Server news:

• As usual, my server is pretty unreliable and I'm not the most reliable admin either, so if anybody else wants to take up the task of hosting a VIP minecraft server, don't hold back!
• At request, I generated a new world with the stable version of the biome-terrain mod.
• I installed CraftBukkit with the Essential plugins. You can see available commands by using /help. Let me know if you want other plugins.
• Don't think, feel!

Would any VIPPERS be interested in playing on a DESERT MAP or a map with a specific biome?

I like most biomes, so the DESERT MAP would be fun!

Doesn't craftbukkit offer some form of multi-world option? If so, it might be possible to use this in combination with biometerrain's per-map settings to create a separate desert map(and the nether, maybe?)

If not here is the information for the said DESERT MAP. I would rather play on this instead of the current MOUNTAIN DITCH MOUNTAIN IS THIS NORWAY map.

I think a desert map would be fun too. Unfortunately biometerrain doesn't have support for multiple worlds yet. I tried hacking around it, but no success yet.

I'll continue looking for a way to add a desert world, but in the meantime, enjoy your portal to HELL! To go to hell, just jump on this bed (it's located between spawn and the VIP Fort.) To get back to the normal world, find the obsidian platform in hell (also near the spawn) and walk into the sign that says "TAKE ME HOME".

I achieved enlightenment

At first I thought I was in Real VIP Heaven; I soon realized I was in Real VIP Hell.

Are VIPPPERS going to play on a DESERT MAP any time soon? I imagine creeper craters and mobs wouldn't be a problem with all that sand!

I also believe this mod would provide much wwwww but it requires both the server and player to have the same mod files.

Updated to 1.4, and finally added a DESERT WORLD! There's a portal to the desert near spawn.

I will consider the guns/grappling hook mod in the future!

A quick note: the recent updates seem to have broken the server sometime around yesterday. From the wiki, the current server version should be 1.5_02.

Every time Minecraft updates, it takes some time for craftbukkit to catch up. This is the price of running mods. I've decided it's easier and better to wait until the new craftbukkit comes out rather than update to the new version without mods. For now you can still use a 1.4 client to connect to the server (see http://bit.ly/hc2Sfv for instructions on how to downgrade your client.)

I've been away for quite a while, but I never expected it to come to this! They even took the massive ore stockpile I had built up. Here's hoping it was an outsider...

There has been an elusive troll on this server for months now. I don't have the server logs, but I'll send him to the tanasinn chamber if I ever find him.

Okay, I'm back and the server is finally updated to work with 1.6.6.

• Biometerrainmod turned into Phoenixterrainmod which doesn't have bukkit support yet so if you go too far in the desert it won't be desert anymore.

• I apologize for the elusive trolls. I couldn't figure out much from the server logs and I don't have much time to police the server so I'll leave it up to the moderators.

** 30 Day Server Shutdown Notice **
I will be shutting down my server in 30 days because I am moving to another country. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you would like to take over the server, please e-mail me at vip.minecrafting AT gmail DOT com, and I can give you everything you need!

I know that there's not that much activity on the server these days anyway, but I thought I should give everybody some advance notice.

Thank you for providing the server as long as you have. See you later space cowboy!
