Village & Pillage out today on Java

Download Minecraft Java Edition 1.14 today!

Apparently, it takes a village to raise a child. Frankly, if we'd known how much work putting together the biggest Minecraft update yet was going to be, we'd have probably taken the easy option and tried to raise that child instead.

But it was all worth it for this, Village & Pillage Update release day! I can almost hear the Pillagers firing their crossbows into the air in celebration! Or are they firing them towards me...

Enjoy the update!

Tools we are hoping to see converted to 1.13:

MCEdit (github) Podshot

Minecraft 1.13 is out, and it has a new chunk format. Two new uNmINeD releases are coming with 1.13 support

I was trying to figure out the age of the Minecraft server. Parts of the server were merged in from even older maps, making the answer difficult, but here is the first server log entry I could find:

"2011-02-27 15:39:43 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.3"

This screen shot is from a few months later, 4-28-2011

A Minecraft server is more than just software, it is people. Many thanks to our builders and visitors over the years!! (list as of 10/5/2018, let me know if I missed your name)

Worlds on the server

At the time of this writing, there are 25 worlds on the server, only 10 of which are online. This is subject to change.

~~Dynmap can show you at least some part of these worlds.~~ is currently in testing.

~~I put portals up to most of the worlds in the nexus (and corresponding portals back, so you don't get stuck)~~.

Nether portal teleportation is currently offline.

Agathion	41.6 mb	This was the first of three experimental worlds based on the idea of Agathion, from the Dungeons and Dragons Planescape expansion (Wikipedia ): Agathion is the deepest area of Pandemonium and is generally sealed off from the rest of the plane. Where Pandesmos has wide-open caverns, Agathion has narrow caves that eventually dwindle to pocket spaces within the infinite rock. It is said that deities use these sealed off areas, which are nearly impossible to get to, to store indestructible artifacts or deity-level monsters that could not be killed. Entry to these pocket areas is notoriously hard; each space only has one portal in and out, while some areas are so ancient that their portal could have been destroyed eons past. This was the least interesting of three attempts.
Caveworld	47.1 mb	This was created with TerrainControl, using an extreme caves setting. It is an interesting world with lots of vast caves, and tons of vertical spaces. Unfortunately the generator no longer works, so this world is not a living space.
City	83.0 mb	One of two worlds created with the CityWorld generator. CityWorld turns Minecraft into a vast city. CityWorld does not currently work with 1.13.1, but DaddyChurchhill seems to be working on it.
CityWorld	93.7 mb	The other CityWorld world.
CraftonHills	69.1 mb	This and Crafteros were described as "normal, hard".
DungeonMaze	90.3 mb	This world was originally generated with the dungeonmaze mod. This mod has been updated as recently as July 2018, so it is reasonable to exepect it to be updated at some point.
Mist	393 mb	The original template is a buffet world of deep warm ocean, with quite a few older worlds pasted into it. This was how we were originally getting pre 1.13 content into the 1.13 server (and if you look at the map, you can see the patchwork nature of the result). Several of the combinations work rather well, I like how the nether and the deep oceans interact in particular.
Nexus	770 mb	This was our first gateway world, originally an endless lava zone, and several different generated worlds with lava oceans were pasted into it. You can get here with the /nexus command, but the nether world portals are all dead (and a bit dangerous).
Northlands	116 mb	This was created with the Nordic mod. I have already pasted this into Mist, but I am not 100% satisfied with the result, and this will remain until I can see about doing a better job.
Skylands	72.2 mb	This went through a series of generators, and has ended up with some non skyland terrain, and some other odd elements. It looks like 1.13.1 supports a sky island variation, so I will proably try to hook this up with a relevant generator.
Test03	144 mb	Generated with an older generator on an extreme amplitude setting. Fun (but that generation method is no longer supported).
World	616 mb	The current main world, generated with 1.14
World_Nether	616 mb	The current Nether, generated with 1.14.
World_The_End	616 mb	The current End, generated with 1.14. The dragon is still active, so watch out for that.
World00	417 mb	An older generated world, offline
World02	616 mb	The previous main world, generated at first with 1.13, and now running 1.14. There were some problems running Dynmap on this world, but I reoptimized world02, and shut off the Dynmap forcerender. Even after that, this world seems to be responsible for generating lag. I will leave it running for now, and see how it goes. I also hope that the 1.14.1 update will resolve the lag.
World02_nether	58 mb	The current nether, generated at first with 1.13, and now running 1.14
World02_the_end	90.9 mb	The current end, the dragon has been slain. This was generated at first with 1.13, and now running 1.14. Someone started a path to get to the enderman islands, but I think they ran out of stone.
World03	7.93 gb	A vast patchwork of hundreds of worlds, and a massive cluster of pyramids.
World03_nether	482 mb	A large and heavily tunneled nether world

Server software

Paperclip

PaperMC. "Paper is the next generation of Minecraft server, compatible with Spigot plugins and offering uncompromising performance."

