Hello all 1.7 has arrived, we have updated our server to the latest version. Enjoy pistons, stackable fences, sheers and more!

I would also like to congratulate our JUNE OP OF THE MONTH: Angel_Lord!




As some of you may not know we have been building a huge server behind your backs. To answer all the questions.. Yes, this will be version 4. Noobstown has not been around too long and we are learning each version we bring out, we are sorry that you'll have to restart again but if you look at the state of our current world in terms of holes, tnt mess, griefing, lava, water and other stuff we need to start fresh.

What will the update bring?

A whole new world full of RPG and kick ass events!

We are upgrading the server so that it can handle the amount of players and we are putting a white-list in!

Version 4 teaser

1.7 has been released please do not update until you get the all clear from the Noobstown staff.


Why can't I update?

Updating the server can take sometime we have to wait for plugin developers and the software that the plugins run from to update (Bukkit) this means our server will have to stay in 1.6 for a few days, unless the update was minuscule.


When can I update?

As I said above when Noobstown updates, although you can update and check out the new stuff. We have supplied a guide on how to downgrade on our youtube channel youtube.com/Noobscraft


Download 1.6 bin folder: http://adf.ly/1wlJe

Delete current bin folder and replace with this (Backup texture packs and single player mods)

To upgrade once 1.7 is out run minecraft go to options (force update) then press play.

We are swapping the server over to a different box and allocating more memory to ease the lag and hopeful fix the roll-backs/crashes. We are currently running 4gb (We was running 6 at one point) and we are now going to 8gb so should be much quicker. Thanks for the patients and I hope to see you back online soon.


Theory:

Our theory is that this map is so big and the towns are so spread out over a huge area this can cause huge lag, if you are in an area you are loading out chunks. If all the players are spread out in the world that means mass loading of chunks and the memory was having a hard time keeping up with the people and the chunks. This is why we have decided to upgrade to improve stability and game play.

Connection IP: 69.175.96.60 or Noobstown.com


Second theory:

Our second theory if the memory does not fix the issues is that a plugin is causing a memory leak, when the memory hits a certain low point it refreshed back to the original amount and flushes the chunks. Our world was not currently refreshing the memory it would just drop rapidly hit 0 and crash. This could be a memory leak or just lack of memory.


We will continue our testing over the next week or so please bare with us.

We are working to fix these god damn annoying issues, seriously if there not fixed soon we will swap hosts I am sorry about all this bull****, its really ****ing me off and its very stressful. 

Would you do me a favour and sign up to this game I used to play? It helps me win something


You don't have to play it!

Unfortunately irkieran has decided to leave the team, this is due to him not having much interest in minecraft any more. We wish him the very best in whatever he decides to do, Goodbye! 

I am please to announce that we are now running a small terraria server, if you enjoy playing terraria as-well as our minecraft server then this is an amazing opportunity to continue playing what you love with your friends.

Connection details:

Server no longer active.

Coming soon...
