DigginChickin's Helpful Enderman

DigginChickin got a bit of a surprise when an Enderman 

decided to help test her new minecart system...

Seems the cart hit him on the way around,

but who knows maybe he got in deliberately!

He looks pretty eager to go that's for sure!

Don't forget you can get $150 per image if you submit 

fun/awesome screenshots and we use them on the site!

Shop & Other Changes

Based on player feedback I've made several changes, here's the details:

Shop...

• Several sell price increases for rarer items.
• Elytra & Nether Star buy & sell price changes, to encourage player trading.
• Added Clown Fish, Puffer Fish & Apples.
• All potion prices increased by $50, as players are now earning more.

Witches hut...

• Increased value of Poisonous Potato & Rabbits Foot.

Commands...

• Added /craft to the Commands page, as a shorter alternative to /workbench.

Flight...

• The price of 4 hours use of /fly has been increased from $250 to $350, with the 12 hour option increasing from $450 to $650 (double the 4 hour price, minus $50, as before).

Loot Crates...

• Spin time (time to get prize) decreased a bit more, now reduced by a total of 70%.
• These have had some further tweaks, with a few changes to each crate aimed at balancing and making the lower crates more worthwhile for established players.

Voting...

Players were finding it a bit tedious to open 5 low level loot crates after voting, so...

• You'll no longer get an Uncommon Crate Key for every vote.
• You'll get 1 x Uncommon Crate Key & 1 x Rare Crate Key for voting on all 5 sites.
• You'll still get $50 per vote and $150 bonus for voting on all 5 sites in a day.
• I also changed the voting links for 3 of the sites a little, to make voting faster.

Enjoy!

Jobs Improvements

Based on player feedback and recent plugin updates I've made several changes to how jobs work:

• Starter pay increased from $80 to $100.
• Maximum hourly increased from $206 to $292.
• Maximum hourly exp increased by around 10%. 
• Some minor pay amount tweaks to provide better balance.
• Virtually all block placing penalties removed, this is now handled another way.

The changes mean that players can earn at least 25% more per hour, level up (and so increase earnings) slightly faster and no longer have to be mindful of what blocks they place whilst doing certain jobs.

I'm also trialling Job Bonus Time, which gives boosts to players at set times of day. For now only a single boost is set up but I may add more if it proves popular. Here's the details:

• Between 6 am & 6 pm (UK time) on Wednesday & Thursday all jobs give double exp!

I chose those days and times as they are usually the quietest times of the week.

Enjoy!

Down For Maintenance

As Monday mornings are usually quiet I've taken the server down for maintenance as follows:

• Full backup.
• Update 3 plugins to latest version (minor bug fixes only) and test.

This shouldn't take more than 45 minutes, as always I'll update here when done.

12:15 - All done, players can now connect again!

Make More From Your Crops

I've added some extra items to the shop, aimed at allowing you to make more money from certain crops by crafting and selling foods.

The food items added are; Pumpkin Pie, Beetroot Soup, Mushroom Stew & Cake.

Enjoy!

Improved Voting Rewards

I decided to give voting rewards a bit of a boost so I've made the following changes:

• New $150 bonus for voting on all 5 sites on the same day.
• The top 3 players of the week bonus has been increased from $100 to $500.
• The top 3 players of the month bonus has been increased from $150 to $1000.

The more votes we get the more the server gets noticed and the more new players we get so we really do appreciate every single one.

Enjoy!
