Due to recent server events, map generation issues, backup failures, and other happenings we've decided to do another round of spring cleaning.
This will be our biggest clean-out yet as we will be resetting the server maps, as well as purging the server whitelists so that we can focus on rebuilding the communtiy that BinaryChaos was famous for.

For further information or questions, please don't hesitate to join mumble or ask anyone from the Mod Team in game or via forums.

Update: The 1.5.2 vanilla server is back online with a fresh map! Previous server donors need not re-apply to the whitelist, they will be automatically re-added!

Our Feed the Beast and Minecraft server are currently down due to some technical difficulties.
A temporary snapshot server is running for anyone interested.

Update: Things are starting to look pretty grim for the servers lately, both maps have crashed hard and are throwing irreversible errors. Even before the vanilla server went down a few of us stumbled across chunk generation errors, something clearly isn't right with the current version of Minecraft.

I am currently considering just running an anarchistic vanilla snapshot server until 1.6 release unless anyone else has a better idea. Also NuclearLemon has resigned as a moderator due to time constraints, and some recent drama on the server.

I realized today that the Feed the Beast server has been neglected for some time. I have been trying to give some attention to all of our servers lately and today was the day for FTB! Direwolf20 has been updated to version 5.2.1, a few versions ahead of what we were running before. This will include some new mods like Bibliocraft and AppliedEnergistics which are some amazing mods!

A poll is currently running for the vanilla Minecraft server to decide if we should simply be running snapshots as we are a vanilla/mod-free community anyways, vote here!

There have also been some recent reports of lag on the vanilla server. This is due to multiple players generating new terrain on the map which we never did on the previous server but feel free to report any bugs, lag, glitches and such on the forums so we can investigate. The earlier the better.

Due to a recent drop in server activity we've decided to try something that has worked well in the past for us and will be making a backup of the current map - Then opening the vanilla Minecraft server to the public. Thanks to Daevid for the suggestion!

Daevid is a long time member of our community, and currently our most active vanilla Minecraft player, as such he is being made a server moderator of the vanilla Minecraft community!

We've also opened up a Twitch.tv channel that we are testing out. Nothing too exciting, but we will potentially be streaming live server events and other things! Please add the channel to your favourites and check it regularly for updates.
