Earlier today I made several changes to mcMMO, hopefully positive adjustments to experience gains for the different skills. This included fixing gaining mcMMO XP for herbalism and alchemy; which you should now be able to do for both skills.

As with all changes I am open to feedback and if you decide the changes haven't been positive I'm open to reviewing them again.

To celebrate the return of herbalism and alchemy it'll be 2x mcMMO for the rest of the weekend!

The Mining World, Nether and End temporary worlds have been reset.

This time we're going to see if we can keep these worlds running for a little longer than in the past; the next reset will be planned for August/September (a more firm time will be announced closer to then). To allow you to keep exploring throughout the months and to keep fresh things going, the spawns will keep changing as per the recent change to randomise them, plus all three worlds now have a border that will slowly expand and will...

As part of future changes to how we're dealing with the temporary worlds; from today all of the temporary worlds (Mining World, Nether and End) will now have their spawn change to a random spot once an hour. This will continue to happen all of the time; each hour it'll be changed to a different spot.

If you visit /warp mining, /warp nether or /warp end the portal will take you to a different spot every hour, allowing you to easily find new areas of the map and to keep...

Earlier today the server was successfully updated to run full Minecraft 1.12.2. We therefore recommend that you all now play using 1.12.2 to get the most out of your experience; for now you can still connect with older versions, but this may change in the future.

There aren't really any big changes for you to notice between 1.12 and 1.12.2 but it allows us to be up-to-date and means other things behind-the-scenes can be updated accordingly too. This also means you can now properly use the recipe book in 1.12.2...

I know that many of you have been asking for it to return for quite a while now. I'm pleased to announce that the Recipe Book has now returned to the server for all Members+!

Hopefully this makes crafting for you all a lot easier.

For now you'll have to be in exactly Minecraft 1.12 (not 1.12.1 or .2).
