Fruitlympics Finale!
Written by Lagoonaa

Hey, hi, hello, welcome friends! We have lots and lots to get through this week as many exciting things have been changing and happening so why wait? Lets jump right into it!


But first.. A message from our sponsors (aka H1N9)

1.13 is expected to arrive this week. It represents the single biggest update to Minecraft ever and has more changes in it than 1.8 - 1.12 updates combined. This means that updating the server is going to be a considerable challenge and it will take time and there will be bugs, lag and things not working. We will most definitely not be updating on the day of its release. We must wait for Spigot to update first and then the applicable plugins. No plugins that run on 1.12 will run on 1.13 which means that everything must be updated. This is unlike previous updates where we have been able to Fuse plugins that have not been updated in years. Geek will be hard at work updating most of our custom stuff.

It is also unsure at this stage if it will be possible to allow 1.13 clients to join the server while we wait for things to be ready to update. Nearly nothing appears backwards compatible with this update at all. I don't have any ETA or further info on when we will update the server. So if you would like to continue to play please make sure you know how to change Minecraft versions in your launcher.

H1N9 Message:

I would like to put a massive thank you out to everyone who helped organise the Fruitlympics this year. There are months of planning that go into organising these events for everyone to join in and participate and this is even before you get onto the difficult part of actually running them. Things went amazingly smoothly and it was fantastic that so many of your Fruitsters came and participated in an event over the course of the week.

Survival

Staff Updates:

This week our staff roster has been quiet, maybe Goldsta has been too busy training for the fruitlympics, or maybe not, ask him yourself.  However we are still looking for more staff! Head on over to https://www.fruitservers.net/staff if you want to join the survival team.

Selfie of the Week:

It seems that our staff were a little bit bloodthirsty tonight... Congratulations ThinkGeek_!

Build Competition:

Hello everyone, It's me Ravioli again! I would first like to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in June's build comp, we had many people interested and ending up with 8 complete entries! For entering this contest you get a special item on the server of your choice, I will be in contact with you soon to organize it! Because of the success of this months event we have decided to host another build competition this month! The theme is Gardens! Whether it has Asian inspirations or if it is a magical fairy garden, we want to see you guys bring the best out of nature! Once again this competition will have size specifics but this time we are also asking that you feature a bridge in it!

Competiton Rules:

  • The garden must fit in a 90x90 plot, to assist you with staying within these boundaries, we suggest creating a border to work within.
  • The garden MUST feature some sort of bridge.
  • Build must be completed by July 30th 8pm AEST.
  • You must work alone, if you do not you will be disqualified.
  • All entries must be built on the creative server.
  • As cool as pixel art is, this isn’t the place for it.
  • Don’t copy other people's work, whether it be from in or outside of the server. BE ORIGINAL!
  • We need at LEAST 5 people to participate to hand out prizes, so spread the word!
  • This build needs to have been started and completed within the month of July.
  • Completed entries that don’t place in the top 3 spots net the builder a token on the server of their choice.

That's it for this week everyone! Have fun!
