I'm back, and itching to code. I had a rough last year and a half, but lately have been looking for a new project to pick up now that my father has gotten the BEATEN CANCER achievement! Woo! Let's all celebrate with something new, shall we?
PhoenixTerrainMod is dead. I want to start a ground up rewrite however. It will focus on performance and documentation so good that new guys can actually use the plugin without a college degree in computer science. It's going to start slow (the first build will only control ore), but it's going to be VERY fun, I can promise that. The first build will most likely come a few weeks from now, and will only control ore. But things will be added with time.
It will support Spout/Vanilla primarily (a ground up rewrite of the minecraft client and server designed to be fast and FREE!), with generic SSP/SMP builds a secondary goal and Minecraft workbench (the official mod api) a possibility. I will be avoiding Spout Legacy for the simple reason that it's dying.
For now, there is only a spout forum thread. I will soon have a website. Bookmark this thread for now:

The new mod will be called simply APEX. APEX stands for Advanced Programable Environment for Xeriscaping:
Xeriscape is an awesome word, you should look it up:
http://en.wikipedia....iki/Xeriscaping
It basically means landscaping, only trying to be really efficient with water usage. Which makes sense, since this ground-up-rewrite aims to be really efficient with your computers horsepower. Just go with it!
Original post on the death of the old PTM:
I have bad news. We had a death in my family. I was on a trip attending the funeral. (It must be said, this is not my father, it was my grandmother and was very unexpected. More on my father below).
During the funeral, my friend decided to try to rebuild the linux distro on the server and hosed it by formatting a new file system (ext4) over my old one (JFS). I don't know why he did this, but it's ok as I know at least some people have checked out the source code and the wiki and site have backups.
The bad news is I've come to a sort of revelation in my life with my grandmothers funeral. I don't really have time for this mod in the moment. That's not to say I will never pick it up again, but I have to put it on hiatus for now. As such, I'm officially "deprecating" PTM. There is no way with the amount of time I have now I could make a 1.8 release anyways.
There will be one more release this week (now out as of this writing) which is a consolidation of all current bugfixes, and it will include source code for people to fork. I won't be restoring the website but I will keep this thread for resurrections and interesting projects. If anyone is interested in taking this over please contact me.
I'm very sorry for this, I really wanted to see this through but my life is turned upside down right now. Thanks folks, it's been a hell of a ride.
The final releases are done. Here they are, they include source code and BOBs.

Why you would like to join? I would like to join this server because I have been looking for a good vanilla server to play on. I am a member of another server quite like this one but its always good to have two servers that you can play on. Due to the fact that I am a member of two servers means I won't be able to be on super-often (This does not mean that I will never get on, it only means that you will probably see me every 2 days or something like that). Anyway, hope I get accepted so I can find some of dem .
