Quote from King Korihor
While not directly a part of the API itself, I do think it ought to get into the discussions about mods in general and how they apply to Minecraft.
One thing I would love to see added is something like an app store where mod developers can showcase their wares in-game or through an official interface provided by Mojang. It could still be optional for mod developers, but it would allow players of Minecraft to pick and choose among the various mods. Developers could either release for "free" or charge for mods, depending on how popular they are or how much a developer wants to get their mod delivered.
I don't mind if Mojang gets a cut of the action, so it would be a big win for them as well.
This folds into the API discussion as it is only through a formal API system that such a store could really be developed. Downloading and automatically installing various mods can be made much easier with an official API (even though this could be done without an API).
this will be epic

The price is really cheap, but we never got any lag. Even though we live so far away (In Indonesia). The server runs flawlessly.
I would reccomend this to anyone who wants to start a server.

I am looking for a server that :
- Have small - medium sized community (20 - 40 players online)
- Have an active, organized forum
- Have a simple gameplay (not too modified, i prefer real Minecraft feel)
If you have any information, please reply to this post (Please do not PM)
Thanks

what ?

well, to be honest, i know some tricks that can turn it into a money machine...
if you do it "business style", target underage kids (<15), give them special "powers" for paying, make nice GFX for the packages, do promotion (discounts), etc etc
i got arround $600 in the first month of opening the server. but then things started go out of control, the donators are overpowered and it blocks me from adding this and that. For example, quests, i have problem adding that because it will cause imbalance. Donators can fly and finish quest in 5 minutes.
Well, at that time i still have the desire to host a server, and not thinking yet about "what i got back". So i revamped the donation system, no more overpowered donators, but less donations.
I am really confused right now, i have like 100% lost my interest, but i still have the responsibility to host it.
But, i'm not getting anything back and no one an blame me for resigning.
Will selling the server to a trusted person be a good way ?

Started hosting my server 6 months ago. Started out as a small, 8 - 10 players server. I build it up, advertising, making sure everything is right, fixing bugs, choosing staff members, making custom plugins, etc.
I spend lots of my free times maintaining my server.
When the server down, i try to get it backup
I fix bugs when they founded
I make custom plugins for it
I choose my staffs
And basically everything to keep my server enjoyable
6 months i started getting sick of this, i do everything for my server, but i don't get anything back, not even a penny.
Not to mention when there is any problem ppl will throws it on us (admin & staffs).
I mean, i can very easily make the server as "money machine" if i wanted to, but i realized that making that money machine out of someone's game is just immoral.
I really wanted to "resign" from hosting my server, but it has grown to a pretty big server with 25 - 35 players online during peak time, and hundreds of registered users.
No one can blame me for that anyway, i am a voulenteer and i never get paid.
If i resign i will probably join a more "professional" community as i am pretty confident in my administrating skills.
I am really confused right now on what to do.
So, server admins, how do you keep hosting servers ?
If you want to know my server, here is it http://www.kakuscraft.com/

someone gonna call you retarded :/

you are the one who should get warned and reported. basically you were calling every people that do not know what spout is "Retarded"
all of this spout vs bukkit vs mojang vs minecraft vs api is just speculations for now. we do not have the rights to judge before we see the real product.
spout is great, yeh.
But in my opinion people who supported spout seems to be like arrogant. Spout has more features yes, but it doesent make bukkit a failure.
I go on spout forums and bukkit forums and i can see spout fans, and a dev from spout throwing hate at bukkit.
You can be vocal yes, but i do not think it is the right way.
