Redstone Server

Hey guys, I know everyone is waiting for the server to get back online, so I wanted to give you an idea of what happened.
In a nutshell, the server box started having hardware issues again, and after seeing this happen so many times over the last months we decided to switch to a different hosting model. Instead of owning and maintaining a physical box we will move to a virtualized cloud hosting solution. This is going to take some time as we need to transfer gigabytes of data. Please bear with us, and as always, we're looking forward to seeing you on the server!

UPD: File and database migration complete, bringing up the server and testing, temp lockdown via whitelist.
UPD2: Back up!
UPD3: As of March 12th, 10AM GMT, the hoster is migrating our server to another hardware node which will cause several hours of downtime.
UPD4: We're back online.
UPD5: Ok guys, we're at a point where we decide whether we want to keep the new hoster or not. If they can't rectify this issue today, we'll be looking for alternatives. Sorry about that, you know we are getting frustrated just as much as you are.
UPD6 Back online, and hopefully this will last.

Happy new Year!!!!

Hello fellow users, I hope that you will have a great time today. Be careful with the fireworks.

The server has been going for more then one year and six months now. It's huge.
We want to thank everyone that has been with us this year. We want to thank everyone that has donated, the money is really appreciated.

The Redstone server staff wishes you a Happy New Year!!

EDIT by Stym: updated to 1.4.5 beta build... so far so good. Thanks for your patience, all. The 1.4.4 clients are compatible with 1.4.5

The server is empty, and I think the reason is that many players are playing on 1.4.4, the server is not updated to 1.4.4 (YET!). We will update when all plugins (or the most important ones) are stable enough and the recommended build of bukkit for 1.4.4 comes out.

If you want to play, follow these instructions from Flandyn:

You could restore your minecraft folder, or download minecraft for 1.4.2. When you are updating it doesn't mean it is impossible to join.
How to restore your folder:
Press Windows button -> Write this in the search section %Appdata% -> Go to roaming -> Then right click your minecraft folder -> Go to properties -> Then hit earlier versions -> Wait a few second and you will see the options -> Go the the date you updated your minecraft or before -> Then restore.
I hope that this would help you.

If this doesn't work, download this program MCNostalgia and follow his (sonicrules) instructions on the post.

Hi everyone, here's a silly plugin for your enjoyment:

Usage: /hugg <username>
Available to everyone. Awesome heart effects included.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night.

We mods have decided that a clean up in the learners area is necessery! We will start cleaning it next week. If you got any projects you would like to store. Tell a mod. The cleaning has not got any speciel times, but it would be on friday, satureday or sunday. If you havn't notified the mods in this week, then it would be most likly wiped away, so be careful! As always Flandyn will be active as much as he can. And you will probably see some other mods aswell. I hope this is good news for most of you. Remember that we are not saving very small and useless things... Good Luck!

Imagine a friend is helping you work on your redstone circuit and the following dialogue ensues:
- I think you need to increase delay on this repeater.
- Which one, this one?
- No, this one over here.
- This one?
- NO, this one right here!
- This one then?
- GOD #$%@#, NO!

Well we've faced this problem too and here is a solution: a custom built plugin (inspired by the ping tool in Portal 2, by the way).
Just equip an arrow, point to the block you want to highlight, and right click. Everyone around that area will see a mob spawner-like flash around the block you are highlighting. That's it, enjoy!

The function is available for Learner+ ranks, and the source code will be published some time soon.

Our hard working mods Onlybob and Flandyn have been setting up a new spawn in Redstone world. The new spawn is bigger, and contains a lot of useful information. Some of the information, is about how to get ranked up, important warps, a bit about every rank, etc. With the new spawn we will have a way to give them the choice of accepting the rules. We will still give a thanks to TVultimatrix that made our last spawn. And Dubastot before that. The spawn is still not going to be our main spawn, though I think it fits perfectly for the job to represent our redstone server.
Please add thoughs, views about the spawn. We are with happiness taking criticism against the new spawn. So comment on the things you think of it!

Some useful macros have been added to the server.

Teleportation (everyone):
/rs - teleports you to RS world
/cr - teleports you to Creative world
/j (Learner+) - teleports you to where your crosshair is pointing

Kits (Learner+):
/kit redstone and /kit rs - gives you frequently used redstone utensils
/kit wool - colored wool
/kit warrior - good for survival mode
/kit creative - common creative building materials

Enjoy!

I will start this post by saying: "Thanks for all the hard work put into a the spawn contest." We had some great builds to choose from. Neoblade1624 didn't manage to show up under the judging, so Flandyn and Emilgardis took the resposibility in their own hands. And picked out a new awesome spawn. It came out pretty well, though it was a tough choice. I hope you all like, or hopefully love the new spawn and enjoyed the contest! I did for sure atleast :D But to the more important part!

Because this contest promised out a rank up for the winner! So the Grand price winner Of The Spawn Contest Build! TVultimatrix! Congratulation. His spawn has a very original design for his exterior, we liked that he made the exterior so detailed. We missed that part on most of the spawns :3. He also made great places for signs! With a good general structure, this was a building many people can look up to. Littarly :P. TVultimatrix also scored for not using redstone on the floor but redstonelamps instead. Smart move :P. Thank you all for a great and amazing contest! We will try to make more of these challenges in the future :D

If you want to congratulate the winner: Write it as a comment here! :D (TVultimatrix is now both Senior and Donator!)
