Server Relocation

by Grimm — Categories: News7 Comments

It has finally come to the point where Andy and I have decided, in the best interest of the server, that it is time to relocate the server. Once Andy is prepared and ready, he will be shutting down the server and shipping it to me. This process may take a week or so, but once it arrives, the server will be back up and functioning again!

Once the server arrives and is set up, I will be changing a lot of the values and plugins back to a previous state where things are easier, such as skill levelling. I’ll probably also add a few fun plugins to the game that people can enjoy, but I digress.

Andyvgr will still be hosting the website and the forums for us. I’d definitely like to thank Andyvgr for all the work he’s done on the server up to this point. Originally, I wanted to run a minecraft server privately to have fun with it, and then eventually develop it into a full server, and Andy had the hardware for it and a keen knowledge of technical information useful in setting up the server efficiently. He enjoyed fixing things on the server and learning more about the software we used for hosting the server, while I enjoyed running and managing the experience inside the game.

Without Andyvgr, we would never have gotten this far, so a full salute to him for all the amazing work he’s done for us. Occasionally he may still assist in technical issues, but for the most part, he’s got a life to live and a new girlfriend to please (Way to go Andy!), and he will most likely not be an official part of the Bretonia’s Best Minecraft server after this (this depends on whether or not he wants this, since Real Life is stepping in more).

    If you updated your minecraft client, then it is of no consequence because we enforce the use of Spoutcraft only on the server. We will not be updating the server until Bukkit does, but now that we use Spoutcraft it is MUCH easier for players to stay on the server after minecraft updates.

    When using the spoutcraft client, before logging in, press the Options button underneath the login button. At the top of the options window it gives you the choice of which Spoutcraft build to use. I recommend build 1000, since this build is the latest recommended Spoutcraft build to work with minecraft 1.0.

    Thats the nice thing about Spoutcraft now. You can still connect to the server AND play the new content on the original Minecraft client, lol.
