I would like you to know that i have emailed swasked(the youtube person) about our server.

I would like you to know that i have emailed swasked(the youtube person) about our server. He may or may not feature the server in an upcoming episode of Open Minecraft.
The series(for those who dont know) is about minecraft servers, and you should(if you havent) watch all of them. They are on youtube called Open Minecraft. I have so far seen 8 episodes of the series.
Hopefully Swasked will feature the server, and i will give an update as soon as i know. As for you Broonie, tell me if this is not ok. And i will notify Swask.

Server Status Indicator

Was bored.

Was bored. Made crude server status indicator.

It will suffice until Broonie comes up with something better.



It tells you whether the server is working as well as how many people are currently playing. If the server is full, it will make a *ding* noise when space becomes available.

It's working off the same data that the live cartograph is running off, and is requesting said data at the same rate as the cartograph does, so should not add any extra strain to the server. I am aware that I did not ask Broonie's permission to make this and will gladly remove it upon request.

"Minecraft will reach Beta status on December 20th, 2010."

"Minecraft will reach Beta status on December 20th, 2010."
YAY!!!!!!!

from tumblr, [ref: notch.tumblr.com]

And the next game update (with server-side inventory) is coming next week, before Beta

We will also change the license to remove the line that promises all future versions of the game for free. Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise.

North of the castle that will be the spawn point, there is a small wooden house in the middle of a frozen lake.

North of the castle that will be the spawn point, there is a small wooden house in the middle of a frozen lake. Inside, you'll find a mineshaft. This mineshaft is to collect stone to make a Free-To-Take mob system, the design of which is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfS_Y0mPA40
Once we have 45000 stone, (Oxifire) will begin this construction. If you all want all the mob drops you can handle, please mine here and leave me your stone!
Oh, did I forget to mention the best part? You can keep anything you find down there other than stone! Even diamond! I just would like your stone, please.

I implore you all to visit the site regularly to keep up with the updates and the rules, which are constantly updated in the forums.

I implore you all to visit the site regularly to keep up with the updates and the rules, which are constantly updated in the forums.

Here are the rules for all that have missed them. Ignorance is no excuse. Enjoy.

Welcome To Crazy-Fools.co.uk, new or old, we recommend you to keep up to date on the rules.

[COMMUNITY e.g. server and website]
1. Respect other players, if they wish to be left alone, leave them alone, if they require some help, give them some help, if they don't want to be killed, don't kill them. Be friendly to each other. So no harassment or stalking.
2. No excessive swearing or offensive language. While we all like to have a joke, excessive swearing is a big no-no.
3. Account sharing on both forum and server is forbidden, we are increasing our technologies to track this.
4. DON'T TALK IN CAPS, ITS REALLY ANNOYING.
5. If you have an issue, PM or /msg a mod, helper, or admin.
6. Talk in ENGLISH, keep other languages to /msg and pm. This allows anybody to join in the fun and conversation.

SERVER
1. No silly stupid buildings, e.g 1x1xb towers, offensive signs.
2. No offensive statements in signs, this will get you banned.
3. No begging for helper, mod, and admin.
4. A pink name [like Broonies] can be obtained for a small donation of 300GBP*
5. Ask before you teleport to a player, it could result in your death otherwise. [and we won't restore your items.]
6. At times when the server is full, keep active, otherwise you could be kicked for being AFK.
7. If your banned from the server, appeal on the forum.
8. PvP will only be enabled in PvP areas only, if you require a PvP area to be created, ask a mod.
9. No destruction of creations that are not yours. So no griefing or thieving.
10. No Hacks, inventory or other. This includes glitches.
11. Do not enforce these rules by yourself, ask an available helper, moderator or admin.
12. You can use tnt, obsidian, adminium, lava or fire but please be careful with it.
13. Ask before you teleport to a player.
14. Do not go AFK at peak times. (Away from keyboard)
15. Please do not duplicate items, strict enforcement on rare items. NB, See list below.


PVP Rules
This section may change regularly so check often.

1. Please do not harass players constantly. Do not teleport and kill.
2. Do not kill people on their land, unless provoked.
3. Do not attack moderators.


Breaking these rules can receive a warning, kick or ban.
If your behaviour is deemed unacceptable, then a mod will still ban you.

Do not be an arse.
