So far the Donation drive is still on to keep the servers running. As of now they will still be cutting one day of work for 22 weeks starting next month.
Minecraft 1.5 Release
12 years ago
Tomorrow Minecraft 1.5 will be released. Keep in mind that the server will not be updating as usuall untill there is a good build available for Bukkit and the main core plugins that we use.
We will keep a eye on the dev cycle for Bukkit and related plugins and will be testing everything on the Dev server to make sure that everything is stable.
When we upgrade to 1.5 we will be generating a new Nether to make the new resources available. So please move all items you wish to keep that you have in the current Nether.
Patch Notes so far:
- Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
- Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
- Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
- Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
- Added Daylight Sensor
- Added Trapped Chest
- Added Weighed Pressure Plate
- Added Block of Redstone
- Added Nether Brick (item)
- Added Nether Quartz and ore
- Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
- New command: /scoreboard
- New command: /effect
- Containers and mobs can have custom names
- Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
- Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
- Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
- Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
- More detailed death messages
- Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
- Many, many, bug fixes
- Removed Herobrine
Sequestration, Donations, and the Servers
12 years ago
I am sure everyone has heard about the budget issues with the government, and I know allot of people think that this will have no impact on their lives. Well, for everyone who plays on any of the TBU servers that I pay for (this is pretty much all of them but the DayZ server) this could mean the servers may have to go down for a while.
The sequestration will be affecting me, I will be taking a 20% pay cut from April to September. This means I may not be able to afford keeping the servers running. While I enjoy providing the free of charge servers for everyone, bills and such must come first.
So, for the first time, I am asking people to try and donate. If I get enough in donations to keep the servers running, I will do so. If not I may be forced to bring the servers down.
Also, keep in mind, this is all due to the budget issues. Issues that many think will not harm or affect “regular” people. The truth to it all is that the first and main people that government budget issue will affect are regular everyday people, middle class people, people like myself. The unfortunate fact is that the ones that everyone pictures that will be affected, people high up in Washington, will be the last to be affected.
EDIT: Possible “light” at the end of the tunnel. The furlough (one day without pay a week for 22 weeks) may not happen. There is talk of extending the current pay freeze another year. Basically for I think the 3rd year in a row gov employees will not get their 0.5% pay raise.
If this happens I will be able to continue paying fo rthe servers, but will still apreciate any donations if anyone still wishes to help

Site Cleanup

For those who visit the site you will notice some changes.
I have been cleaning up the forumat and some of the content of the site.
I am also adding access for the Lead Admins to the site so they can post content and edit existing pages.
TBU Minecraft Updated and Ready! 1.4.7
12 years ago
The server has now been reset as we mentioned before. All player data and ranks have been reset. Most players should be able to regain their previous rank, just see a admin or PM one of us over steam and we will see.
Admin ranks have also been reset, more info on this on the forums.
The server is now a full Towny server. All player plots will now use towny for protection, so please dont ask a admin for a WorldGuard plot. WorldGuard will nt be used for player Protection, so we will not be creating them for players. For more info on how to setup a Towny Plot, see the Commands & Info page.
The Economy system has been greatly Tweaked as well. There is now a exchange rate for Iron, Gold, and Diamonds. See the forums for more info. The Exchange rate is also listed on the Commands and Info page.
As always, more info on the Forums. Have Fun!
