1.5 Has just been released on Minecraft!

thats the good news,

the bad news is, Multiplay are currently updating Minecraft, so the server will not be supporting 1.5 until then,

i would advice DO NOT update your Minecraft until i reply to this post saying the server has been updated,

this could be a few hours, or a few days.

If you do update, you wont be able to play on our server till then, or any other server infact!

If you want to down-grade your Minecraft back to 1.4 till then, google for results,

Cheers.

1.5 Patch Notes:


Added Weather (rain, snow, thunder)

Added Statistics and Achievements

New Items (Detector rail, Power Rail, Birch and Pine/Spruce Saplings)

Holding SHIFT+Click on something in a chest will immediately drag the selected item(s) into your inventory and vice-versa.

Birch and Pine/Spruce trees now drop Birch and Pine/Spruce saplings, respectively
Performance improvements

Crafting a ladder now produces 2 ladders

If lightning strikes a pig, it becomes a Zombie Pigman

New settings in options:
Ability to change GUI size (Small, Normal, Large, Auto)
Advanced OpenGL (For higher-end graphics cards)
New Power armor image that looks like electricity (in /armor)


Bug Fixes:
Climbing a ladder with gaps will not work anymore, but moving downwards is still possible.
On fancy graphics, the sides of grass blocks are now biome-specific and match the shade on the top.

You can now move through flowing water at previous speed.

Wolves have a better understanding of doors. (They will go through doors most of the time, but will sometimes get stuck on the 3 pixel thickness of the door. They will eventually back up for another go at the opened door.)

The lighting on portals and ice has been fixed (previously had triangles on the blocks) when using Smooth Lighting.
On SMP, the health of wolves are now syncronized between server and client, causing wolves to only whimper when low on health, opposed to all of the time.

New Bugs:
Achievements only work in SMP if you have already completed first achievement in Single Player
Crash when Detector Rails are placed beside normal rails.
Blocks can't be placed on snow.
If you change Advanced OpenGL to on and then back again, giant holes will appear that you can see through.
Jumping off a fence in SMP triggers an anti-flight kick.
Rain will fall through glass, acting as if there is no block there.
When hitting a grass block the destroying animation is darker on the side than the animation on top of the grass block, though only on fancy graphics.
Flowing water no longer pushes empty minecarts that fall into it
GUI: create new world input boxes misaligned under small and normal settings

Since we haven't had any real progress, we're starting over with the remapping to see if there was any issues with updating that we've missed. The whole team will be working on it, but this bar below this post will display out current status.


Status Bar: 1% -,-


Edit:

for the people who this confuses, basically thats the official word from the developers of the operating system we run on our server,

so they've had to restart their 1.5 development, but it shouldnt be too long. :D
