Spawn Changes Coming Soon!

In preparation for the 1.7.10 update some changes will soon be made at spawn, this will include;
  1. The ability to buy Bullion at spawn for easy money storage in Vault World.
  2. A new store which allows you to sell various items that you would otherwise loose, and which contains the basic information about what can be stored
I'll post details here when the changes are ready, which will most likely be in around a week. 

So, how's the Alpha testing going....

At the moment we are making great headway on getting the server ready for full Alpha/Beta testing, a test version of the server has been up for a while now with all the mods and plugins loaded although obviously testing each plugin and setting up the permissions etc is going to take some time! 

We've hit a few bumps, especially with the custom Forge-Bukkit build we are using (necessary to make sure we have compatibility with the latest Forge versions and updates) but things are definitely coming together and with some help from other mod developers we're getting closer to a final build everyday.

More news coming soon!

1.7.10 Vault List & Info!

As promised here is the list of what can transferred via the Vault when the server moves to DiggyVerse 2.0 (MC 1.7.10). 

Remember, only stuff stored in a Vault will move over, backpack and inventory contents will not!

So here's what you can safely store in the vault...

Anything from Vanilla Minecraft.

DiggysAlphabet, DiggysStuff & DiggysMobs: everything except coal infused stone & rail related blocks.

Anything from the following list of mods (in rough NEI order):

Growthcraft, Redstone Paste, Vending Blocks, Obsidian Boats, SecretRoomsMod, Enchanting Plus, Natura, Carpenters Blocks, Doggy Talents, The Spice Of Life, Backpacks (item only, NO contents etc), Balkons Weapon Mod, ChocoCraft,  Hamster Mod, Parachute Mod, & Dynamic Sword Skills.

Anything from BiblioCraft & BiblioWoods Natura Edition, but nothing from Bibliowoods Biomes O Plenty Edition.

Metallurgy: blocks, ingots,  & armour/tools/weapons only (NOT machines, chests, orbs etc).

Aquaculture: Fishing rods, Neptunium armour & tools, and loot boxes (22266:15 - 22266:18).

Tinkers Construct: Hearts/heart cannisters, Jewelled Apple,  Slime Island related blocks, Stone Torches & some blocks (Ids: 1468, 1471 to 1474, 1477, 1478, 1485, 3186 to 3188 & 3233 only, including sub items, NOT Tools or Weapons).


Extra things you need to know:


If a mod is not mentioned above then unfortunately this means that either the mod is being removed from the modpack or that it's code has changed so much that item/block transfer is not possible.

Unfortunately due to major changes enchantments will not carry over.

Got a trained DoggyTalents dog and/or bred Chocobos? Open a ticket and we'll give you doggy treats  so you can retrain a dog easily after the switch and Chocobo spawn eggs to store in your Vault!

Got an epic build in either the main world or Veteran World? Send us some screenshots by email (remembering to include your player name) and not only will we add some to the gallery (earning you in game money too!) but we'll get in touch about adding extra building blocks to your inventory after the switch! Can't send screenshots? That's ok, just open a ticket and we'll take a look ourselves and screenshot it for you!

For a limited time the Bank at spawn will be providing a Coin to Bullion trade, more on this in a few days!

Hopefully that covers it but you do have any other questions then please do drop me an email!

Client Updates & Alpha Testing

Based on player feedback, and the fact that no new bugs have been reported for over 60 days, the current 1.6.4 version of the modpack will no longer be receiving updates. Instead we'll be focussing on getting the 1.7.10 update ready for release.

I'm also pleased to say that live Alpha testing of the 1.7.10 update will start in just a few days! As I've said before initial testing will be restricted to myself, DigginChickin & Tatankore, with other staff members being invited to join us once we are happy that things are relatively stable.

In the near future I will also be posting the list of what items can be stored in Vault World to be carried over in the update. If you want to start storing things already you can but please be aware that storing items which cannot be carried over could potentially result in the entire chest contents being lost, so be sure to check it once the list is released! 

More news regarding the update coming soon!
