This update will bring forward all of the newly added Minecraft features (Such as camels, hanging signs, etc). Minecraft 1.20 was released on the 7th June, and in typical Survival fashion, we are striving to keep everything on the latest Minecraft version! Claims Plugin Overhaul: Next season, players will notice that our claims plugin has undergone a simple but important change to allow for much more flexibility. Rather than being shared globally across all your claims, players will now be able to individually setup different permissions, trusted and banned players across each of their individual claims. As of next season when using claims commands, it is important to stand inside the claim of your choice that you are wishing to configure! PvP Arena Overhaul: This upcoming season, Survival players will have a much more comfortable official place to PvP players on the server. /Warp PvP is a brand new official PvP arena which will be the only place on the Survival server to enforce combat tags (unofficial player made PvP arenas will not have combat tag). With this change comes a plethora of fixes and quality of life changes for PvPers (such as being unable to use disguises inside the official PvP arena). Nether Resource World: Next season will be introducing a brand new Nether Resource World. Since the implementation of Netherite and Armor Trims, many items are becoming harder to obtain over a long season. This new resource world will work identical to the Overworld Resource World (resetting every Friday). The only way to access the Nether Resource World is by using the command '/Wild'. New Survival Events: Events are a great way to keep the community engaged! Next season Survival will be introducing 2 new events which will take place throughout the day (Spleef and Survival Challenges). Spleef is a classic Minecraft minigame where you need to dig the snow below your opponents in attempt to make them fall into the water below. The last surviving player will be deemed the winner! Survival Challenges are a brand new event which will happen at random intervals throughout the day. All players online will be given a selected objective (for example Kill Creepers) and the top 3 players who complete the most in the allocated time will be deemed the winners! Summer Keys: Summer keys are a brand new type of key which are only available to purchase until the end of August. These keys are unique in the way they work, giving players a guaranteed 5 rewards (2 of which are limited edition chat tags). There are currently 7 available chat tags for players to collect, all of which can be viewed and activated by using the command /tags. The only way to obtain these chat tags is by opening these limited edition keys, or purchasing them from another player (auction house). 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!
