July Recap
Written by H1N9

Hey Hey Fruitsters Spleggeti here, welcome to the July Monthly Post

From Skyblock absolutely destroying the competition in Fruitlympics, Survival’s massive reset, Pixelmon and Prison Crate Updates and so much more, so let’s get right into the Monthly Post and revisit everything that’s happened this month!

So last month was incredibly busy! A massive thank you to all of the staff who helped with events and the significant number of updates on the server.

1.21 for Creative & Skyblock

Creative and Skyblock have both updated to 1.21 this week. There are some bugs on each server but it is all pretty smooth otherwise. We are still waiting for some key plugins like FruitTrees to be updated.

Store Pricing Changes

At the end of August, we will be changing the prices of some items in our store. No, they won't be going down. The prices haven't changed since Fruit started nearly 10 years ago and there are a significant number of changes to how the servers work these days. So, it could be a good month to stock up on things if you plan to do so!

Hello Prisoners, Here’s all that we have released throughout the months of July on Prison.

Ascension Rewards

Ascension rewards for 1050+ have now been released! Claim them in-game today! Once you achieve Ascension Level 1500, you’ll gain access to a Prestige Key via /milestone rewards, this key can be used to open a Prestige Crate which will give you an insane Boost to help your mining Progression.

Crafting Changes

There's now a total of 70 Custom Craftables available for you to obtain in Prison now. You can see all these items with /crafting-info. This UI will show you all the items broken down into their 5 categories.

There's some new crafts with these items but the team is needing YOUR suggestions to help us bring it to life on the server, Crooksy has created a discord suggestion thread where you can put your suggestions into no matter which server you play for we would appreciate anyone’s suggestion. Find the thread https://shorturl.at/ZjJSZ here.

Cordelia

Some of you have been hunting this mysterious individual. She's completed and ready for you to find her after the Planet 4 release!

Crafting Crate Key

The Crafting Crate key can now be purchased in the /crafting-info menu, the keys are 250 mil each, you can bulk buy these for 16 billion for 64 of them, but be careful! No Refunds if you accidentally bought them.

Block Changes for Mines

We have gone through and completely wiped Cash from the Mines OTHER than Structures. ALL blocks are now only eTokens or Mine Tokens and they have been buffed quite a bit. Since cash has been removed from mines, the main source of cash now will be from Fishing or from Crates.

Hey hey survival, we FINALLY have gotten the tokenshop restored and behaving. We will be working on bringing up the expansion ASAP. As we have two plugins working together to provide the expansion, it will be a little different when buying a tool. As you will notice at /warp token, there are brand new gems. These are applied to your netherite tier tools - given they have an open gem slot. These gems provide boosts to your tools which are active when held. These range from haste, speed and waterbreathing! All available at 5 tokens each.

Onto other news, this wipe has been a bit of a rocky start, as plugins began to suffer from 1.21-itis. Our devs are hard at work looking at fixes, and awaiting on plugin devs to update. Otherwise as things have been smoothing out, we have maintained a steady player count online, which is amazing to see, another notable achievement for the server, is we have reclaimed our #1 spot in Australia! This is single-handedly done by each of you! Every vote counts.

We also have a new plugin made by brekfst! Secretrooms are now functioning as normal, no need to send me screenshots of each room! Simply right click a head when you find a room and move on! Finding all 10 awards you a neat chattag in game! Would you look at that, virtual chests are back up, funnily enough, another new plugin. Any player previously with /v chest now automatically has /chest. We will be adding ways to gain more of these chests in the near future!

Sadly, no eta on the beloved fruit trees. Keep posted for info to come!

We know all of you are parkour geniuses, but how are your parkour building skills?

We are always on the lookout for fresh new parkours for our /warp parkourhub! If you have a keen eye for detail or are watching to watch your fellow Skyblockers suffer through neo jumps - contact an Event C to organise a parkour plot!

We also added some new drops to our Piglin trade pool, including 5 Minute Nether Tokens,

Armour Trims, Netherite Scrap (Legendary Drop) and more! Get your piglin traders up and running to enjoy lots and lots of goodies!

