The End world can now be publicly accessed using either /warp TheEnd or /TheEnd
To get back to the over world, use /warp OverWorld or /OverWorld

Also, the Ender Dragon will now automatically spawn 12 hours after it's killed. It will drop the egg and the exp, not the portal.
This is still a work in progress, so please report any bugs you find.

Cheers.

This is a response to this thread. It's about time for a new building competition, so I thought I'd get you all involved in making a new jail.
For those of you that have had the privilege of never seeing the jail, I'll explain how it works. Our staff members have a command which sends a player to the jail for a specific amount of time, unable to break blocks and type commands, it comes in handy a lot.
(If you want to see the current jail, type /warp jail)

Here is some information you may need before you start building.
- The jail must be a fair size. Around 50x50 blocks will suffice, but going over or under is fine.
- The jail must have around 10 - 15 jail cells.
- The jail cells shouldn't be too large.
- Try not to make it more than 2 stores.
- Be creative! The more creative you get, the better chance you'll have in winning.

The competition will end in around 3 weeks time. Although this can be extended if needed.
The reward is still to be decided, but considering this is a large project to invest in, the prize will be sufficient.
Once you finish your build and you are happy with it, post the coordinates below (type /getpos in-game)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Good luck, and I hope to see some awesome submissions. =)

The PvP server is back online with a few updates! I threw out the old plugin as it was very unstable and unpredictable.
The new plugin it's running works a lot better overall, and has a lot more features and customization.
When you join the server, you'll find yourself in what's called the Lobby. In the Lobby is a list of game modes, rules, and current games.

As of right now, there is only 1 game type which is arena:
- 2-6 players
- Team based
- 6 minute time limit (team with most kills wins)

To queue for a game, simply click the 'Arena' sign.
There is a cool feature when it comes to queuing for a match. If a game needs 6 players for the game to start, and all 6 players queue for the match, the match will start as it should.
But if only 2 players have queued, after a 2 minute time limit has been reached, the game will realize that no one else wants to join the queue, and the game will then start with only 2 players (practically a 1v1)

There are currently 7 classes, but only 3 to choose from. It is also the game map as before.

Since this plugin has so much customization, feel free to suggest classes, game modes, or maps in the General Discussion forum.

Enjoy!

So I've gone ahead and put together a small server for PvP. It's very much in a beta stage right now, and I will try and fix it up as much as possible.
The server will be up for as long as you all want it. I've paid for a month, so if the majority of you think it's a bad idea, I'll remove it.
So please give as much feedback as you like!

Here's some general info:
- I've installed a Capture The Flag plugin.
- There is only 1 map right now, some of you will recognize it as the map 'Terminal' from the Call of Duty series.
- There are 2 teams, Red and Blue.
- The server needs 2 players connected for a game to start.
- A team must capture 3 flags to win the game.

Classes are:
usage: /class [classname]
- Archer
- Assassin
- Chemist
- Heavy
- Medic
- Pyro
- Soldier

I've also created a new board for the PvP server itself, and a new Mumble channel for anyone interested.

Enjoy.

Feel free to update to Minecraft 1.4.7. It only has bug fixes, so updating will have no effect on connecting to the server.

Cheers,

If you wish to continue playing on the server, do not update your clients to 1.4.6.
I will update the server as soon as a Bukkit build for 1.4.6 is released.

The server is now 1.4.6 compatible, so feel free to update your clients!

Mob disguises, and shop displays are currently disabled, I will update them as soon as possible.

Enjoy 1.4.6!

As the title suggests, today marks a pretty important milestone to me and the community; DKCraft's 1 year anniversary!
I hate using the old 'it feels just like yesterday..' phrase, but I can honestly tell you it feels like yesterday that I hit the start button for the first time, uploaded the very first plugins to the server, and saw the very first guest join.
DKCraft has grown and flourished into an amazing community I'm proud to have.

You are all what makes this server what it is.
So thank you to everyone who has connected to the server, griefer or not.
Thank you for all the growing support through donations and friendly PM's.
Thank you to our past and current staff for keeping the server in order.

Thank you everyone!
