Background CUCraftingPlus was originally developed as a means to explore possible options for having truly "custom" blocks. At the time, the only known method for achieving custom blocks relied on applying particles or other effects to existing blocks - such as the Durite Block, which was simply a Purple Glazed Terracotta with particles at the time. Initially, development was centered around the idea of using item frames and placing custom models within them to represent blocks. Later, however, it was discovered that Note Blocks could have custom models/textures applied based on the instrument and note. From that point onward, the plugin's direction was shifted to account for this - however the original Item Frame-based blocks were retained, as they can still be useful at times. For more information on these techniques, see the Custom Block Techniques page. The central goal of the plugin since its inception, however, was always to build a framework that allowed for new content to be easy to create, and easy to maintain. The plugin is designed from the ground up to be expandable, and has become the sole plugin responsible for all of Chaotic United's custom Survival content. In the future, support for custom entities, mobs, and bosses are planned - to allow for similarly easy authoring of basic mobs, as well as custom bosses. Version History

Background Teddy's Castle can be entered by using the portal within Survival spawn, or by using either the /warp teddy or /teddy tpdung commands. Upon entering, the player can explore the area or proceed directly ahead to reach the entrance to the boss room. The entrance is a horizontal circular gate in the ground. Currently, starting the fight has no real requirements, nor does the castle have any sort of incentive for exploring the rest of the area. These are issues that are planned to be remedied, however there is currently no set date for when or if this will happen.

Background The Ancient Dungeon was created as a secondary location to contain both General Graardor and all of the associated Ancient Monsters, such as the Ancient Paladin and Ancient Archer. Previously, these mobs would periodically spawn in the overworld - however due to their high difficulty, it was decided that they would be better suited to a dungeon all their own. The dungeon previously could be entered by opening the portal within the Ancient Temple with a Dungeon Key. Currently, however, the dungeon is completely inaccessible by normal means. If one were to somehow enter the dungeon, it would be entirely empty and devoid of mobs. There are plans to reintroduce the dungeon once again and restore its functionality, however no exact time frame has been provided. History Main MC Server MC 1.16 Added the Ancient Dungeon MC 1.17 Ancient Dungeon is now inaccessible, as MagicStuff is no longer being updated Gallery
