NEWS: FUNKY TOWN 1.0 - UP AND RUNNING BUT GETTING RESET

As you all probably know, Funky Town has been up and running Minecraft 1.0.0 for a while now. However, Funky Town is getting a clean, fresh, new start soon. Yup, we are resetting. There is currently a spawn building contest going on, with 12 teams who are competing to build the best new spawn area for the new Funky Town. When all the contestants are done, the whole Funky Town community will get together, look at the completed spawn contest entries, and vote on which spawn is the best. That spawn will be built in the new Funky Town map. Stick around for more news about the reset, future Funky Town updates, and the spawn building contest!

NEWS: MINECRAFT 1.0.0 OUT, BUT FUNKY TOWN STILL RUNNING BETA 1.8.1!

As you all probably know, the full release of Minecraft just came out on Friday, Nov. 18, 2011! It is such an amazing update, but our favorite server, Funky Town, is still running Beta 1.8.1. "I can send anyone who needs a copy of 1.8.1 jar if anyone needs it, with instructions. For PC's only. Email me at mcbaltimore@gmail.com," says elyzabaltimore, server op. But why is Funky Town still running 1.8.1? Server op tman0 says this: "We will not be updating (read: can't) until Bukkit releases a recommended build or generally stable build.

Unfortunately...

@CraftBukkit: The whole team is flying back all of tomorrow, we won't likely be able to finish the update for a couple days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

(you might have to highlight the above text in the quote box to read it)

So, this looks like we might be out for a while. If you need a jar (sorry, but it's modded with Spoutcraft in my case), ask me or Ely."

So, looks like Funky Town will be staying on 1.8.1 for now. But that's fine! Remember, Funky Town is the best server!

NEWS: FUNKY TOWN INTRODUCES FACTIONS!

Yesterday, October 16, 2011, Nukeade, the server owner, installed a new plugin called Factions! This plugin lets you create a faction (group), change its name and description, invite players to it, and more! These factions can be used to make PvP teams, promote shops and businesses, etc. The owner of a faction can decide whether the faction is peaceful or not. To learn more about factions, go on Funky Town (IP: meatwad.phys.cmu.edu) and type this in the chat window: /f help <page number, 1-9>.

STATISTICAN REINSTALLED!

Recently, a plugin called Statistican has broken on Funky Town. Well, good news - Nukeade, the server owner, installed a new version of it so now the plugin is back up and running! CLICK HERE to see the Statistican page on Funky Town's website!

NEWS: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FUNKY TOWN?

Our favorite server, Funky Town Reborn, has been having some changes in plans lately. The map will not be reset for Beta 1.8, for we are waiting until Beta 1.9 to reset because of new biome codes, new biomes, etc. So right now we are sticking with the current map, which is Season 2 (Funky Town 3). Remember, choose Funky Town Reborn (meatwad.phys.cmu.edu:25565). :)

ELY AND KEYES' BIG DAY!

A Funky Town Reborn admin, elyzabaltimore, and a regular payer, JKeyes001, are getting "married" in Minecraft! The "wedding" will take place in Funky Town Reborn (no confirmed wedding date yet) at the pagoda (/warp pagoda). I think the pagoda is an absolutely beautiful and wonderful creation. Also, I was chosen to be the priest for the wedding! I am very excited for it. See ya there! ;)

Nuke has posted the official plans for Funky Town 1.8! You can view the plans by clicking here!

ADVENTURE UPDATE PART 1 HAS BEEN RELEASED!

Minecraft 1.8, or the "Minecraft Adventure Update Part 1" has finally been released! Many users of Minecraft love it. It is very fun in my opinion, and I think the best thing about the update is the new Endermen mob. They are 3 block high black figures with purple eyes! If you look at them, they will teleport closer and closer to you until they finally kill you. The Endermen can also move blocks. This update is the best one yet!

Why Hasn't The Funky News Been Out Lately?

Some of you may be wondering why the Funky News hasn't been out lately. Honestly, I completely forgot about it and I don't have time to release it every week. Sorry!! So, I have a new way of doing the Funky News. I am only going to release it when there is actually news to be reported. So whenever something happens in Funky Town that is newsworthy, I will post it. That will be the Funky News. In fact, there is actually news right now. So, Funky Town-ers, I present the Funky News Issue #2!! :)

NEWS: SERVER MAP RESET...AGAIN!

Yes, Funky Town Reborn is getting yet ANOTHER map reset! This time it is for the release of the Minecraft Adventure Update. Many new natural things, such as abandoned mine shafts and villages, will spawn in the world. However, the old map from July-September 2011 will be accessible still so players can get their old items, use their old creations, etc. This update is bound to be the best one yet!
