  1. Important Update - 2/12/2021 On our Discord server, a poll was hosted to determine how we approach SkyBlock and Survival inventories. The original plan (as reflected in the topic) was to postpone migrating either of those gammeodes until 1.17 - at which point both would be reset. The community poll voted instead for a 14-day grace period to allow players to store their inventories in chests in order for their contents to be safe. We'll be going forward with this approach with the 14 day clock starting now. On February 26th (or the most recent time after that date where I have time to perform the migration), Survival and SkyBlock inventories will be reset, with the worlds remaining unaltered. Survival is still most likely going to reset with 1.17 due to worldgen changes, but SkyBlock will NOT be reset with 1.17. The gamemodes will be broken away into their own self-contained servers, much like how Creative and Minigames work as of today - at which the main server as it is currently known will act primarily as the default hub. The following data will be PERMANENTLY LOST after the reset: Inventory and Armor contents XP Levels (take a screenshot of your XP at the moment and we'll restore it manually afterwards) Ender Chest contents Hey, everyone! Got some updates for you folks regarding BungeeCord! As of today, Minigames and Creative have been broken off into their own separate servers. The original plan was to get CUWarps rewritten (and working inter-server), as well as getting cross-server /tp and /tpa working before doing this. However, in the interest of bringing optimizations and improvements sooner rather than later, we've gone ahead and done this early. What does this mean? Let's start with the good news. Any potential lag should be much less noticeable and less frequent. Anytime someone is doing a big WorldEdit (which can sometimes briefly freeze the server), the effects of that will only be felt within the server it was done in. So, if someone does a big WorldEdit in Creative, people in other gamemodes won't be affected whatsoever. And the major one - bugs should both be less common, and be easier to diagnose/fix. However, a few things are still in the works that leave things in a sort of limbo state at the moment. The most immediate one being warps. As of right now, warps for Minigames and Creative will only work if you are already in the appropriate server. This will only be a temporary issue, as the end goal is to rewrite CUWarps entirely and fully replace Essentials' warp system in favor of something based around MySQL instead of a bunch of .yml files - and in doing so, make warps work between servers. Additionally, mail is also not yet available between servers. This, too, will be fixed in due time. It isn't a super high priority as it seems as if mail isn't used that often, but y'know - just in case. Lastly, you'll notice that the Play menu (compass) and Donation Store items that you previously had within the Hub are now replaced with 'Unavailable' items. The donation store item referred to the old CraftingStore shop - which isn't in active use anymore, and the Play menu won't work with any BungeeCord commands. We'll be getting that entire plugin replaced with something a bit better, though regrettably it's quite likely that the menus won't have the same level of depth as before. However, there is one major part of this migration that has yet to be completed - and one that depends on your immediate action. Survival & SkyBlock Previously, we've relied on Multiverse to allow for multiple gamemodes within a single server. This generally worked fine, however as time has gone on, things have degraded enough to where it's begun to negatively impact the player experience. The two main issues are with Nether Portals within Survival and SkyBlock, and a rare (but yet still has happened twice since 1.13) issue that would wipe a single player's inventory contents. The Nether Portal issue has been the most extreme in SkyBlock, where players for whatever reason just would not spawn in the right portal. They would often spawn either on the wrong island, or on a random portal attached to the Nether roof. This may come as a shock, but this isn't intentional at all (/s). Wind tried to fix the issue with a custom plugin called CUNetherPortalPatch, and while it seemed to help in Survival, it hasn't worked so well in SkyBlock. But like before, this has both a good side and a bad side. The good news is that, since these gamemodes now live within their own, isolated servers, Multiverse is no longer required for those gamemodes. Which means that once it is removed, the issues above should be virtually nonexistent (excluding any other plugin or MC bugs). The bad news is that there is no way to migrate existing inventory data out of Multiverse. This means that, in order to leave Multiverse behind, an inventory reset will be required. As such, SkyBlock and Survival still use Multiverse and continue to live within the Main MC server - and will continue doing so until 1.17. This does mean that that the above issues will persist until the next world reset - and that both worlds will in fact reset with 1.17. The original plan was to avoid resetting SkyBlock, but this move has more or less mandated it. Don't worry, as with all past resets the old worlds will be preserved and made available for download - and we'll try to not reset SkyBlock for a while after this. See notice at top of topic for information. Closing Thoughts It's been an interesting process to finally migrate things over to BungeeCord - and we aren't fully done yet. But this marks a significant step forward in making sure the server will be more reliable, stable and just overall better in the future. As with any major change - if you find any bugs, let us know by submitting a bug report. Don't just tell me - I've always got at least 47 things going on, and if you expect me to remember a bug you happen to toss my way casually, chances are I'll forget about it entirely after 20 minutes. So, please - use the bug tracker. It makes life easier for both of us, and helps ensure that the bugs can actually be tracked - and thus actually get fixed. It may seem like a bit of extra and unnecessary work on your part, but having proper bug reports make it much easier for me to diagnose and fix issues - as well as not have to rely on my seemingly shoddy memory to remember each and every one. Oh, and if you happen to recall any old bugs that you want to submit - try and reproduce it again now that we've migrated. Some of the older issues just might be fixed as a result of all this. If they still happen, then by all means - submit it! That's all we've got for now, folks! Stay tuned for additional updates as some of the kinks get ironed out and we work through the growing pains.

