Changelog

All server updates, new features, and changes in one place.

A combat-centered update focusing on crystal PvP balance. We want cPvP to remain a viable playstyle while nerfing first-strike advantage.

Crystal PvP Changes

  • Crystals and anchors now stack to 4 (makes cPvPers more drainable)
  • Crystals and anchors only damage players currently "in combat" with the attacker (nerfs first-strike advantage)
  • Crystals and anchors no longer damage the environment, only entities (keeps the world pretty, disables anchor-crystaling)

End Dimension

  • End reset: everything beyond 5k blocks (Nullscape) has been reset
  • From 5k–25k blocks, the End is now vanilla generation
  • New worldborder set at 50k diameter (25k in each direction)
  • Custom End fight event held on Sunday after spawn event

Other Changes

  • Homes and TPAs updated to an in-house solution
  • Permission issues with homes/TPAs resolved
  • All trial chambers within 1000 blocks of spawn have been fixed
