ShadeCrest: A Gaming Community

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.

Old news:

Hey, I made it under a month this time. Progress!

Summary:

• General - 1.12?
  
• Survival - New Staff
• Survival - "Did you mean?"
• Survival - Lockpicks!

General - 1.12?
So plugins are a pain to update, and after nearly 20 hours of hacking at old stuff, we've decided to go the ViaVersion route. Players with 1.12 will be able to connect just fine, but the server will continue to run 1.11.2 for a bit. We'll let you know before that changes

Survival - New Staff
Hazbo_56 has been promoted to moderator, (belated congrats!) and he has been a big help so far, including being the driving force behind lockpicks! <3 hazbo

Survival - "Did you mean?"
The looks are still a bit rough, but we have command suggestions on the server whenever an incorrect command is typed! Try "/jelp", "/waro", or other non commands for yourself!

Survival - Lockpicks!
Lockpicks let players unlock old chests on the server. A chest is "old" when the...

Oh look, it's this thread again!

Summary:

• Survival - Towny upkeep changes
• Survival - QuestWorld update!
• Survival - Villager trade tweaks
• Survival - TownyTweaks permission update!
• Survival - Fools gold
• Survival - Modified /wild
• Survival - /warp for towns
• Web - Update player stats page w/ warps and economy
• Web - Updated server resource ips
• Web - Upgraded Wiki to 1.28.2
• Web - New player stat page!

Survival - Towny upkeep changes
Instead of charging per town rank , towns will be charged based on claimed plots. This is a more fair way of doing pricing, and doesn't punish towns for adding new members.

- Town upkeep per plot will be 50r
- Towns will be able to claim 4 plots per player in town
- Maximum bonus plots will be reduced to 40
- Outposts will be disabled

Survival - QuestWorld update!
QuestWorld has been changed to add Repeating quests
These refresh immediately after completion, and this is the new...

Weekly updates, huh? That's just silly - how about a half an update every 6 months!
Seriously though, this post was long overdue at the beginning of 2017. These are from late September 2016 to early December 2016. Enjoy!

Summary:

• Survival - Tutorial reminders
• Survival - Mail bulletins
• Survival - Limited /tpa and /tphere
• Survival - Soulbound
• Survival - Pages in /mail
• Survival - Satchels 3.0 & 3.1

Survival - Tutorial reminders
The tutorial now reminds players if they sit on a command for too long. A simple but effective way to clear some confusion for new players taking the tutorial.

Survival - Mail bulletins
Mail has been improved! Along with supporting multiple pages (rather than spamming all messages on /mail list), we can now send important messages to all players via a bulletin!
This will be used to inform existing players of any changes we've made to the server, and appears in your inbox as from "ShadeCrest" (in...
