Minecraft Crafter's Community

Well, I think most of my busy time with work just slowed down, so with that I'll start working on updating the server which I know all of you would love for us to do. If possible I'll try to get a vanilla server up and running with the basic things for you to play on.

Update: The server is now back up and running fine at it's new location!

Starting tomorrow, the server will be down as I am moving. I am hoping I can get it back up later that same day, but you know how these things go... Worst case, it should be down for no longer than a week!

Apologies for the short notice, I was in a bit of a pickle for a while as far as internet connectivity goes, but now I've got a solid plan for it. Just have a decent amount of network hardware to set back up and reconfiguration to do once I turn it all back on.

Thanks for your patience!

Greetings all!

We have announcement to make regarding a change to our rules on the topic of banned players and their items. The rules wiki has been updated to reflect this change, and it is posted below for your viewing.
This topic has been brought to the Admin team's attention and we have discussed this at great length. While this effects a small percentage of our member base, it's important to bring this to light due to the nature of the issue.
Previously, when someone asked about a permanently banned player's items, we may have given some of it away. As a result of discussion, we will no longer continue this practice.

Permanently Banned Players
Items
If a member has been permanently banned from our community, regardless of player level, VIP etc. or otherwise, ALL items belonging to this member including chests in the worlds and if they have a vault will be deleted immediately.
NOTE: Do not ask for any of these items, they will not be given out...

Given the recent lengthy outage, I thought I would reiterate our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MinecraftCC-123181857760824/

In the even of server downtime, this is where I will communicate what's going on. If you wish to be informed, go ahead and "like" the page so that you can receive future updates and notifications.

I really don't like using Facebook for this, but I think it's really the best method outside of the forum we can use. If someone has a better (family-friendly!) suggestion, let me know.

I hope everyone enjoys the new server and all the hard work all of the admins and moderators have put into it!
I've added a few new commands with 1.9 so I'll give a short list of the new ones I can immediately think of.

/lobby - Takes you to the lobby
/build - Takes you to build
/survival - Takes you to survival
/hardcore - Takes you to hardcore
/clans - Takes you to clans
/skyblock - Takes you to skyblock
/resource - Takes you to resource
/creative - Takes you to creative
/games - Takes you to games
/city - Takes you to city
/flat - Takes you to flatlands
/vote kick <name> - Starts a vote kick for players to kick an unruly...

I'm going to try and bring the 1.9 server a little bit early.
I'm aiming for April 22. I'll need maybe at least a week or less of testing time to ensure all the plugins using the mysql are working properly. So this means there will be a few days of a temporary server to allow me to use the main server ports for last minute checks.

April 22 - Temp Server Starts
April 25 - Release of CC 1.9

If you guys would like to suggest the style temp server you all would like to play for those few days, then I'll use those ideas and run that. Also keep in mind that temporary servers are not saved. No items will be kept from temp servers nor will any maps be kept. It is only there to pass those few days until the main server comes back up. But I'll try to at least make it fun.
Also, just because these maps are temporary does not make them exempt from CC rules. Banning for basic rules such as swearing or advertising will still be enforced...

Please everyone welcome our newest member of the administration, bmlzootown!
Bml has easily been hands down one of the most helpful members of MinecraftCC and has proven his trust and skill to the administrators on numerous occasions to be one himself. Even from when he first joined the server as a white named guest, he had been helpful to the community and always put them before himself. It was this that earned him a moderation position. He continued being helpful then to not only the community but to the entire moderation and administration team. It was this that earned him a position as a trusted third level moderator. Ever since, bml has still shown unrelenting dedication to the server and it's community and has done countless more things which have helped make the server what it is today.
So now it is all of these things together that he has been carefully chosen to be DrMadFellow's...

On March 2, 2016 I received an email from Mojang stating that my account had been 'compromised' and my password automatically reset. I have since inquired Mojang Customer Support about the nature of this attack, and I am waiting to hear back whether or not my password was successfully discovered or simply a target in a larger brute-force attack.

I have not yet gotten a reply from Mojang, as their Customer Support page states:
From this we can assume that many accounts were reset on the 2nd of March, possibly as part of a large-scale attempt at several thousand accounts. I'll post here any further information I can find out about this incident.

In the meantime, if you have received a similar email, I suggest you all find new passwords for your Minecraft account as well as any other online sites that may share the...

As you all may know, lots of changes are coming with 1.9. Currently we are working on upgrading our plugins to work with 1.9 and are preparing the stated maps below. This process will take about 2 months or more to complete so everyone has plenty of time to prepare.

Some changes that will be happening:
We will be resetting some worlds, removing some worlds, and leaving some worlds alone entirely. Please keep in mind that some of these worlds are now upwards in the size of 30 gigabytes per map.

Worlds Being Reset:

Survival4_the_end
Clans

Resource will be reset tomorrow (March 1st, 2016). It could happen at any time tomorrow, so be sure to get all your goodies out now.
Resets should follow this trend henceforth, the 1st of every month, unless something major comes up.

-------------------------------------
The Resource map will be wiped and reset. The spawn will look the same as that will persist from map to map.

Current day for reset: Tuesday March 1, 2016 depending on how my work schedule allows. I'll try to put a message on the server as well. -Eaglestallon
