Minecraft 1.2.4 is out!

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:38:50 +0000

Mojang have just released an update to Minecraft, bringing us to 1.2.4.

As usual do not update your clients as Minecraft has bumped the protocol version and you will not be able to play on our server until we can update to a stable build.

This update is primarily a bug fix release but does include some nice improvements as well:

Fixed:

Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% cpu and make my computer melt
Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there’s blocks at max height
Fixed an old bug with signs clearing text while you’re editing them in SMP
Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
Fixed the “flickering” of chat as it vanishes off the screen
Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can’t survive
Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on
“save-all” (server) now works even when you have toggled “save-off”
Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you’re standing on them
Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession
Fixed falling off ledge corners while holding shift
Fixed players falling when reconnecting to servers where they were previously flying

Added:

Chat history and much better chat editing
A few new decoration blocks
“Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
Made cats more realistic (read: probably annoying). I hope it’s enough to cancel out any joy you may receive from the previous feature!
Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs.

Although this update is good for us in the long run it is as annoying for us as it is for you. We we're just getting close to being fully updated and they throw another patch at us. This means it is going to take even longer for us to get our current plugins fully working which also means we have to wait longer to implement new features.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Server Online - Towny Commands Disabled

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 03:54:51 +0000

Ok, here it is, i have been awake for over 2 days now and i have spent all night trying to work out why towny isn't working as it should be and it's come down to the point where i now need some sleep.

What i have done is open the server for the night but i have disabled several towny commands.

Disabled commands are:

/town new
/town claim outpost
/town name name
/plot
/nation new
/nation name name

I have also disabled the ability to purchase bonus blocks. Please also note that taxes can't be collected as town banks are disabled.

The reason i have had to take this action is to prevent abuse. There is a part of towny called Register which needs to be updated by a developer and until that is updated its not looking like towny will be stable. Register handles all the interactions of currency in and around towny so you will not be able to access your town banks at the moment. I have spent all night trying to find a fix but its just not available yet. I have also tried several work arounds and made no progress without breaking several other plugins.

These sort of problems were to be expected due to us being on 1.2 using a beta version of bukkit without a dedicated team of developers.

Anyway, i will get back on it tomorrow and see if i can make any progress i hope to have this problem fixed ASAP.

Thank you for your patience.

WebAuction and Other News.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:46:57 +0000

It's time KoolSource added another amazing feature so today we bring you WebAuction.

What is WebAuction?

We have set up 3 auction terminals inside the Zagora Market. Players can then go there and deposit items, when they do this the items disappear from the world and gets logged into the players online account. Once this is done and they have set a password, they can log into the website and see all the auctions that are going on.

Using in-game kredits they can buy items, and they will be sent to the mailbox in game (a sign). They can also set up their own auctions for the items they have stored online.

One of the main features is that the WebAuction looks at all the sales and calculates a moving average for the market price of that item. Which should help players when setting a price, or buyers to see if they are getting a good deal.

How do i use WebAuction?

For detailed instructions on how to use WebAuction then please visit the wiki page that i have set up here.

I have also added a link to the WebAuction under the mincraft drop down navigation at the top for convenience but make sure you read the wiki first or you will not know how to log in.

We may give the WebAuction page a face list in the near future and maybe make it look like the rest of the website.

What else is new?

Town mayors can now rename their town by using /town set name.
Added Town/Nation forum request forum to the member service center. Use this to request a town/nation forum or a town forum move/rename.
Added 3 other forums to the member service center for better organisation.
Congratulations to TheBadAssWoopa who has been promoted to a GM.
Congratulations to Apollo661 who has been promoted to GM+.
1000 Kredits will be added to the lottery prize on the first friday of every month.
The ban list on the website is now working again although the dates are wrong. These will be fixed soon.

Coming Soon:

Prized competitions and tournaments.
Paid mob arenas with different levels of difficulty giving XP rewards.
Different types of spleef arenas.
In-Game classes to allow different game paths.
Updated stats page with top 10 lists.
Organised drop parties and other events.

We have updated to 1.2 | What you need to know...

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:34:53 +0000

Minecraft 1.2

The conversion took a lot longer than anticipated but KoolSource has finally upgraded to 1.2, if you haven't updated your clients please do so before joining the server. Report any bugs here: http://koolsource.co...necraft-server/

Whats New?

The chat system has changed slightly. You may or may not notice.
Automatically hidden on Dynamic Map - use "/dynmap show" ( /ds ) and "/dynmap hide" ( /ds ).
Map has been expanded from a 5000 block radius to a 6000 block radius to accomodate the new jungle biomes.
Cleaned up the MOTD upon login.
Global announcements when people vote. This reminds others to vote and informs new people that they can get kredits for voting.

Whats Broken?

