Evening!

The hardware running our server has been fairly untouched for quite some time. So we have decided to find replacement hardware to fully allow us to keep the community and server ready for future updates. However, this requires the server to be unavailable for some time while we move everything from databases to server files.

Live update:
Server has stopped: 1:05: PM GMT+2 (13:05 CEST)
Server has started: 4:04 PM GMT+2 (16:04 CEST)

Date of migration:
Saturday, 21st of September, 11 AM GMT+2 (11:00 CEST).
Expect a total downtime up to 6 hours.

New hardware:

• 2x Intel Xeon E5-2420 v2 Six-Core CPU (12 physical cores in total)
• 48 GB ECC RAM
• 2x 480GB SSD dedicated for Minecraft

We are now able to fully support the recent version of Minecraft, 1.14.4 which is part of the new Minecraft 1.14: Village & Pillage update!
As with all major updates, expect some updates in the near future for better stability and bug fixes

Resource world
There are a new Resource world and a new Resource nether to discover.
Portals can be found at the Hub!

Ride and control mobs
Apart from the update, there is also a hidden gem for each rank in-game.
Each rank are now able to ride and control mobs! Simply right-click on a mob to ride it.

Greetings dear friends,

As of this month our server official turns 8 years old! Furthermore, this month also celebrates Minecraft's 10 year anniversary as well. Our 1.13 world is roughly 8-9 months old and our 1.9 world has just turned 3 years old. Sadly we will have to be saying goodbye to our 1.9 world at the end of this month just as we said goodbye not too long ago to our 1.7 world, our longest world at 5 years within the server.

The server has hit some rocky times yet through the determination of its community it has continued to strive forth and breed new life in and outside of the game of Minecraft. Our players have set out in search of new adventures within the world of 1.13, bringing with them old memories, continued projects, and the hope for a new start in virgin lands. Our Discord server is still lively and has seem to be our most active space outside of the game, especially now that we've been able to integrate both of them together. While many of our older...

Hey IcicleCrafters!

After just celebrating its third birthday, it is time to say goodbye to another world. The 1.9 World is set for closure on May 31st. 2019.
This means you have a little over two months to get a member of staff to move your buildings to the 1.13 world. Depending on size we can move up to 5 buildings, but it is solely up to staff on how much can be moved. The space we save on the server will be used for expansion of the end, the nether and the resourceworld.

We will again ask you to contact your friends who might've played here, but is now taking a break, so this doesn't fly over their heads and they come back to nothing.

As we did for 1.7 the world will also be available for download, so stay tuned!

Sincerely
IcicleCraft Staff

The server is currently down due to a network outage at the provider. The storm, Alfrida hit Sweden recently and have caused power failures.

Field technicians have been informed look into the issue and we will update the thread once we have more information!

• Update 1: Expected to be fixed latest 2019-01-08 5 PM CET (17:00)
• Update 2: We are now alive, 2019-01-08 6:58 AM CET (06:58)

The staff members of IcicleCraft wishes everyone a great Happy New Year!

The wind continued its relentless assault in a grand campaign to wreak havoc across the dying lands, disturbing the dead trees nearby into an unearthly weaving as the air screamed in agony through their hollow trunks. Aided by flurries of thick snow, the journey ahead was unforgivably blind, with the only consolation of progress being the remnants of footprints. Through the virgin woods and the rocky mountain terrain, the travelers pressed on, for they had no where else to go but forward. Amongst those in this unusual group were battle-hardened veterans, unyielding to the slightest hint of danger but cautious of what was to come: the life-or-death war against Winter. Among their companions however were also a few younglings, unused to the nomadic life cycle every few seasons that their elders had become accustomed to but were willingly eager to seek out the new territory.

As the group of travelers braved onward, their old world began to crumble and would embed itself into the...

Hello dear friends,

Today marks a special anniversary for the 1.7.2 World as it turns 5 years old today. No other world has achieved this feat, nor has any other world ever come close to rivaling it. It is, I would argue, the one world that has the most history of the server contained within, from its humble beginnings in 2013 up to the present day. For many of the current playerbase, the 1.7.2 World is all you've ever known of IC's history along with our two newer worlds that have only recently scratched the surface of the community's rich heritage.

However for those able to recall the youthful endeavor so long ago, that time when the great expanse known as the 1.7 Update filled our hearts with joyous applause and the thoughts of virgin lands appearing once more to be no mere rumor, I wish to take you back in time. The 1.7 world changed the game for the server and the players beyond what could have been foreseen. The old world at that time, 1.3.1, was in a state of decline, with...

It is time to announce the recent changes to the staff team.
We are happy to announce that both @Omio and @Xuqi have been promoted to Super Moderators.

We have all seen a lot of effort from both of them. Helping out in every possible way to keep the community and server running. Special thanks for the huge work behind the *shaky* 1.13 launch! Without the help of @Omio and @Xuqi (and of course everyone else that was behind the release of 1.13) the server would have been unplayable.

... But unfortunately we are also saying goodbye for now to @ZiiimZooon that are leaving the staff team.
We would like to thank you for all the time you have put into our communtiy and server.

Hey peeps!

After reigning as the oldest world on Iciclecraft, the IC Staff has decided that the 1.7.2 world will be removed from the server. This will occur on December 8, 2018, which will be the world's 5th birthday! Also, we plan to consider removing the 1.9 world sometime in early-mid 2019. We kindly ask that you inform other members of the server and begin the process of relocating items, builds, and other necessities to the new 1.13 World in the coming weeks.

Do not fret however, for as promised we will be releasing world files for 1.7.2 as well as previous world files. We will also be working on the creation and expansion of a Memorial World in order to save priceless gems from the many years of Iciclecraft history. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good day.
