The Wolf Den is back on line and running the latest version of Minecraft. For the time being it is running vanilla, but Over the next few weeks I intend to add features via plugins, and eventually older worlds.

For now you can connect using the IP 67.172.210.143. An official discord has been created as well, which you can join by clicking here

I've updated the server to 1.12 so you can all get your color concrete mixed. Let me know if any plugins are misbehaving. I did have to disable Phatloots as it was throwing constant errors. Looks like it hasn't been touched since September of last year, so we'll see if that ever gets fixed.

Mine on, comrades.

Today I updated the server to versions 1.11 - The Exploration Update. I don't anticipate this to affect any of the plugins, but keep your eye out for anything misbehaving and report it on the forums. I'll be taking a look at plugins all the same to make sure whatever can be updated is updated.

I've also added a new World called "Den1_11". The current world is getting on in age, and the Minecraft has always had a hard time generating new things in old worlds. This new world will allow everyone to experience the new features and have a fresh start. Please note that the new world will not be replacing the existing world.

After many road blocks, the Server is once more up and running, but with something of a "Skeleton Crew" when it comes to plugins. There were several issues with the back up, so I started reconstructing our plugin configurations, starting with those most important for play. I'll be working on getting everything back over the coarse of the next few days, but Enough is in place that you should all be able to resume play.

Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused you guys.

The server will be down on the Saturday of February 6 while I move house. This will be an all day outage, but Comcast permitting the server should be back up in the evening. Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

Yep, that thing I said in the title. The Wolf Den will be going public this week, likely Thursday. It's something I've been mentioning for some time but haven't gotten to yet. I think we're at a point where we can support it again, and the server could certainly use the boost in players, though I can't say what we should expect. It's a big world, and there are lots of other servers to compete with.

If you want to protect your goods from potential theft and destruction, I suggest you look into Towny, which we now run on the server. It provides all sorts of protections within the towns players create. There's too much involved for me to talk about in this post, but the documentation can be found by following this link (hint: click me).

Towny is a plugin which provides in depth town and nation building for all players, as well as various protections within those towns. Any player can create a town and invite other players to be residents within those towns.

For detailed information, view the Towny documentation at http://towny.palmergames.com/towny/757-2/

Thanks to some very generous help from a couple of our players, The Wolf Den has just received it's next wave of updates! Now it's sporting a fancy Crucial MX200 250GB SSD, and a Revolution Xt 430W 80-Gold certified PSU from Enermax. I fought with the server all day getting everything transferred to the SSD, which is sporting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and now things seem to be running smoothly.

I'd like to thank everyone for the support, especially the donators who covered a whopping half of the cost of these parts.

And of course, pictures!

Out with the old...



And in with the new!

The server will be down for maintenance from 8 AM on Sunday, July the 26th until noon. I will be installing new parts and transferring 1s and 0s around, so it'll take some time.

If I finish this process early I'll be sure to post so as a response to this thread.

Hello Everyone,

It is with regret that I must announce that Fax_Machine will no longer be an Administrator on The Wolf Den. A recent event has shed light on behavioral patterns in which he has on multiple occasions used his power to grief other players. This has resulted in a toxic environment in which some players feel uneasy at his presence, and that is not the sort of environment I want for my our server. What makes this more serious is that this is not the first time Fax’s abuse of power has been called into question, and while we’ve been lenient in the past, almost to a fault, I can no longer stand by. From this moment forth, Fax_Machine has been demoted to the Member group.

This decision was not easy for me, as Fax_Machine has put tremendous effort into maintaining and improving the server, especially in my absence, and has been with the server for many years. For this reason he will remain welcome in The Wolf Den. I will also make available to him a copy of all the work he has done, so that he may continue it elsewhere. Unfortunately, The Wolf Den cannot be that place for him.
