Minecraft Map Regenerated
The Minecraft map has been regenerated with Minecraft Overviewer. I experimented with another project, but the project isn’t very well maintained, nor has it been forked just yet. Unfortunately, a few chunks of map aren’t rendering at all (even though the map data is there). Forcing a re-render isn’t working, from scratch or after the …
Server Hardware Upgraded
We have undergone a drastic upgrade, from $300 worth of components in 2012 to a very awesome system that gives us a lot of room to grow. This will include more frequent rendering of Minecraft services, such as the map and the stats, along with hosting additional game services (like I was briefly doing before). …
Updated Minecraft 1.14
Minecraft has been updated to v1.14. You’ll have to go out to new terrain to see all of the newest content. I’m not sure if this update works with the map rendering software. From reading the Github project for Mapcrafter, I’m suspecting that it’s not 100% compatible. We’ll have to find out over the next …

No problems were encountered during the server move. In the weird event that you are unable to connect to the Minecraft server, but this …
Overviewer Map Broken
It appears that the Minecraft Overviewer that we are using is not updating correctly since we updated to 1.13. According to this GitHub issue, they are having some troubles trying to support it. I may look into another solution when I have some more free time, depending on if/when they get the new update to …
Updated Minecraft to 1.13
The Aquatic update is finally out, and we’ve updated our server to the latest version! We have a backup just in case, so feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any problems. It appears that we can update the world configuration and run an “optimized” version. I’ll have to look into this …
Website is Back Online!
Hello again! We’re now back online with different hosting. Our previous server has been rebuilt a lot of stuff has been optimized. One major improvement is that our network connection has been upgraded. So far, we just have our original Minecraft server online. There was service interruption at various points in the last year (sorry …
