See end of page for version 1.8.1 Info!
Well, I've finally taken the plunge and as usual, I do things in a big way when I do. So, now that I'm playing Minecraft and renting my own server, I'd better start filling out some info for my players. The server isn't open to the public, sorry.
Useful commands to remember:
/stack = Will automatically stack things in your inventory, including pork chops!
/locate [player] = Can force a compass (that you make in-game) to point towards the named player!
/locate = Forces compass to point at the spawn point again.
/kit starter = Grants player a starting set of wooden tools.
/money help = Explains the various gold/silver related economy commands.
/money pay [player] [amount]
The economy on the Freedom Server deals in Gold and Silver coins. So, $1.24 would equal 1 gold, 24 silver.
/gi = Displays the current conversion rates for Iron, Gold and Diamonds.
/gi [iron, gold or diamond] [amount to sell]

/iteminfo =
Type in the appropriate command and then left click the object:
| Command | Alias of | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| /cpublic | /lwc -create public | |
| /cpassword <Password> | /lwc -create password <Password> | |
| /cprivate | /lwc -create private | The optional arguments can also be used |
| /cunlock <Password> | /lwc -unlock <Password> | |
| /cinfo | /lwc -info | |
| /cremove | /lwc -remove protection | Turns a protected/public/passworded chest to normal. |
/who or /where = Lists who is online and what region of the wold (if named) that they are closest to.
/who [player name] = Gives coordinates of the player you are looking for.
/ch help = Help for the Herochat system.
/ch g = Global chat channel
/ch l = Local chat channel
/ch h = Help chat channel
/msg [target] [message...] = These commands all can be used to send a message to a player.
/message
/whisper
/pm
/tell
/me [message...] = Emote an action.
/motd = Shows you the current Message of the Day which includes game time and what world you are adventuring in. This is a multiverse server with stargates, so that does matter!
t (button) = Talk or view the chat/event log.
/list
A Calendar date appears at login (and /motd). Yes, time actually goes by and not just in the real world. ;)
/time = Tells you the current time in the game world.
/loretime = Gives the current day and calendar date. Currently set to the Warhammer Fantasy calendar cycle.
/pvp on(off) = Toggles your personal PVP flag. PVP is off by default on the server.
Sleeping in a bed or using the /home set command will set your home respawn point. The cost is 21 gold each time you use your bed.
/home can teleport you to your home. The cost is 10.5 gold and there is a 10 second delay.
/compass = Gives you the direction you are facing.
/pos or /whereami or /getpos = Gives you your map coordinates, depth, direction and name of world you are in.
Sleeping in a bed can also shift night to day IF no other players are currently online, or all players sleep at the same time or they are idle. The 21 gold cost will still apply, but you might get to start your day early!
Hitting a boat will shrink it again and you can pick it up!
Always keep a chest in your backpack. Upon dying, more often than not the chest will fill with your goods and be waiting at your point of death, with a sign marking it!
/intro - Replays the music you might hear when you log into the server. /midi stops all intro music immediately.

What are the client-side features?
(Players must have the Spoutcraft client mod installed.)

Minecraft 1.8.1
The game has a new version out and if you log in with the normal client, you may be prompted to update to 1.8.1. I HAVE patched the server to 1.8.1, so copy your existing Minecraft folders or backup the older minecraft.jar prior to updating and you'll be able to play the newest version AND still have a version compatible with most of the existing servers out there, including Freedom Server should I need to revert.
Use the Default textures for the game so that you can see the new features -or- use:
JohnSmith Texture Pack (v8 and compatible with MC 1.8!)
You're going to need the NEW patcher to get it to work 100%!
There will definitely be broken plugins in multiplayer and some cosmetic issues with chests (you'll want to remove their contents and replace them -- they can show up black, backwards, sideways, even poking through walls, etc.), and we might have a broken economy for awhile, but please hang tight as I slowly but steadily get things in fully working order.
The good news is -- the new version seems to be working and our world (and your creations) appears to be intact, if slightly changed.
What's happening?
An open desktop mic and an early morning =
Last night here in Austin I went out to catch my old friend and musical compatriot, Gumbi Ortiz, in the last night of a 7 week tour with Al DiMeola and his World Sinfonia band. The venue was a first for me, One World Theatre, and it was intimate, if a bit too hot inside. Great view of all the performers though and the sound was good, so I was content enough.
Much to my utter joy today, official news was finally released giving fans a publication date for George R. R. Martin's next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series: July 12th.
I also confirmed this on George's own blog.
