SKCraft Community

We have a new forum skin!

Alice will hopefully be updated this week. Unfortunately, due to the release of 1.2.4, it complicated things. The good news, however, is that we've made good progress on the new Alice spawn.

Our radio is back! It plays primarily orchestral pieces consisting of game music and inspirational music.

• For Windows Media Player: http://skcraft.com/listen.asx
• For iTunes, Winamp, etc.: http://skcraft.com/listen.pls

If you want to help build Alice spawn, please get into our Mumble server (voip.skcraft.com) and join the New Spawn room. You'll have to find sk89q there if you are not yet initiated in the group.

Survival has been updated:

• Hibachis are back! Throw raw food items onto a trapdoor above a fire and the items will be cooked after around two seconds. You can cook pork, beef, fish, and chicken.
• Cauldrons are back in a different manner. Throw a mix of ingredients into a crafted cauldron and the items will be cooked. Note that the cauldron needs to have water in it when you throw the ingredients in, and you can only cook one batch at a time.
• There are new recipes! For circle stone brick, place stone in a circle (similar to a furnace) in a crafting grid. For the 3rd form of sandstone, place two sandstone horizontally adjacent (##) on a crafting grid.

Ingredients for cauldrons are:

• Melon cookie: 1x wheat, 1x melon, 1x egg
• Web: 1x sugar, 2x string
• Mushroom soup: 1x red mushroom, 1x brown mushroom
• Rotten flesh: 1x spider eye, 1x raw beef
• White wool: 1x wool of any color

We now have a voice chat server powered by Mumble.

1. First, you'll have to get the free Mumble client.
2. Connect to the address voip.skcraft.com and if prompted for a password, use babies
3. Right click your name and click "Register self," then double click a channel to join it.

We are still running MC 1.2.3 on Vincent, but you can connect with Minecraft 1.2.4.

Minecraft 1.2.4 has been released. Note that Vincent isn't running this version yet, but we'll update you when we have upgraded. The upgrade will take place very soon. You can join Vincent with 1.2.4 although it is running 1.2.3. Enjoy!

Changelog:

We might be setting up another voice chat server, but please vote in this thread as to your preferred voice chat program.

You can now (and have to) connect to Alice with just "alice.sk89q.com" (no :2000). Note that your DNS may have to update for this change to take effect.

In addition, Dynmap for Vincent is back at http://vincent.sk89q.com. Be aware that, as of writing, the tiles are still being re-generated.
