Why is it that every time I announce something publicly the server goes down?

It’s been up for 30 seconds in 6 days.

I’ll let you know when it’s up again!

I’m all a tis with this server. Part of it wanted to be an art gallery, part of it wanted to be a sandpit.

Until I work out how to merge the best of all worlds, both the maps and the game rules/logic/permissions we’ll just have to accept whatever appears here as the current state of play, but it’s open to change.

I’ve Uploaded new Cuboid Plugin — this is crucial if people want to protect creations they have made. This is not integral to the main Minecraft game, you won’t find it everywhere, but I think it’s nice for people to have the choice to curate and protect areas from damage. Please ask if you want it. Twitter.com/MichaelRose will do it. Or the same dude on @gmail.com

Until recently this server has been rather private and perhaps a little too paranoid (with a spawn prison and a perhaps over-restrictive whitelist). I think I’ve erred on the side of over-caution but at least I’ve got copies of everything I’ve made and the skills, now, to run a server that is safe, fun and gives room for creative expression and play.

• Changing name of world to ManicMiners
• Monsters = true. i.e. they appear and the WILL hurt you
• pvp=true - i.e. hoomins can hurt each other vote

So… at the moment you can kill and be killed.

If you want to build something beautiful remember to light it well as Creepers can explode and frustrate your progress.

Also… consider investing in arrows!
