What happens now?

On Monday 3rd July at 10am UTC the network will go into maintenance mode, until estimated Thursday 6th July 7pm UTC. We shall keep you updated along the way! This time we shall be updating not only the survival server, but the lobby, hardcore and creative world too!

Why can’t we play straight away?

When we update to 1.20, we will need to update all of the plugins and ensure that there are no bugs or glitches. You have to remember, that our world isn’t a “super vanilla” world. The last thing we want is double barrels, and players 6 row ender chests to be empty! This time will also enable us to prepare the exciting extras we have planned for 1.20.

Will the world be reset?

NO. NO NO. If I could put a gif here I would. The world, and everything you have created shall be just as you left it. We are not resetting our world. We love this world, and all the fantastic things we have built together. Any old chunks which haven’t been explored will be updated to 1.20. Many of you may know this process as “trimming”. We shall trim the unused chunks within the world, and update them to 1.20. We can keep our awesome builds, our homes, our loot, and still have the awesome fun that 1.20 shall bring!

Why will the update take so long?

Our Survival world is huge! In fact, it is 300gb huge. This usually take me 10 – 12 hours to download, before I can actually start trimming the world. In addition, we need to update all of the servers, plugins, and include some new additions.

What will I do with my spare time?

I know it sucks being away from TogetherCraft! And, I guess I might miss you for a few days…. This maintenance, and update time will give you the chance to say hello to your friends, and family. Watch some films, and take time for yourself! So relax, and rest well to have sleepless nights exploring the new Cherry Blossom biome! Below is a list of things you can do whilst you wait for us to update everything:

• Speak to your family
• Speak to your kids
• Watch all Lord of the Rings films
• Watch all of Harry Potter
• Binge watch a TV series
• Learn to cook lasagne
• Build a rockit statue in your garden
• Call your mother
• Read a book
• Play a game of monopoly
• Write a love letter to rockit
• Learn to knit
• Clean up your computer desktop
• Organise your download files folder
• Create something cool in single player
• Clean the house

Thank you all for your continued support, I am very excited to play 1.20 together. Have a great rest of the week!

All the advert description said was that you had to find a lever to escape! How hard can it be to find the correct lever?

SATURDAY 6th May – 7pm UTC – Balloon Brawl!
Due to the recent spike of gold theft in Wideridge, the local Sheriff made the decision to stop transporting their gold shipments by horse, and cart. Instead, he suggested that they use hot air balloons to transport the gold safely. This was working perfectly for weeks, until the 4 groups of local bandits decided to create their own hot air balloons to steal the gold. The thought of sharing the gold with other bandits has caused a massive balloon brawl! Each group of bandits wants all the gold for themselves. These local bandits must now try, and steal all the gold for themselves. If your team loses all of its gold… your team is out! The team who are the last to lose all their gold shall be the winners.

It has been a really fiddly update, and we almost lost the Hardcore world comepletely. Lets just say that it is a great thing that we keep a backup.

RESOURCE WORLD UPDATED!
The Resource World has been refreshed! There is lots of fresh blocks for you to mine, taste and discover. The Resource World can be accessed by visiting the Portal in the Capitol.

With the addition of the updated resource world. We would like to add a new rule due to previous complaints. The main rule being to limit the number of public farms! Food farms are perfectly fine but providing other public farms to everyone so easily takes away the hard work put into those who have player shops. I totally understand why everyone does it, but providing everything sometimes so freely to everyone just takes away the fun of survival.

NEW DEATH MESSAGES!
We have added an additional 73 new death messages, and are excited for you to experience them.

CRAFTABLE STRIPPED LOGS!
Yes, you read that correctly! You can now craft all wood logs into stripped logs. Simply place 4 of the wood type with 1 magma cream in a crafting table, and with the potency of the magma cream it shall strip the logs for you! This also includes Nether types.

CRAFTABLE DEAD BUSH!
We are all creative beans, and sometimes finding a dead bush to complete your build can be a pain in the butt. Therefore, you can now craft dead bush! Simply place azalea into a furnace. That’s it! You shall then get a dead bush in return.

NEW UPDATES CHANNEL!
We have a new ⁠updates-changes channel! This is where I can post changes, updates and other little things which I may have tweaked around with.

BUGS!
A lot of plugins, and back end features have been updated! So, if you do find a bug or a glitch… please message ModMail in our Discord server with the problem so we can fix it as quickly as possible.

I would like to thank you for your patience, and for allowing me a few hours to update our Minecraft home! You shall be able to join the server at 7pm UTC. See you all online soon!

Doc is really jealous of Justin’s new large wheat field, and just doesn’t have the time to keep competing! They have decided instead to just destroy Justin’s wheat field, so their field will be larger! However, whilst visiting shopping Justin heard about this plan. Now both of them need your help to destroy the other players wheat! Can you help? This really is a Farmers Feud.
