My my... Well this is certainly interesting to wake up to.
When it comes to waiting for plugins to update, of course we mean the important plugins such as Bukkit, Essentials, Permissions, and such. These are crucial to ensure that the server runs properly while making sure that protections are kept and operational commands are available. Most everything else is just fluff; additions that enhance our gameplay, but not necessary to run the server. Yes, we've done a lot of waiting for updates in the past, but that was due to various reasons. Remember how long it took Bukkit to update after Minecraft full release went live? We got tired of weeks of waiting and tried the experimental build so that we could finally get around to playing the full game. That was because the changes to the game were quite massive. Even then, we still had issues, which thankfully got resolved once Bukkit finally updated to its current iteration.
Like I said, the changes in this new Minecraft update are interesting, but not worth updating on Day 1. You could argue that the changes are miniscule enough that waiting for Bukkit updates and the like is pointless, but *shrugs* I don't know. Stuffman and I haven't even discussed the future update.
Know to address the line that irked me quite nicely:
Also, where is the challenge world we were promised a challenge world I WANT IT. No but seriously are we waiting for it to update or something? I dont really know what you guys plan on doing but if you are in fact doing biosphere it has in fact updated. You'd better have a better excuse than :effort: that's all I gotta say :V
You'll have to forgive an old Strafe for not remembering such a promise. I know that there was a fair bit of talk of an alternate world, but the subject never came up during our upgrade and map change. If I recall, most of the discussion about Biosphere was hype and hoping, but it never evolved past that.
Let me give you a quick run-down of our current setup. Two worlds, each with a sizable (even controversial) border that spans ~5000x5000. Each world, when fully explored, will be at least 500MB of data out of our 2GB HDD limit. World 1 and World 2 take up half of our disk space. An equal border limit was established for the Nether. I know that we'll likely not explore
that much of the Nether, but the possibility is there. The remaining space is spent on plugins, server files, player files, Dynmap render files.... you get the picture. To throw another world on top of this structure just isn't going to work. We would have to either trim down the existing world sizes,
or eliminate one of the worlds,
or spend more money to upgrade to a higher HDD capacity. Ugh. Not to mention the fact that the server strains to keep up with having people in more than two worlds at the same time as it is!
I noticed that Stuffman said that he's "looking into it", but I don't know how to grant this request without
completely starting over again. And
that would be a slap in the face to all of the hours I've spent importing people's structures. Just sayin'.
EDIT- I hope the new sheep wool regrowth will allow them to keep their colors.
Sadly, the video didn't highlight that part. Oh. Shady already said that they do. :derp:
