The server has been updated to 1.2.4. However, it is still using the vanilla server.

The server has been updated to version 1.2.3. It is not using CraftBukkit, as it has some problems on the server (I get stuck when connecting to it). You should be able to connect with Minecraft 1.2.3 clients.

You can now go back to Mass Effect 3 (and don't tell me how it ends, I won't be able to play it until this summer)

The server has been updated to the latest CraftBukkit version. You should now be able to connect with Minecraft 1.1 clients.

Some of you may already know about IRC. For those who don't, it's a chat protocol : you connect to a server, join a channel and say stuff. What's different from Steam is that you can easily put a bot there that allows you to see and talk to people in a Minecraft server, or have less useful functions like counting the number of words you've said since you're there.

The server is available at 88.190.216.3 6667 (6697 for a secure connection), channel is #minecraft.
A tutorial on how to install one of the most famous clients is available at http://88.190.216.3/irc/en/mirc.html

Last year before the end of the world by the way, gives you less than 12 months to finish your Minecraft projects, so hurry up!
