Server Announcements

First up we have an announcement from H1N9 and our Dev’s!!

Massive work has been done this week to update and improve the servers running 1.14. We have got a totally new box for Skyblock, Prison and Creative to run on. This will massively improve the performance for survival which has been having issues. This now means that we can fix bugs and roll out heaps of new features that we have been saving up.

/pets - The original pets have returned and are now available for purchase in the store (Survival and Skyblock)

/pip toggle - Allows you to turn off the inventory full notification (Prison)

/perks - Now only displays the perks that you have (Survival and Skyblock)

New furnaces, barrels can be locked with signs (Survival)

/sparklegun select - Particles now working again (Survival and Skyblock)

Fruit Trees - Fixed bugs with Fruit that does not disappear and added larger radius needed for them to grow (Survival)

This week we will be adding a plot system to Prison and improved island roles for Skyblock.

Events

We managed to get through four events this week!

Surprisingly, Bingo didn’t make it into the top three, so we played it anyway. It is everyone’s favourite, after all. We managed to get through four quick rounds, with our lucky winners being ByZack, ScyTheSlayer, RebornIV, and jcdie.

Next up, we had Thunderdome. Things were a bit hotter than usual, but those that ducked and dodged their way to victory were ByZack, Bayleecraft, IWin, PotatoJacket, and Kaskade_King. Good work!

We felt our through the Maze after Thunderdome and were quite surprised by how fast it was completed! Congratulations to those that found their way out of it first: IWin, BTHMMIV, ByZack, jcdie, and FBG_Vashta.

And lastly, we played a few quick rounds of Corners. Our luckiest dancers this week were kutasurf97, Comrade_Ina, and RebornIV. Outstanding effort, guys!

Build Competition

During the most recent competition we received a lot of feedback about how to make the build comp more accessible to everyone, so this months theme is broad…. But also very specific. This month we want you to build us something that shows us your FAVOURITE VIDEO GAME (a shoutout to Dusked_ for this epic theme suggestion)!!! As per usual there are some rules you need to follow, so be sure to read them before you begin!!

Make sure that you submit your builds on the forum post - If we do not recieve at least 5 entries the build competition will be canceled!

If you have suggestions for themes for future build competitions, please let us know in this forum thread.

Thank you all for reading this weeks post! We will be back here in two weeks time with all of the servers goings ons!!
