ShadeCrest: A Gaming Community

Hi all,

Forum was running behind on updates so this time I'm posting the very first update announcement.
Also the owner has fixed that the forum/website is now in https instead of http. So its more secured now.

First of all, i'm playing now already for a couple of months on ShadeCrest and I enjoy the stay there.
I'm Archangel1977 and i'm currently a moderator in game as here on the forums.

I'll try to help where I can.

Anyway in the last post we were updated to 1.14.3 and now we are on 1.14.4
The portals has recently been fixed, so some warps are now removed. You'll get a hard time to build those portals again

Well enjoy the game and server and I hope to see you all showing up again and to have some fun.

PS. keep an eye on discord, treasure hunts in spawn are often posted there.
If you got any questions please ask them in the proper categorie and also report if you have been griefed.
You could also post your questions in Discord.

The update is finally here! Mostly!

As of this post, portals are not working due to our portal linking plugin relying on an older version of bukkit. I will try to address this quickly, but for the time being, the nether and end are inaccessible.
I will be resetting the mining world shortly.

If you run into any issues, please post them in the forums or discord!

Hey there guys, we're going to try again for monthly updates. Wish me luck.

Server status
We've updated to 1.13.1, which has some performance and bug fixes. Nothing too major, but it is incompatible with version 1.13, so be sure you have the right version selected!

New features

• Jumping on crops dries the soil rather than immediately breaking them. Jumping on dry soil will then break the crops
• Type /shopeditor or hold and ink sac and click on a valid sign to open a brand new shop editor. This lets you edit your existing shops and create new shops in /warp mall in spawn!
  Valid signs include: Shops you own, empty signs.
• Announcements have returned, in all of their server-santioned spammy glory

Wiki updates
There are two new WIP pages on the wiki (one linked, one not) that attempt to condense all important information for survival 1.13. First is the...

If you are using an older client (1.12.x) you will get kicked over to creative. Probably. Just use 1.13.

A single week between news posts? Blasphemy.

Hello again guys, I bring you news of an impending ShadeCrest 1.13! We are going ahead with a Friday August 3rd release, and will add in missing elements over the next 2-3 weeks. The target time is around 4pm EST, though that may shift by an hour or two.
While last week's thread covered our progress, this one will cover things you should know heading into the update.

Survival 1.12.2 ends Thursday
We will be shutting down the 1.12.2 server for the last time on Thursday in order to prepare the 1.13 update. At that time, all data will be archived and preserved for future reference (the potential of spectating our old map comes to mind.)

The end of Creative
There are no staff around to update Creative's plugins, and as such Creative cannot update to 1.13. Rather than keep around an unused, outdated server, we will shut it down indefinitely. "Press 'F' to Pay Respects."

Hey there guys! As you know, Minecraft 1.13 (Update Aquatic) has been out for a week now, but it's still not on survival! It's the least I can do to make an update post about our progress and expected release.

So slow!
Previous updates have had minor changes to underlying Minecraft code, making Bukkit updates very fast and breaking very few plugins. The changes in 1.13 are absolutely massive, and required large-scale API replacements. As such, the SpigotMC team released the first Bukkit build only 3 days ago. In addition, the API is still missing features and contains bugs, meaning that while running Bukkit 1.13 may be stable, plugins may not work as expected. The brand new API also means many old plugins need an update. The more a plugin relies on blocks and materials, the more work it needs to update.

Plugins?
I can think of a few plugins that are required for the server and use blocks/materials extensively: ChestShop, LWC, and (oh...
