Hello everyone! I'm just here to announce the creation of John's Giant Gravel Pit, a new 24/7 dedicated build server that has just gone active and seen its first day. A few stragglers have already wandered into the server for a look. Some have stayed to build and I hope you all will pay the pit a visit soon!
The server map is a HUGE continent, strewn with naturally-occurring mountains, lakes, lavafalls, waterfalls, and a huge underground network of caves. Surrounding the content are quite a few islands and archipelagos. 99% of this map is unexplored and unclaimed, so I welcome you to come on in and start creating! (Please note: There is a LARGE No-Build zone around the spawn - please spread out to build!)
The spawn area has been recently remodeled from what is pictured above to a new, more user-friendly place. The spawn lodge and information building has walls that list commands (or type /help) and public warp points, in addition to public chests, furnaces, and workbenches. Immediately adjacent this building is a plaza and park, the perimeter of which is lined with buildings for shops that some users have elected to open. In-Game currency can be used to buy better tools, rare items, or just about anything you don't feel like harvesting yourself. There are also several public mines, and you are free to type /kit tools to get a set of stone tools to get started. We trust you'll find most everything you need wherever you elect to build. Admins can also summon items if absolutely necessary.
You may also ask an admin to build-protect your site from griefers, allowing only yourself of specified users and admins to build there - in addition to creating a warp point so you don't get lost (which is VERY easy to do on this map!). We will attempt to comply within reason - please don't expect us to corner off 1/2 the map for you....
Several user communities have propped up in game. They are listed here:
Springville: A sprawling ocean side town linked to the spawn by a very long road. Including a town hall, quarry, and many user's homes, this town was founded by user Eirick263. As a matter of tradition, server users and Springville residents are invited to place a diamond block with their name in the town hall.
The Admin Academy and honorarium: A building on the outskirts of springville that has walls/plaques where whitelisted players, VIPs, Donators, Moderators, and Admins are all listed.
SkyHaven - A floating city in the sky! This creation of Dropkick2342 has also greatly expanded, containing several users homes, the admin store, and orchard. In addition, Selvin's arch is visible below, and the new Castle construction site is at its base.
As of the now, the server is running Hey0's Mod, SaveandReload Plugin, ChestProtect Plugin, Cuboid Mod, mEconomy Plugin, and Llama Mod (nerfing permanent fire for griefers - ask an admin for a permanent fire if you need one, also for the bucket fix). Due to a programming conflict, the motd is broken, but will be fixed soon.
Please leave your questions, suggestions, and comments here! We look forward to your visit. Also, have a look at what a few users have created (see below sever info):

So far the admin is very active.
There is minimal lag, some here and there, ie: I mine something, then it reappears, and then disapears in 2 seconds.
The server is new so there are many places for you to start constructing.
