January Recap

Its Finally February! How has everyone's First month of 2026 been?
Well I am here to Tell you how it has been for the Fruit Servers, with a January Recap!

New Community Managers

Hello Fruitsters, two massive bits of news to start the month for you. I am super excited to announce the return of Ahtnamas80 to be Community Manager on Pixelmon with Ascacos.

Ahtnamas80 will also be teaming up with St0nkatron to be joint Community Managers for our brand new Hytale Server. St0nkatron will be remaining in his Event Manager position for the Minecraft networks.

Really excited for this fantastic team to come together, the next few months are going to be very busy.

Grow a Garden Popup

Today we have launched our first Popup Server of the Year! This server has been put together by Pandi and is based off the Grow a Garden Gamemode from Roblox. Plant crops, harvest produce, upgrade your plots, and turn your garden into a flourishing empire. There are tons of custom crops to grow and harvest! A massive thank you must also go to MeloCraft for her fantastic building as always and the early testers. We hope you enjoy this limited time gamemode!

Lovely lovely fruitsters! Today marks the 1st days of February, the month of LOVE! Decorated around spawn you'll be sure to see some brilliant valentines decorations, making it the perfect occasion to propose in game to your special someone! Or... we alternatively do have upcoming valentines day crafting comps and specials - for the love of the game (and some cool prizes).

A big thank for the builders, event-cs and staff involved in getting up these areas, events and competitions! Be sure to thank them in game, because without them - all that'd be on offer is H1N9 offering you a prickly rose bush.

Ciao for now!

Hey fruitsters!
Bit of a bigger one from me, covering all we have seen so far this month!
Kicking off a brilliant start to the year with survival’s wipe! It is great to see everyone playing together and having a fun time!
We saw the newly reworked jobs plugin make its welcome return, thank benkbb for that one! We saw the change to warp shards, merging them into the custom relic shop! Check out /warp custom on how to obtain them!
Token tools have been released! Get collecting those tokens! Check out the latest at /warp token!

Onto things brewing in the background!
We have a few new updates and a special trader coming in the new week! An overhaul to the eventrewards shop, found at the back of /warp ehof! Some special and potentially rotating items to be bought!
Valentines is just around the corner, and we have a bunch of new things to introduce alongside them! The dragon is gearing up for her return, with several goodies and a few collectables hidden around, with the dragonslayer receiving a 1 of 1 special collectable!

You might have noticed our spawn has gotten a bit pinker! We have put on a fresh coat of paint to look our best for our Valentine’s dates. Our Valentine’s Day area will be opening soon… and there may be a mob fishing related surprise… 

There has been an influx of Creepers (awwman) around Skyblock, and we need your help to get rid of them!! Our latest Community Quest has just started, with the goal of killing 35,000 creepers. Reach the leaderboard and you could win some epic prizes!  

Congratulations to everyone who completed the Head Hunt and got the collectable!

This month we're doing another Murder Mystery! Search around spawn for clues of who did not do it, when you've only got 1 person, weapon and location remaining then you have your accusation!

We had a massive anniversary on Skyblock, congratulations to Punsten for 4 whole years on the Skyblock Staff Team!! Thank you for all of your hard work, Skyblock would not be the same without you!

Hey everyone! I’m officially one month into the role, and I couldn't be more excited to keep things moving forward with this awesome community.
We’ve already got some mystery brewing at spawn with a new NPC on the run; as well as a new portal opening up somewhere soon! So make sure you’re watching our Discord closely for those update messages! 

Looking ahead, the reset is coming up fast, and Season 2 is right around the corner. Keep an eye out for that official two-week warning so you can wrap up your goals in time.
As always, my door is open—please keep sharing your suggestions, thoughts, and critiques over in the forums, as I’d love to hear your feedback on how we can make next season the best one yet.

 

★ Voting Competition ★ ​

Congratulations to shaylee_m, MeloCrafts, and Paramoral who were the top voters for last month and won perk vouchers!

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 Players ★ 

Player of the Month for this month goes to Fiendrat! He has consistently stood out as a genuinely positive presence in the community, whether that’s through chatting with others, taking part in events, or spending time with players in voice calls. Fiendrat is known for being friendly, approachable, and helpful, while staying respectful and drama-free. We’ve also received great feedback about how he interacts with players in other spaces, always representing the community in a positive way. It’s great to see someone who simply enjoys being involved and helps create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Congratulations, Fiendrat, well deserved!

Demski is a household name at Fruitservers, and she continues to show us why she’s the goat! Battlepass is no match for her. There are 101650 points with the weekly quests, which will result in tier 102… Demski has reached tier 129!!! 

Congratulations on this massive achievement, Dem!!

This month we have chosen Lanaka as our player of the month! While they’re usually on the quiet side in chat, their impact this season has been impossible to miss. A consistent player and always willing to lend a hand or advise to players new and old. We really appreciate having such a reliable, friendly, and helpful player in the community!!

This month’s POTM goes to TidusGaming, who’s quickly made a strong impression in a short amount of time. With consistent playtime, a friendly and welcoming attitude, and plenty of positive interactions in chat, Tidus has become a great example of the kind of player we love to see on the server. They’re always eager to help where they can, including providing meaningful and constructive feedback to improve the server for all - while keeping a positive vibe during both busy and quiet periods. A well-deserved win and a great role model for the community

★ Top Staff ★ 

HiluxPrincess is an absolute powerhouse behind the scenes, I would be a lot crazier and cranky if I did not have hilux by my side. Lux is always happy to lend a hand, have a yarn or give me a hard time! Thankyou for all you do in game and the backend things you don't see! Congratulations Hilux!

Our two admins definitely deserve the spotlights this month. These two are machines when it comes to configs and ideas. Some of the latest additions to Skyblock have been because of these two!! Thank you Aura & Ronkley for your endless hard work, I appreciate it immensely!

While a newer face to the prison team, vBeemo has had a big impact! They’ve wasted no time jumping into the deep end— from Parkour making to Planet Questing. vBeemo’s fearless approach to every new challenge has made them an instant asset to the team. We’re lucky to have them!

This month’s SOTM goes to Theprogameking for really stepping up during a quieter period and proving just how reliable he is. He’s consistently proactive in helping players, answering questions, and staying active when others were away, all while showing a genuine desire to learn and improve. He handles issues with maturity beyond expectations, but still keeps things light with a sense of humour - a great balance and a well-earned recognition.
