Hello Nessies, for some of you this may come as a shock, and to others it was simply a matter of time, but NessCraft will soon be closing down. The first NessCraft server held an excellent community and was what fueled our motivation to work on the server, and while there have been some wonderful players since then, the second installment of NessCraft has not been enough to keep people interested. It is too exhausting and futile to put so much hard work in for the sake of such a small player base, and ever since the EULA was introduced by Mojang, Mess and I have been running the server bills from our own pockets due to lack of donations.
Some of you have been with us since our opening almost two years ago now, and while many of these players have gone on to become staff here, I am convinced that they will agree with our hard decision. We would like to thank all the players who have supported our hard work over the past two years, and wish the best of luck to players who may still call Ness their home, as I do.
As with the last closing of the server, the world map will be available for download soon should you wish to continue with your efforts in single player, or on your own private server with friends. The survival world will be available, the spawn and other areas, being in different worlds, will not.
Again, thank you all for your support over the years, NessCraft has meant so much to me, and to all of us, and I can honestly say I have never worked on anything so hard in my life, but this is why we must close, as the fruits of our efforts simply aren't enough. Goodbye Nessies, we hope you will remember all the great memories you've shared here, I know I will!
NessCraft is finally updated to 1.8! Please be aware though, there are 1.8 features that are not enabled and that there might be some bugs. Feel free to report any if you find them to the staff team.
Here is a list of the most important changes:
-Added new 1.8 blocks: andesite, diorite, granite, prismarine, new doors, fences, gates, banners.
-A town system is being worked on
-1.8 blocks will be added to admin shops soon
-We have a 1.8 new world that will become the main in a couple of months: it is small due to technical reasons (1k radius) so please share! We will increase it as soon as possible
-New donation perks will be added to the shop soon
-Improved voting rewards: vote to find out what's new!
Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the new features~

You are probably aware that the server has been down for a couple of hours, while I performed some maintenance work. Right now, the domain nesscraft.com is not working temporarily.
It will work in roughly 20 hours, maybe less. For now, if you wish to connect to the server you have to use this numeric IP:176.9.10.141.
Hello Nessies, as you may know, with the EULA came some big updates, but we are now unable to offer perks and commands for donations. So what have we done about this?
You can now gain commands, perks and items through completing achievements on the server!
You can find a guide on what each achievement is, and the rewards here: http://bit.ly/1uvt6a0
As some of you may know, Mojang's EULA went into effect on August 1st. This is why our donation store has been down, in order for us to update our donations to comply with the EULA. The bottom line is, only cosmetic items (items for looks and appearances) and perks are now allowed to be sold on servers by law.
So what does this mean for you?
All ranks are now permanent. Any rank you buy will take the price off the following rank.
For example, Ruby is $40, and Premium is $80. If you buy Ruby, you will only have to pay another $40 to upgrade to Premium! All current Premium donors still have all the perks they paid for, as well as new features. New Premium buyers however will only receive current features.
All players now have access to /back. The perks of Amber, Sapphire and Ruby have been completely rewritten - each rank now includes cosmetics such as pets and particle effects! Pets are not only good companions... but ride-able and wearable too! Go to our store at http://nessie.buycraft.net to read the new features in detail!
Thank you for your patience Nessies, while we installed these new features, and have fun!
Hello Nessies, from tomorrow night 10pm EST until Thursday, NessCraft will be undergoing maintenance to fix a number of corrupted chunks in the world causing server lag. After this maintenance you should be able to enjoy a more stable experience. Thank you for your understanding, you could take this opportunity to walk your dog, realise your life ambitions or go outside and see something non-gamers call "the sun".
We apologise for the inconvenience and we will see you soon!
Hey Nessies! Thank you for waiting patiently. The maintenance is finally over and you can now log on as usual in a new host that we hope will improve your playing experience. Should you notice any bugs, or problems, don't hesitate to contact Mess or Sharyat.
I am happy to announce that the chairs plugin is back as well! Right click a stair block to sit on it, and use shift to stand up. We look forward to seeing you back in game. Have fun!
As you may have heard, or maybe not - NessCraft is transferring to a new host, which will (hopefully!) provide a better performance and connection.
This process will take around 1/2 days depending on the speed of files transfer and during this time server will be whitelisted/offline and not available - Sorry about that! I will do my best to reduce the downtime.
I will let you know in here when the server is back up. Ness will be closed from 00:00 (EST) tonight, 7th June, until the file transfer is completed.
Some of you may question: 'Will I lose my buildings? Will the world reset?' and the answer is no, you won't lose any items, buildings, currency or stats over it, so don't be afraid.
I am looking forward to see you all soon, have fun!
It was a pleasure being able to participate in playing on such an extrordinary server. I will never forget it, nor will I the players. It was a great run guys, thanks you all for a great couple years!
Does anyone know how many blocks need to be in between each bunch of dark oak saplings in order for them to all grow? I'm having some trouble with the spacing :$ Thanks!
