Welcome!
Ultimate Minecraft is a medium sized yet busy freebuild minecraft community. We run the awesome bukkit server mod with a large list of plugins that provide us with area ownership, economy and anti-grief, as well as new commands and features. We also have a team of active moderators and admins, who are in game regurlarly to assist. We offer gameplay that is a mix of vanilla Minecraft survival with traditional SMP freebuild mechanics. We do offer a minimal PVP experience by way of designated map areas, although for the most part Ultimate Minecraft is non-pvp. More detail about our server can be found on our info page here.
Our server is currently greylisted. This means that new players are restricted to building in a seperate world for visitors imaginatively called “The Guest World”. Play for a while, and if you like the server then apply using the link to the top right to be promoted to member and get access to the entire world! In the unlikely event you find yourself not enjoying Ultimate Minecraft, you haven’t wasted any time signing up for a whitelist. It’s the best of both worlds, while keeping quick and efficient for all involved.
Our server has recently moved to a brand new world ready for the new year, so the sooner you join us, the better your chances of finding your dream location on our game world!
Any questions? Check out our FAQ by clicking here. Information on how to appeal a ban, if you happen to have been put in that situation, is also available within the FAQ. As well as reading the FAQ, please take a moment to browse our website using the navigation bar at the top of the page for other useful resources.

Connection Issues
Hey all,
As you may be aware there are some intermittent dropouts occuring at this moment in time (roughly 2am GMT). There does not appear to be any problems our side, so we will just have to wait for the problems to be resolved upstream. Hang in there folks, and thanks for being patient!

Community News Salad
Over the past few weeks there’s been a few bits of news not quite meaty enough for a full post of their own, so we’ve decided to roll them up into a more appetising meal of community news. So, without further ado:
Congratulations to Matt_Peters for achieving the rank of Architect! He has shown great promise in his builds so far, and was voted to be the next architect by a large majority. Enjoy your new powers Matt!
Long time member Ltrain01 is organising a rather ambitious event – an in-game competition reminiscent of the books (and now film) of the Hunger Games series. No definite date or time has been decided now, but there are still free spaces for people who would like to participate in a PvP-Survival-FreeForAll fight to the death! To show your interest and find out more, check out his forum topic here.
Another active community member Doobomb is looking to start up the first player-ran charity in game, UMCC. He’s looking for volunteers, donations and ideas to help him help new players get settled into the world of Ultimate Minecraft. If you think you’d be interested, join in the discussion on our forums!
Away from Minecraft, a small brigade of our community is venturing out into the free online MMO Realm Of The Mad God. If anybody plays, or would like to start playing, and get together with other UMC members, consider joining the UMC guild!
Finally, one of our ever-helpful VIPs, xLRDxRevengex, has posted a handy tutorial complete with screenshots on how to use Imgur to host pictures to use in forum topics to show off the things you’ve done in game.
So, as always, thanks for being Ultimate Minecrafters, and keep up the good work!

Hello all,
The main server is finally back to it’s normal address and is fully up-to-date. A few features are currently disabled or not working correctly due to incompatibilities with the latest Minecraft version, but these should be back within the next few days.

I Tried to Make an April Fools Joke, But All I Got Was 1.2.5
Hi all,
We were hoping to push an update out this weekend, conveniently enough in time for some April 1st antics. However, with the news of the 1.2.5 release upon us, it seems that Mojang are putting a stop to this. On the up-side, 1.2.5 fixes a couple annoying bugs without adding much in the way of new features, so we should be set for a faster turnaround on the modding side. What’s included in 1.2.5?
- Added shift clicking support in furnaces
- Added method to easily acquire blocks you have selected in the world in Creative mode using the ‘pick block’ key
- Added new crafting recipe to create gold bars
- Made the Direct Connect dialog remember the last IP for the current session
- Fixed issues detected certain links in chat
- Fixed wild ocelots behaving like tamed cats
- Fixed various chat crashes
- Made cats less eager to sit on things
- Made cats less patient
- Fixed world generation failing under certain circumstances
- Fixed issues turning off sound under certain circumstances
- Removed all ghost entities under the command of Lord Herobrine
- Fixed crash when pasting certain characters in chat
- Fixed slash ‘/’ key not behaving correctly in certain environments
- Fixed command matching being too greedy (for example: typing ‘/stophammertime’ no longer stops your server)
- Fixed not being able to click coloured links
- Fixed potential issue with village door detection (which could cause too many villagers)
- Made using a stack of bowls on Mooshrooms not consume the whole stack of bowls
- Made punching a TNT block with flint and steel in hand destroy and drop a TNT block (right-clicking will activate the TNT)
- Confirmed sequel to Anchorman
You can get the pre-release version from Mojang’s website, but be warned that the server will not be running this version until it becomes official, so you won’t be able to connect with these downloads.
Stay classy UMC

1.2 Temp Server – 1.1 Still Up!
Hey guys,
A few people have asked for a 1.2 temp server so it has been put up! The server addresses are the following:
1.1 is on ultimateminecraft.net:25569
1.2.4 is on ultimateminecraft.net
If you want to downgrade to get back on the 1.1 server after you hopes and dreams of Bukkit and plugins being stable were crushed, here is a tool that should do the trick: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/800346-tool-mcnostalgia-210-now-works-with-123-fixed-downgrading-to-10/
UPDATE: The temporary server is now running 1.2.4

Sauerbraten Please, Hold the Cabbage
Our Sauerbraten server is now setup to run (almost) 24/7 so you can drop in with friends at any time! For those of you who don’t know – Sauerbraten, aka Cube 2, is a free, open source FPS that is similar to old school shooters such as Quake. The server is open to all players, but is not listed on the public server list in-game due to issues with modded game modes and the like. To connect to the server, you will need to use the following command in game:
/connect ultimateminecraft.net
There is no password, and if anybody would like access to ‘master’ (which will allow you to force change maps and gamemode, among other things) please contact an admin. We are currently looking at making improvements to the server, such as implementing chat link via IRC and enabling new features such as Zombie mode. More news on these as we get it!
See you there!

Minecraft 1.2
Yes, it’s that time again already. As usual, you should avoid upgrading, or at least keep a copy of your .minecraft folder safe. With Bukkit now working for Mojang, let’s hope that this update is the fastest one we’ve ever seen!
No ETA on when the server will switch yet. We’ll update this post with any news as it comes.
Update: A temp server for 1.2.3 is now running on ultimateminecraft.net:25565

Big Changes Coming to Minecraft
Earlier today it was announced by Mojang that the developers of Bukkit, the hugely successful server modding platform for Minecraft, are officially becoming part of the Minecraft development team! While Jeb will remain the lead developer of Minecraft, the Bukkit team have been drafted in to finally begin creation of official modding APIs – beginning with a server API, and then branching out into the world of client modding.
What does this mean for you and I? It will take time – but eventually this should mean much better support for client mods in multiplayer, as well as less conflicts between these mods. With a standardised server API, the number of plugin choices for server owners should grow even further, as people join together to focus on one platform, rather than fight over their respective favourite implementations.
Congratulations from the Ultimate Minecraft administration on your new positions, Bukkit team members!
For more information, check the official announcement from Mojang here, and the corresponding Bukkit post here.
