At last, the Official Release has arrived. Time to step up my schematic work.. We'll be starting a completely new set of worlds: One main world, the Nether, the End, and most likely a custom world to be determined later. It seems that we'll be updating as soon as the 1.0 Bukkit is released? So, now is the time to get to make preparations to all of your properties.
Please be sure to let me know if you have begun any new projects, or have any lurking underground. I cannot save them if I do not know about them.
Also, everyone that has been de-torching their areas, please don't remove every single one. We don't want mobs destroying things I have not yet saved. Maybe cut down on some of the lighting, but don't eliminate it entirely.
About the Nether bridge: I thought that making it that wide was enough of a protection from people walking off of its sides. Were you being chased by a hostile mob at the time? Besides, we'll get a new Nether before long.
On creeper nerfing: Doesn't seem that you'll get your way, Exuro. At least armor will be stronger... but you'll still have your horrible luck with ninja mobs.
On food: There is a tower to the south of the spawn area that houses the community farms. There, you can score a fairly large amount of wheat to make your own bread. Just be sure to reseed the fields whenever you are done collecting.