If you have any feedback, please be sure to share them with the staff team or by using #suggestions on Discord!

★Vote Competition★

Last month was a massive one for voting - you guys smashed it! The really exciting thing about smashing it last month is you get to do it again this month. Voting is a really critical part of bringing Fruity new friends to the server, so keep up the work!

Reminder to everyone that votes are tallied up for the post a few hours before the end of the month so sneaking in a couple of votes right at the end may not help. Props to everyone for keeping voting as competitive as it has been, looks like everyone is eager to win themselves a voucher! Keep up the great work everyone, please message a Community-Manager or H1N9 to redeem your voucher this month.

★Top Supporters★

We haven't featured top supporters for quite a while now as we are continuing to develop the backend of our custom store. Your support keeps Fruit Servers running and allows us to keep delivering Fruity new content to the highest standard.

★Top Players★

Now, I know Pudz isn’t on the team anymore, but that doesn’t stop us from acknowledging how much he has committed and provided the server with in not just the past month, but past years of his contributions to the server. Pudz is always there to help staff members and players with their troubles, always there to help implement a new feature to the server as well as help keep the server running smoothly(most of the time when he didn’t break it in the first place). Thank you very much Pudz for all you’ve done for not just Prison but FruitServers as a whole. I appreciate all you’ve given to us and the Team all want to thank you by giving you this final acknowledgement. Congratulations on Staff of the Month for the Final Time <3.

Zuruii has been a wonderful addition to the staff team! From helping out players in game, to picking up staff in a matter of days! Zuruii is always happy to lend a hand to anyone who asks and is always on the ball. Well done zur on staff of the month!

I would also like to add an honorable mention to brekfst as a more personal thankyou. This man is a machine, you lot don't see it, but brek is constantly working behind the scenes on developing plugins, providing the content and plugins we all love today.

You can usually find Gus running and jumping at /warp parkour, if he’s not there Gus is always around answering questions or assisting players. Gus is usually one of the first people to put their hands up to assist with a job, and puts his all into everything that you throw at him. Thank you for all the hard work you constantly put in, Gus!!

Our Skyblock carry, Mystic! Mystic carried Skyblock all the way to our very first solo Skyblock win and if we look behind that, we will see an amazing Event C who puts in a significant amount of effort to ensure events are enjoyable by all by creating new parkours, new maps and most importantly: reminding everyone to have fun! We appreciate everything that you bring to Skyblock, Mystic! Thank you for always being you!

MangoPodzzz, though new to the team, has quickly found his feet and shown remarkable eagerness to learn and a strong work ethic. Handling challenging situations with grace and stepping up when needed, his active presence and willingness to take on responsibilities have been crucial, especially when others needed a break. Mango's commitment and support have been greatly appreciated. Congratulations, Mango!

SugoiSenpai has been a constantly active player throughout their time on Prison. From constantly grinding their way through the Mine Levels, absolutely blitzing the competition with the Chat Games or Participating in events. If you have been on Prison you definately know of the name SugoiSenpai3. They have been an amazing player throughout their time on Prison, always helping players out new and old. Thank you for all your contributions Sugoi and Congratulations on Player of the Month for Prison!

vttl has come onto the scene of survival as a force to be reckoned with! From their engaging chats on discord to helping out in game, vttl is always around as a familiar face! Well done vttl on player of the month!

MackenzieG has been a bright force since she stepped foot onto Skyblock. They are always spotted enjoying events, as well as encouraging other players to participate in activities such as our Crafting Comp and Community Quests.

We love all of the positive energy MackenzieG brings to our big island, congratulations Mack!

Arkpyr0 has shown exceptional friendliness and helpfulness in chat, often assisting players by giving them items and a helping hand when they need it most. Their active participation in events, positive attitude, and engaging presence make them a standout member of our community. Arkpyr0’s dedication to fostering a supportive and welcoming environment is truly commendable. Congratulations, arkpyr0!

Fruitservers is an amazing community because of the people that are a part of it. Every month one player and one staff member from each server are selected and acknowledged for their contribution to the server, whether it be in-game or behind the scenes.
