Stacked Spawners:
Gone are the days of building towering spawner structures hundreds of blocks high. This upcoming season, we're introducing a new feature that allows players to stack spawners directly on their islands. This innovation enables more compact and efficient designs without compromising performance. Now, spawners of the same type placed on adjacent blocks will automatically stack with each other!

Skyblock 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!

Emerald Generators:
Emerald generators are a brand-new feature being added to all Nether islands, located on the Lava Fishing pier. These two generators provide an additional method for obtaining emerald blocks, which will be deposited directly into your emerald vaults. These generators are automatically unlocked and upgraded through lava fishing on your Nether island, with successful catches of either cooked cod or cooked salmon. Don't forget to keep your power generator fueled to ensure these emerald generators run at their maximum potential!

New Mob Statues:
This upcoming season, our Mob Statues plugin is receiving a major update, featuring the latest and greatest mobs. This update opens up a wealth of new decorative possibilities for your island! Players will be able to choose from over 30 new mobs to use as statues starting next season.

Digsite Improvements:
The Artifact Digsite is getting several quality of life improvements this upcoming season. Farming Baskets obtained from conquest arenas are now fully compatible with the digsite, enabling players to grind artifacts effortlessly without cluttering their inventory. Additionally, players can now enchant their excavation brushes with Speed Duster II, allowing for even faster artifact extraction!

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!
