Server Update: 8/9/17

Posted on September 8, 2017 by admin

Well, here we go again; a brief overview of everything we’ve done in the past couple of weeks:

What we’ve done:

  • Fixed /sort
    Supporter, VIP and VIP+ members can now use /sort to sort their inventories and chests once again. Unfortunately this doesn’t work on shulker boxes yet.
  • Corrected some permissions issues affecting Modreq (/report) on Creative and PureSurvival
  • Cleaned up our block logging database.
  • Parkour!
    Yes, theres now a parkour course in the hub, which was built by our wonderful build team.
  • And, of course, we’ve seen the return of regular build contests – starting with the scaled up contest. We’ve also started to offer world downloads for the build contests – these will be posted with the contest results. You can see the upcoming contests at any time by visiting the contests page on our website

What we’re still working on:

  • The scavenger hunt, which opens in a few weeks time, is currently being setup. xLilly and Kori are leading on this, and are bringing some interesting new features to it.
    Many players enjoyed the scavenger hunts we originally ran, and this new one is both bigger and better. (and harder to cheat on). Keep an eye on the forums and in game announcements for more information.
  • The website guides. We’ve now got a homepage for the guides section, which you can see hereĀ 
    This page is still work in progress, as are most of the individual guides. Please bare this in mind as some information may be incorrect.
  • We’ve started planning for a new /warp examples, which will cover a range of building themes not just the modern style we currently have.
  • Changes were made to how our JVMs handle garbage collection, the aim to be to keep the TPS more stable. For those who didn’t understand that first sentence, work is being done to reduce overall lag on the network, with the main focus being on the survival server.

As always, we welcome your suggestions, comments or any issues you wish to raise, on our forums.
