Hey everyone! Buildbox has successfully updated to 1.7! A lot has changed since the server went down for the update ~10 hours ago, so here's what you need to know regarding the new Buildbox 1.7:

Regarding users
  • Upon login, you will spawn in Buildbox's new spawn
  • Inventories have been cleared
  • Splash potions have been blacklisted for Guest>Builder
  • Water and lava have been blacklisted for Guests in all freebuild worlds
Regarding worlds
  • Nether, Skylands, PumpkinPatch, and Boo have been removed
  • Flatland has been wiped
  • Terrain has been wiped and updated with a new seed, featuring 1.7 biomes
  • The old spawn area has been removed in favour of a new, more helpful spawn
  • We have a new world dedicated solely to redstone builds, MechWorld! This world will be wiped weekly and an archive available for download on the forums.
  • A plotworld has been released for AdvBuilder+ that feature plots 4x the size of normal plots
Planned updates

There are a few things that I wanted to add that I haven't gotten on the server yet, and will happen within the next few days(hopefully). These include:
  • All non staff ranks will only be able to teleport freely to lower ranks - that means advbuilders will be able to teleport to builders and players, builders will be able to teleport to players, and players will always have to /call for a teleport. This is due to complaints of abuse surrounding the teleport command. Note: This will most likely take longer than a few days, as I'm yet to find a plugin that allows this sort of control.
  • Staff IRC Channel!
  • Beautifuler spawns for MechWorld, Terrain, and Flatland
Downloads
Bugs!
There are lots of them. I'll be working through them over the next few days. If you find one, shoot me a PM here on the forums and I'll add it to the list. Right now, they include:
  • A seemingly random restart that has something to do with io.netty
  • Several minor WE issues
  • First-time spawns don't always work right - if you get stuck, just type /mvtp plots
Shout-outs
A huge thank you to the following people, without whom the server would still be 1.6.4:
  • GmK
  • Malcovent
  • superstein
  • SparklyMuffinz

The Adv-Builder plots -- I can imagine some pretty massive builds and maps on these. And I assume that we can allow other players to build in them? Also, it's nice to see that lava has been blacklisted in the free-build worlds.

Thank you for the super-speedy update! :laugh:

I think that once a week is a bit over-the-top for the wiping of MechWorld, Imo, perhaps Bi-weekly? I don't know much about server stoofs, so I leave it to you ;)

MechWorld is simply intended to be a world for testing redstone contraptions, and as such there is no need to leave these on the server for much longer than a week each - it keeps these builds off the flatland and means that if members were to leave redstone clocks on, lagging the server, they'd be gone after a week!

For the time being, only advbuilders+ will be able to build in AdvPlots - period. The primary reason for this is that these plots were created as an incentive to apply for AdvBuilder and should be seen as a privilege, not just a bigger plot to build on because you have a friend who is an advanced builder. This could change in the future after feedback, but I'd like to test out this system first.
