Hey everyone!

We've added/fixed a lot over the last couple of weeks, so here's a dev log! I'd also like to take this opportunity to announce that PartyGames will become public on Friday, so make sure you check it out!


Party Games:
  • Various game updates that we didn't properly keep track of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Creative:
  • Added /banner for VIP+ -- helps you make custom banners more easily!
  • Added /armorcolor for VIP+ -- make custom colored armor!
  • Added /secretblocks for VIP+ -- allows you to use secret blocks for building!
  • Fixed bug with signs
  • Squashed the bugs that were causing lagspikes & most of the current crash bugs
  • Added a redstone limit; if someone is using an absurd amount of redstone on their plot, it just freezes all of their redstone
  • Added join messages for staff (coming for donors soonTM!)
  • You can now scroll over tp accept/decline messages and it'll show a little popup (so you know you can click it)
  • Text that's put on signs is now passed through the chat filter
  • You can no longer dispense heads/banners

Store:
  • Updated background & theme to make the store look a lot better

Global
  • Fixed some odd tooltip messages
  • When you decline a TP request it'll actually tell you that you did so

Website
  • Fixed a bunch of weird issues (one of them was that people couldn't register new accounts, rip)

Great, it all looks really cool.
 
Hey, Gaurav1234!

This update looks pretty cool! It's a bit disappointing since I'm not a VIP+ yet, but it's awesome to see that you're adding new donor perks! I'm excited for future updates to come. Keep up the great work!

I like how VIP was completely neglected in this update.

Hey, we're donators too.
I'm hoping there's more for VIP in the next update.

The reason there are so many new perks for VIP+ is because no one was buying it before. Right now, VIP is a great starter rank with enough perks to make people want to buy it, it's definitely a step up from default. Though, people weren't interested in buying VIP+ after that, so there was a need to add perks for that rank. There's currently 19 perks from default to VIP, and before the updates there were only 2 (and 2-4 upgraded perks that were pretty much the same, ie more plots/better cosmetics) perks from VIP to VIP+ (there are now 9 perks that do not include upgraded perks). While VIPs are still donators, the rank had more perks compared to the previous one than VIP+ did to VIP.

Nice ideas!

EDIT: VIP+ and Elite and my "ideal ranks" just because of how much they cost (current sale). I mean like, Elite is kind of slightly over the threshold. I'm a kid, therefore, I can not actually pay like £100 for Elite+ (when it's not on sale) because well... I'm a kid. But VIP+ is currently about £15 (or $20) and Elite is around £30 (or $40), which I can afford. I really like the fact that it's VIP+ or above, and not Elite or above, as like Elite is kinda pushing it. VIP is the ideal starter rank, it's pretty basic but affordable (around £8 or $10). Elite+ is over £50 (or $70), which is actually quite a lot for a Minecraft Server. But I do understand why; it's the best rank on the server, it's got W/E perms and lots of really good stuff.

Still, it's a nice starter rank but nothing has changed. A new update every one in a while would be nice. We literally have had no bonuses and it's started to feel like the only feature is the white chat.
 
Well, it is really cheap, especially compared to the other ranks.
 
All these new additions to Creative are awesome, but I really wish the /rp commands could be fixed. It’s overdue, tbh. Otherwise, everything looks pretty cool, and I can’t wait to get back on the server and check out all the new stuff!
 
woo pretty cool update just waiting for the rank join in mine would be "hey what bip bopin the worst player has logged on ready to have your day ruined"

To calrify, I'm pretty sure it means that you cannot use innapropiate characters as they're not allowed in chat and now the signs also work the same as the chat.
Yeh I knew it would make it so you can't put swearing on signs & stuff, but it's a bit weird on other servers - which is why I asked if the same case would be here.
 
Yeah, it just means you can't say something on a sign if you can't in chat, right?
