Recently, the server has had a number of lag issues, but we're working to get them resolved as soon as possible (possibly by finding a new host).

Nearly 10,000 Minecraft accounts have been recently compromised.

Please check this list to see if your account's security has been compromised.

Take the time to review your account's security (change password, etc.) and methods to protect your password. We recommend:

• Use only trusted mods and launchers
• Have a separate account for different services (one for email, another for Minecraft, and so on...)
• Never share your account's login details
• Refrain from using programs or websites claiming to give you "op" access on a server or other benefits

An Alice update has been pushed (1.2.3 build 3) but is important that you save mods/rei_minimap/ files if you don't want your new waypoints and settings (of the minimap) reset! The launcher update mechanism doesn't support not replacing a file when it already exists, and I currently don't have time to add that, so you'll have to manually backup the files.

The update fixes RedPower GUIs not appearing on right click at all, and it also allows you to show recipes for IC2 items without crashing. Unfortunately, RedPower items are also not in the list anymore. Can't have everything, can you?

Our Alice server's world has been reset -- we're now on the world of Velendell.

At the moment, because Minecraft has been in a constant flux in regards to updates, many mods have not been ported over and so we're a bit short on what we have installed at the moment. However, you'll find:

• BuildCraft 2.x
• IndustrialCraft2
• RedPower
• Forestry
• PowerConverters
• Additional Pipes
• IC2 Thermometer

ComputerCraft currently has a memory leak as far as we are aware, and we were not able to install it. It will be making a comeback soon.

To play, use the official SKCraft Launcher, click "Switch..." at the top, and then choose "Alice." Login, update if necessary, and you'll have all the files you need. Login to alice.sk89q.com as usual. Be aware that most active players can currently play, but very new members and inactive players do not yet have access. Please be patient as we get that issue resolved.



When you login, you will appear within Velendell Island, the primary center of the world. There you will find the shops, the Velendell Zoological Society, and some other facilities. Not too far off is the main island, which you can reach by boat (rail will be available soon, as well as other methods of travel).



Many thanks to the individuals who help built the new spawn. I will list their names shortly.

Vincent managed to crash overnight, but it's back up now.

A pre-release of 1.2.5 has been posted with the following changes:

• Added shift clicking support in furnaces
• Added method to easily acquire blocks you have selected in the world in Creative mode using the ‘pick block’ key
• Made the Direct Connect dialog remember the last IP for the current session
• Fixed issues detected certain links in chat
• Fixed wild ocelots behaving like tamed cats
• Fixed various chat crashes
• Made cats less eager to sit on things
• Made cats less patient
• Fixed world generation failing under certain circumstances
• Fixed issues turning off sound under certain circumstances
• Removed all ghost entities under the command of Lord Herobrine
• Fixed crash when pasting certain characters in chat
• Fixed slash ‘/’ key not behaving correctly in certain environments
• Fixed command matching being too greedy (for example: typing ‘/stophammertime’ no longer stops your server)
• Fixed not being able to click coloured links
• Fixed potential issue with village door detection (which could cause too many villagers)
• Made using a stack of bowls on Mooshrooms not consume the whole stack of bowls
• Made punching a TNT block with flint and steel in hand destroy and drop a TNT block (right-clicking will activate the TNT)

In case you want a copy early:

• Client download: JAR
• Server download: JAR or EXE

The version will be officially released on Wednesday April 4, at 15:00 CEST.

Reduced to menial tasks by this throbbing pain, I have done some curating of the radio station. A vast majority of the battle themes and dark themes have been removed.

If you've got any music to suggest, we're open to suggestions. I'm looking for primarily non-battle music that is uplifting, or 'exploration' music. I prefer orchestral pieces.

Recently, there transpired a recent argument about spawn and related matters, and unfortunately some events took place. I'll hope to deal with them soon; however, I currently have a pretty terrible pain in my mouth (I've seen a dentist), so I may not be able to deal with matters for a while.

I was also hoping to get more done this week (especially in regards to the Alice world reset), but the pain has proven to be a challenge.

Ok ... first of all: HI THERE! :) - You didnt hear much of me during the last weeks since I was busy, but now there is a big change to announce: simo_415 (thx to him!) and I redesigned the Spawn a "bit". Hopefully it now fits to everyones taste!
