The Mining World is now open! Visit by holding an Enderpearl and stepping into a Nether portal. It is where you can create automated mining machines, or just find new places to mine for materials. BuildCraft quarries will likely be enabled (or sold at the marketplace) shortly. If worse comes to worst and you get stranded in the mining world, you can go to spawn's coordinates in the mining world to find a portal back. Don't die in the Mining World. Your items appear at the main world's spawn(!). Due to unrelated changes, the server may now either perform better or worse. There is a pending client update within the next few days (possibly within the next 24 hours).
