TESTIFICATE BABBIES!!!!

As you may or may not know, Mojang have been releasing "snapshots" of the version 1.2 they are working on, and Multiplay have recently announced they are supporting snapshots on their servers.

With the announcement of this next big patch, the BOON Control Minecraft server will be coming back online for the next few months. We will be starting up with a brand new map so that we have the new biome types (don't worry, the old map is saved for later as there was a large build on it). Access will be, as always, limited to existing members of the BOON Control guild/community via a whitelist system. Sorry to anyone who wishes to join the server, but due to the popularity of random griefing in Minecraft, we keep our server limited to guild members or long time community members.

For anyone interesting in joining us (if you meet the "long time community member" criteria) then check out our long running server thread here: http://booncontrol.com/threads/minecraft-server-ip.1581/
