Update: EHEMS Offline for Maintainance - Now back online

Apologies for any inconvenience caused but the server is currently offline for maintainance. We will update you here when it is back online.

Also, apologies but the monthly meeting will not be running today, due to family illness. Apologies for the short notice.

UPDATE: EHEMS is now back online and should be more stable than before. If you have any problems, please email us at feedback@eheminecraft.co.uk.

Chat Service Update

Following our trial for using a chat service alongside EHEMS, due to lack of interest and alternative, easier, options we shall not be using a chat service for the time being.

Many members have started to use Skype, to talk whilst online, which seems to be working well. If you would like to speak with anyone online, we would remind you to ask your parents for permission first.

Happy Crafting :-)

More Server Issues - Sorted!

Apologies to all for the inconvenience but there seems to be some issues with the VPS server, EHEMS resides on. We are trying to get the server back and will have it back by the morning, at the latest.

Apologies again.

UPDATE: Well, EHEMS is back on! Hopefully for longer this time ;-)

Server Updated to 1.8.3

Well, we've finally gone and done it! The Essex Home Ed Minecraft Server (EHEMS) has been updated from 1.8 to 1.8.3!

What does this mean for you? Hopefully, less bugs and issues (if you were having any) and the ability to use the latest version of Minecraft. For those wanting to know more, info about the changes in this version (and others), can be found here.

Happily, 1.8.3 is backwards compatible, which means, you do not have to update your minecraft version, if you do not wish to. However, if you do want to use the latest version of minecraft, this is now possible on the Essex Home Ed Minecraft Server too.

Our thanks to Mortaxe3, for finally getting us to take the plunge. May his skills and innovation continue to flourish and benefit others, as they already do :-)

Happy Crafting All :-)

Chat Server (Mumble) Trial

For the next two weeks, the Essex Home Ed Minecraft Server (EHEMS) will be running a trial of the gaming chat service Mumble.

To join the EHEMS chat Channel, only after getting your parents permission please, you need to download mumble (from here) and enter the following details:

 

              Server Name: Mumble Server

              Address: EHEMS.mumble.com

              Port: 3701

The password, will be on the public notice board on the server. This can be found at coordinates X:-232, Y:73 Z:141 (your coordinates can be seen by pressing the f3 button, or fn and f3 together, depending on your computer).

Please note, the same rules for EHEMS are also in place for the EHEMS Chat Channel. The rules, along with information about how they were formed, can be found here. However, regarding chat, they are summed up in the following courtesies: 

1. No swearing or name calling.
2. Be as nice to others, as you would like them to be to you.

Anyone that is found to be persistently rude to other users, will be removed from the chat channel and the service will be reviewed.

Having said that, you are all a lovely bunch, so there shouldn't be any problems. We hope you have many lovely times chatting and creating with friends. Please let us know what you think of the chat channel and whether you would like to keep, loose or change it.

At the end of the two week trial, the mumble chat service, and others, will be reviewed (along with feedback received) and a decision will be made about the future of chat on EHEMS.
