Server Announcements

There are a couple of announcements that our illustrious owner H1 would like to let you all know.

First, a message from PaperSpigot regarding Minecraft’s 1.14.4 Update:

MC 1.14 was a mess at launch. While Mojang has continued to try and improve the situation, the release remains problematic. A considerable amount of time and effort on our end has been spent investigating and attempting to fix some of the more egregious performance issues and general game bugs. In spite of this, there remains a significant amount of work to be done on the performance front.

Mojang has stated that they are aware of these issues and are looking to fix them in the next release of Minecraft (1.15). While there have been rumors of a potential 1.14.5 update, based on previous updates and the scale of work to be done, it seems unlikely that, if it’s released, it will solve any of the most critical issues in the 1.14 release.

There is encouraging work underway within the community to resolve some of the worst issues however it seems unlikely that MC 1.14.4 will ever perform as well as previous releases of the game. We will continue to work towards that goal however."

And a second message from H1 himself regarding miniature pets:

“We have new miniature pets added to the store. With more being added to the vote store this week as well.”


Survival

Even though Fruitlympics is behind us for another year, a lot has been happening on the Survival server.

Staff Updates

After the large amount of staff promotions last week we’ve still got some more updates this week.

Firstly the wonderful LifeOfBlu has become a full mod, BorisOZ’s hard work earned the + to his Mod status, and lastly the lovely SouthernMama717 became an Admin. Remember to say hello to all of our friendly staff on the server.

Unfortunately, in all the excitement we missed saying goodbye to some of our staff members in the last few weeks. Apocalypsing, NotZeus, KawaiiChan313 and Camz98 all have left the team, but we are grateful for the good times and memories that they gave us.

Our Staff Squad is currently on the hunt for Event-Coordinators, Builders and Moderators! So if you’re interested in applyingfollow this link!

Prison

We’ve had some staff promotions on the Prison Server. Jaaah is now a full moderator, Opalz has been promoted to Admin and Spleggeti is now an Admin+. Make sure you congratulate all of our staff on the hard work they do.

The events on our regular Tuesday night were very enjoyable. We started out with a few rounds of the obstacle course, which Netzaltali, Brenden__ and Chiken_1 won. After which we moved on to the fast paced game of Spleef. Congratulations to Chicken_1, Netzaltali, Spleggeti and ExpressoYourself who snatched the victories.

Once we had enough of putting each other into lava, we decided to throw each other off a cliff in King of the Hill. The kings and queens were Catmando468, Opalz and Netzaltali. To finish our long night we played a couple rounds of our new game, Hide and Seek. Netzaltali, Supermate_ and Peala were the best sleuths.

On Thursday we decided to play some more games, starting with Mob Arena. ExpressoYourself and Supermate_ won round 1 whilst the second round was taken by ExpressoYourself and biller1. To finish off we went back to some spleefing in which Supermate_ and ExpressoYourself were victorious.

Join us next week on Tuesday at 8pm for our regularly scheduled events.
