chest are not going to be fixed as they are not supported on SMP.

The server is likely going to be moved this week if all goes well, fixing the various lag issues that we've had in the recent two weeks, and also opening up a large number of opportunities. We may have a dedicated Minecraft event server soon to play various adventure maps and game modes, and our creative server, James, may make its return. We may also host other game servers (although they may be in Europe), such as Garry's Mod, if we want. Thank you for sticking with us; big things are ahead!

In addition, around this Friday, Pacific time, at 6 PM, another theater night is planned. Stay tuned for details.

Alice has been crashing due to bugs in these extremely buggy mods, but the server should be back up.

I have finally successfully got the server back online, after several failed attempts. Please bare with us. Sk89q and me both are trying our best to keep the server online, and look for a new host for us.

We had an impromptu theater night today and it was great! Hopefully we'll be having another soon, either tomorrow or next week. Stay tuned!

I need you guys to open Command Prompt (or Terminal) and type the following:
ping 69.64.38.9
ping 199.19.109.150
ping 78.46.47.7


Tell me the average ping that you get (in ms units), the IP that it is for, and your location in the world.

For Mac OS X: Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility -> Ping tab

The following issues and suggestions for Alice are to be considered. Anything missing?
  • Fix teleporters being uncraftable
  • Fix Forestry backpacks deleting their inventories
  • Consider Advanced Machines and mcMMO
  • Add a mining world
  • Fix furnace only smelting 63 items (unconfirmed)

I've been told that the Apiary Chest and Apiary Pipe do not work, but apparently they do not work on SMP.

  • There are a number of bugs on Alice and these will be fixed towards the end of this weekend.
  • Flying and The End are now enabled on Alice.
  • Dynmap on Vincent is temporarily disabled. It loads but it won't update the tiles.
  • We are considering moving to a dedicated server to make the servers run better.
    • If all goes well, we may have between 16 to 32 GB of RAM to our disposal.
    • I'd like to setup an "on-demand" server that you can temporarily use to do things like upload an adventure map so you can play with friends and other members.
    • I may be able to subsidize the server with other activities, so we won't have to resort to donor ranks and you won't have to pay to play.

Alice's The End has been made more fun! There's also more Ender beehives and possibly some diamond ore to get!