/tc and /nc - Towny chat is currently broken.
/stats and /played - Stats are still being tracked, they are just not currently viewable in-game.
Ban-List on the website.
Colored signs no longer work, any signs that are already colored will stay unless you break them.
DOORS - most double doors and many single doors are out of place - this is a minecraft/bukkit problem most other servers out there are having the same problem, you will have to replace your own doors.
/bounty - HeroBounty is currently broken

We expect to fix any broken plugins / features plugins within short amount of time, hopefully within the week. This update caused many changes to the way Minecraft deals with the world and we are still awaiting some updates.

Over the next week not only will we be fixing the features that are broken but we plan to introduce some more. We will announce these as and when they come along. Due to the amount of bugs that need fixing and incoming new features there will be some unscheduled downtime but we will try and keep this to a minimum and away from peak times of the day.

Please have fun and enjoy the new 1.2 features.

Holes in the map!?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:16:42 +0000

Since the latest update some holes have appeared in certain places. These are not full holes, only the smooth stone is missing but they do go all the way down to bedrock.

We do not yet know what has caused this or how to fix it. We need to know a few things first.

If you find or know where one of these holes are then could you please reply to this topic with this information.

World:
Location (x,y,z): Press F3 in-game to see this.
When you found it:
How long has it been there:

What we are trying to determine is if new holes are appearing or if the ones that are already there are they only ones.

This information may also help us in finding out what caused these holes.

If there are no new holes appearing then we will manually fill the current ones in as and when they are found.

Thank You.

Minecraft 1.1 is out!

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:52:12 +0000

Along with several bug fixes, this update provides the following:

Reduced brewing time to 20 seconds
Added spawn eggs to creative (the colors of the eggs even look like the mobs)

Sheep eat grass and regain their wool

As usual DO NOT update your client until you know that we have updated our server or else you will not be able to play. As soon as bukkit release a recommended build we will update. Hopefully it shouldn't take anymore than a week as they are already working on it.

While you wait for us to update the server, check out this video for a sneak peek on what Minecraft 1.1 has to offer:

News, updates and changes!

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:34:37 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers,

I am writing this post to keep you updated with some of our recent changes and updates.

Rank Changes / Additions

VIP is now Dark Green and VeteranVIP is now Light Green.

We have added a new rank to the store named Supporter. This rank has the same as VIP, plus:

Jump To - Allows to teleport to the block your looking at with left click of a compass.
Magic Carpet - Allows the user to fly away on a carpet made of glass by using the command "/mc".
Virtual Chest - A chest you can access whenever you want just by tying "/chest".

This new rank costs $25. However if you have already purchased VIP you can upgrade to Supporter for just $20 by clicking here then click the VIP package you already purchased, then click the change package button on the right. The rest is self explanatory. This discounted upgrade is only available for a limited time after which you will only be able to upgrade at full price.

Will be adding Super Supporter tomorrow for the extra homes.

Hardware Upgrades

We have upgraded the Minecraft server with a Solid State Drive (SSD) and more RAM.

New server specs:

Intel® Core™ i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 cores
12GB DDR3 RAM
128GB SSD
500GB SATA
10TB on 100Mbit Port

As the server specs have increased so has the monthly cost. We have adjusted the donation bar to reflect this. The donation bar is reset on the 21st of each month as this is when our biggest bill goes out.

Voting

We have added 2 new pages where you can vote for koolsource. You can vote on each website every 24 hours and you will receive 50 Kredits per vote. Thats a total of 150 Kredits for free every 24 hours. Each website has a big green button on the right side of the KoolSource homepage.

Bounty Plugin

I have installed a plugin on the server which adds a public hit list to the server, allowing players to anonymously post hits against their enemies for a reward paid out of their pocket. Other players can take on the role of bounty hunter, competing to fulfill bounties and earn the reward.

Current bounty settings:

bounty-min: 20 - Minimum amount users must pay to post a bounty (includes reward + fee).
bounty-fee-percent: 10 - Percent of the amount paid that is taken as a fee for posting a bounty. The remaining portion makes up the reward for the bounty.
contract-fee-percent: 5 - Percent of the award value hunters must pay to accept a contract.
death-penalty-percent: 0 - Percent of the award value that the killed target loses.
bounty-duration: 24 Hours - The amount of time bounty hunters have to complete a bounty.

Here is a list of the available commands:

/bounty - Shows help information
/bounty new - Create new bounty.
/bounty list - List bounties available.
/bounty accept - Accept bounty.
/bounty abandon - Abandon bounty.
/bounty cancel - Cancel bounty.
/bounty view - View your accepted bounties.
/bounty locate - Show last known taget locations.

