Survival - Plugin updates
Sleeplite, Handytools, and QuestWorld have all been updated to fix bugs and make things work better. McMMO's drops have been adjusted to actually match the thread from last week, a few things weren't quite right in the config.

Survival - /Color VIP perk
VIP III+ can use /color while holding leather armor to set it to any color! It's still WIP and gives very little feedback, but it functions.
Usage:

Survival - ClockStopper update
This is now only available to VIP I+, and offers previews for morning, midday, evening, dusk, midnight, and dawn. There is no more reset option, the time will...

Yes we're back to doing this thread

Summary:

• Survival - UUID - Home plugin
• Survival - Quests
• Survival - Better sleep plugin
• Survival - ClockStopper
• Survival - Nether fishing
• Survival - HandyTools
• Survival - McMMO excavation

Survival - UUID - Home plugin
This was fixed ages ago, but now it's actually fixed (thank god). You can change your name without worry of losing your home.

Survival - Quests
Finally finally FINALLY added the woodcutting quests to round out Daily Quests, wooo! We've also started work on some new starter quests for guests and some new one-time challenge quests... >

Survival - Better sleep plugin
I swear it's better even though I've had to fix it 4 times already! SleepLite is a replacement for our previous sleep plugin and offers much more flexibility (like ignoring pesky admins in creative mode when trying to skip night.)

Survival - ClockStopper
This will be a VIP perk, but while...

The PvP changes we’re so big that they got a week of warning and discussion. This change requires two months.


In 2018, ShadeCrest Survival will get a brand new map and spawn!
This isn't a creative writing exercise so I'm just going to bullet point this.

On the process of switching maps:

• The new map will become our primary build world
• Our current build world will live alongside the new map for 2-3 months before being archived
• All chest locks and towns will be refunded to allow building up in the new map
  
• Along with the refund, all towns will be removed so we can use a 16x16 plot system in the new map
• Build moves have not been ruled out, but we've not figured out a nice way of doing them yet

New map properties:

• Expanded border of +- 32k blocks, 16 times the size of our current world
• Building/digging below a certain level will only be possible inside town boundaries, discouraging overworld...

Is this going to be a recurring thing? Doubtful, given my post history. But as we're now in November, we should cover things that have changed on ShadeCrest!

PvP Changes
Global pvp (with town toggle) is now in effect! If you somehow missed the thread right before this one in news, first of what are you doing with your life, and secondly go read it!

Town price
New towns have been "reduced" from 10k to 6k. The actual town price is the same (5k), but the initial town balance has changed from 5k to 1k. This only affects the bar to entry for players creating a new town.

Wood tools
Wood tools now have a purpose, see this thread! The plan is to enhance stone and gold tools as well, but I don't have many ideas. If you have clever ideas, post in that thread!

Cauldrons
Did you...

Edit: Changes have been applied!

• "pvp" and "pve" have been replaced with "north" and "south" in all areas that make sense
• Cannot warp within 1000 blocks of your pvp death for 60 seconds
• Towns have permission for /t toggle pvp

Wow, the last proper update was back in June. Here’s a quick update before we get to the main course.

• The live map got new settings
• 1.12.2 is a thing
• Mietm is now an admin (Congrats!)
• Joseph is a mod (Congrats!)
• Using an eye of ender in the nether takes you to the end
• Throwable fire charges have returned
• The old towny nether has been removed (though the files still exist right now)
• You can now edit your /tags

That was fun. It’s not a massive list but we are working on some things behind the scenes that aren’t ready for the public . So now the big change that’s coming:

Global PvP with Town Toggles for PvE

PvP has...

Re-purposing this thread, updated all servers to 1.12.1! This means you are safe to connect with the latest client. In addition, we are using a plugin to allow older clients (1.12) to still join.
