Shop Changes

To address the concerns of a number of players I've made some further tweaks to the items available and prices in the shop.

While I realise this may frustrate a small number of players in the short term, most seem to understand the need to balance the economy for the long-term good of the server.

It's vital that the sell prices for different items/blocks are balanced to encourage a diverse range of activities in game, and obviously if something is upsetting that balance it needs to be addressed. 

It's also not always possible to foresee how players will use features and sometimes things are overlooked or don't work as expected, so although we'd love to get everything right first time it's simply not possible.

We've made huge progress in getting things balanced over the last few weeks and I'd like to thank everyone that's contributed by pointing out and reporting potential issues. Hopefully this will be last significant pricing change we need to make.

Loot Crates Updated

I've made some changes to the loot crates at spawn...


As some people had already noticed I changed the Legendary crate to be an Ender Chest.

I've also tweaked the loot based on feedback. The Common & Uncommon crates have had some slightly better items added, Anvils have moved from Legendary to Rare and the Rare crate now includes a Shulker Shell.

In addition "spin time", the time taken to get your prize, has been reduced by 60% to make it less tedious to use multiple keys (such as when you rankup).

Enjoy!

Spawn Village

As you may have noticed I've been adding fun little features to spawn village!

At the bakery you can now sell eggs & sugar...


...and also buy everyone online a cake once per day for $20!


At the blacksmiths you can trade two old very damaged anvils 
for one brand new one, saving you a ton of iron!

If anyone has suggestions for other things they'd like to see in the village etc then drop a message by e-mail, via discord, or using in game mail.

Enjoy!

Modded Client 1.0.5 Released

Anyone into building complex structures etc is going to love this update!

I've added 2 new mods, Schematica and LunatriusCore, and for those who haven't come across them before I'll briefly explain what they do...

Basically they allow you to create a schematic of a build, any size or shape, and then view a ghost version of it in game to make recreating it a breeze (just place real blocks where the ghost ones are). 

The mods functions are purely client side so it doesn't impact on server performance at all and the ghost build is only visible to you. You can rotate, flip, move it any direction you want etc, allowing you to also tryout different locations and layouts before placing a single block! 

If you'd like to know more about it then check out this video...


...it's a little outdated so the button layout is different, but it covers everything you need to know.

Enjoy!

Shop & Fly Fixes

I updated the Shop plugin today, the update included the following fixes:
  • Named item's now keep their name when sold/bought via player auction.
  • Enchantments are now kept when items are sold/bought via player auction.
  • Fixed bank status scoreboard getting stuck on occasionally.
I also changed the way /fly is handled when purchased at spawn, the timer should now be much more reliable and not affected in any way by disconnecting etc.

Enjoy!

MC 1.11.2 Has Arrived!

I'm very pleased to announce that the server has been updated to MC 1.11.2!

Version 1.0.4 of the official modded client has also been released, which simply updates Forge to be 1.11.2 compatible.

Please note, if you experience issues/crashes after updating the official modded client you should delete it from the launcher and reinstall it (being sure to back up single player worlds etc first) as they can develop strange issues when modpacks change MC versions.

Enjoy!
