We've built a new spawn, so now it's time for a new website design. Although the new design is not too different from the old one, we have changed the color scheme and various visual features to reflect MeepCraft's character. You will notice that the forums are also a bit easier to read now.

If you aren't too excited about the new theme, don't worry. You can switch back to the old one by selecting a theme at the bottom of the page.

Check out these scenes that were created for the new website.

What do you think of the new design? What can be improved? Let us know in the comments.

MeepCraft's Holiday Sale starts 11/23/2014 ending 12/31/2014!

With holiday shopping heating up, more and more retailers are coming up with hot deals, smashing discount offers, and exciting sales. These days you can easily see huge savings on almost everything. It’s time to warm up credit card and dive deep into the sea of discount ranks as MineCraft is once again spreading its magic. To make your holiday shopping fit your budget, MeepCraft is running its Ultimate Holiday Sale.

P.S. be sure to share the news with your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and add a MeepCraft rank donation to your wish lists.

10% off all rank donations!

Donators can now claim more than one plot in Creative!

VIP - 2 plots
Premium - 2 plots
Exclusive - 3 plots
Elite - 3 plots
Supreme - 4 plots
Ultimate - 5 plots

Use /plotme auto to claim a random new plot, or /plotme claim to claim an unowned plot that you are standing on.

Once you have claimed more than one plot, use /plotme home:# (ex. /plotme home:2, /plotme home:3) in order to navigate between your plots.

One of MeepCraft’s most unique and popular features is its Towny system, which lets players live, build, and work together in player-run communities. We believe that a big part of what makes this server great is our community, and many of our players get their first taste of that when they are welcomed into a town. But if new players aren’t given the chance to own a plot and fully participate in a town that they join, they might not get to experience this part of MeepCraft.

Beginning 11/15/14, towns must have at least as many plots as they have residents. For example, if you are a mayor of a town that has 100 residents, your town must own 100 or more plots. If a town is in violation of this rule, you will be given a 7 days to fix the situation, either by adding plots or losing residents.

If the violation isn’t corrected at the end of the 7-day grace period: Each day, the Mayor will be fined of 50% of its daily town tax rate until the town complies with the rule. We hope you will...

Effective immediately:
"Rei's Minimap is now an illegal modification (along with Zan's Minimap, VoxelMap, and others) because it can include an entity radar. This gives players who use these minimaps an unfair advantage over others, and unfortunately, we can't allow it anymore. Please uninstall this modification as soon as possible.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your cooperation!"

We are actively looking for an alternative map for player to be able to use, please share maps you know of that would fall within MeepCraft's policy so that we can review them.

After months of work and development by administrators and our amazing builder Notux, we are finally able to say that we have released the new spawn!

There are a lot of new places in the spawn and we'll constantly be adding more features as the week progresses. We have plans to re-add the bank, change the shop prices, add p-holos, fix minigames, and much more

Thank you to all of the staff and Diana for your help with the new spawn!

I hope all of you enjoy.

Oops. I posted this a bit late. Most of the changes today were to increase server performance.

Notable changes during this update:

• MeepVote has been removed. It will be re-added in a later update.
• Quick commands have been removed. They may be re-added in a later update.
  
• MeepShop, MeepUniverse, and MeepMail have been modified to suck less.
• Increased database performance dramatically by tuning it, and redoing awful plugins.
• Teleport: When you warp between servers, and you are flying (as an Ultimate), you will no longer die.
• Mail: You no longer send mails to players who do not exist.
• Mail: You can now send mail to yourself.
• Mail: To prevent confusion, when you have unread mail it will show you the command to read your mail.
• Tab list header has been added for 1.8 clients.

From this, you should see that servers will be restarting far less often, and servers will be generally more stable and less laggy to play on.

Thank you!

This was mostly a day where we were fixing bugs and unintended behavior in the server.

Notable changes during this update:

• Fixed previous performance issues with database queries on some plugins.
• Currency: You can now use /pay to pay both offline players, and pay people cross server. It will only pay one person at a time, and will pay the person the closest similarity to the name you type.
• Staff: Refined their abuse commands.
• Staff: Schematics are now cross-server.
• Parkour: Fixed players not getting prize money
  
• Parkour: Fixed issue that caused staff to be unable to change the prizes & cooldowns.
• Parkour: You can no longer /tpahere in Planet Parkour.
• Towny/Skyblock: Minecarts and boats are no longer cleared by ClearLag.
• KitPvP: Item frames are now rotated correctly.
• KitPvP: Fixed scoreboard.

• Teamspeak: Updated to the latest version to fix...

This update was mostly internal changes. The update started at 9:10 PM PST, and ended at 11:30 PM PST.

Notable changes during this update:

• Tons of performance improvements to all database operations
• Enhanced internal server APIs to make room for new content
• Chat: Similarity checker on messages. If you send messages of more than 90% similarity within 10 seconds, the server will deny your message. This occurs in global chat, and local chat in populated areas (like spawns)
• Chat: Staff can now see through the advertisement filter
• Chat: MeepCraft.com (note the case) no longer gets censored by the advertisement filter
• Chat: Private chat now uses the filter
• Currency: Total balance fix implemented. If you are inactive for 2 weeks and have less than 2.5M, you will no longer appear on baltop or be included in the total balance.
• Currency: /baltop chat format fixed
  
• Vortex: Redirecting too fast and causing a "You are already logged in" error is now fixed....
