  • Still Testing

    This site looks dead and the last content is from 2020.

    This site is a test bed for me to practice skills.

    In 2021 I was able to move it to another hosting company. The previous one just gave up on updating any of their hosting servers.

    Running old servers and then stringing your customers along is just horrible

    This site will not get updates but the domain is still in use for other purposes and not for sale.

  • This site is still alive

    This site looks dead, I know that. Last content is from 2013, I know that too.

    This site is a test bed for me to practice skills and it got destroyed multiple times playing around and being hacked.

    I’ve asked my hosting company to update the backend, but they “are working on it”. I am hoping that means an upgrade within the next month. If not, there’s no use in my continuing to update this site.

    Guess that comes with the territory when using cheap shared hosting, but running 3 year old versions of key software is just NOT OK.

    Rest assured, I am working on a solution to keep the site alive.

  • Restart

    I’m currently looking into restarting and updating this site. I have some plans but I will take some time to implement them.

    Plans include adding mod info to DynamiCraft.com

    More to come…

  • Status Update

    This site is currently on a hiatus. My Minecraft gaming experience is now more focussed on modded gameplay.

    I added a lot of mods to make Minecraft more technical and automated. More info coming soon…

    The block, item and mob database will not be updated at least until 1.3 hits, maybe it will take even more time.

  • Minecraft 1.2 released

    As promised Jeb has released Minecraft 1.2. This introduces all the changes made in the snapshots and a lot of bug fixes. Most notable changes include a new world format (Anvil), a new biome (Jungle) , new mobs (Ocelot, Cat and Iron Golem) and a new AI.

    Update: Since the initial 1.2.1 release, Jeb has released 2 bug fix releases (1.2.2 and 1.2.3)

  • Minecraft 1.2 Preview Released

    It was just a small tweet by Jeb_, but 1.2 Preview has been released. I will be followed by 1.2 (or 1.2.1 if any bugs surface) tomorrow. So no 12w09a snapshot, but a full release.

    There are no changelogs or details available at the moment. But there is a new block and lots of bug fixes since 12w08a (Jeb’s Tweet).

  • Bukkit is now part of Mojang

    In a surprising twist, the most popular adaptation of the Minecraft server, the bukkit project, is now part of Mojang. All bukkit developers are now Mojang staff and will start work on the new server and / or mod API.

    The news was announced by Jeb  and EvilSeph on the Mojang and Bukkit site. EvilSeph has since posted a FAQ on the implications of this change.

    It looks like there will be a transition period and Bukkit will be maintained during this period. The new API will be written from scratch for Mojang and will most likely NOT be Open Source.

    Apparently Mojang spoke with a lot of Minecraft addon developers and settled on bukkit (and not Spout or MCP).

  • Snapshot 12w08a Fixes Some Lights

    After the introduction of the Anvil format last week, this weeks snapshot focuses on the lighting system. The underground lighting is fixed. However chunks generated with 12w07b are not refreshed and the lights remain as they where. This is the risk when being on the bleeding edge.

    12w08a also adds a new mob: the Iron Golem. It acts as a village guard, killing Zombies when they invade at night. Another neat feature is upside down stairs, although they are a bit hard to place

  • Snapshot 12w07b Raises World Height

    An interesting announcement this week: the 7th weekly snapshot of 2012 introduces a new world format to Minecraft: Anvil. Key feature is the new world height of 256.

    Also included is an increase of block ID’s to 4096.

  • Under Construction

    This site is still under heavy construction.

    I am in the process of adding all minecraft blocks, items and mobs as content.

    For the time being I still need to do a lot of testing. Therefore all information about the minecraft items and mobs should be checked. I am using placeholders and templates so the information is most likely incomplete or not correct.

    Complete information and content will be up ASAP.

    Thank you for the patience,
