- Fishing rod enchantments!
- Maps!
- Put them in an item frame and hang them on your wall. They’re extra big!
- Lots of new colours for lots of blocks!
- Now with less lag!
It’s going to be very exciting to update our main server to 1.7 so we can explore these new features. I can’t wait to add beautiful new gardens to all my builds! However, as most of you know, we have to wait for Bukkit to update before we can update the main Massively@jokaydia Server. It will likely be a week or two until there is a stable version, so please be patient! I will post on the guild site when I know more.
However, the good news is, while you’re waiting you can go and check out all the new features in 1.7 on our Test Server. The IP Address is: 173.208.218.2. The usual rules apply – No Griefing, No Swearing (cursing) and be kind to each other at all times. Just like our main server, our test server is Whitelisted and only Massively members can join it.
Some Notes on Updating
- To play 1.7 you’ll need to let your Minecraft client software from Mojang update. This should happen automatically.
- If you want to play on the main server in 1.6.4 you can still do so – simply setup a new profile and select 1.6.4 as the version you wish to use. When you want to play on the main server switch to that profile. See image below for an explanation!
We have not been able to log on. Help please!
I cant connect to the test server. Is there anything going wrong?
Is the test server only run on your computer jo or at a database center?
Looks cool!
i don’t have the test server because i like bukkit servers better
guise
Could you find out if there’s something restricting overseas users? (I.E; U.K, U.S, EU) As I can’t log on and apparently some other share this problem :(
I can’t seem to log on?
The vanilla version of 1.7 is a bit buggy and has crashed a few times. I suspect that’s why some of you are having trouble logging in. It’s been restarted and everything seems to be working fine now and you all should be able to login! Don’t forget to set the right version of Minecraft in your client as per the picture above!
What is the name for the test sever because you need a name to it!
When will the server be on 1.7.4 because its really amazing and you can press someones name in the chat to whisper to them.
it says cant resolve host name
I have 1.7.4 does that mean we cannot use this yet?
Hi @1234zach123! You should be able to use the 1.7.4 client to login to the Massively server even tho we’re running 1.7.2.
I’ve checked the whitelist, and you are definitely whitelisted with the username 1234zach123 .. so i suspect we’ve got your username slightly wrong and thats why you cant login. When you’re ingame playing on other servers.. what name shows above your minecraft avatars head?
So he says it is 12345zach123. Looks like we missed the 5.
AH-HA.. that would be it! ;) I’ll update the whitelist so you can login to play! Seeya in the mines soon!
I was able to get on but now I can’t h, help please
