Minetime

The entire network sans the website will be down for maintenance in a few minutes. This is scheduled, planned, and sorta well thought out. I am doing some network stuff with the thingy majig so don't worry, you're in good hands!

I'm hoping that I'll be in bed sleeping in about an hour (starting maintenance at midnight for me) so I don't want to keep you guys off the server for too long

Follow me on Twitter to keep updated on what's going on. I'll be tweeting updates when each individual server comes up or if I run into any issues because Murphy's law isn't a thing ;D

Hello from PAXEast!

@CollinPotato and I are in the hotel lobby working on updating all servers to full 1.7.8. Doing so requires migrating all player files to the new UUID system which can take quite some time and only happens the *first* time a server starts up on 1.7.8. Please be patient with us as we migrate one server at a time. If a server is down, it's probably being migrated.

If a server is up then it either is on a protocol hack to allow 1.7.8 players to connect or it is actually updated.

If you are getting a message like "Server sent invalid data" and getting disconnected, that is a known bug https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-52817

Lobby2 was the first server updated so if you are directed there, don't worry, that's normal!

Once again, please be patient as we work to update everything, it's not as easy and fun as it sounds. Thanks for playing Minetime ;D

I've been working on a project with a friend called Minecast (www.minecast.io) that allows you to tweet in game on servers that you trust.

How it works
You sign up on www.minecast.io. It'll ask you for permission for our app to access your twitter account to post tweets. Don't worry, this is safe an we have abuse systems set up. Once you do that, you'll be asked to verify Minetime as a trusted server when you join the lobby. It'll give you a link to go to where it asks for confirmation one more time. Once you do that, you can tweet in game from the lobby!

Tweeting
You can tweet with /tweet <tweet goes here> - on the lobby. It'll then ask you to confirm by typing /yes.

When you join the server, it'll show you something like this

Type /yes to confirm and and you'll tweet! I did it here https://twitter.com/drtshock/status/451210712853909504

It would be awesome to get...

I am happy to finally announce the release of our new Survival Games written by yours truly <3

We've been working on this game on and off for awhile and we're finally ready to release it. We're still considering this a public beta as there are probably still some bugs and spectate has yet to be implemented.

Features
There are some awesome features that I added including:

• Live podium of the top 3 players as seen here.
• /sg cook command to cook all items in your inventories.
• Wool death effects.
• Cannon sound on death.
• 7 custom maps plus a lobby made exclusively for Minetime.
• Damage indicators (video below).
• Flying is enabled in the lobby.

Go Play
Go play the server and let us know what you think! Make sure to report any bugs to trent@minetime.com so I can get right on fixing those

It's been a few days since I made that post asking for feedback and I'm here to tell you that we've been hard at work making things happen. We've redone the factions server, fixed some crucial deadlife bugs, and gotten a youtuber!

GhostGaming
@ghostgamingyt will be streaming and recording on Minetime a lot now including a stream of the Factions reset! He's a super chill guy and a good friend of mine. You should definitely subscribe to him on youtube and twitch, and follow him on twitter.

Deadlife
Like I said in my change log post, voting rewards and level saving are both fixed. You'll be happy to see that you have your level from around a month ago. There won't be any issues with level saving in the future now.

Punisher
Factions is the first server to have our new Punisher...
