Just ask for an Admin to view the area you want removing and we will let you know if it’s possible with this ticket or not.

1.7 World – End of the World

30 January, 2012 in Minecraft

With the end of the world approaching at an alarming rate I think us Admins need to share with you some of the information that our overlord (FrenchTart) has given us! First off his smiting fist will be demolishing the 1.7 portal at Spawn on Wednesday 1st February, so be sure to get all of your build moves, item drop off (TNT for end of the world event) and screenshots before then as access to the world will be removed… Forever*!!! The actual End of The World event will be taking place on another server, the IP address of the other server is:

Linktart.co.uk:27565

If you would like to use any of the following awesome donation benefits during the event, be sure to pre-pay an Admin before 5pm Sunday 5th February as you won’t be able to access your melon stems/sponges on the test server:

Donator Bonuses

  • Personal Double Chest of TNT - Privatised chest with 100s of blocks of TNT inside. - 1x Melon Stem
  • 20x20x20 Block of TNT placement - Have a massive square of TNT placed via an Admin to really send off your build with a bang! - 1x Melon Stem
  • Stack of Lava Blocks - Bored with Explosions?! Time to melt players builds! - 2x Melon Stem
  • /Fireball command - Shoots fireballs similar to Ghasts, less destructive but great for burning down wooden houses (lasts for 10 minutes) - 2x Sponges

The Admins will also be providing free TNT during the night for none donators and will hopefully be able to give random players a chance of using some of the admin commands/items as the night progresses, all of this depends on how well the server copes with the destruction! So if you want to join in the fun and destruction pop on the linktart.co.uk:27565 server on the
