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 Minions, Plots, 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 Friday 6th May 3pm MST.

- Players can now use the command /togglesb to view a separate booster scoreboard on their screen
- Cellmate level has now been added to /stats
- Friendly Fire for gangs has now been swapped over to a permission (so gangs can enable or disable it)
- Brand new 'Plot Dimension' has been added, giving players a separate area to build besides their mine
- PMD has been massively overhauled to give it more of a purpose (players can unlock Minions from the PMD)

- Players can now purchase Wyvern Spawners from the Minion shop, along with the ability to upgrade them
- Players are now able to view their PMD statistics
- Players are now able to sell Dragon Eggs in the shop (obtainable from Wyverns)

Minions (PMD Overhaul):
This upcoming season, the Prisoner of Mass Destruction (PMD) has been massively overhauled. Upon using the PMD, players will now unlock minions (there are 6 minions available to unlock). Once unlocked, minions will walk out onto your Private Mine, collect blocks and return them to your PMD. Whilst doing this, your minions will build up a bank balance (known as Minion Money). Minion Money can be spent at the all new Minion Shop to purchase 2 new items: Wyvern Spawners and Wyvern Crystals. Wyvern Spawners are the brand new Custom Spawner, and Wyvern Crystals are used to upgrade these spawners! More information on Wyverns below.

Wyvern Spawners:
Wyvern Spawners can be purchased from the Minion Shop. These custom spawners have a unique purpose on Prison to differentiate them from all other spawners. Wyvern Spawners can be upgraded using Wyvern Crystals (which are also purchased from the Minion Shop). Upgrading your Wyvern Spawner will grant players with many awesome benefits, most notably the ability for Wyverns to drop tokens (that's right, this is now the only other way to obtain tokens besides mining for them manually)! It is important to note that players are unable to place more than 1 Wyvern spawner on their private mine / plot. It is in a players best interest to fully utilise their minions and upgrade their Wyvern spawner as much as possible throughout the season!

Plot Dimension:
This upcoming season, Private Mines are receiving a massive upgrade! Upon entering your mine, players will notice a portal on their island. Upon entering this portal, players will be teleported to their Private Plot (which is directly linked to their Private Mine - Think of it as an extension of your land). This plot gives players a much more suitable location to setup a shop, or build whatever they desire, without having to worry about building around their mine. Players are able to seamlessly link their Private Mine to their plot using Nether Portals or Teleport Pads, allowing for endless possibilities. Gone are the days of mining in a Private Mine next door to a massive laggy chest shop!

Cellmate Improvements:
Last season, cellmates made their first appearance on our Prison server. This upcoming season, they are receiving a few updates to make them cooler than ever! Players are now able to rename their cellmate, along with changing the color of its nameplate. Along with this, a brand new command has been added /cmtop to display who has the highest level cellmate. An alternative way to view a players cellmate level is through the /stats command.

Brackets Tournament
This upcoming season, a brand new tournament styled event is making its way to Prison. Brackets will consist of 1v1 duels in a tournament style structure, until there is 1 player remaining who will be deemed the winner! This event will run multiple times per day, and can be accessed via /warp brackets.

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!

AlexMarkey Mar 30, 2022 at 2:52 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

The time has come once again for our Skyblock 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 Challenges, Emotes, Custom Spawners and much more! This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming Skyblock Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 1st April 3pm MST.

Upcoming Changes

Challenges
Out with the old, in with the new! It was no secret that our old 'Quests' on Skyblock was a long outdated system. One of the most major changes players will see this upcoming season is our brand new Challenges (which will replace our old Quest System). There are currently 36 challenges for players to complete. Each challenge is split into 6 levels, each of which gets progressively harder to complete. By completing enough challenges, players can unlock epic rewards such as Custom Spawners, Rank Symbols, Emotes and Money! Do you have what it takes to complete all of the challenges?

Custom Spawners
Skyblock is officially our first server to trial out completely custom spawners and mobs! The future is here and Dragons are flying their way to MCCentral! These epic spawners will be one of the most sought after spawners next season. Unlike all of the other spawners, players are unable to purchase these from the shop. The only way to obtain Dragon spawners is by progressing through the rewards in our brand new challenge system! Not only does this give challenges a unique purpose, this is also the perfect way to reward those players who strive to complete all of the goals given to them!

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 Skyblock Season. The Wheel Of Fortune is located on all nether islands and can be spun once per day (harvesting crops is a requirement to spin the wheel). Upon spinning this wheel, players will instantly gain access to 1 of 5 available buffs for their skyblock island. 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 island, Bonus Crops whilst harvesting on your island, Bonus Generator Experience whilst killing phantoms on your nether island, Bonus Mob Spawns on your island and Bonus Robot gems on your nether island. 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 a hefty money payout! Whilst spinning the Wheel Of Fortune, everyone really is a winner! Did we mention you can also change the skin of your wheel? Check out this adorable 'Club Penguin' skin!

Rank Symbols
Rank symbols are a way to further customize your appearance on Skyblock. These newly added symbols are unlocked by progressing through the newly added challenges. There are 45 different symbols for players to choose from. Upon selecting one of the rank symbols, this will be displayed in the tablist, scoreboard and chat for all other players to see!

Emotes
Expressing emotions on a block game is very difficult. When having a static face, it is no easy task to show your feelings! Emotes are here to save the day. With 27 different emotes to choose from, players are now able to express many different types of emotions through fancy modern animations. Emotes can be unlocked through the newly added Challenges (there are 27 different emotes to unlock and choose from)!

