the command /ws help is now called /shophelp. While /ws help will continue to work, there is now no need ato use /ws <whatever> anymore anywhere. All commands now have their own text.

I made a new command: /website <username> . It will send the following message to the user (actually a /msg from you):

Dear <username>, you have just asked a question that is answered on the website. Instead of bothering everyone in game, please go there and look for the answer yourself: http://uncovery.me – Thats why we have it;

Hope this will be helpful for the endless questions and “please check the website” answers.

I re-enabled the minecart plugin except for the signs. I am waiting for a reply of the plugin author regarding the bug I filed.

There were some issues with MM, specially with the singcommands that basically crashed the server. When testing to restart the server, some issues of Minecraft connecting to the login server on top of it made it impossible to identify the issue properly.

So I removed MM for now and will test it tomorrow again to see where the issue is.

I have by accident found that someone who picked up the MM development released a new version 2 days ago! So I spent the last 5 hours configuring it – and it works now, after many restarts!

I changed the config a bit, so you might have to rebuild your stuff slightly. Most important change: All control blocks under the minecarts are now wool blocks. Old wool colors are the same all other blocks have been replaced by different color wool blocks. Also, powered rails now stop the cart if they are not powered. If they are powered, they accelerate it.\

See the Minecarts page for details please.

I re-wrote the way enchanted items are won in the lottery. You now have a 8% chance to win 1 item with 1 enchantment of a random level (1-max). So no more multiple enchantments. But you can win ANY enchantable item and ANY single enchantment that is possible for that item.

In the future, I plan to enhance it so that you can get on top of that a chance for multiple enchantments per item. Due to the fact that you can combine only certain enchantments on certain items, this is not so easy to do, so it is postponed for now.

Yes, this disables winning a super-enchanted item, but as a compensation the chance is now 8% instead of 3%, and the variety is much bigger.

It should now also be impossible to win snow golem eggs since they do not work anyhow. If you still get one, please let me know.

Since we have the courier software since some time, I forgot that we actually do not mention that anywhere. So I added now a page for the courier service.

Trying to always improve, we have now a poll to find out what you think about the shop:

Please answer these short questions to help us!

Azkedar ported my web-based XP buying into the game and now you can buy in-game. So the web-interface is removed. Use /ws help buyxp for details.

I have fixed the hunger games, this times hopefully for good. The way the game is run changed in some small details. Please see the hunger games page for reference.

We have portals back again. I have created now portals for every world and kept the city warps working. They will be restricted to the city however. Documentation will be updated.

I have updated the Chat plugins and there are some small changes to it. First of all we have a way cooler IRC chat plugin now that relays colors and all other information just as you would be chatting in-game to the IRC. Also, if people login to IRC and type there, all their status information is displayed in the game just as if they are in the game except a [IRC] tag in the end instead of the world.

Regarding the ingame-chat, there might be some small changes. Please use /ch help for details.

I got a recommendation for a mail plugin from Binkydude. I had a mail plugin before but we disabled it since it allowed only one-liners and I started to get half-written mail from every second user on the server. This one here however allows to write longer emails. And they are even delivered by a Villager!

Check out the plugin page for a manual. I will put up a page later. Please make sure you do not spam people, otherwise I have to block you from sending! So please try it out and tell me if it works!

I have enabled unlimited stocks of End Stone, mycelium, lilly pads and mob eggs (friendly only) for sale in the shop, each for 100 Uncs / pc. To see what is available, use

/ws list uncovery

It is now possible to buy goods in the virtualshop! Please use

/ws

for more info. Virtualshop is enabled in the empire, skylands and kingdom only!
If there are any issues, please let me know. Please make small transactions first to make sure everything works fine. Please report issues immediately.

After many iterations of trying to get it work, I have now removed the gold exchange for good. Thanks to azkedar for your work on this plugin, but the repeated issues finally did not outweigh the benefits. I will think about a new system for the economy so we do not have a runaway deflation on everything to to endless supply of goods.

Voting at minestatus.net should now work again, giving you money and a new reward! Please try. Make sure you check your account balance before and after with /money. Tell me if something is broken.

I finally found the plugin that was disabling mobs from spawning. It should be fixed now!

I had to restore the towny config from 12 hours ago since a new version of the plugin decided to corrupt my files. If you claimed any plots or did other changes with towny commands, I am sorry but you would have to do those again.

I just re-installed the dynmap plugin and upgraded the config. The maps have to be rendered again individually to show the changes since the upgrade. Places that are changed now should be updated on the map instantly as usual. The users are also shown again on the map.
