Following up on the success of our last season, Prison Season 10 is arriving and it sure does bring some awesome game-changing mechanics to the Minecraft Prison community. This upcoming season of Prison builds heavily upon our brand new 'Private Mines' concept, adding some custom game-changing mechanics which have never before been seen in the Minecraft Prison community. This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming Prison Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 20th August.

Plotworld & Private Mines Merging
To start things off, this is the most notable change that players will expect to see next season. Throughout Season 9 of Prison, the plotworld played a very awkward role. This season was when Private Mines were first introduced, which were practically a plot in itself. As the concept was still very new, we were not comfortable with removing the plotworld, however after seeing how successful the concept was, we have decided to go all out and merge everything cleanly into 1 location (that being your Private Mine). Next season, Private Mines will have a plethora of new features as they are the new home to all of your belongings! All players will be able to create a Private Mine instantly upon joining. You will be able to create shops, lock chests, place spawners, edit more permissions, clear your mine and much much more!

It is important to note, the 'Mine' aspect of your Private Mine can still only be accessed once you achieve Prestige 1. Prior to prestiging, the main purpoes of your Private Mine will be the plot aspect of it (a way to place spawners, create shops and store your belongings). Once you have successfully reached Prestige 1, you will be able to unlock the ability to mine on your Private Mine.

Private Mine Improvements
With the Plotworld merging with Private Mines, it was clear that many vital changes were required. Because Private Mines are now the primary place for building and storage, we had to ensure gameplay goes as smoothly as possible with this change. Some of the Private Mine changes include the following: "/pmine chat" (Ability to toggle to Private Mine chat channel), "/pmine inspect" (Ability to inspect territory logs for your Private Mine), "/pmine blocks" (Ability to view who has mined the most blocks inside your Private Mine), "/pmine clear" (Ability to clear your Private Mine), "/pmine logs" (Ability to view audit logs), "/pmine warps" (Ability to set public warps), Ability to create Chest Shops, Ability to place spawners and the ability to lock chests.

Wheel Of Fortune
You heard correctly... The Wheel Of Fortune! As cheesy as it sounds, this wheel will have a very unique purpose in this upcoming Prison Season. The Wheel Of Fortune is located on all Private Mines and can be spun once per day (mining blocks is a requirement to spin the wheel). Upon spinning this wheel, players will instantly gain access to 1 of 5 available buffs for their Private Mine. This buff will last for exactly 24 hours, so ensure you make the most of it! These buffs include the following: Bonus Mob Drops on your Private Mine, Bonus Blocks whilst mining inside your Private Mine, Bonus Pickaxe EXP whilst mining in your Private Mine, Bonus Mob Spawns in your Private Mine and Bonus Robot gems in your Private Mine. If you are really lucky, you can land on the Jackpot (which will give you all 5 buffs)!

Of course, a 24 hour buff is awesome, but that is not all that comes with the Wheel Of Fortune. Upon spinning the wheel, all players are guaranteed to win tickets for use on the Prisoner of Mass Destruction (PMD). Whilst spinning the Wheel Of Fortune, everyone really is a winner! More information in regards to the PMD can be viewed below. Did we mention you can also change the skin of your wheel? Check out this adorable 'Club Penguin' skin!

Prisoner Of Mass Destruction
The PMD is a unique concept designed to bring an entire new aspect to mining blocks. Access to the PMD is obtained using tickets (which can be obtained from the above Wheel of Fortune). The PMD effectively allows you to take control of a giant prisoner who has access to a unique arsenal of weapons which can wreck absolute havoc on your private mine! Fire a beam from his magical shank, launch bombs and conduct lightning strikes. Mining has never been this satisfying and rewarding!

It is important to note, access to the PMD is limited to a certain amount of time. Ensure you make the most out of your time by purchasing upgrades, giving you access to more bomb ammo, more lightning strikes and a longer duration of time which you have control for. The PMD is a unique concept which we are very proud of, and a sure certain way to break the boring endless cycle of mining with a pickaxe.

Combat Crystals
This feature is dedicated towards our PvP community. We heard you all loud and clear when last season rolled out. It was clear the community was not impressed with the lack of content dedicated towards our pvpers. Players will find 'Combat Crystals' scattered around the Warzone. Upon punching one of these crystals, players will gain access to a set of effects for a short duration of time. As with anything, there is pros and cons. If you are unlucky, you may be hit with a set of debuffs, so ensure you are only using crystals when you feel it is absolutely necessary! Combat Crystals are a way to slightly change up the PvP environment which has remained the same for many years now. Of course, cooldowns are in place for balancing purposes.

Mob Statues & Teleport Pads
This upcoming season of Prison will be introducing a brand new item, which is available to all players for purchase from the ingame shop. Mob Statues! This item will allow players to spawn a statue of any mob on their private mine for decorative purposes. Players can customise and configure the statue by right clicking on it, which will then open a configuration GUI.

