Introducing Alice - Public Release

Posted Jan. 17, 2012
It's finally here! Thanks to some hard work by famerdave and myself, the modded server has finally launched to all SKCraft members. Note that we still run Minecraft 1.0.

We currently run the following mods:
  1. BuildCraft 2.x
  2. IndustrialCraft 2.x
  3. RedPower 2.x
  4. Forestry 1.2.x

To connect:
  1. Download the client mod pack
  2. Ensure you are a SKCraft member
  3. Connect to: alice.sk89q.com

Frequently asked questions
  • What game mode do you currently run?
    • We currently are a survival server. Much like Vincent, items must be achieved without spawning. Commands such as /spawn and /home do not work, either.

  • Is there public electricity?
    • Yes! Plots near the city have electrical access points under a cobblestone slab. Note that electricity has been limited to 32 eu/t. If you happen to need more, contact myself or famerdave and we can work something out. Tampering with the electrical grid will result in your electricity being cut off.

  • Where can I suggest mods?
    • Right here! Note that we try to ensure a level of stability and quality, so not all mods may be accepted.

Some other things to note
  • Explosions have been disabled, although damage may still be incurred
  • Please refrain from building large mines/quarries near the city
  • Large machinery should be located underground or away from the city. Please provide your own energy (or talk to me or famerdave to work something out)
    • Note that special cases will not be unlimited, but rather metered at a higher rate

  • Moderators have the ability to remove creations that cause sever lag
  • Cheats, hacks, etc. are not allowed and will result in a ban
  • Bans will carry over to both Vincent and James

The update fixes some critical multiplayer bugs that can lead to corrupt inventories, etc. Alice will be fully launched to the public soon.

Problematic memory leak

Posted Jan. 15, 2012
There appears to be a pretty terrible memory leak after we updated to MC 1.1. Until we get this fixed, you will notice:
  • Every hour or two, the server will solidly freeze for up to five minutes as Java tries to reclaim memory. You and everyone will be kicked, but there will be no data loss. The server will be unresponsive during this time.
  • After 24 hours or so, the server will crash entirely. We're hoping to avoid this with periodical server restarts until we get the problem fixed.

This mostly impacts the survival server.

Vincent is up

Posted Jan. 15, 2012
The Vincent server is back. It apparently ran out of memory, though that's the first time that has happened. (Perhaps it's due to MC 1.1)

Donate to the server

Some people asked to donate to the server, so you can do now here:

It helps pay for the forum and some of the hosting.
