    • The current Alice is now shutdown (because we need to devote some resources to world pre-generation). The world should hopefully be available for download soon after.
    • We plan to launch the new Alice modpack within the next day (if possible) or the day after (Pacific time).
    • If you are waiting for your application to be accepted, please know that it should be accepted after the new Alice world launches.
    Some of us have been working non-stop for the past week, and we hope you enjoy the new world!

    I don't mind waiting a bit longer just to have larger (than the last time) chunk of the world pre-generated.

    Normally SK stops world at about 10-20k out, also after every reset the world seems to lag with or without it—it's just that the world lags less with pre-gren.

    My question is are you going to drop the launcher for download before or the day of 1.6 launch?

    We will make the launcher available when the update is live. Once pre-gen is done, we'll still need to log in and make sure everything is good to go, then we'll go live.

    Cool, do we have to reapply for the whitelist, or are we already cleared?
    also, will a link to the launcher be in the same post as the all-clear announcement?

    Were you guys able to fix chunk loaders? I remember someone saying you were waiting for the update to get that done.

    As always, you will not have to re-apply. The launcher link will be distributed when we launch via the forums and an announcement in the old launcher.

    The white list will not change with 1.6. The release will be posted on the main page with launcher download instructions. Chunk loading will be provided by ChickenChunks. There will be a 34 chunk maximum per player.

    IIRC, the chunkloading feature of quarries is just straight disabled and will be handled by ChickenChunks

    The Quarry loads it's chunks by itself. I have no idea where you got that info.

    Old outdated stuff in my brain I guess. Was it always like that? Coulda sworn you needed a chunkloader for quarries on the server. I wasn't saying by default if that's what you mean.

    Long time ago. For a while now they've loaded chunks themselves.
