Server Update: Multiworld Closed

Due to a slowdown in the terrain rendering while travelling, which I've notice ever since I added the Multiworld plugin, I will be temporarily disabling this plugin to see if it improved performance.

If the server runs better with it off, it will remain so except for special events that would require it:

• Special Minigame Worlds
• Adventure Maps
• Quest Related Zones

What... is your quest?

I have recently added a couple plugins that will allow for the addition of quests to the server.

I am still in the process of learning how to create quests with these plugins, so hang in there.

The intention will be for two ways of accepting quests:
1) Special NPCs will offer quests when you talk to them (right click)
2) Job boards to be located in pubs, adventure guilds, and signs.

NPCs that can offer quests will have an icon floating over their head to draw attention to themselves.

The Island

Another new world has appeared: Kamino

Use this as an Island Survival map, or claim it for your new homestead.

Server Update: Brave New Worlds

The first alternate world is open to everyone.  Type the command "/goto home" to visit this new world.

Personal inventories will pass with you from one world to another, as will your Enderchest Inventory, so you can keep squirreling away your hoard of treasures at home while transporting building materials from one world to another.

To return to the original world, you can use any recall method available (recall spell, map, or Chimaera Wing), or type the command "/goto qwerty".  I'm hoping to replace this with a good "Gate" system to connect the worlds soon.

NOTE: using the /goto command will always teleport you to the world's spawn location, so it's always a good idea to have your recall spell set your home base, as the Chimaera Wing and map will always take you back to the last place you slept.

If you encounter any issues with this, please let us know in game, by email, or leave a message here.

Minecraft Multiverse Testing

I will be testing a new Bukkit Plugin that will allow us to have multiple worlds.  However, this will require you to set your Minecraft launcher to launch you in Minecraft Version 1.7.2 in order to join the server.

I will post more once I finish testing and open up this plugin for general use.

Plugin Spotlight: Nether Tools

The Nether Tools plugin adds custom crafting recipes which allow players to craft tools and weapons from netherrack, glowstone, and quartz. They use the same crafting procedures at normal tools but replace the stone with netherrack and the sticks with bones.

Due to the fact that these new items are crafted from materials from the Nether, they all are automatically imbued with magical properties.

Examples of Nether Tools:

Netherrack tools have the following properties:

• Increased Durability
• Added Efficiency
• Fire Aspect (set enemies on fire)

Glowstone tools properties:

• Increased Durability
• Added Efficiency

Quartz tools properties:

• Increased Durability
• Added Efficiency
• Do extra damage to undead enemies

Unfortunately, due to their nature, they are not easily repaired at McMMO anvils and often loose their special properties.
