- Players must now redeem their challenges rewards manually (rather than automatically receiving the rewards)

Mob Armor:
This upcoming Skyblock season will be introducing 7 brand new and unique sets of armor known as 'Mob Armor'. These rare new armor sets are crafted using the skulls of mobs (which can be obtained with the decapitation custom enchantment). Whilst wearing a full set of Mob Armor, players will be granted access to epic buffs whilst grinding their Nether Generator, alongside the ability to obtain our brand new currency 'Mob Coins' which can be spent at the newly added 'Mob Coin Shop'.

Mob Coin Shop:
Mob Coins are a newly added currency. The only way to obtain Mob Coins is by killing mobs whilst wearing a full set of Mob Armor. Mob Coins can be used to purchase custom cosmetics such as Projectile Trails and death cries, along with custom utility items such as Crop Hoppers, Emerald Wands and Mob Statues. As our Skyblock server matures, the Mob Coin shop will become the home to other upcoming unique items! Players are able to check how many Mob Coins they have by looking at the scoreboard at the side of their screen.

Tiered Spawners:
This upcoming Skyblock season, players can expect to see a massive overhaul to our Spawner economy. Spawners are now ranked into 7 different tiers, 6 of which must be unlocked before gaining access to them (upon starting your Skyblock adventure, islands will only be able to purchase Tier 1 spawners). To gain access to the next tier of spawners, islands must obtain a certain amount of Tier 1 mob kills on their island. The higher tier spawners are more profitable than the lower tier spawners, so progressing through them is a necessity to ensure the success of your island!

Cactus Farms & Crop Hoppers:
It has been many years since cactus farms had a purpose on MCCentral's Skyblock. Moving forwards, we are keen to integrate cactus back into the economy alongside spawners! Firstly, this upcoming season, the sell price of cactus has been buffed by 40%. Along with this change, players can expect to find a brand new item which can be purchased from the Mob Coin shop: Crop Hoppers! Crop Hoppers are a unique type of hopper designed solely for cactus farms. Crop hoppers will automatically pick up all cactus in the chunk instantly, resulting in a lag free cactus farm environment on the server!

Victory Trophies:
As a way to congratulate the winners of the previous season, trophies are now making their way into the economy! 3 Trophies will be handed out to the top 3 islands from Season 15. The owners of these 3 islands will be able to redeem their trophy by using the command /trophy. Trophies can be placed on your island as a flex, or sold for a high price! Remember, only 3 trophies will exist throughout the entire season, so look after it like it's your baby! To ensure their exclusivity, trophies will not be replaced in the event that they are lost.

Lottery
The lottery is a brand new world which is making its way to our Skyblock server. All players are able to purchase lottery tickets, and each day the lottery will be drawn. The winner of this lottery will have the potential to win a boat load of cash to assist them on their Skyblock journey! Whilst it may not be as eventful as winning the lottery in real life, this is the next closest thing! Players are limited to purchasing 128 tickets per day (to ensure everyone has a fair chance at winning). The lottery can be accessed with the command /lottery.

Pledge Towards Boosters:
Having made its way onto our latest Prison reset, this feature is now coming to Skyblock! Players are finally able to pledge money towards boosters. Upon opening the boosters GUI, players will now see an option to Pledge money. The next person to activate a booster will receive all of the money that is currently pledged towards that booster. Pledging boosters is the perfect way to encourage players to activate a booster!

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

21st September 2022 - Lifesteal 1.0 Changelog

2,184

AlexMarkey Sep 21, 2022 at 9:55 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

It's been many years since Minecraft Central has launched a brand new server! This weekend we are proud to release our very own Lifesteal server, bringing some epic new content for our community to enjoy. This post will detail all features big and small for our upcoming Lifesteal season which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 23rd September 3pm MST.

Lifesteal Features
- 48 Hour Deathbans upon losing all your hearts
- Maximum of 50 hearts
- 20k x 20k Overworld / Nether / End
- 750 x 750 Warzone surrounding spawn
- PvP Outpost (/warp outpost)
- King of The Hill event
- Clans system to team up with other players
- 1.19.2 backend and combat (Latest Minecraft Version)
- /Bounties (set a bounty on a players head to make them a target)
- Coinflip (gamble your money in hopes of winning big)
- Auction House (Simple way to sell your items to other players)
- Ability to withdraw hearts using /withdrawhearts <amount> (can not withdraw your starting hearts)
- Ability to pickup and move spawners using Spawner Wrenches
- /Shop which players can purchase a few essential items from
- 1 Available kit from Mythical keys (/kit hearts) which contains 3 heart containers
- Many more minor features which our community should be familiar with from other sub-servers!

What Is Lifesteal?
Lifesteal is a brand new PvP experience based on the latest Minecraft version (1.19). Situated in a no-claiming Survival world, players must create a base, team up with a clan and fight for their survival! Kill another player and you will steal their hearts. Be careful though! If you lose all of your hearts, you will be death-banned for 48 hours. Players are able to withdraw their hearts into a physical item for trading by using the command /withdrawhearts <amount> (It is important to note that you can not withdraw your starting 10 hearts).

Death bans only apply to the Lifesteal server. This is not a ban from Minecraft Central! Nor is this a punishment that will go on your history / record. Whilst you are death banned, you will be unable to join the Lifesteal server until it has expired.

Latest Version (1.19)
As Lifesteal is a Survival based gamemode, keeping up to date with the latest Minecraft version seemed obvious. Players will be able to enjoy all features which Minecraft has to offer, alongside getting to experience our first official 1.19 PvP server. As our Lifesteal server matures, players can expect to see the backend updated along with the new Minecraft releases.