Paper works great, they tend to run a bit behind as far as version updates, the server runs quickly, but maybe a bit less stable. At the moment of writing, neither server is stable when the server is under load, so maybe that does not matter for your server.

PAPER 1.13.2

Spigot

I am deeply impressed with Spigot. Their timely releases have helped to keep our game server current. Seriously, these guys are heroes.

Spigot 1.14.1

Mods

BKCommonLib This utility library shares all the common code needs for various plugins, and having them in one library heavily reduces the amount of duplicated code. The featured utilities are varied, and whenever something is missing in Spigot, it is added in BKCommonLib. This is one of the reasons why it has become this large: there are simply a lot of things Spigot doesn't (want to) offer.	BKCommonLib (1.13.1-v4) Required for Light Cleaner
CityWorld (v4.05) (source) You can go check it out, head to the nexus and take the [mv]city portal to get to City, or use the /cityworld command to get to CityWorld. This mod changes minecraft into a massive city. It's pretty cool. You can find the current version of CityWorld running in World01 (no portals set up, but if you are interested, let me know and I can set one up for you)	Update from DaddyChurchhill here GREAT NEWS FOLKS... With help from https://www.spigotmc.org/members/jyhsu.39963/, CityWorld has been updated to support 1.13.2. Lots of things have changed so consider this a beta for now. Developer: DaddyChurchill aka echurchill
DungeonMaze (v0.2.5 Beta): Another world generator, this one creates infinite mazes of monster filled dungeons. We have one example set up, DungeonWorld. You can find the portal to DungeonWorld in the Nexus. Owner: timvisee Maintainer: Xephi59
Dynmap is a Google Maps-like map for your Minecraft server that can be viewed in a browser. Easy to set up when making use of Dynmap's integrated webserver which works out-of-the-box, while also available to be integrated into existing websites running on Apache and the like. Dynmap can render your worlds using different renderers, some suitable for performance, some for high detail.	Dynmap (v3.0-beta-5) Status: Working (yay)!
Fawe (3.5.0-dev) (instructions) (jenkins) FAWE Blazingly fast world manipulation for builders, large networks and developers.	FAWE 1.13 (#136) Developer: Empire92, Jesse Boyd, boy0001, mnmiller1 I currently have WorldEdit enabled. FAWE handles supermassive block transfers better than WorldEdit did last I checked, but was not working well the last I checked in. WorldEdit in my experience is updated much more quickly. Both projects are awesome, and allow rapid editing of the landscape, which is all any creator could ask. I know it is unlikely, but it would be more convenient for me as an administrator if they would merge their code into a single project, so I can have the best of both. Fawe has a 147 release, but it seems buggy. I will wait for a stable release before updating.
Fly This command allows you to fly in survival mode.	Fly (v1.1) Developer: BlackGunner
GriefPrevention will solve your grief problems without a roster of trained administrators, without 10 different anti-grief plugins, and without disabling any standard game features. Because Grief Prevention teaches players for you, you won't have to publish a training manual or tutorial for players, or add explanatory signs to your world.	GriefPrevention (16.11.6) Developer: Big_Scary
Hellobukkit We stand on the shoulders of giants. Thank you to all the coders who put useful code examples on the web. Added commands: hello, mmback, mmbed.	Hellobukkit (v0.1)
Light Cleaner Light cleaner is a simple plugin fulfilling a very powerful task: regenerating lighting. It does so running on a dedicated thread, using it's own optimized methods to minimize performance loss for the server. By operating on raw data it is easily capable of chomping through 200 chunks a second!	Light Cleaner (1.13.1-v1)
LuckPerms is an advanced permissions implementation aiming to be a fast, reliable and flexible alternative to existing permission plugins. The project's main goals are centered around high performance and a wide feature set, filling the gaps of functionality and building upon existing features found in other plugins. LuckPerms also includes an extensive API for developers, and support for a variety of Minecraft server software & data storage options.	LuckPerms (v4.4.27 #916)
