Hey guys, I’m going to be changing some stuff on the server, but nothing major. Here’s what’s going to be new:

1. Auctions
2. Ranged Chat
3. Tweaking of chat settings

You may have noticed that there are no shops anymore. I personally hated shops because it ruined the fun in Minecraft. You didn’t have to work for anything, you just had to sell dirt and then buy resources. I figured that rather than getting rid of user commerce all together, I would substitute it with an auctions system. With this system in place, you will be able to auction off items at a set value. As more people auction, the value increases. The final bidder will earn the item and hand over the item requested as trade.

Another change is ranged chat. Some of you may be wondering what ranged chat is. What ranged chat achieves is a “radius” of who can here you. For example, if nobody’s near by, your chat will not be heard. In order to speak globally, just add a ! to the beginning of your message:

Examples:

• Hey guys → “Your message was not heard.”
• !Hey guys → [Member] username: Hey guys

As you should have noticed, Livecraft died. We had a hard drive failure; however, the hard drive survived. The data, however, did not. Everything was wiped, including the website, server, and everything. Me, Evil, and Medius have spent the last week getting Livecraft online and working nicely. It should be a lot faster than it used to be.

What’s new:

1. Craftbook replaced Essentials
2. Craftbook replaced TimeLock
3. PermissionsEx replaced Essentials GroupManager
4. ChatManager replaced Essentials Chat

Command differences:

1. No more /tpa. Use /call instead.
2. /back = resume from /afk.
3. Use /return to go back to a location you were just at.

Other changes:

1. Website died. D:
2. Everything else died
3. Server was totally reset.

I know many of you probably lost items from the new map, but there was no possible way to recover the lost data. Even if I could have recovered the map, it would have been severely corrupted and just not worth fixing.

shushker and I (alfonsojon) have been busy developing a website to replace this one. It might look a little different, but what powers it is extremely different.

The new website is home-made, but the one you’re reading this on is powered by WordPress.

You can see it by clicking the “Test website!” link up in the navigation bar.

Plans for the new site:

Check if the user actually has a minecraft account before registering
Be way faster
Have forums and other neat stuff
Better website chat
Make it easier to use

Current status:
Layout made and designed
Begin working on news functions
Begin working on user registration functions

Livecraft’s online and ready for you guys to visit! Some things may be buggy such as furnaces and inventories however this should be resolved shortly.
Enjoy!

I’ve been busy the last 3 days working on the site. I’m trying to tweak the theme so it looks great while being even more functional than ever. There will soon be a photo gallery for promoting epic builds, you can pm others, and even upload your own screenshots.
