I have updated the Minecraft topic at my web site, bringing it up to date with changes, adding many new links, and information about my new world. Also, I didn't previously announce this:

I am running a Minecraft server. I've been running one for a while, but it had a rocky start trying to run on a shared Linode. It now has a dedicated machine (though one which is rather old and running on a home cable connection) and is running 24/7.

The address is: mc.switchb.org

This server runs a copy of my single-player world, updated each day, so changes you make are not persistent (except for your inventory). This is a place to tour, or use for building experiments, not to live in. However, I have attempted to make it suitable for multiplayer use, with direction and instruction signs and multiplayer-capable rail stations (though most of the rail tunnels are single-track).

Feel free to suggest improvements to the facilities, or additional builds.

(Home sweet home.) (Cactus and flower farming.) (Mob tower and access routes.) (Rail hub station.)

(Note for those who have tried the server before: I recently fixed a problem causing new players to spawn nowhere in particular rather than at the spawn station.)
