Added 2024-04-03 21:34:55 +0000 UTCProgress towards completing 1.4.4.9 updates
Survival is now officially on 1.4.4.9, with only the weekly world generation that supplies it with worlds needing to be updated to 1.4.4.9.
Our remaining dimensions to be updated to this version are now: Build and Gamemodes (but not Zombies/Duel)
I believe both of these are well on track to being finalised soon. Once this happens the US server will have its entrypoint updated, marking the end of our use of a compatibility layer until the next game update releases.
Rolling out a new Supporter Perk
Once we reach the stage above, we will be able to start rolling out the nickname system to supporters, who will be able to nickname themselves.
Potential Maintenance Work in the US Region
We are currently considering an update to the US server region that will require temporarily closing it while it is updated. This update would enable us to better handle downtime in this region and mitigate risks if our server provider no longer decides to give us the machine they are currently providing. If this goes ahead, US players can expect temporarily increased ping because they will be redirected to the EU region. This will be announced on our usual channels once we have confirmation.
Future Changes
We are likely not going to make any more changes after we are fully on 1.4.4.9 because the next big piece of work will be providing compatibility with 1.4.5 and then updating to 1.4.5. For this reason, we are unlikely to add any new features or big changes to the server until then.
Thanks to all patrons for your continued support. The server is not free or cheap to run, but your financial backing helps keep it running optimally and provides us with more opportunities to improve it.
