- Survival, Towny
- Added Spawner Shard rewards to the Mob Arena Crate and Pinata Crate.
- Made changes to how flight works:
- Switched from 2 plugins to 1 plugin for handling infinite & temp flight:
- This change only applies to Towny, Survival already had this change.
- The scoreboard now shows an infinity symbol for ranks with infinite flight.
- Ranks with infinite flight should use `/tfly time` to check temp fly time.
- Removed the green particle trails underneath of temp-flying players.

- The Right Twit NPC is having a Fire Storm sale:

- Optimized the `AbstractFurnaceBlockEntity.burn()` tick call stack performance by 30+ percent.
In other words, furnaces are now less impactful for the server's performance compared to before.
When each item was smelted, the jobs plugin performed permission lookups on each item smelted.
Naturally that was a good place to squeeze out more performance without impacting gameplay.

- Survival, Towny
- Added 5 brand new, never-before-seen sabers to the Left Twit Claw Machine at `/warp LeftTwit`:
- Exar Kun's Saber
- Pong Krell's Saber

- Towny
- The following crates have been rebalanced:
- Vote:

- Sheep & pig spawner
- Single-use safari net

- Premium:
- Removed:
- Silverfish, skeleton, zombie, pig, cow spawner

- Cerulean dust & shard
- Spawner shard
- Wither skeleton, spider, sheep, iron golem, blaze spawner
- Superior:
- Removed:
- Wither skeleton, iron golem, cow, silverfish, skeleton, spider spawner
- Added:
- Cerulean shard & prism
- Spawner shard
- Blaze, magma cube, cod spawner
- The new items (cerulean, spawner shards, etc) do not yet serve a purpose.
This is intended, those items will become useful in a future content update.
- A new easter egg has been created in spawn. OwO
- Survival, Towny
- Increased character limit for Player Warp names from 10 to 16.
- Renamed `/bp` daily quest "Autoclicker" to "Tap Master".

- Towny
- Gave 'PlayerTime' Claim Flag to Panda rank:
- After setting, leave then re-enter the claim for the flag to take effect.
- Leaving a claim with this flag will reset your time to the world's time.
- `/setclaimflag PlayerTime <day|noon|night|midnight>`
- Ignoring players now uses the same plugin as Towny:
- You will need to re-ignore anyone who you previously had ignored.
- `/ignore <player>` to ignore a player.
- `/unignore <player>` to unignore a player.
- `/ignore` (without specifying someone) to see who you have ignored.
- Towny, Survival
- Made changes to the anti-cheat to reduce automatic punishments for flagged false-positives.
- Survival
- Improved parity with Towny's redstone behavior:
- Fixes for observer block behavior and scheduling.
- Fixes redstone clock breakage under normal conditions.
- We want redstone behavior to be similar across our network, so you can re-use redstone designs and knowledge.
Currently on Survival that isn't quite the case, certain redstone clocks simply freeze up when you fly away for example.
That shouldn't happen and after tonight's automatic reboot, Survival & Towny should be a close match going forward.
- Increased willingness for mobs to stack:
- Speed up the interval from 100 to 75 ticks.
- Nearby mobs requirement was changed from 8 to 6.
- Increased search radius from 10 to 12 blocks.
- Capped naturally spawning mobs stack size to 6.
Mobs originating from spawners are unaffected by this change.
- Increased the cap and speed of natural mob spawning.
- Increased drop rate of mechanist spawn eggs for natural mobs.
- While we greatly appreciate the ingenuity of the Survival community, making huge natural mob grinders to have a large continuous supply of spawn eggs isn't what we had in mind when designing this season of Survival.
However we do understand the appeal of them so we're going to compromise here.
To encourage a more active play style, we'll be limiting the stack size of natural mobs to 6, while raising both the spawn egg drop chances and the amount of total mobs that can spawn at one time in the server.
Allowing these grinders to still be functional, but requiring you to be active.
- Fixed spelling of Axolotl kit's leggings to say "LEGGINGS" instead of "CLEGGINGS".
- Towny

- Prestige 10: 3500 Chest Shops
- Survival, Towny
- Replaced `/bp` daily quest "Murder Mystery" (kill 2 players) with "Bee Keeper" (extract 15 honey bottles)
Currently in Survival's daily quest rotation, will apply when Towny's rotation includes this quest.
- Survival
- Renamed the "Quests Crate" to be called "Milestones Crate".
We believe this name better suits the purpose of this crate.
- Rules
- Updated "UNFAIR ADVANTAGES" rule to include usage of the `F3 + T` keybind.
- Clarified Towny's "Misuse of ADC" rule with more allowed advertisement types:

- Replaced the Kill Player quests with non-PVP quests in the Battlepass (`/bp`).

This should ensure `/rtp` lands you on solid, usable ground more consistently.
- Survival
- Added a new NPC called The Underling (aka the Mechanist's son):
- Located in the side room at `/warp Mechanist`.
- The Underling offers spawners that are not available in The Mechanist.
One key difference is that The Underling spawners are not intended for economy.
- The Underling currently offers Cave Spider, Bee, and Frog spawners.
- More spawner types will appear in the future as the season progresses.
- Added small chance for spawn egg to drop for these natural-spawned mobs when killed:
- Rules + Gamemodes
- Clarified the "IMPERSONATION" rule to explicitly include:
- Creating a player warp (`/pw`) with the same name as an existing server warp (`/warp`).
- Existing warps matching a server warp will be transferred to the server and relocated.
- Started removal of player warps and homes found in server locations (spawn, mob arena, etc):
- Player warps are intended for usage in the overworld, nether and end dimensions.
- They are being removed due to being used to provide unfair advantages, such as:
- Locking the warp to only be usable by yourself or certain players.
- Obtaining access to locations with intent to get there faster than intended.
- Updated Towny's "Misuse of ADC" rule to clarify what the intended use of the advertising channel is:
- Advertisements must solely relate to the player warp, shop, nation, or town it is advertising.
- All chat rules, such as: excessive caps, spam, etc; still apply to the advertising channel.
- Wiki
- Updated the Towny wiki to clarify and explain what the town rank "helper" is able to do.
- Rules
- Survival
- Created `/warp Nostalgia` for faster access to the Nostalgia crate location.
- Survival
- Added a new `/warp Marina` for quick access to the Fisherman and...