Mob Arena

If you enjoy fighting monsters for glorious prizes or just for the sheer thrill of battle, you and your friends can now join forces against hordes of Minecraft evils in the exciting gladiator style survival mini-game which is MobArena.

MobArena is a PvE take on arena gameplay, with a similar class based system. Instead of fighting other players, you team up with them to beat oncoming waves of monsters, earning lots of rewards in the process. MobArena can be played alone, or with as many friends as you like!

MobArena Commands:

/ma join or /ma j - Join the arena if only one exists. Otherwise, join the Master Lobby (will be featured later).
/ma join or /ma j - Join the arena with the specified name.
/ma leave or /ma l - Leave the current arena, or the spectator area.
/ma notready - Get a list of all players who aren't ready.
/ma spectate or /ma spec - Spectate the arena if only one exists.
/ma spectate or /ma spec - Spectate the arena with the specified name.
/ma arenas - Get a list of all arenas. Green names are enabled, gray names are disabled.
/ma players - Get a list of all arena players.
/ma players - Get a list of arena players in the specified arena.

iStore Additions

We have recently added several items to the iStore.

Music discs.

Forum Changes / Additions

We have added some new forums for towns and nations. If a forum has not been added for you town then please request it in the support section.

Wiki Additions and Updates

We have recently updated and added to the wiki.

Thats it for today. Let me know if you have any problems / need anymore info.

KoolSource, You and 1.0.

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:16:18 +0000

There will be a maintenance at some point this afternoon/evening to try and push 1.0 live, when it does, make sure you have a backup, in case we have to back out. If you don't, or don't know how, wait on IRC to make sure all is ok. Also, if you do update and jump into the server once its up, no large builds, we'll be in test mode for a bit, so if we have to restore from a backup, you won't lose anything important.

Thanks .

Adventure World Updates and Information

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:32:09 +0000

We have just taken the last steps in activating all of our new features. Not only has the spawn been changed but when you first log in you will be taken to the tutorial island as if you are a new player. This has been done so you have a better understanding of how the game has changed.

The old world has now been locked to Veterans and above. What this means is that anyone under vet can still go to the world, they just can't place or destroy any blocks.

If you have already started building on the old world and are not yet Veteran we are giving you the opportunity to apply for early veterancy in the suport forums. Upon making your post please state that your applying for early veterancy and also state your current played time which you can find by going in game and typing /played.

The new world is currently limited to a radius of 1500 blocks however this will be raised to at least 6000 when the 1.0 patch is applied to the server. The terrain on the new world is very rich in resources and there are plenty of abandoned mine shafts and crevices to explore.

KoolSource now has 2 main zone types. Wilderness and towns. Wilderness can be very dangerous as PVP is on. Players can build, destroy and explore any of the wild. However this also means players can legally grief and steal from the wild! As such it's probably in your best interest to interact with the other players to find a place you can live and grow on the new world. We suggest pooling your Kredits together to start a town. We have added a new /recruit channel which you can use to find people to join your town or find a town that is right for you.

With the new world and all the new features we have implemented also come a new set of rules which can be view HERE.

We will be updating this post and the Wiki throughout the week. Also we are keeping a very close eye on the development of bukkit so that we can get 1.0 on the server ASAP.

New Server Features:

iConomy - This allows us to have an in-game currency that can be used for many things such as trading. There are several ways to gain Kredits.
- Selling gold to the server.
- Trading with other members.
- Winning the lottery.
- Voting for KoolSource.
- Purchasing them from the Store.
Lottery - Purchase a ticket in-game for 25 Kredits. The prize depends on the amount of tickets sold and is drawn every 24 hours.
Chest Shops - Allows you to make shops to buy and sell items even whilst you are offline.
Towns & Nations - The ability to purchase towns and have residents help you build.
- Nation Price- 8000 Kredits
- Town Price - 3000 Kredits
- Outpost Price - 1000 Kredits
- 16 Bonus Claims - 500 Kredits
HD Dynmap Map - We have brought back the HD surface view on the dynamic map and upgraded the textures on the flat map.

Chat Changes:

From now on only VIP's can use global chat. - This is to reduce the spam of global chat, we don't need people discussing their dinner here.
Added local chat /l with a radius of 150.
Added help chat /h - Ask your questions here.
Added recruit chat /recruit - Look for towns and members here.
Added trade chat /tr - All trade topics posted here.
There are also 2 chat channels related to Towny.
- Nation chat - /nc
- Town chat - /tc

Please let us know if you have any problems with anything.

Minecraft – Pocket Edition (iOS)

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:55:40 +0000

So apparently today Mojang has released the pocket edition of Minecraft for iPhone and iPad.

