ShadeCrest is now running 1.21.5 with a new map. The plugins are not final so you can think of this as a beta, some things are still being worked on and there will be rough edges. But it's running!

I promise nothing about looking at the forums for whitelist requests, I was terrible about that last time. Discord is a much more reliable way of getting my attention.]]> 1 And then 1.18.1!

Even though the changes in this version aren't that large, we have a few other updates for the server. So I guess this is the next never-ever-actually-monthly update thread.

I've done a spot check of a few things, but we have not checked on all aspects of the server. Please let us know if you run into issues!

For those who joined us in the temporary "escape the nether" server, we will leave that running for a little while longer (in case we need to modify survival again).

Well first of all, some has already noticed i'm the european admin and am currently building the entirely new PvP arena which some of you have already visited. Just log on the server and do /warp pvp and you can see for yourself.

For now i'm currently busy with the 2nd/final floor to build and you can explore and fight wherever you want in the pvp arena.

Recently we are experiencing players coming online and do advertisement for their own servers or people who like to cross the...

The short explanation of how this feature works is that selling items will slowly lower the price, and buying items will slowly raise the price.

Here are the shops we've created as a beta test:

I am so happy. Lately we getting around 8 to 9 players online and more are coming.
The high moments we had was already 12 to 15 players, not long but still its a number.

I am aware that Isolation is a pain, some can't go to school or work. Some aren't even allowed to leave their homes. And that's the hardest part, that you can't leave your house. I burden the pain with you all.

So I was thinking and leave comments below of your idea's.

Erik is the guy

Has done a lot in the short time (well... short, almost heading a year already again) since I started playing on this server. *Applause for Erik*

So what's happening lately that came to notice... Some old players are returning, I've also dragged some friends of mine to this server and lately some new players come (and some fast go). So it means it slowly getting back to live which I'm happy with.

You can now use the latest version on Survival.

There were no major plugin changes to make this switch, so everything should continue to work the same as it used to.

In addition, we will be resetting mining, the nether, and the end tomorrow to load terrain (bee) changes. We will be looking into upgrading sections old terrain from 1.14/1.13 to 1.15.1 in the overworld as well.

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...

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!]]> The New Update Thread - September 2018 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 17:41:23 +0000 https://www.shadecrest.com/site/threads/7476/ https://www.shadecrest.com/site/threads/7476/ invalid@example.com (ezeiger) ezeiger

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...

First off, this is not a repeat of the Survival Reimagined thread. That contains changes to mechanics and server settings, this will cover the process of updating to 1.13. Plus I need to make a poll so I need a new thread.

So that poll; should we fully reset the server. This would mean wiping mcMMO,...
