ENJOY!

Server is up and running vanilla style. Enjoy!

Make sure you check the IP on the top of this group page. It may have changed.

Notch confirmed on 9/21/11 that he will be adding a new mob to the update, Snow Golem. This mob will be friendly, and only available by crafting it. It will attack other mobs with snowballs (zero damage) as a "suicide". Of course also confirmed are the additions of new biomes and the NPCs to the villages.

The server has been updated. However, they are reporting a lot of bugs still. So, I will be checking for the latest builds through out the day. If there is an update on the build, I will load it and restart the server. That normally only takes less than 15 seconds. :)

LOVE the new UI. Add my server to your list: 72.193.125.105

Please let me know of any bugs that you may find.

Go get it!

I will update the server once I get home from work tonight.
