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.

News regarding Minecraft 1.7
I have decided that there will not be a map reset for Minecraft 1.7. We are preparing something rather significant, and I would like to have it ready upon the arrival of the next version of Minecraft, be it version 1.8 or 2.0. This is a project which has been worked on for the last few weeks in the flatlands. For the time being, the new blocks from Minecraft 1.7 will not work. They will either be substituted with stone or a similar block. Please refrain from using these blocks.
mcMMO Issues
mcMMO, the plugin which enables MMO-like features in Minecraft, is currently non-operational. It may not be working until I can repair the database, or until the server migrates to Minecraft 1.7. Until then, mcMMO will not work as intended. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Looks like I fixed it faster than I wanted to. Enjoy.

[IMPORTANT] Server Hardware Swap
Unfortunately, the server’s main CPU fan is not working, resulting in the server overheating (and a LOT of noise). As a result of this, I have given up my personal computer to serve as the main server for now. The CPU is faster, but there is less RAM. I advise any Architects or staff who are using WorldEdit to NOT perform large operations at this time, as the server only has half of the RAM it used to. Things will be back to normal once I am capable of replacing the fan, but until then, this will have to make do.
Regards,
Jonathan Alfonso
[IMPORTANT] 1.6.4 Update
I have updated the server to Minecraft 1.6.4. For a short time, both mcMMO and TrainCarts will not function. Once these plugins are updated and work on 1.6.4, everything will be back to normal.
Edit: All updated and ready to go.
Minecraft 1.6.2 had an exploit which allowed someone to steal someone else’s session and log into a server as if they were that user. This affected us directly, and someone logged as me (alfonsojon), giving them full access to the server. Fortunately, David (Drak1234) restored the server, but this should not happen in 1.6.4
The only major reason this update was released was to fix this major security flaw.

[IMPORTANT] We’re back!
Hey guys, just posting to say we’re back online! Here’s a picture of our current spawn 🙂
New world info:
- World is 512 blocks high instead of 256 blocks high
- World is using the seed livecraft instead of Livecraft
- World is using the large biomes setting.
Enjoy!

[IMPORTANT] Emergency Reset
Hi guys, rolling the map back didn’t work. The server map is slowly regenerating. I honestly don’t know what’s going on, but the map is just going haywire. The flatlands, redstone flatlands, and skylands worlds were saved; however, the rest is not able to be saved. I’m sorry guys 🙁
The reset will be taking place today at 3:00 PM EDT/8:00 PM UTC. If I didn’t have to reset, I wouldn’t. I’m sorry guys.

Updates
Hey guys, I apologize for my inactivity. School’s wrapping up and I have finals to prepare for, so I won’t be online. Additionally, my computer monitor broke (it squeals whenever it’s on), so I need to repair that as well.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF
As many of you have noticed, the server has become very unstable as of late. I am working my best to fix this, but I can’t test by myself. I need you guys to report to alfonsojon1997@gmail.com when the server has crashed as soon as possible, if possible. I need to know when the server goes down so I can fix it.
MINECRAFT 1.6
An upcoming event is the release of Minecraft 1.6. This version will have many new features; however, as of now, it does not have any new changes to world generation. Unless a change to the world generation format is implemented, there will be no map reset. Additionally, there will be nothing “extremely new” in the server. Things should stay the same but be a lot cooler 🙂
MORE DOWNTIME???
There -may- be downtime in the near future (tomorrow or Saturday) because our internet bill is overdue. I am not sure how long it will be down, but as always, we’ll be back up and ready for you guys to play again ASAP.
