1.20 Update Plan

UPDATE - WE ARE LIVE ON 1.20.1!!!

On 6.7.2023, 1.20 comes out. YAY!!!  Are we updating yet?  NO!!!  Why?  Because our plugin engine won't be ready for some time.  Let's go through a checklist of things that need to update, I'll keep this up to date:


Server Engine:


Plugins: We need plugins to be ready/tested in 1.20:


Here's some "optional" plugins that we use that aren't critical but need to be upgraded:


Here are the data packs we use:

  • Our main datapack bundle comes from vanillatweaks and can be found here: https://vanillatweaks.net/share#xMDuyU
    • AFK Display - Grays out a player's name if AFK for 5 minutes
    • Durability Ping - Get notified when a tool is under 10% durability
    • Track Statistics - Tracks some interesting statistics
    • Track Raw Statistics - Adds 100+ things to a scoreboard which can rotate and show online players who has done what
    • Coordinates HUD - Shows the players XYZ coords and time of day above the hotbar
    • Workstation Highlights - Allows you to find the workstation of any villager
    • Player Head Drops - Players will drop their heads when killed.  The dropped head will have a tag showing who killed them.  The block is a player head with a texture baked into the item, so texture will persist even if the player changes skins.
    • More Mob Heads - Mobs have a chance to drop their head when killed, the head is a player head with a texture baked into the item.
    • Villager Death Messages - Notifies the server chat when a villager is killed
    • Wandering Trades - The wandering trader will now sell mini blocks which cost emeralds AND a full size version of the mini block.  The blocks are player heads with textures baked into the item.
  • Armor Statues - This is a more advanced version of the Vanilla Tweaks armor statues mod, made directly by the original author on his CurseForge Page. It allows posing and modification of armor stands and item frames. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/armor-statues-datapack
  • Custom Roleplay Data - A datapack to allow custom re-modeling of items for additional roleplay stuff; it's technically no new items, but if a custom model is added to the server resource pack, it renders in-game for anyone in game. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/custom-roleplay-data-datapack. Our current list of custom models can be viewed here.
  • Stillagers - A custom DataPack made by surfrock66, this allows you to apply a nametag to Villagers titled "Stillager" which disables their AI which reduces lag in 1x1 spaces in trading halls.  The still villagers will restock at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM in game.  This can be reversed by applying the nametag "Moveager." https://www.teh3l3m3nts.com/new-datapack-stillagers/

 

Lastly, there are some client mods we use which are very helpful but aren't deal-breakers

1.19.4 Update

I updated us to 1.19.4! It's a big processes these days; the Noob Guide in the sidebar is updated with all mods, datapacks, plugins, and resource packs. Our resource pack has been updated (as well as Stillagers, which I do every update). Enjoy!

1.19.3 Update

I forgot to make a post, but we did 1.19.3. In that, the resource pack went wonky since some of the inventory UI's changed, so if you have issues, upgrade your client to 1.19.3.

1.19.2 Update Done

This is a small deal; I just updated the server to 1.19.2. Everything is the same, except now we have a plugin to disable chat reporting.

1.19 Update Plan

UPDATE - WE ARE LIVE ON 1.19!!!

Ok, before I start, I've been playing on a patreon server a bit, so I've been on the server less...but I'm almost done with some projects I want to do on there then I plan on being on this server more. Hooray! It's the patreon for Joe Hills from Hermitcraft, and I joined when they reset for Season 9, and have completed the farms I wanted to and 2 of my mega builds.

On 6.7.2022, 1.19 came out. YAY!!!  Are we updating yet?  NO!!!  Why?  Because our plugin engine won't be ready for some time.  Let's go through a checklist of things that need to update, I'll keep this up to date:


Server Engine:

  • SpigotMC - Ready enough
  • PaperMC - Mostly ready; I have tested in the dev server, just a couple of things left.
    • Paper has a few major changes that need evaluation. First, the config files will change, which may be fine, but will require me to test first. Second, there is a new faster redstone engine called "Alternate Current." It may fix server performance some, but it also may break things, it's worth me testing in my test environment. Lastly, things having to do with color codes (like the way we highlight player names) uses a new color format, so that may need to be reconfigured.
