official Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

I've been playing with the latest dev release of CraftBukkit today (1.7.2-r0.1-20131208.043839-24), along with a couple of plugins - FreeTeleport  and DynMap. All seems to work quite well, although with only a single player online, and it's not a 1.7.3 server.

I'll leave it up to Louisifer to get Bukkit plus desired plug-ins up and running. Though I'd rather wait for a beta release.

[Louisifer]

I have never set up a bukkit server so I'd rather wait for beta for 1.7.3 and find out what plugins and settings we need :P

[Slugsie]

Sure thing. This is my first time playing with Bukkit, and it was easy to setup. However, I have no idea on what is required to transfer a current world into Bukkit.

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

the only think i can think of that i would like to see with bukkit is the dyna map as well as the auto backups. thats about the only things i can think of.

[Slugsie]

The Teleport stuff that we used to have was really useful.

I wonder why all the pre-release stuff was calling it 1.7.3 and they released it as 4. What else did they change other than the logo, twitch.tv support, and render distance?

 

 

 

• Added integrated Twitch broadcasting! See below for details.
• Fixed render distances above 8 (may not work in multiplayer, servers have their own view distance they limit you to)
• Many bug fixes and optimizations!

thats all i can find on their website.

Beta 1.7.3 is popularly known as the last version that had the Far Lands, I think they just wanted to shift past that number for easier search results.

[Slugsie]

Congratulations, you completed Minecraft.

 

Go have a cookie, and start again. :)

Is minecraft less taxing now then ?

[Slugsie]

Minecraft is exactly as taxing as you want it to be. :) The server is helped by the fact that a lot of us (big ups to Louisifer) have put a lot of effort into making the server what it is. Plenty of help to get you started if you join in now.

I mean on the CPU, the server has always been great.

[Slugsie]

Ah right, gotcha.

 

I don't think it's changed any recently. I believe that Jeb has made some mention of improving the performance in coming releases however.

Rebooting the server to install Windows updates. Give it a few mins to be back up.