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!

25th February 2022 - KitPvP 10.0 Changelog

1,188

AlexMarkey Feb 24, 2022 at 11:46 PM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

After almost a year, the time has come to massively overhaul our KitPvP server. It was clear that many vital changes were needed in terms of content and balancing. This reset will be redesigning our KitPvP server in many major ways, providing a more modern and playable experience for both donators and rookies. This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming KitPvP Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Saturday 26th February.

Upcoming Changes
- Brand new event (Brackets Tournament)

Rank Symbols
Rank symbols are a way to further customize your appearance on KitPvP. These newly added symbols are unlocked by progressing through the newly added battlepass. There are 45 different symbols for players to choose from. Upon selecting one of the rank symbols, this will be displayed in the tablist, scoreboard and chat for all other players to see!

Brackets Tournament
The community made it very clear that Mob Madness was not the most liked event on KitPvP. Understandably, killing mobs which got in the way of the PvP wasn't the most enjoyable experience. This upcoming season, Mob Madness has been removed and replaced with a brand new tournament style event. Brackets will consist of 1v1 duels in a tournament style structure, until there is 1 player remaining who will be deemed the winner!

Balancing Changes
It was no secret that KitPvP needed some vital changes to move forwards. The gamemode was stuck in the past, and was an unplayable experience for Rookies. This upcoming season, KitPvP has undergone some major changes to all of the kits and paid donator perks. All donators will now have access to 1 kit (Kit Premium). Kit Rookie has been drastically buffed so that it can now fairly compete with Kit Premium. Alongside these kit changes, all players will now have access to the repair commands (free of charge)!

By utilising the newly added Voting Villager, Rookies are now also able to receive Protection 3 diamond armor along with God Apples.

KitPvP Battlepass
The battlepass is a new feature which is accessible to all players. The battlepass can be viewed ingame by using the command /battlepass. The purpose of the pass is to allow players to progress through 50 tiers of rewards whilst unlocking awesome rewards. These rewards include Emotes, Rank Symbols and additional money for every player killed.

Player Recognition
This upcoming season of KitPvP, players will find a brand new layout to our spawn. This new layout includes many additional elements, such as recognition for the top players. Located at spawn will be 2 holograms displaying the top 30 players (for both Events Won and Players Killed). Also located at spawn will be a mega-statue showcasing the skin of the most recent event winner! After putting in all that effort of grinding, a bit of recognition is always appreciated!

Boosters
After many years, Boosters are making a return to KitPvP! This upcoming season, there will be 2 available boosters for players to purchase: Charity Time & Enhanced PvP. Charity time will reward all online players $10 every 3 minutes (for a total of 30 minutes). Enhanced PvP will reward all players 3x as much money for kills whilst also rewarding players with 2x progression speed for their Battlepass.

Emotes
Expressing emotions on a block game is very difficult. When having a static face, it is no easy task to show your feelings! Emotes are here to save the day. With 27 different emotes to choose from, players are now able to express many different types of emotions through fancy modern animations. Emotes can be unlocked through the newly added Battlepass (there are 27 different emotes to unlock and choose from)!

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! Other changes include a brand new anticheat, plethora of bug fixes, brand new /kit hps and much more. We look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday. As always, enjoy!

31st January 2022 - Survival 9.1 Update

1,222

AlexMarkey Jan 31, 2022 at 7:36 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

31st January 2021

THIS IS NOT A RESET - NO DATA / PROGRESS WILL BE LOST! THIS IS AN UPDATE!

This update is dedicated towards our loyal Survival players! As you all know, Minecraft version 1.18 was launched back in November 2021. Our Survival server is currently running 1.17 as a backend version. A full fledged reset was currently not on the tables (thank you for all your feedback), as our Survival server has very recently undergone a fresh reset! The purpose of this update is to upgrade our current Survival server to a 1.18 backend (without any players losing any of their progress!) giving players access to all of the latest and greatest features which Minecraft has to offer!

- Backend version has been upgraded from 1.17 to 1.18
- There is now a brand new 'Resources' world which is 100% generated with the new 1.18 terrain
- The previous 1.17 'Claims' overworld has now been 'upgraded' to 1.18 terrain below Y=0
- All terrain in the 'Claims' overworld which is above Y=0 will remain unchanged!
- Nether & End worlds are 100% unchanged
- Fixed a bug where players could break spawners by using explosives
- Fixed a bug where players would receive a message from our PvP plugin every time they threw an enderpearl
- The scoreboard will now display what world you are currently in
- Players are now able to create chestshops inside the Nether world (since claims are also allowed here)!
- Upon spam clicking another player, you will no longer be spammed with messages from our PvP plugin
- Fixed a small exploit where players could easily kill others by using explosive end-crystals
- Fixed a bug where many of the 'steps' added in the latest versions could not be used to sit down on (with our sit plugin)

Upgrading a server from 1.17 -> 1.18 is a bit of a tricky task (compared to a flat out reset where everything is a fresh start). Because we are needing to 'upgrade' some of our worlds (the claims world) from 1.17 terrain to 1.18 terrain without affecting anything which players have already built in, this is a bit of a time consuming task (due to the size of the world). For the upcoming days whilst this process is in the works, Survival will remain offline.

Players can expect to see Survival open this upcoming Thursday at 3pm MST with all of these changes!
