Alo peoplez!
Well not really news if you've been paying attention to the forum, but ever since the Monthly Mod Flavors have been retired from Little Brother, it is customary to have it feature Minecraft snapshots instead. And now that Minecraft 1.9 is officially out, we're having it as the permanent "mod" on Little Brother from now on.. or at least till the next batch of Vanilla snapshots arrive. ^^
Note that it is still technically a test server so don't get overly attached to creations in it as Little Brother is not actively as supported or backed-up as Big Sister; and since there is no Forge for Minecraft 1.9, its Dynmap is currently disabled. However, unlike with the Mod Flavors, you're bound to have a MUCH more consistent experience playing here on this semi-permanent Vanilla server. If you need a taste of modern Minecraft, a break from the hustle and bustle of Big Sis, or just want a little peace and quiet, Little Brother will always be here to serve as a kind of "summer cottage" for our players. :)
The Little Brother IP can be found on the Guide tab above... there is no need to apply for a separate whitelist if you're already a player on Big Sister. [unless you're new and I forget to whitelist you, in which case remind me on the forum] ^^;
