I’m posting this change(b)log months after these changes have been implemented so please make sure to read later changelogs if anything has changed since.

I’ve removing mentions of updating plugins that don’t have any noticeable changes, as I do this so often its 50% of the changelog. If you are curious about what plugins are updating when, please follow the changelogs channel on discord as they happen.

• S21 Created at /shop1 built by @Atalantaa and was reserved for @Atalantaa as she did a swap for this shop and owned it before it was torn down to be re-built and updated as it was legacy on the old system! Very awesome design with this shop! It fits in perfectly with the existing terrain @Atalantaa and help from friend’s @claymaester @WaterPool.

• Re-added Protocol hack for 1.16+ clients to connect to the 1.12.2 server to trial it with a newer version of ProtocolLib to see if it doesn’t crash the server, sadly this is trial and error, cross your fingers it just needed a ProtocolLib update.

    • s55 5th @mikeal145

• Backdated the auto-afk system, I re-added it adding in AFK into the tablist to show who’s afk, im sure there was a reason I removed that, maybe AFK people were targeted to be killed? But I’ve still kept /afk denied for people to stop the spam, but it will automatically put people in afk after 5 mins and kick after 15 mins of inactivity.

• Via #🔭suggestions by @Fabul0usGandalf I updated all vote URLS to point directly to the vote page, to save you a click on each one!
• Removed [jukebox] sign as it was creating lag.
• Fixed the Next/Previous having a strikethrough in /guides out of the blue, as the developer decided to change how formatting works, thanks for noticing @lego.
• Gave Admins the /doors ability to re-locate the power block.
• Fixed permissions to create /doors again, the update added new permissions.
• Updated all the region flags at /spawn
  • You can now use buttons/levers at spawn.
  • You can now kill passive mobs at spawn (Like the chickens people spawn).
  • Updated the greeting/farewell messages to include /map in the message.
  • Denied using TNT/Flint and steel/frosted ice boots/block-trampling/enderman-grief.

• Implemented a fix to stop NPCS being stolen using boats.
• Re-enabled /warp warm-ups for all non-captains/staff. Not sure when this broke, something must have updated with the Premium essentials plugin, At least you’ve all had a while of instant warp teleport to experience Captain rank teleport speed!
  • Added particles for teleport like when you /tpa.
  • Uses the cool boss-bar timer countdown like /tpa.
• Re-added /vote top using later version of plugin that was backdated just for us!
  • This is now 1000x faster to load and go through pages.
  • Sadly due to how heads changed in 1.13, the backdate wont work with heads, so it just shows paper, but at least its working!
  • No longer crash the server.
  • Added /vote list to quickly show the vote list, this was a #🔭suggestions from ages ago.
  • I was forced to change the color system for /vote links, as whatever changes he made, he made it so I cant set colors on URLs otherwise they cant be clicked. LAME, not cool, now we have to have all white URLs in vote.
• Updated /warp cove vote room.
  • Now shows top 10 monthly voters
  • New shows top 7 weekly voters.
  • Expensive Blocks to show who’s top at first glance.

• Re-made S79 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @Salazar_The_Dead. If anyone else wants their stall changed to a popup at shop7 and made bigger, I need to re-make them, since the stalls are basically empty with 1 sign, I will change them all to popups.

• Changed all Portals Design, Holograms & Warps for all of /shop warps & Portals so you cant accidentally walk into a portal, via #🔭suggestions via @TheTikiTotem @Espul requesting all portals be removed, I’m not removing the ability for new players to find the market, so I have re-made them all to be impossible (unless you are really stupid) to walk into by accident.
  • Thanks to @thelocalpriest helping build & design with me.
    • Redesigned, so the warp is above the portal, so its now impossible to accidentally walk into the portal.
    • Color coded each Pirate Marketplace, so each market has its own official color.
    • Changed the particle effect for all portals.
    • Created Hologram for every marketplace, made the decision to call these “Pirate Markets” not Pirate shops.

• Re-made S81 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @Palmerto

• I figured out I can send messages to discord channels using a command in-game, so I’ve setup some alerts for automated things:
  • Each month we have 2 winners for the most /vote you can check /vote top to see where you are, the top 2 people at the end of the month will win 2 custom items you can see at /warp cove, now this message is broadcast in-game once, so nobody gets to know who won it! I’ve set up a message to send into the giveaway channel. So each month when the prizes are given out with the winners username so we can have a full log.
  • Added automated messages to be sent into a staff channel, when a shop gets unrented and rented, so we can have a searchable way to track how often they rent/unrent.
