The second week of July, and oh boy, there is a lot to cover this week! So sit tight!

This week has been a very hectic week! Survival reset on Wednesday for the 1.17 update. So far things appear to be going pretty well! We are still waiting for Disguises, Miniature Pets and several other plugins to update to 1.17. Hopefully they will return over the coming weeks.For those with the Fruitlympics Special, you can now re-claim it with /fruitredeemCrafting Competition has also started on Survival, you can get heaps of cool collectibles and win perk vouchers / IRL prizes!

Hello Fruitsters, hope you are all enjoying the lovely new map! 1.17 has bought so many gorgeous new things for us to play with, I can not wait to see what you all come up with this time. A lot of work went in to getting everything ready for reset day, so I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff who pitched in and helped get things set up. The spawn had a face lift, and is looking very fancy, brought to life by our amazing builders Vyper_buildabear and Secrets___ so a massive thank you to both of them for all the many hours of hard work they put in.With the new Minecraft update we are looking for ideas for new events, if you have any ideas that you think would be great for a new event, we want to hear from you! Go to this FORUM POST and leave your ideas and suggestions in the comments.

Hello skyblockers! This week has been exceptionally hectic with our update to 1.17
It has been so nice watching people explore the new content that this minecraft update has provided.However, minecraft updates means that there are a lot of busy bees running around trying to overcome many obstacles.
So here are a few things to keep in mind:
Both Skywars and Bedwars are disabled until they are updated to 1.17, and there is currently no ETA on their return. Cards have also been disabled temporarily - while the plugin is being rewritten to support the new update. This will also allow us to do some cool things with cards in the near future, so get keen! If you noticed minions were being a bit uncooperative, you would be right! We are hoping to fix this ASAP, but have no ETA on this this either.
Please remember that staff have little control over these issues. Please be patient with us, as we endeavour to help you in any way that they can.
Some sneaky players have already noticed some differences around the server! Spawn has been fully decorated with gorgeous lush caves, courtesy of ExpressoYourself. There are various entrances to access these caves around spawn, can you find them?
1.17 items have also been added to the in-game shop, access them directly at /warp 1.17!Don't forget to go for a swim with your favourite axolotl's and glow squids! Just.. maybe not at the same time.

This week we released the Ground, and Normal gyms for our group of starter gyms. These two gyms complete our collection of gyms that are openly available to be challenged by everyone from the very moment you join FruitPixelmon.

Come check them out for yourself over at /warp gyms!

Pixelmon has been packed this week! With CozzaLAD and Budddi passing their T-Mod phase to both become a Mod!

And we wish Ronkley a farewell from Pixelmon.