  3. Howdy folks! We've got an exciting announcement today! We are officially launching two new minigames: SurvivalGames and Grifblock! SurvivalGames So, yeah. If you've been playing on the server for a bit, you'll know that SurvivalGames has technically been playable for a while now. We wanted to wait for an official launch in order to ensure that all the bugs were worked out. As far as we can tell - things are working as intended, and thus, we're making it official! A handful of maps are currently available, the details (and a screenshot) of which you can see here: https://chaoticunited.net/games/minecraft/maps/survivalgames.html. If you don't care about any of that and just want to get playing, head to /warp survivalgames and go wild! Grifblock Grifblock, however, is brand new - and you won't find it anywhere else. At least, within Minecraft. It's a recreation of Halo's popular Grifball gamemode, but within Minecraft! With the power of the Bukkit API, we've got working Gravity Hammers, Energy Swords, and a small selection of maps at launch. You can find the full list at the link below. The maps Sorting Area and Island may look familiar to you, as they are remakes of two of our Grifball maps from the old ElDewrito server. We plan to get the other maps from ElDewrito rebuilt as well - so keep your eyes peeled for those, which should be done relatively soon™. This plugin was hand-crafted by none other than our very own @Windwhistle. Not only did he make Grifblock, he also recoded the MobArena plugin from scratch - both to allow for new features as well as to make the gamemode finally stable. Show him some well-deserved love! Or else. Full Grifblock map list: https://chaoticunited.net/games/minecraft/maps/grifblock.html Dynmap Yes, the rumors are true! Dynmap has returned to Chaotic United! Not all the worlds are fully rendered out yet, but Survival should be ready for viewing - with the others coming, as usual, soon™. Nothing much more than that in terms of the livemap - you can check it out at http://mc.chaoticunited.net:8123 Well, that's all we've got for now, folks! No extra stuff this time around, just keeping things short and sweet and to the point. Stay safe out there, folks.
  4. So, just yesterday (or earlier today?) I made an announcement on Discord telling people that Factions would be removed in a week if it wasn't played. So far, I've had 0 people asking to keep it and several people asking for its removal - so that's what's happening today. After talking with @Windwhistle a bit last night, I came to the realization that having as many modes as we do may in a sense actually cause more issues. His suggestion was to remove every single gamemode except for Survival - something I am not willing to go through with (unless you guys want it), and while I find that to be very extreme, we are going to dial back our focus on minigames and whatnot and instead focus on the things that made CU great to begin with, primarily survival. Starting today, 2 modes are being removed from the server: Factions and The Arena. Let's go into more detail as to why. The biggest common reason is just that nobody touches it. If I go into any of the other 3 main gamemodes, it's clear that they are all played. From creative spawn, you can go outside and see tons of creations all over the place. Survival, too, has plenty of builds attached to the spawn itself, and more as you go further out. SkyBlock, you can see several islands from the spawn area. But when I go into the factions world, the only clear change from when it was created was a small wooden wall right on the edge of spawn: Additionally, there were only 2 factions that existed that had any members at all. The Arena also had this issue, plus the added bonus of being either outright broken.The original plan was to get a custom plugin to replace the pile of garbage one we had before, but that never happened. We hope to one day revisit the idea when we have more resources to work with (and maybe a paid dev or two), but for now it was just creating clutter. Now as a reminder, Factions can be readded - exactly as they were - if there is demand. It would take nothing more than a couple small config edits and a quick server restart to bring them both back. But, if the demand isn't there, they won't be returning. Now, for those of you with a craving for PvP, we have introduced a feature that some old CU folk should remember: /pvp. In either Survival or Skyblock, you can now do /pvp to enable or disable PVP. If you and another player want to PvP, you both just need to enable PvP. Below, you can read the full changelog for this server update (it's not that long). Be sure to give us your thoughts and feelings on these changes with a reply to the topic!
