New freebuild world open (range5)
/warp range5
This time, it is freebuilder ONLY. So if you're a greenmane, you won't be able to build.
I don't have plans on when to shut down range3, probably not soon.
Equestria 4.0
Please read all of this before asking any questions, there is a lot to go over.
- Soon we will be making a new Equestria world from scratch.
- I can't give a real estimate on when, we are not rushing this. It will be ready when the admins are happy with it.
- It will be known as "equestria4" since it will be our 4th version.
- I swore that when we started Equestria3 that it would be the final version of Equestria we would ever do, but I hadn't considered that over time we'd end up with all different people than from when we started. People who might not be sick of building the same things over and over. So the reason I am approving this is so all the newer people we have can participate in building the important areas of Equestria.
- The other worlds will be unaffected
- The current Equestria world will stay loaded for a long time (several months), but as soon as equestria4 is availble for the builders to build, it will go into read only mode. This is how we did it last time and I think it worked well.
- Nothing will be copied from the old world except for contest winner buildings, such as Rainbow Dash's house and Twilight's tower. We realize this is bad news for newer towns like Las Pegasus, but try to let the feelings of loss be replaced with excitement about building new things.
He is using WorldPainter, but taking feedback from all the admins. When that is all done, we'll start making the town outlines and plots, then open it up.
Some of us only only wanted towns that have been seen in the show, but after some debating, Tsarbomb came up with a compromise. He extended the world to the South, and all the towns that have only been mentioned by name can reside there.
We're still deciding a lot of things, and making it up as we go, but I'll start a questions thread, and try to update this post you are reading right now with information as I think of it.
Post here if there's any questions
Old worlds loaded
For the 1 year anniversary of the server (we were mylittleminecraft.com when we started), I've loaded up the old worlds that we started with.
First, see the post with all the worlds we've had, it is "oldpony" and "pony" basically.
/warp equestria1
- April 10, 2011 to April 28, 2011. Our first world, just to get some people. Not a lot done.
/warp equestria2
- April 28, 2011 to August 7, 2011. Our second try at Equestria, much nicer.
Some other warps:
/warp oldbrohoofmuseum
- a nice warp hub that lphemphill and tsarbomb made to these worlds.
/warp ponymover
- Tsarbomb fixed up the ponymover to work somewhat, replacing all the rails with powered rails, changing the glass out, and powering the rails. Put a minecart on the track and go!
Topic on this if you want to chat about it.

I'll leave the worlds loaded until at least after this weekend.
minecraft.net login issues
This happens from time to time and its always annoying because there's nothing we can do.
Minecraft's login server (session.minecraft.net) is having issues, so if you can't log into the server, it is probably that. There is no need to make a new post about this, there is nothing anyone can do about it, we just have to wait for Mojang to get around to fixing it.
Just look on the minecraft forums, there's always a lot of posts about this everytime it happens.

update: They are finally aware of it.

Updated to 1.2.5
We are at 1.2.5 now. Your 1.2.4 client will still work if you don't feel like updating all of your mods right now.
Another weird thing about this update is if you apply mods for 1.2.4 to your 1.2.5 .jar file, they will work.
