Officially Recoded

We'll spare you the technical details, but until now we've been using an inferior workaround to get plugins like Towny or protections to work on a server with mods like Tekkit Lite. We have now, after extensive testing, transitioned to a, well, more mature workaround, into the production environment. This means many exciting fixes for the Admins but most of them players can notice too:

  • Protections (LWC) errors are gone, along with their occasional ability to be breached.
    Note: Because the name of the world has changed in this transition, you will need to relock your protections.
  • The Vote system (/vote) actually works, instead of not doing what it says it will.
    Note: This means we will remove the " went to bed, now it's day" feature in favor of voting for daytime - it's more fair
  • Mobrider probably can be installed again, we will try it later this week.
  • E-map can have extra information on it, such as player plots/beds/sign-out locations/tombstones.
    Note: E-map is the new name for Dynmap/Epsilon Live.
  • Smart signs are actually useable now because they don't misbehave anymore.
  • Funny death messages came back instead of those boring defaults.
    (...and it will use your nickname, not your full player name.)
  • And finally... New players actually are detected and treated! like new players, with the old code they did not get stuff, instructions, did not spawn in the right place, and didn't even get an announcement.
If you still find any problems, as always we encourage you to fill out a /ticket. This is so exciting!