Clans:
Of course, teaming up with your friends is vital when it comes to PvP. By utilising our clans plugin, players will be able to create, join and manage their own clan of up to 10 players. Clans are a necessity if you are wanting to compete for the PvP outpost. Clans are eligible to ally with up to 1 other clan.

King Of The Hill:
Of course, the classic PvP event. Everyone is familiar with King of The Hill! This event will take place 3 times per day, rewarding the winner with an event key (containing epic rewards). King of The Hill is located in the Lifesteal Warzone (situated just outside of spawn), and the goal is to be the first person to stand in the hill for 5 consecutive minutes. Good luck!

Spawner Wrenches:
Spawner Wrenches are a unique item available for purchase from the ingame /shop. Naturally in Minecraft, upon finding a spawner in the Wilderness, players are unable to pick them up. By purchasing a Spawner Wrench, players will be able to pickup these naturally generated spawners, allowing for them to place them inside their base to create a grinder wherever they desire! Spawner Wrenches have a limited amount of uses, so ensure you break and place your spawners wisely.

PvP Outpost:
The PvP outpost is a clan based PvP event which runs 24/7. The goal is simple; gather all of your clan members and conquer the hill, fighting off anyone who stands in your way! The clan whom is currently controlling the outpost will receive epic buffs and rewards such as a shop sell multiplier, increased experience and a $5,000 pay cheque every 3 minutes!

Available Worlds:
Lifesteal consists of 3 main worlds. The Overworld (20k x 20k), The Nether (20k x 20) and The End (20k x 20k). Located in the center of the Overworld is the server spawn, surrounded by a 750 x 750 PvP only Warzone. Outside of the Warzone is a no-claiming Wilderness which players can create their bases and raid others. Access to the Nether and End dimensions is done via the vanilla methods (Nether and End portals).

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with our releases, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Lifesteal is a brand new server, with a bright future ahead. Much more content will be on it's way in the near future! We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

31st August 2022 - Prison 13.0 Changelog

2,525

AlexMarkey Aug 31, 2022 at 12:18 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

The time has come once again for our Prison server to start a brand new chapter. This season is focussed on adding as much new content as possible to keep the game feeling modern and fresh! Players can expect to see epic new features this upcoming season such as KOTH, Smugglers, New Custom Spawners and much more! This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming Prison Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Saturday 3rd September 3pm MST.

Upcoming Changes
- Minions will now continue to make money whilst players are offline / AFK
- Players are now able to pledge money towards boosters
- Wyvern spawners have been nerfed a bit (due to them being too OP last season)
- KOTH has been added to the Wilderness as a brand new event (Winner receives an all new Bear Spawner)
- Brand new custom spawner 'Bears' have been added, only obtainable through means of PvP
- Smugglers which drop Contraband have been added to the Wilderness
- Prison Guard has been added to the Wilderness (Players can sell contraband to him)
- P5 and S6 is now obtainable as a rare reward from event keys
- New command added to view the top mines "/pmine top" (players can change the sorting)
- Private mine permissions for PMD and Robots have been split up a bit more, allowing for more possibilities
- Fixed a bug where endermen would sometimes grief and steal blocks
- Fixed a major bug where Apple Pickers could destroy leaves on other players Private Mines
- Confirmation GUI has been added for dropping your Upgradeable Pickaxe
- New Custom Enchantment has been added 'Glass Breaker' which can be applied to Pickaxes
- Fixed a bug with the 'Bypass Lock' Private Mine permission (it was failing when used with warps)
- Brand new spawner economy (new meta, etc)

- Beacons have been removed from Mythical keys (allowing for players to receive more desirable rewards)
- Trapped chests have been added to /shop
- Boosters will now display the username of the player whom last activated that booster

King Of The Hill:
It's about time the PvP players get some well deserved content! Everyone is familiar with King of The Hill! This event will take place 3 times per day, rewarding the winner with an event key, alongside the brand new Bear spawner (more information below). King of The Hill is located in the Prison Wilderness, and the goal is to be the first person to stand in the hill for 5 consecutive minutes. Good luck!

Bear Spawners:
Bear spawners are a brand new Custom Spawner which is making its way over to Prison! Bear spawners are a unique spawner, as the only way to obtain them is through either winning KOTH or by purchasing them using the all new Contraband. Bear spawners are a very powerful spawner in comparison to others, dropping cooked salmon with a very high sell value!

Smugglers & Contraband:
Another new addition that has been added to the Wilderness is the brand new Smugglers. Upon killing smugglers, they will drop contraband which can be picked up by players. As of current, contraband has 2 main purposes. Firstly it can be sold directly to the Prison Guard who will pay top dollar for all contraband handed to him (finally granting PvP players a solid way to make money). Secondly, it can be used to purchase the all new Bear spawner from the /shop (the only other way to obtain Bear spawners is by winning KOTH)!

AFK Minions:
Minions were added to Prison last season, however 1 issue became apparent very fast! To make the most out of your Minions, players were forced to AFK them constantly to ensure they remained active. This is no longer necessary next season, as Minions will now continue to do their hard work whilst you are completely offline. These poor boys never get a break!

Pledge Towards Boosters:
This is by far one of the most suggested things to add to Prison! Players are finally able to pledge money towards boosters. Upon opening the boosters GUI, players will now see an option to Pledge money. The next person to activate a booster will receive all of the money that is currently pledged towards that booster. Pledging boosters is the perfect way to encourage players to activate a booster!

Top Private Mines:
Private Mines have become a very important aspect of our Prison server, alongside a very competitive aspect. This upcoming season, the brand new command '/pmine top' has been added, which will open a GUI displaying the top private mines on the server. Players are able to adjust the sorting of this GUI, allowing them to view which private mines are the top in which category (spawners placed, blocks mined, etc)!

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday. As always, enjoy!
