Minor server rollback
Due to a griefing attempt in Central town, I've had to rollback parts of the map. This only affects the general area around the spawn point, so you might have to redo some of the construction work you spent time on in the past two days. I'm sorry about that.
Of course, the offending players have been found and banned from the server.
Home Protection Program
It is possible for any players on the server to have their creations protected against unexpected modifications (or griefs).
With the Home Protection Program, your buildings can be set so that only you, or a list of authorized people, will be able to make any changes within a given area. This means that random people won't be able to place block, plant signs or burrow through your walls to find their way inside. This is used to complement the locked doors mecanism that you already have access to. You can also define friends to be able to work on your home even after it's locked.
To get this protection, meet me (Dr. Cossack) in-game and I'll take care of it!
End Reset
The End, lair of the EnderDragon, has been reset. Any adventurers who wish to attempt the boss battle can now head to the Stronghold and try it! The map will be reset as needed, once a week at most, to give access to that part of the game to all players. This is also open to all those who already completed the battle, of course.
This has an important consequence: all construction work on the End is removed whenever the land is reset, so don't waste any time building permanent structures!
Server upgraded to 1.1!
The server has been upgraded to Minecraft 1.1! Please update your clients, and visit us as soon as you get the chance!
This update brings some changes to the weather, so previously green areas might be receiving snow while other regions will get a warmer climate. I haven't noticed any major changes so far on that front, but maybe you'll find a surprise while exploring!
Slaying of the dragon
After weeks of talks and planning, a group of adventurers decided to make a stand: they'd go and rid the land of the dangerous EnderDragon, whose lair was at the extreme edge of the world as we know it.
DrCossack, Krodane, Sagecryst and TopHatLayton. These are the four heroes who were ready to go forward and put an end to the reign of the evil beast. Weeks, nay, months of hunting and mining had been required to assemble everything required for this noble quest. Armor had to be forged, weapons needed to be imbued, pearls had to be hunted, and rods needed to be secured. At last our troop set forth, and after much struggle, reached a point where they were ready.

Minecraft 1.1 coming - wait before upgrading!
If all things go as planned, Minecraft 1.1 will be released shortly. As a reminder, please do not update your client when offered to do so! The server will remain on 1.0.1 until CraftBukkit and the plugins have been updated properly, which will take some time. If you upgrade before that happens, you will no longer be able to connect to the server.
New chatroom!
A public chatroom is now available for the players of the Creeper's Lab!
This new chatroom, available on IRC, also ties directly to the server. This means that people in the chat can talk to those within the game, and vice versa! For the full details, please see the new chat page. In short, the IRC server is irc.chat4all.org on ports 6666-6669 and 7000, in the channel #interordi-mc. Web clients are also available.
Locking chests and doors
Some access rights weren't set properly, meaning that non-trusted players couldn't lock their chests and doors. This has been fixed.
As a reminder, everyone is able to lock their chests, doors, furnaces and trapdoors to prevent other people from going through them. To do that, type in /cprivate while near the object to lock, then left-click it to apply the setting. If the game complies that it's already locked, or if you want to remove the protection, type /cremove. As an extra, to set an object to be available to everyone yet only lockable by you (for example, to have a chest full of items free for the taking), use /cpublic.
Server upgraded to 1.0.1!
The server has been upgraded to 1.0.1 tonight, so you'll need to update your game to be able to connect. To do that, simply answer "YES" when the game warns you about a new version being available!
From this point forward, we'll stick to official Minecraft releases only. There will always be a delay between game and server upgrades, so please keep an eye on these news to know when and when not to update.
Commands added
A set of utility commands have been added to the server. Players now have access to commands such as /time to get the current in-game time and /msg to send private messages. It's also possible to protect chests, doors, furnaces and dispensers using a new set of instructions. That way, you can secure the booty found on your adventures, ensuring that no one else will go through it while you're gone!
Please see the Commands page for the full list!
