Coming Soon... Very Soon

Apologies for the delay in getting in the new server open, we'd been waiting for a few fixes for 1.11 and they finally arrived today!

We'll be doing the final testing this week and hopefully officially opening next week, well in time for Christmas! Keep an eye on Discord if you'd like an early testing invite later this week.

You'll start to see extra pages with rank details, command info etc appearing here from today. Please bear in mind though that things may well change during testing, for example if a specific feature has an unexpected problem or if a command doesn't work as intended.

For those that asked, voting will be returning, although this may not be available straight away. Feel free to suggest sites that support Votifier, the more the merrier, as they are a great way to attract new players.

See in you in game soon!

DiggyMinecraft Returning Soon!

 It's been almost two years since we closed the Tekkit Classic server and moved to our own custom modpack, DiggyVerse... but DiggyMinecraft is about to return in a new form!

Times have changed and thousands of modpacks are available now with an seemingly endless choice. It was a fantastic experience developing the modpack, I learnt a ton of Java, drastically improved my Gimp/Photoshop skills and ultimately got to create a truly unique modpack that is far beyond what I originally aimed for. I for one will definitely continue playing it in singleplayer, I'd also love to see screenshots of builds etc you guys create with it, so please do send them to me at the usual email address! 

The DiggyVerse modpack will stay around as long as the Technic platform supports MC 1.7.10, hopefully many years to come, and I will continue to support it and provide bug fixes if required.

On to DiggyMinecraft.. 

Over the last few weeks I've been thinking about the future of the server. With so much competition it's difficult to build a decent sized community of regular players, so I've decided to go back to basics.

The server will be kept relatively simple, running the latest vanilla release and using only open source plugins and/or ones that are updated regularly, so we can move to new versions as soon as possible. It will also be as low maintenance as possible so that myself, Diggin etc can actually spend more time playing like we used to. 

We've got some great ideas for the server and are already testing plugins and putting together the ranks, permissions etc. More information will be posted soon! 

Server Closed

Our Tekkit Classic server has now closed.

Thanks once more to everyone who contributed over the last 2 years, we had some real fun times!

Don't forget this isn't the end, the DiggyVerse modpack and server will continue on into 2016!

Server Closing Tomorrow

Just a reminder that the server will closing tomorrow at 9am (UK) tomorrow morning.

The shutdown will be automatic and a lot of maintenance will be running between now and then to tidy things up before the final backup, as this is likely to cause some lag I have reduced the maximum number of players from 30 to 16.

Someone brought to my attention this morning that I had accidentally put the 16th instead of 15th in a couple of places, the 16th being the renewal date for the hosting I had mixed my dates up a little so I apologise if this confused anyone!

Copies of the map/world

A few people have asked if it would be possible for me to make the main world available for download, this issue was raised last year when we reset the map and I can confirm that I will not be doing this. 

The main reason for this decision is that a number of players requested it, not wanting their builds to be made available for other players to copy and take credit for etc. I hope the players that requested a copy of the world can understand this and respect the reasons that some players were against the idea.

Submitting Screenshots

With just a few days to go until the server closes time is running out to submit screenshots of your builds etc to be added to the album, if you've built something impressive on the server then make sure you get those screenshots in asap!

If you've joined DiggyVerse then you can even ask for $250 per image to paid to your DiggyVerse balance rather than your Tekkit Classic balance, don't miss out and help us remember all the awesome stuff we did on this server over the past 2 years!

Transferring To DiggyVerse

Just a reminder that you can transfer your rank and up to $25,000 from Tekkit Classic to DiggyVerse!

You have until 9am (UK) on 15th February to open a support ticket requesting the transfer, after that date you may still be able transfer your rank at our discretion but money can no longer be transferred.

Even if you haven't played on the Tekkit Classic server for a long time and your data has been reset you can still get an early promotion to Resident rank and a welcome back bonus of $5,000 if a member of staff or other trusted player remembers you!
