A new week means a new post! As we draw closer and closer to the opening ceremony of the Fruitlympics, Survival, Skyblock and Prison are getting their game faces on! We’re looking forward to showing you all the amazing builds and events. Pixelmon was released on Saturday and has been a huge hit! There are so many new features to talk about, so buckle up and let's get into the weekly recap!

Fruit Pixelmon has launched! This server has been a massive effort to bring to life and I would like to thank Goldsta, Benja, Geek and the Builders especially for all of their hard work. Pixelmon is the most complex undertaking Fruit has ever done from a technical standpoint. Unlike Survival, Prison and Skyblock, Pixelmon runs on Sponge - which a bit like Spigot. This has meant that nearly everything on the server is custom and had to be re-coded from the ground up. All of the normal custom plugins we use simply don't work on Sponge. I'd like to thank all of the players who have purchased stuff in the stores over the past few months to make this amazing new addition to our Fruity community possible.

Fruit Pixelmon is unique - no surprises there! I wanted to do our own take on Pixelmon and not do what a lot of the other servers are doing. It is a real combination between Survival and Pixelmon which I thought would be best for the community. This allows us to roll out a lot more custom features for the server and really enhance the gameplay. Our custom Pixelmon MCMMO is just the first glimpse at this and I can't wait to show you all what we have planned.

Like any new server, there are still things to be worked on, bugs, crashes and stuff to be polished! So if you see something that isn't quite right or you think could be added / improved, please let us know!

Pixelmon is now also open for staff applications HERE.

1.16 is being released this week. As always, it will take us time to update everything before we can move to the new version. Each major Minecraft update gets messier and messier to do. From this perspective, we will be taking things slow and not rushing into the update otherwise. New updates bring a lot of lag, bugs and crashes which is not what any of us like. It can take weeks for spigot and everyone to start updating their stuff, never mind making it bug free. We will be allowing players to connect with 1.16 clients as soon as possible so that it is easy for everyone. A date and time for when we will update to 1.16 will be announced asap. For Survival, this will involve resetting the nether to bring all of the new pointless features into the game.

H1 would like to thank you for reading his essay.

Now available on Survival is Fruity Quests! The first season of Fruity Quests runs for four weeks, with new quests available each week.  Complete the quests to earn experience and level up. There are ten tiers to advance through, which will award you with new and better rewards the higher the tier!  There are also daily quests which you can do for some bonus experience, these refresh daily when the server restarts. To begin your quest adventure type /bp in game, this will bring up the Fruity Quests GUI, show you what tier you are at, what rewards you can win, and what quests you can do.

Happy Questing!