Teleport Pads are also a brand new item being introduced to the economy this upcoming season. Teleport Pads are an awesome item which allows players to setup multiple pads around their mine, link them together and have people zip across your mine like magic! With an extremely intuitive setup process, players are able to set up to 12 teleporters on their mine, linking them together in whatever order they desire. Using teleporters allows players to branch out their creativity even further, bringing forward many possibility of new games, mazes, farms and much more! We can't wait to see some of the ideas that the community comes up with.

Voting Villager & Pickaxe Experience
Following in the steps of our Skyblock reset, voting is now more attractive than ever before. The 'Voting Villager' (Who you will find at spawn) allows us to reward players that help support our server. By voting daily, players will complete a calendar which they can claim rewards from. The deeper down the calendar you get, the more enticing the rewards become. One of the voting rewards added this season is a Pickaxe Experience Voucher. These vouchers can be dragged an dropped onto your Upgradeable Pickaxe as a way to quickly increase its level! Make sure you vote daily to make the most out of these available rewards.

Miscellaneous Changes
A lot of time has gone towards this Prison Reset. Our main goal was to bring something fresh and new which the Minecraft community has never before experienced on another Prison server. Whilst this changelog details the main changes, a lot of small quality of life changes have been made such as: The ability to queue boosters, Ability to view who is online in a gang, /block command for donators, Brand new spawn & Warzone, and of course further optimizations in all of our plugins! We look forward to seeing everyone attend this reset. Enjoy!

31st July 2021 - Skywars Revamp

1,590

AlexMarkey Jul 30, 2021 at 3:29 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

At last, one of our most loved minigames has gone through the highly requested revamp! We would like to thank everyone for their patience over these past few months as we have worked up to this stage. As of today, Skywars is officially out of beta and starting its brand new journey on our revamped backend! This changelog will detail all changes (big and small) which players can expect to see with this Skywars revamp.

- Nautical
- Western Mines V2
- The Shire
- Relica

- Launch
- Khione
- Jungle Jam

Quality Of Life Changes
One of the goals for this Skywars revamp was to stick with the same feeling Skywars that all of our community know and love. Whilst we did not majorly change any gameplay aspects, we did however bring a boat load of QOL changes with this revamp such as: Reduced enderpearl cooldown, Removal of explosive arrows, Implementation of Map Voting, Removal of double damage ability, Much better balancing of Experience, Increased TNT limit, Removal of donator perks (balancing / eula purposes) and much more!

Supply Drops
One of the most notable changes with this revamp is the implementation of Supply Drops. These drops will occur randomly throughout the game, falling from the sky containing awesome loot to assist with speeding things up later on in the game! Make sure you keep an eye in the sky for these epic looking supply drops, drifting down to the islands below on a beautiful umbrella. They could make the difference between a win or a loss with their epic unique items.

New Cosmetics
Of course one of the best things about being on our new backend, is access to our new library of cosmetics! All of the revamped cosmetics are now available for use on Skywars including Guardian Angels, Projectile Trails, Player Tags and much more. Get playing so you can start unlocking from this massive collection!

Quests & Achievements
If you have been keeping up to date with this Minigames revamp, you should know all about Quests and Achievements! Skywars will bring forwards loads of new available quests which can be completed by players (either daily or weekly) to reward them with Experience and Tokens to spend at the Token Merchant. Achievements are fun objectives giving players a secondary task to work towards in Skywars (either challenges or long term goals over their entire career). Make sure to check out all available Skywars achievements inside our Minigame Lobby and see which ones you can achieve!

Spectate Ongoing Games
Another awesome advantage of Skywars making its way over to our new backend! Spectating ongoing games has many benefits. Not only is it a great tool for staff to properly moderate minigames (finally), it is also a great tool for new players or friends to simply watch games without the stress of playing! Spectating ongoing games can be done through the Join NPC inside the Minigame Lobby (this will display all ongoing games). Alternatively, if you would to spectate your friend on our new minigames revamp, you can simply type '/spectate <player>' to be instantly teleported to their ongoing minigame.

21 New Skywars Maps
Maps are just as important as the plugin side of things. The Skywars community has been stuck with the same maps for many years now and it is time to give them more! This revamp has been released with 21 new maps (including some awesome remakes of disliked maps). We now have a whopping 55 maps in rotation for Skywars, which is sure to keep players busy for a long time coming! A huge thank you to the community for submitting these new maps, keep them coming!

Conclusion
As you can see, many positive changes have been brought forwards with this long awaited revamp. Behind the scenes, Skywars has been completely remade from the ground up. We have taken this opportunity to give everything a fresh new face (more in-theme with the rest of our network) alongside many balancing changes. A huge thank you to all of the community that helped make this possible by submitting their feedback and creating maps. This is definitely not the end of what is to come! Keep your feedback and ideas coming so we can keep these minigames moving forward!
