MineCore

MineCore is a Minecraft snapshot server run by techkid6 on the Obrussa box. It always runs the newest Minecraft snapshot, and is home to the Newdonia world (not to be confused with Freedonia)

History

The Beginning

While discussing the lack of a 1.7 update due to software and plugins needing to be updated, the idea of a Vanilla server came up in the #minecraftonline IRC channel, the issue was that there wasn't anyone to administer it, as, the god  SlowRiot is a very busy one, running Freedonia already. In an absolutely brilliant (not) conversation, the idea of a snapshot server was born.

 < techkid6> riot, what do you think about the vanilla temp-server idea
 < SlowRiot> what, replace mco with a vanilla server until 1.7 proper? 
 < techkid6> either that or run alongside?
 < techkid6> maybe on obrussa/mineco.re?
 < SlowRiot> the former, definitely not 
 < SlowRiot> the latter, why aren't we already?
 < techkid6> because I can't set it up?
 < SlowRiot> just a different port on mco proper
 < techkid6> then, lets do it?
 < SlowRiot> or maybe minecore, nothing going on
 < SlowRiot> problem is maintenance effort
 < SlowRiot> it's so much hassle honestly... and it'll take moderation away from here, where people still play
 < SlowRiot> we'd have to make sure everyone KNOWS it'll be deleted
 < chivalrousWeasel> it doesn't need moderation
 < SlowRiot> so then what's the incentive to do anything except grief? 
 < SlowRiot> it'll be yet another entirely-on-fire vanilla server
 < Flippeh> That's the fun of it
 < techkid6> ./gamerule doFireTick false
 < techkid6> ftfy
 < SlowRiot> ok, another griefed not-on-fire vanilla server
 < chivalrousWeasel> the last time we did a temporary server it wasn't too bad
 < chivalrousWeasel> granted, that was a few years ago
 < SlowRiot> things are more complicated now
 < SlowRiot> it would still take some work
 < techkid6> I'd be willing to put in the work for it....
 < SlowRiot> alright... let's have a test on obrussa

And thus, it was born! Within two hours of this conversation, MineCo.re was open for business!