Minecart Speedplus Have you ever felt your mine carts are too slow? This mod helps. Most rail lines have been set up with [msp] signs for faster travel. The straightaways are typically set to 50, but corners need to be taken slower, typically around 1. Create a sign next to mine cart track with following lines: 1st : [msp] 2nd : multiplier [0.1 to 50]. Note, this does not actually change the speed of your cart, just the top speed it can achieve. You still have to use other means to increase your velocity.	Minecart_speedplus (v1.6.3) This mod was last updated May 26, 2013. Esavar, your plugin still works! Many thanks to you, and the hard working programmers at Spigot and Minecraft! Developer: esavar
Multiverse Core A world management solution that allows us to work with multiple worlds using different generators, and set up nifty portals to connect them.	Multiverse-Core (v2.5-b766) (direct) Owner: MultiverseTeam Maintainer: dumptruckman Author: fernferret, Rigby90 Contributors: lithium3141, main_ Status: Working
Multiverse NetherPortals Allow a nether for each world.	Multiverse-NetherPortals (v2.5-b757) (direct) Status: Unknown
Multiverse Portals More complex but powerful portal options. Make your portal out of anything, in any shape, and set it to take you to any destination. Status: Offline	Multiverse-Portals (v2.5-b799) (direct)
Multiverse SignPortals Allow nether portals go to specific places with signs. This is the main way we tie our worlds together.	Multiverse-SignPortals (v2.5-b743) (direct) Status: Offline
Nordic (v0.3.0) is world generator with a Nordic feel. If you want to check it out, head to the nexus and take the [mv]Northlands portal. Developer: s1pl3x No sign of update activity, s1mpl3x Last active Fri, Aug, 26 2016
PlugMan is a simple, easy to use plugin that lets server admins manage plugins from either in-game or console without the need to restart the server.	PlugMan (v2.1.6) Developer: rylinaux
Provides a command (/randomteleport) to randomly teleport a player to a safe location in a give radius around a given point!	RandomTeleport (v1.7.4) Developer: Phoenix616 This mod works, but the random teleport booths do not (due to the command blocks being broken). Status: Offline
SkylandsPlus (v0.16-SNAPSHOT build #41) (EcoCityCraft build #4) : This plugin provides the skylands world generator, a dangerous world filled with floating islands and fatal falls. The remains of our skylands can be found by taking the [mv]Skylands portal from the Nexus Not working, apparently no current versions exist. The OpenTerrainGenerator mentioned below has a Skylands option, if you are looking for this mod. Developer: wide_load	The 1.13.1 Minecraft has world generation options for sky islands, so this should be doable. At some point I will create one and test it, and post the results here.
TerrainControl: The terrain control mod allows you to create custom terrains of all types. You can create a new type of terrain, or tweak existing generation rules as you like. We one terrain control world available at the moment, [mv]CaveWorld Latest version 182 available here. The terrain control mod seems like a brilliant idea, and I could see one day collecting a lot of different terrains, and combining them together. If terrain control is not resolving at the sites above, try starting at https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/terraincontrol.2214/ Not working. I have not looked into it, but the Open Terrain Generator looks like it might be the working version: https://www.openterraingenerator.com/ Team OTG: PG85, MC_Pitman, LordSmellyPants Developer: TerrainControl
UberForest (v2.2.1): A forest plug-in, forests spread naturally at a configurable rate based on sapling growth. Spruce and Birch saplings can also grow very large variants similar to oak and jungle trees (and they look good too). Developer: Tobyz28
VoidGenerator Create custom void worlds with a powerful and lightweight generator system that allows you to add countless empty worlds.	VoidGenerator (1.4.2) developer: Hx64
VoidTeleport Teleport a player to certain coords when he falls into the void	VoidTeleport (2.2.0) developer: EndlessTeamwork
WorldEdit is an in-game world editor for Minecraft. This tool is only available for admins, mods, and operators, sorry. worldedit/last-successful	WorldEdit Build #4548 Me4502 and friends are obviously brilliant. Kudos! Developer: Me4502 matthew miller (and others)
