That's right, an official bukkit release of 1.4 is now on the server!

Today's repeated server crashes have been caused by Water Strainers.

Due to their buggy nature, have been blocked and removed from Tekkit.

If you see any water strainers, please remove them.

To have them re-enabled, please complain to the respective author to fix the bug.

Things appear to be in a bad way over at Bukkit, with confirmation of only one bukkit staff member working on a new release.

There has also been reports of servers being updated, however these are not official and may be hacks/viruses/more nasty things.

Crazy Fools will be updated as soon as an official release has been put out there.

You only need to do this once.

Once 1.4 comes out, the vanilla server will be regenerated with a new world, the nether and the end will also be affected.

The current world, will still be accessible through a world portal once the new world has been generated.

The author of the wireless redstone mod has left debug code which affects the Triangulator.

This causes the console to spam endless line which will eventually crash the server.

The item (6357) has been disabled in the meantime.

We've already had the server grind to a halt twice within 12 hours; therefore a new rule will be introduced for the tekkit server.

Ensure that ALL your machines are switched off when you log off. Otherwise all members of staff have the right to terminate your machine by cutting the power cable or deactivating the power supplies by any sensible means if they are seen as a threat which may slow down the server.

From Sunday the 14th of October 2012, this will be a punishable offense from warning and machine destruction, any further incidents will be given the benefit of being an accident, within reason.
