Just a quick update, the WorldEdit limits have been fixed and now work again under 1.7.9 so when you login you will be given the correct block limit for your rank, please remember if you are promoted your limit change is not instant and applys on the next server restart.

Disguises have also been fixed under 1.7.9

/skull has now also been fixed for 1.7.9 and works correctly, however older skulls placed on earlier Minecraft versions may still display as a Steve head, these will need to be placed again to show the correct player head.

We have also added another custom coded plugin written by AquaXV, called 'WhatBlock' basically looking at a block you issue the command /whatblock or /wb and the following information will be displayed:

The new /wb command is available to all Constructors and higher ranks. This new command is especially useful for WorldEdit, if you have stairs and need to //set an area with them, you can use this to see what the WorldEdit value should be to make the stairs face a direction.

Also the new /nightvision plugin has an updated alias, for speed you can now use /nv

Two new ranks for the Creative server are now completed for more details see the Wiki pages below:

Creative now has a live dynamic map showing all of the plots, the map is still updating so expect missing areas to be filled in, and anything outside the border will be deleted in the next render pass, so we will have a nice neat square!


Please do have a browse I have already found some real hidden gems built by our talented creative players!

Why? Because Stanky said so...

Ok real reasons?

1. Actually see the faces of the people you play with.
2. Someday Minecraft will die off and you'll wonder, "Whatever happen to BSPiotr anyway?"
3. What? Another way to chat besides in, in forum, skype and Ventrilo? Totally!
4. We may actually attract new users by having a large FB presence.
5. Once a month I'm gonna offer a Stanky Surprise via our FB page!

One of the many things that we here at MinecraftServer enjoy is the building of a server.

The creation of a new world. The building of a spawn. The first wide-eyed looks of newcomers as they figure out which direction they should head in to build their first dirt shack.

The hours and hours of work that go into plugin management and rule creation only to have people challenge, break, and strain our servers to their very limits 20 minutes later.

But one thing we tend to forget, as minecraft comes of age, is the different maps that we have gone through together. This is now our 5th Blackreaver Map (BR5 for short). We've gone through all the motions before, and we're sure to go through them again if the Minecraft team decide to change the game significantly again; but that is a topic for another day.

Today, we wish to show you the history of our previous map - Cryinia - possibly one of our "defining maps" as a server. The one where we changed everything and challenged traditions established in earlier maps. The one where economy was backed, the one where plots were standard-sized, the one where you all thought you'd be able to transfer over some materials from the previous map only to have WG corrupt the data.

Today, we present to you, our builders and guests, the history of Cryinia, BR4, as presented from the viewpoint of one of our previous admins, DavidTheMerc:

The History of Cryinia
