Alright, so here’s the thing; Mercury Ice is a forum on which I have met many great friends (in fact, my best friend and I met on there, and now we frequently travel across the country to spend time with one another - she actually left my flat earlier today after staying with me for a few…
I won’t be around much, but the server is back up and running.
Some mods are not yet compatible, so have been disabled:
- Spout
- Heroes
We also have a freebuild world called Hopa which is available via Toria’s warp hub.
Enjoy!
Join our server at:
86.161.110.247
With regard to 1.8:
I would recommend keeping a backup of your 1.7 .minecraft folder (or at least the .minecraft/bin folder) for use with Ilihect until such a time as all mods are confirmed working for 1.8!
We will be doing our best to keep up to date with the latest updates and make everything work as it should, as well as implementing some structural gameplay updates (for example, certain people being able to enter Creative mode).
Due to the accidental pre-release leak of 1.8, we are using the game files to update the server texture packs (as seen when using the Spoutcraft client) so hopefully at least that should be ready to go as soon as 1.8 is released!
Fingers crossed it’s a smooth transition :)
We’re now adopting the Spout server mod, a new version of BukkitContrib.
Thism eans that we will be installing some cool features that are Spout-only, so to see these you will have to use Spoutcraft, a new variation on the Minecraft launcher.
Even without Spout server mods, the launcher is well worth using as it offers many new features such as custom IP naming and saving, multiple accounts and a myriad graphics settings built in, some of which only pertain to Single Player.

Some of the Ilihect Spout mods will include:
- Changing textures based on the season
- Coloured clouds and fog
- Overhead player name changes and health bar
- Capes
- Moon cycles
- Displayable showcase items
NOT switching to the Spoutcraft launcher will not imepede your play experience, but switching to Spoutcraft WILL enchance it.
using the /gme command, players are now allowed to spawn certain items.
2, 4, 12, 17, 35, 89
anything else, you are perfectly capable of finding on your own.
Actually, nobody can spawn items atm.
dinowoman can via the console, but will not.
So yes, items must be collected.
There was a period of gameplay where spawning was allowed by Ilihect as a server is incomplete and unready for full gameplay, which is why spawning was allowed and subsequently phased out.
It will be used for group projects such as the arena and an upcoming idea a small group of us have, but other than that everyone; admins included; will be collecting their own materials.
The thing is; xotame and I have a goal in mind for what Ilihect will be when it’s “ready”; right now you could say we’re in beta. We’re inputting new mods all the time, it’s basically live testing. That’s why we’ve been overhauling the RPG and whatever, and why spawning keeps fluctuating between open and closed.
If you happen to be around when it’s being used, by all means ask for things, but it won’t be like that forever.
The four classes are Fighter, Ranger, Mage and Priest. Each class is given the choice of following a Lawful or Chaotic path.
The Knight: Lawful Fighter; highly talented in both defence and offence with a few healing abilities, he is an all-rounder and a valuable asset to any team.
The Berserker: Chaotic Fighter; wild and untamed, he has unrivaled physical strength and can dominate any opponent.
The Warden: Lawful Ranger; he is the protector of the forest, capable of going where no one else can. He is powerfully in touch with nature and all who travel with him are protected.
The Assassin: Chaotic Ranger; a mysterious walker of the shadows, any one unfortunate enough to fall under his mark will surely be killed without anyone knowing.
The Enchanter: Lawful Mage; few are selected by Ilihect to be able to see the Nora, the flowing life force that powers all magick. The Mage is capable of manipulating the very fabric of space to ensure the efficient and strategic working of his team.
The Sorcerer: Chaotic Mage; corrupted by dark gods and powerful magicks, he is immensely powerful and can strike fear into the hearts of the strongest men at only the utterance of his name. Facing a Sorceror alone is a guaranteed death.
The Cleric: Lawful Priest; the keeper of the Merakim faith, he has devoted his life to worship and protection and is an expert in healing and protection. In a team, a Cleric is irreplaceable.
The Apostate: Chaotic Priest; another corrupted by powerful magicks and evil gods, he is a master of reducing his opponents to their knees with a wave of his hand. Be ever-wary of this character and his dark minions.
Each class has it’s advantages and disadvantages and there is no match for a balanced and supportive team in any situation.
