Players can expect to see some massive new features this upcoming season such as: 1.21 backend, claims plugin updates, new event (Simon Says), and much more!

This update will bring forward all of the newly added Minecraft features (Such as trial chambers, crafter blocks, etc). Minecraft 1.21 was released on the 13th June, and in typical Survival fashion, we are striving to keep everything on the latest Minecraft version! Simon Says Event: Introducing "Simon Says," a brand new event coming next season! All players on the server will be assigned a task to complete within 60 seconds (for example: catch a fish). Points will be awarded based on how quickly players can finish the task. The event will feature multiple tasks, and the players with the highest scores at the end will be crowned the winners. Simon Says tasks can only be completed inside the resource worlds! Claims Plugin Update: Next season, our claims plugin will receive some quality of life updates to make it even more powerful and user-friendly! Players can look forward to a new 'Manager' role, providing greater flexibility when setting up claim permissions. Additionally, players will now be able to transfer claim blocks to others using the command '/claim pay <player>'. Lastly, you can now ban a specified player from all of your claims at once. No more going to each individual claim when you ban a player, you'll have the option to banish them from all your claims in one sweep! Survival Tutorial: Understanding the fundamental concepts and features of a server can be a daunting experience, something we aim to alleviate with this new tutorial! Upon joining the server for the first time, all players will be greeted by a little helper to show them around the server. This helper will show players the fundamental features of the server with a brief description on how each plugin works. Of course, players that already know what they're doing can choose to skip this tutorial! 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!
