Throughout today we'll be randomly placing gold chests in the protected area around spawn and each chest will contain a 'prize' for the first person to find it, here's the details...
The gold chests will be within the protected area, so within about 200m of the main spawn building.
The gold chests will be locked using Lockette (locked by either by DiggyWig or DigginChickin) with a number underneath the name.
The first player to 'call out' both the name and number on the Lockette sign gets whatever is inside the chest.
Once the name & number has been called, DiggyWig or DigginChickin will tp to you to break the sign so you can claim your loot!
So as an example you find gold chest locked with a sign with this written on it:
[private]
DiggyWig
3736475
To claim the chest you need to 'call out' this in chat: "DiggyWig 3736475"
Prizes will range from cocoa beans and eggs (it is easter after all!) to enchanted armour and red matter!
Their will be a server announcement when new chests have been placed!
Happy Hunting!

Connection Issue Last Night
As many of you will know the server was unavailable for several hours last night due to a connectivity issue, the server was up but players we're unable to connect.
Connections to the server are now working again and the hosting company is looking into the cause, which appears to be connected to the other shorter network drop-outs we've experienced over the last few days.
Hopefully we won't be having these issues much longer!
EDIT: 11:25 - The hosting company has tweaked some network configurations which will hopefully resolve the issue, however only time will tell, fingers crossed!

PVP Arena
By popular demand we now have a PVP Arena just over the bridge from spawn!
PVP is still disabled everywhere else on the server so those players that are not interested in PVP don't need to worry, nothing changes for you as PVP can only take place within the main floor area of the arena.
I've also put some basic rules up in the arena, the main points being that it is used at a players own risk (we will not replace items lost in the arena) and that players should not interfere with other players battles (if done deliberately this may be considered griefing).
Finally, I have now partly enabled Balkon's Weapon Mod. Although it's throwing & shooting weapons are still disabled (they can bypass region level PVP settings) the following items can now be crafted and used:
Knives, Battleaxes, Halberds & Flails.
Thanks to DigginChickin, braycore & Go_Magic2 for their help in designing and building the arena!
Enjoy!

Iron Shovel Bug Fixed!
After an inspired moment and digging around in various mod related files I finally managed to pin down the causes of the Iron Shovel bug!
Fixing it completely involved several configuration changes to two of the mods included with Tekkit, which have now been implemented and tested. The changes do not noticeably affect the functionality of any other items and should not create any additional problems. The nature of the fix means that this problem should not re-occur at all in future.
Enjoy!
