The big update is here! The server is back! *throws funfetti*
The map error (rather, oversight) has been fixed, and the map is currently being regenerated. These fixes will result in improved performance on my machine, and the map should load faster in your browser. Nice!
Also, Flo's been made a server moderator, mostly because I trust him to build Really Cool ShitTM for all the server to enjoy. Don't fuq up my server, boi-o.
In addition, while working on this, several new plugins were installed and have now been configured, to award everyone for their patience:
- Vault
- ChairsReloaded
- Minepacks
- EssentialsX (still awaiting expansion plugins)
- Per-world Inventory
- uSkyblock (also "Cleanroom Generator," but that's simply for me to spawn blank maps)
- Multiverse2 ("Core" & "Portals")
Most of these do little more than add additional functionality for future changes (like Skyblock, Vault, & Multiverse). however, several give players on the server additional commands and abilities to use, and I know you're going to love them and wonder how you ever lived without them! Let's go through them, so you know what's waiting for you (as a rule, you can type /help <plugin name> for all commands associated with that plugin, or just /help for every command you can access):
- - EssentialsX - -
A fork of the abandoned "Essentials" plugin, this plugin ads huge changes and functionality to users...and the things I've allowed for you to do aren't even a fraction of what it can do or allow! You can send/receive mail, use private messages, set home locations and teleport to them at willAs a matter of fact, the collection of commands is so massive, I don't have time to list them all here for your convenience. BUT! I will try to at least give a rundown of some of the most important stuff:
Sign commands:: you can set up signs to perform certain functions! Currently, only trading (which may not work yet, sans an economy), disposal (trash), and mail signs can be made, but more may be added in the future. You can read about how to make these special signs here.
Mail:: You can send and receive mail, for offline private communications! Use /mail in game for instructions and to use your mail.
Private chat:: You can now send private chat messages in game! Type /msg <username> (or /m, /t, /tell) to send a pm to that person; use /r (or /reply) to respond to someone you messaged, but you'll need to use /r <username> to change the target of your replies, of someone else messages you and you want to respond to them, instead.
Create & Teleport to Homes:: The most epic and useful of all, use /sethome <home_name> to set the location your standing on as a home location; use /home <home_name> to teleport to your home location (it automatically defaults to your bed). /delhome <home_name> will delete a home location.
Teleport to Spawn whenever you want:: /spawn
Go kill yourself...:: /suicide
...then go back and get your stuff:: You can go back to the last place you teleported from, or the last location where you died, with /back. Enjoy it while you can, this may disappear around/before the server goes public.
Get your bearings:: Find out where you are without cluttering debug info with /depth, /getpos, & /compass. If you've spent too much time spelunking, you can figure out what time it is with /time.
@ For a list of commands while in game, type /help essentials in chat.

- - ChairsReloaded - -
Tired of ugly-ass minecart chair exploits, or nice-looking chairs that do nothing? Well, now you have working chairs! There are no commands here, just functionality. To make a working chair:
1) Place a stair block. Any stair block, in any number in a continuous string.
2) Place a blank sign on either end of the stair block.
3) Right click the stair to sit.
That's all there is to it.
- - Minepacks - -
Frustrated with having to make, like, fifty trips to a storage chest while mining because your inventory got filled with 20 stacks of dirt/cobblestone and a handful of extraneous items that take up all the rest of your inventory even though they're not stacking? Me to! So I doubled your inventory size through the use of "backpacks!" What's more, you keep all the items in your backpack if you die, even if you die in lava! Convenient, innit?
Commands:
◾/backpack help - Lists all the commands of this plugin.
◾/backpack - Opens your backpack.
◾/backpack clean - Removes all items from the players backpack.
That's it, I guess. Go forth and build. o/
