Minecraft 1.2 - Release!
We have now updated our Minecraft server to fully support Minecraft, version 1.2! With this update there have been some large changes.
With 1.1 we implemented factions - something that a lot of people loved and a lot of people hated. We agreed to review the situation after a suitable amount of time, and then either stick with it, or do a reform. The primary reason for implementing factions was because we needed a urgent solution to the problems of HawkEye, and there was no feasible substitute. Now there is.
So with 1.2 after much debate, we have decided to remove factions and return to a survival server! We have implemented a new plugin similar to HawkEye, but much more efficient. A more detailed list of changes follows:
- Factions removed - new anti-grief rollback system implemented.
- The 'Guest' rank has been renamed to 'Unregistered'.
- The Ender Dragon drops much more money.
- The Ender Dragon & Ghasts now do block damage.
- Chat formatting has been rewritten.
- New database format to optimise the server.
- The command '/money top' now works again and is updated every 5 minutes.
- A new creature loot system has been implemented.
- Citizens removed due to compatibility issues.
- Rewrote the vote plugin to be much less laggy and fix a few bugs.
With version 1.2:
- Player vs. Player is only enabled within The Ender and The Nether.
- Griefing is not allowed.
- Donation ranks can get their regions protected again.
- There will be more in-game events.
Furthermore, with 1.2 we opted for a full reset. This was to accommodate for the 'mess' created within 1.1 and to allow us to have a fresh start. It also allows us to have a more competitive economy and use the new features and optimisations implemented with version 1.2:
- All inventories reset.
- Map reset.
- Economy reset.
- New 1.2 map generated.
- New features, mobs and zones enabled.
- Much more stable and bug free server.
Of course, bugs will happen with this update that we did not anticipate and we did not found/see previously. Please remain calm and be patient, and report and bugs found to us if not already reported.
We hope you continue to play with us at ChaoticUnited and wish all our players the best,