From what i can tell it is far from the full version of the game as it only has 36 block types, no weather, no day/night and no monsters.

iTunes Description:

Imagine it, build it. Create worlds on the go with Minecraft - Pocket Edition

Minecraft - Pocket Edition allows you to build on the go. Use blocks to create masterpieces as you travel, hangout with friends, sit at the park, the possibilities are endless. Move beyond the limits of your computer and play Minecraft everywhere you go.

* Randomized worlds
* Build anything you can imagine
* Build with 36 different kinds of blocks
* Invite and play with friends to your world (local wireless network)
* Save multi-player worlds on your own phone

iTunes Link : http://itunes.apple....d479516143?mt=8

If any of you guys have this on either Android or iPhone please let me know what you think and if there are any difference between the two platforms.

Dynamic Map Render

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:22:47 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers:

The dynamic map is currently running a full render of all of our maps.
There was a new version released today and we decided to change some settings around to make the map more pleasant to look at. The flat map is now HD meaning that instead of just coloured blocks, it now has the actual texture from the block you are looking at. We have also removed the Non-HD "Surface" map and replaced it with an HD version. In this update we've added the ability to view cuboid areas, towns, and player's last seen location if they're offline.

This render process should can take between 24 and 36 hours and may cause slight lag on the server for the duration of the render. We have tried to optimize it as much as possible in an effort to make the impact on server performance as small as possible.

You may still view the dynamic map during this process but please keep in mind that some zoom levels and regions of the map may not be rendered and therefore not show up.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to post them here.

-John

MineCon Live Streaming!

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:59:03 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers,

With the release of Mincraft 1.0 at Minecon coming up very soon i caught myself thinking "I wish i was going to minecon", which quickly brought me to my next thought "I wonder if there will be a live stream". So with a quick search of my usual sources it turns out that there will in fact be a live stream of Minecon.

During the live stream you will be able to catch the Minecraft creator Notch's keynote, community events, as well as footage from various panels and some great contests all brought to you live by IGN.

So on the 18-19th of November i will try my hardest to get the live stream on the front page of KoolSource. If this is not possible make sure you are following us on twitter @KoolSource as there will definitely be a link posted on there.

Just out of curiosity is there any KoolSource members attending Minecon this year?

Builders Wanted

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:54:41 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers,

We are looking for people to start building towns on a new world. This new world will be the new start world.

This new world will have stargates, designated towns, wilderness (pvp), currency, shops and much more.

If you are interested in starting a town or helping with some building projects let me know below.

Thanks.

Dynamic Map -- Moved

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:41:08 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers:

The dynamic map has been moved from its original location ( http://koolsource.com:8123 ) to a new cozy home at http://map.koolsource.com. This will hopefully make the URL easier to remember and more conventional looking to any new comers.

This move also removes some load from the Minecraft server and puts it on the webserver (which is where it should be)

Thanks,
John

Pre releases and Adventure Updates

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 06:52:43 +0000

The adventure update is going great! We’re adding features and cramming in content, and then started feature creeping and content creeping. What we’ve got on our hands now is somewhere in between a finished Adventure Mode update and a version of the game we’d be proud to call just “Minecraft”. Not “Minecraft Beta” or “Minecraft Alpha”, but just plain and simple “Minecraft”. And we’re going to release that version of the game live on stage in Vegas at MineCon! Woooo! Up until then, instead of trying to squeeze in another real release, we’re going to do weekly (or so) pre releases, aimed at advanced players. We release these via twitter, so make sure to follow me (@notch) and Jens (@jeb_) if you’re interested in those. Also, we’re finally adding a dragon. [Source] Click here to view the article

Bug Tracker

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:39:49 +0000

Hello KoolSourcers,

Due to the ever ongoing development of KoolSource and it's numerous projects we have decided to re-add the bug tracker to the website.

We have done this so it is easier for not only us to keep track and prioritise our work load but it also keeps you, the community informed of known bugs/issues. This new system will allow us to work closely with you to create a smoother running community/server but prevent us from getting overwhelmed by randomly placed posts/topics and IRC spam.

Please feel free use the new tracker to post bugs/issue/glitches that you find, however try not to post Minecraft or Bukkit known bugs as there is nothing we can do about these. It is upon the respective developers to fix these issues.

We hope you make good use of this new feature and that it will help benefit the community.

Thanks.

Server Now Online 1.8

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 00:28:29 +0000

We are happy to announce that we finally ironed out all the errors and our Minecraft server is now online and running 1.8.

If anyone has any problems then please leave a comment and let us know.

PS. It is looking like we are going to wait until Minecraft 1.9 to release the adventure world as there are going to be even more awesome features, and they are worth waiting for.

In the meantime we are going to try and add some of the new items to the iStore, however we cannot guarantee this as we are having some other unrelated problems at this time.

If we make any more updates we shall let you know ASAP.

Enjoy.
