Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone an awesome 2017!

(Oh and... special new years kit available at spawn, today only!)

A big thank you to all those who've donated already, it really is appreciated!

Jobs Have Arrived!

Jobs are now available on the server!

All jobs are available to players of Resident rank or above.

The available jobs (11 in total) are:

Woodcutter - Miner - Baker - Digger - Farmer - Hunter

Crafter - Fisherman - Weaponsmith - Brewer - Enchanter

Pay for each job has an hourly limit of $90 to start with, however they each have 32 levels you can progress through to gradually increase your limits to $152 per hour!

Things you'll want to know:

• You can only join one job at a time.
• If you leave a job only your current level will be saved, not progress towards the next one.
• As well as money you'll gain points, which can be spent in the jobs shop.
• Even after you hit the money limit you continue gaining experience towards the next level, the limit for that is around 4 times higher than for money or points.
• Jobs have completely replaced the time based hourly payout, with possible hourly earnings now around 20-25% higher than before (plus rewards!). 

Note: To prevent cheating jobs that involve breaking blocks have penalties for placing them. 

For example: A Woodcutter getting 5 points/xp/$ per log broken will get -5 for placing logs while that job is active.

Enjoy!

Down For Maintenance

The server is down to carry out the following maintenance:

This is expected to take 1 hour, I'll update here as always.

Note: The server will be up but whitelisted for some of this time.

Update - 10:59: The server is back up and the whitelist has been removed!

I'll update here as always.

MC 1.11.2 & Tweaks

We're currently waiting for Spigot to fix a couple of issues with 1.11.2, as soon as that's done they'll make it the recommended build and I'll do some testing. All being well I'll update the server within a few days of starting testing. Basically, it's coming soon!

You've probably noticed I've made a lot of tweaks over the past few days, which has obviously led to me being afk a lot while I'm doing server stuff. As a general rule if I'm in vanish and not showing on /list I'm probably afk. It's been great to get the chance to chat/play a lot more though and once things settle down in the new year I'll be able to chat a lot more!

So, the tweaks, here's a basic list of what's been changed over the last day or two:

• A few bug fixes, mainly relating to kits & ranking up.
• Fixed a couple of permission issues (including VIP flight).
• Anti-hack tweaking. Still a work in progress but coming along nicely bar the fast-hack bug. 
• The shop has been re-balanced (still a work in progress) to make farming etc pay more and fix villager trading effectively being too overpowered (emerald sell prices lowered).

Thanks to everyone that's helped by reporting issues!
