Creative
Fixed The tab list on creative showing the dynamic crew placeholder, it now defaults all crews to Grey, because that placeholder is dynamic based on the viewer not the player its on, there is no way to get that information from creative. I finally, after about 5 attempts found a way round it! Was driving me crazy.

Survival
Build of the Month Gallery is back!
Added every single painting back to /warp botm 100% all restored 2013-2022!
I thought they were gone forever. After an investigation these were tied to the previous map generating plugin, those files were just gone entirely. I was able to re-create them from scratch by searching logs for all the previous commands I have run from the last plugin.
I used Imgur for all of them, which somehow were still hosting images, I had to use some voodoo to get them all as Imgur is blocked in the UK & also block my VPN... But here we are, I re-created 100% of them that were in the hall!
The hall has been full since 2022, so if anyone wants the task to expand it for more storage on creative, then we can start updating from 2022 onwards!
Since they were created from scratch they are all a command a way, so we could easily have these dished out to players for infinite copying as artwork in your builds if you wanted, not sure how we would distribute, if someone wants to open a shop to do it?

Dev Log
Pulled a ton of changes to survival from Dev server for Paradise island event preparation.
@Changelog Alerts 
Survival
Updated Crate plugin to latest version to see how stable it is (Next reboot)
Ive just seen the plugin is now deprecated, were currently running a build that's over 20 versions behind this latest due to odd issues we had last time when trying to update it, This latest version is 4 versions ahead of when we last tested it so hopefully its stable, I may have to look at wiping the data so its fresh as that may have been the original issue to upgrading. We have been talking about swapping to something more modern at some point, but its not a priority, I just want to see if this latest version works for us without issues. Use /crate claim if you have keys to claim!
@Changelog Alerts
Survival
For next reboot;
Backdated Crate plugin, I remember why I backdated it now, it does not format colors properly and every single previous crate would need to be updated, which is not priority at all.
@Changelog Alerts
Survival
Added @Moderator and above some general use /tags to explain the current job you are doing, this helps when we log in and tells peolpe what we are currently doing, for example setting up for an event, so people will know to not start asking questions the second we log in, as its expained in the login message what we are doing.
These are right at the very start of the tags GUI for quick access, feel free to request more.
Dev Preperation
Preperation for an incoming event, this isnt ready to do anything yet other than look at the arena.
Added /warp battle to get to the Gladiator arena at cove for boss battles.
Updated boss spawn code to prepair for a some boss spawns for this arena, some items need to be polished first, youll know when it goes live as there will be an anoucement.
Updated The Gladiator arena region to match the dragon battles flags, we may need to tweak it as we go.
Main world - Catch the Leprechaun!
Added 
Leprechaun custom mob; will randomly spawn around the main overworld!
Catch the Leprechaun for st paddy's day!
26 custom items you can trade with the Leprechaun once you catch him!
Three versions of the Leprechaun, which one will you find?
Added a special sheep

Survival
Were trying to hunt down an issue that causes the server to restart itself, just so you are aware! We know the reason, but not sure what plugin is causing it as the logs are lacking! Please bear with us, sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime, just an update to say I am aware and working on it!
Temp removed Cannons plugin next reboot to just make sure thats not at fault.
Added debugging logs in Custom mobs plugin
Updated a ton of Custom mobs, multiple times over the last few days.
Ive not had the time to do changelogs yet and all my times gone into trying to resolve a bunch of problems that have cropped up, I will get around to this, its on my list once the problem list goes away.

Update on survival reboots.
Still testing the waters, we had so many reboots today at the fault of the debugger I enabled yesterday that took effect this morning, this itself was a catch 22 as there was so many messages it overwhelemd the server over and over again, ive disabled that. Im going to disable custom mobs for a few days to see if everything is stable, while we clean up some old mobs we dont need loaded right now from existing events.

Proxy
Updated Proxy server to allow for Minecraft 26.1 clients to join the 1.18.2 server

Updated protocol hack plugin to allow latest client to connect.
26.1? But it was 1.21?
Mojang changed the version number system in Minecraft to match bedrock clients.
The TLDR of that blog post is;
we’ll be numbering our versions based on the year
Personally I'm not a fan of this version number system, but it is what it is

Custom mobs back next reboot!
Had this disabled due to trying to figure out a reboot issue with a projectile and needed to confirm it was indeed the custom mobs plugin causing it, the servers been stable a few days so that confirms it to me. I have made some changes to what I think caused the issue, but theres only one way to find out.. boot it and play!
Re-added Custom mob plugin
Removed all older custom mob packs that we dont need to have loaded right now, came up with a simple system to let me keep them in sync with dev changes but not actually loaded at all times.
I still have a changelog & docs to make for @CallieMav recent overworld mob spawns! Ill try and get that done soon!