- 64x Gravel
- $100 in-game money
- This update was inspired by community feedback to make the copious amounts of
Smooth Quartz Blocks in the nether convertible into regular Quartz Blocks.
- Added Quartz Blocks to the Blocks Shop NPC in `/warp shop` as an alternative.
- Increased the spawn rate and spawn cap of naturally spawning passive mobs.
This should make it much easier to find passive mobs throughout the overworld.
- Towny
- Updated Pinata Party & the Pinata Crate:

- Changed the formatting of chestshop signs:

- Replaced 500 Coins with 2000 Coins.
- Replaced 30 Spawner Shards with 1 Profit Collection Catalyst.
- Replaced 45 Spawner Shards with 1 Profit Collection Lattice.
- Replaced 60 Spawner Shards with 6 Profit Collection Panels.

- Updated the `/quests` menu to provide additional information with a new layout.
- Fixed an issue where stacked mobs could leave behind their nametags after dying or merging with another stack.
- Survival
- Mob Arena: Fixed an issue that allowed shields to block unblockable attacks from enemies in the Corruption zone.

- Added a low chance to receive a short de-buff of poison and slowness effects if hit.
- Added chance of getting a Mob Arena key when a Corruption mob is slain.
- Significantly increased Mob Arena experience gained by killing Corruption mobs.
- The Corruption biome is designed to be a difficult experience, where obtaining the 5th tier of Pandora's Box Challenge rewards is not guaranteed. That being said, we have heard and implemented your feedback to make it more skill based, so skillful players are able to get higher tiers of rewards overall. For example, you are now able to block some attacks to give you some breathing room. At the same time, we have modified the Demented Pixie mob so a skilled player can more easily remove them from the arena and have a chance to earn Mob Arena keys too! We hope these changes provide a balanced and rewarding experience for all players who participate in a Pandora's Box Challenge. We will continue to monitor and make adjustments when necessary to balance gameplay mechanics whilst preserving the fun.

- Changed crafting recipe for Hoppers:

- Replaced the iron ingot in the bottom middle slot with a lava bucket
This change wasn't made lightly. After several rounds of internal discussion, we've updated the recipe to address a growing performance issue on Towny. Hopper speeds have been slowing down over time due to the sheer number of hoppers being crafted and placed without consideration. To help reduce unnecessary hopper use and protect server performance, we've made the recipe require more steps.
There are currently hundreds of thousands of actively ticking hoppers across the server. Each one constantly checks for items to move and for inventory updates, even when idle. These checks stack up quickly and push the server to its limits. As the load increases, the system can't keep up with all the hopper activity, and their transfer speeds naturally slow down as a result. The more hoppers are placed, the worse this problem becomes for everyone.
We've already implemented numerous server software patches to make hoppers as efficient as possible, and we're running on top-tier hardware. Despite all of that, the sheer volume of hoppers has reached a point where slowdown is unavoidable. After weighing all available options, we believe this recipe change is the best course of action that we can take to try and fix hopper throughput speed.
- Towny
- Added Pale Oak logs to woodcutter job
- Global
- Improved Bedrock support for the Head Database (/hdb) plugin:
- Now a small selection of skulls (~1450 total) have the correct appearance (instead of being a steve head) in the /hdb menu.
- Due to Bedrock limitations, we are unable to resolve issues with all skulls. Only around ~1450 of them.
- Towny
- Rolled out changes to significantly reduce intermittent networking issues:
These issues manifested as severe latency spikes, crash-esque disconnects, or as severe lag.
This fix took several full days of work from multiple team members behind the scenes.
Diagnosing wasn't straightforward as we had to build custom tools to track down the culprit.

- Over the past two weeks, we have seen a sharp increase in 75th percentile MSPT (from 45 to 70) and a drop in TPS (from 20 to 14).
- Significant amounts of performance loss are coming from Observer blocks and their interactions, which are responsible for 13-17% of Towny's average MSPT.
- To help alleviate these performance concerns and ensure that all players can enjoy a lag-free experience, we have implemented changes to per-chunk block limits.
- Observer
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 96, #5 = 80, #10 = 80, #20 = 80, #30 = 50
- old limit: 128
- new limit: 80
- Barrel
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 6840, #5 = 388, #10 = 374, #20 = 233, #30 = 212
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 400
- Dispenser
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 64, #5 = 48, #10 = 42, #20 = 33, #30 = 32
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 48
- Dropper
- top loaded chunks #1 = 56, #5 = 42, #10 = 36, #20 = 30, #30 = 21
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 48
- Top loaded chunks are the number of placed blocks observed sorted and grouped by chunks.
- For example: Observer #1 = 96 means that in the given scan of the loaded chunks in the world, 96 was the highest amount found in any chunk.
- We will continue to monitor server performance and community feedback closely, making further adjustments as needed to maintain an optimal balance between gameplay and performance.
- Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve performance and maintain a smooth gameplay experience!
