We're Back with Updates!
« on: 24 Sep 2016, 13:49:33 »

The server is now back online after the planned maintenance earlier today. This update has brought in a number of fixes and some updates to the Wilderness and a lot of the behind-the-scenes features ready for the final step to allow name changing to come later in the month.

Included in this change were some of the bigger "Summer Updates" to the Wilderness, plus some other things. Here's some of the more important changes:
  • A new command to check how many free Wilderness chunks you've got left able to be claimed as part of our free chunks system. Simply use /wild free in-game to find out how many you can claim before you'll have to pay some in-game money. (Work item)
  • A small adjustment to the pricing of the Wilderness chunks (if you choose to pay for them), this is likely to be adjusted down again in the future too though
  • Slime blocks can now be pushed using pistons in the Wilderness too! (Work item)
  • Sponges now work in all worlds! (Work item)
  • Several Wilderness bugs/fixes and small changes to make things easier to use, including:
    • An alias of /wild chunks list, you can now just use /wild list
    • /wild go will no longer land you in water, and will give you a minute of protection when used
    • Fixed: Daylight sensors which have been set to night mode can be toggled to day mode without building rights
    • Fixed: Blocks which are more than one block wide can be placed outside the edge of owned land
    • Fixed: Dark oak fence gates aren't protected
    • Several command descriptions and help information has been reworded
    (General Work item)
  • The 'Moderator' title in-game has been shortened back to just 'Mod'
While it's not quite ready yet, the main reason this downtime was longer than a normal update is because it involved converting most of the data we store over to a new system ready to facilitate name changing which will be coming in just a few days now (keep an eye out for that post) :D!

If you notice any problems please do let me know.

Just a reminder than the Chunk of the Month competition is still on-going for September, find out more about it here. Plus we'll be bringing back regular events next month!
