Confusion regarding world boundary
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 4:25 pm
Functional portals
As many have noticed, it's still possible to pass by the world boundary using existing nether portals. It is not possible to light new portals that lead to outside the world boundary, but if they were already there they will still work. This is because we were technically unable to remove all existing portals at once. So we've just set it to give us a warning whenever somebody passes through the boundary, and then we have to manually go and deactivate the portals (and bounce you back to where you came from). So, if you have any existing nether portals beyond the 600 boundary in the nether, please deactivate them to save us the trouble.
Moving your base
If you have a base, or items, beyond the world boundary, I will be happy to move them inside the world boundary (even if you're stuck inside the world boundary). This is not compulsory, if you'd rather just leave your base outside the boundary, you're free to do so.
To have anything moved, do a /modreq requesting it (ie. /modreq I'd like to have my base moved inside the boundary ) and when I (or another admin) catches you online, we'll move it for you.
Beds
Same as the portals. Existing beds haven't been destroyed, but you are unable to sleep in new beds. Please save us the trouble of having to respond to a warning on you using beds, by removing your bed yourself.
