Firstly, you can get the 1.3 map here:
http://machinespirit.net/ace/minecraft/imagination.zip

It’s massive but once you’ve got it you can load it into single player or use any number of tools to extract your favourite bits. As you’ve probably Guessed the seed was “imagination” and large biomes was enabled.

Because that map has been stagnating a little and wiLANga is happening THIS WEEKEND
MORE DETAILS HERE
We’re gonna start a new map. We’re calling this map “tribe”. For more info on what it is, log on and see.

Also, this website and the minecraft server will be unavailable to the outside world for the period of wiLANga. If you want to be there for the start of the new map, join us there!

For those of you who were wondering the server has been upgraded to 1.3 prerelease snapshot. If you want to upgrade too so you can join in, here’s how:

When 1.3 comes out, there are two options for the current world:

Option 1:

We banish it into the abyss, bringing forth an entirely new world in it’s place. People will be able to pay a cost to have creations imported from the old world.

Option 2:

We keep the current map, but upgrade to 1.3 with it’s new biome code. This will cause a weird cliffy rift to form where old biome generation meets new and new features will only spawn in new areas. This encourages exploration into the distant lands which contain new features.

Option 3:

Not everyone likes change. Fuck the new features. Keep 1.2.4

One or two changes to DobbyCraft:

players can now /ticket create <message here> to request assistance from an Admin. or helper+

The /back command has been rectified so it can only be used to return to your death, be warned! mobs that killed you off last time will remain to finish the job!

The /home and /home set commands replace *OLD /sethome and players can now use /home invite <player>  to invite friends to their place, accepted with /home friend <player>

Hey guys and girls.

Essentially due to the ever increasing delays when logging in, and recent changes to mojang’s servers causing login in to be near impossible (see below) we have drawn into a stand alone method where you register your user-name when joining dobbycraft. Once you have used:

/register <password>

example: /register cat2000

(make a strong but memorable password NOT the same as your minecraft  login!!)

you can then use /login <password>  example: /login cat2000

you will then be returned to your last position and return to minecraft happily.

** for people having issues with the login, forgotten passwords, or any other queries please make a comment below or use the in-game /ticket create option. (tickets will be dealt with as promptly as possible)

*** I’m sure the server authentication issue will clear up in a few days until then the login method will protect your account on top of several user checks we preform as well.

happy mining!

Minecraft 1.0 is coming out!

Although we don’t technically HAVE to start a new map, certain features will only spawn in newly explored areas at the far reaches of the current world. I can once again port things from any old maps for a cost so it remains up to the community to make a decision.

Ok so Drupal was a headfuck to deal with from an administrative point of view so now we’ve moved to wordpress which should allow for a little less action in the mad crashes department. Plus plugins are a bit easier to manage so we should get some increased functionality.
