Chibi

Chibi with his weapon of choice.

The administrator of the Minecraft server and the Dwarven Transit Authority. If you see someone talking to you via the server console, chances are it's probably Chibi. Contributions include:

Tools of the Trade

Sometimes, it helps to have a little bit more to work with than your trusty pickaxe. It is dangerous to go it alone, so consider taking some of these tools with you.

  • WMLL: “What's My Light Level” is a client-side mod that displays the same information as the F3 screen, but it presents it in an unobtrusive, yet always-visible, manner. The coordinate display takes the guesswork out of large builds, and the light level display warns you if the block you're standing on is under-lit. Under-lit constructions are a deconstruction waiting to happen. WMLL is recommended for all players.
  • pymclevel is a must-have for anyone with their own Minecraft world, either single-player or multiplayer. It is capable of performing basic level-editing functions, and it has helped the server weather the Snowpocalypse… three times! It runs on the command-line, so we can edit the world when it's still on the server.
  • schematic2blueprint: Have something cool in a single-player world? Want to replicate it on the server? Use the export command in pymclevel to save it as a schematic, and open it in schematic2blueprint. This program will perform a CAT scan of your schematic, presenting you with one image for each level of height.
  • rdiff-backup is an incremental backup tool that allows us to keep lots and lots of old versions of the world on the server. Save early and save often. This is a must-have for administrators everywhere.
  • pigmap produces the world's web maps. It is not the most full-featured mapper, but it's fast.
