What’s New: Week 1

Hey guys, I figured I should start posting about what’s new on Livecraft. Although I will not post a new article every week, they will be counted on a weekly basis.

What’s new this week:

  1. Made sponges craftable, useful for underwater bases or pesky cave waterfalls. Use /recipe sponge to figure out how to craft it.
  2. Fixed a bug where the flatlands and main worlds were sharing an inventory, which is not good.
  3. Updated server & plugins, should be running smoother. Please post on the website’s “Bug Reports” forum if you find otherwise.
  4. Increased the maximum player count from 24 players to 32.

Minor Maintenance

I am currently working on fixing various issues that have been occurring on the server. The server will be online by 2/24/2014 @ 6:00 AM latest.

We’re Back!

Livecraft is back online after a long period of being down. I was going to launch the server tomorrow at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, but I am going on a date with my girlfriend. I have reduced the max players to 24 players in order to keep the server running quick. Overall, I have made a bunch of changes to keep the server running at its top performance while keeping it safe from DDoS attacks and cheaters. Please let me know if you encounter any issues, and I appreciate all of you guys for your support.

What’s new:

  1. There is a border (made by WorldBorder) on all worlds (a 5,000 block radius)
  2. The world is pre-rendered, ensuring chunks render quickly
  3. I have replaced Deadbolt with LWC. All chests are now private immediately when placed.
  4. I replaced Multiverse with My Worlds. My Worlds is a fast, functional, and up-to-date alternative to Multiverse.
  5. Maximum player count reduced from 32 to 24.
  6. Building in “The End” world has been disabled, and the game mode for “The End” is set to adventure.

Important Updates

Livecraft is undergoing some maintenance currently and should be back online by Friday, February 23rd, 2014. The server has been reset, and there is now a radius on the world in order to prevent the world from growing too large. Overall, the server should feel much faster, so I do hope you guys enjoy the changes. I also replaced Deadbolt with LWC. Chests are now private by default, but this can be changed after placing the chest.

Update #3

I have bought a new domain (livecraft.us) and we will be online by the end of the month, hopefully sooner.

Update #2

The map has been reset to use the new map. Changes will be made to it, but it is basically ready to play on. There is now a world border to prevent the world from growing too large.

Important info about www.live-craft.com

Our domain expired and my friend (Drak1234) who registered the domain is not currently able to renew it. As a result, you must connect via the IP provided, not the domain. Livecraft is not down, we just do not have our URL.

Sneak Peek to 1.8

Hey guys, just posting a quick little sneak peak about our 1.8 update. Although Minecraft 1.8 has not been announced, we’re prepping the server ahead of time so we’re ready. Here’s a screenshot.
Change in plans, sorry.

New Website Look

Hey guys, I’ve decided to make a change to the website. The home page now shows a description of the server with rules, rank info, and screenshots included separately on the same page. The news will now be located under the News section.

I hope you guys enjoy!
