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

Early access signups are no longer accepted. We will be switching to public (public for current members of SKCraft) in the coming days. Everything is ready, besides a ban and whitelist sync.

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. Connect to: 204.27.63.206:25565 or alice.sk89q.com (it may take up to 48 hours for your DNS to populate the changes)

Please note that Alice is a survival server upon public launch. Creative options may be introduced later.

Vincent and James have been updated to 1.1. Note that Alice is still running on Minecraft 1.0.

Well as some of you can see, we decided to change the style of the spawn in Summerhold. With the help of Bio & Alex I already designed a new commons & some places around. Any other ideas? Post them below!

Fast download is now setup on the Garry's Mod server.

So I whitelisted a backlog of people, POTENTIALLY over 100 people (but I denied more than half of applicants!).

Anyway, prepare for some fun.

I still have to process the applications posted to these forums however. I have only processed applications posted to Google Docs and MC forums.

  • Made it easier for op's to respond to requests
  • Fixed sign protection for players with long names
  • Added new shutdown procedure
