Via AquaXV:

As you all have noticed by now the server has been offline for a while, the cause was a power outage at the datacenter which reset a setting. After some contact with natbyte he let out there is no intention in keeping the server online because the times he was online there was nobody playing so he considered it a waste of energy. He did not tell us when he would pull the plug.

Last week was this moment, he shut down the server permanently.

He did mention working on a smaller vanilla server (hosted on a different machine) with only protection plugins. As of yet I do not have more information about this new server.

It is with great regrets to inform you MinecraftServer.com as we all knew it is no more. I do want to thank you all for the wonderful and amazing times and for being able to be part of this once amazing community. And I speak for all the staff when I say; Thank you.

Apparently the forums will continue to exist for the known future, however do not expect much activity here unless something happens; if you wish to keep up with the community, we do have a discord server, available HERE.

Sincerely,
BSPiotr and the rest of the OS Team (AquaXV, Dzyriq, Stanky2)
And of course, Natbyte

Server updated to 1.12!

All plugins are updated.
No data or entities were lost during the update.

A change has been made to the Novice Gatherer requirement;
instead of smelting 1500 iron ingots you now need to craft 3000 smooth stone bricks.
This change is made to prevent an exploit with the iron ingots.

This weekend, starting on Friday, April 28th, at 12pm CEST, everybody will have double claim block gain!
Instead of the regular 75 blocks per hour you will obtain 150 blocks per hour.
The increased gain will last until Monday, May 1st, 12pm CEST.

See you in the server!

Some updates to know about.

• We have started generating new ores in the map so that you will find some of all ores on all levels.
• Your horse will now come with you when doing teleports. (As long as you are rideing it)
• /sw stuck will take you out of the nether for free , but with a 60 sec warmup.
• /sw spawn will take you to the spawn area in the nether with the cost of 1 iron ingot.
• The permission to spawn the wither can now be purchased from spawn, across the bridge (Costs 1 full set of chainmail + 1 dragon head)

All Gatherers can now catch mobs in eggs. Just bring along some redstone and normal chicken eggs and go out hunting.
Just a few notes:

• You need Redstonedust and Eggs
• You need to weaken hostile mobs before you can catch them.
• Not all mobs can be caught as a novice Gatherer

Finally! A new rank has come to the creative server! The video has all the info you need about it!
