Current Minecraft Map (West view)

I run my minecraft server from here at home. As soon as I upgrade the specs I plan on running a parellel world for the kids. For now, only my immediate friends have access to it. My server does have a couple rules:

  1. Every night at 11 the server does a daily backup. This may lag the Minecraft server. I have it set to quickly copy the world and then work with the copy so data will not be lost. That way people can still safely play during this time.
  2. I can't seem to do automatic restarts anymore. This is a combination of not being able to set a time to safely stop the minecraft server combined with Windows XP not wanting to shutdown properly with the built-in scheduling software. At times I will manually restart the server but I'll always check to see if anyone is online and warn them.
  3. NO GRIEFING! This is a given. Currently PVP is turned off on request but boundaries still need to be respected, If it's not on your claimed land then don't mess with it.
  4. The server map updates on this site every night at 11pm. The server may slow down or lag around this time so be warned. I chose this time to work around the defragging, rebooting, and updating throughout the week while trying to pick a time I believe no one else will be on.
Current Mods:

As of March 14 I've reloaded Bukkit and some of my older mods. I'm trying to stick closer to vanilla so I'll only load mods that I believe "fixes" things that are broken or currently don't work like I believe they should.

Ptweaks - This is a server-side plugin that helps it run faster on my end and prevent lag for the clients. Since I have a single-core server with only 2Gig's of RAM this mod was a given.

Distant Farm - This plugin records the time that you plant something (farmland and tree related) and grows it by the appropiate amount once you return. Normally Minecraft ignores plants in unloaded chunks so you have to remain nearby for your crops to grow. This mod makes running a farm more realistic. Currently the following are not included but are being added:

Mushroom (brown/red)
Sugar Cane
Cactus
Pumpkin
Vines
