Server Update: Exciting Bug Fixes, New Features, and Future Plans!

We’re thrilled to announce that the server is up and running smoothly, and the development team is hard at work ironing out any lingering bugs. Here’s a rundown of what’s been fixed so far, along with some exciting updates and plans for the future.

Recent Bug Fixes:

1. Dragon Burst Enchant Nerf: The Dragon Burst Enchant was previously overpowered, granting players double rewards for everything. This has now been nerfed to bring it back in line with other gameplay elements and ensure a more balanced experience for everyone.

2. Crate Fixes: Crates were handing out rewards that didn’t scale properly with player level and rank. This issue has been resolved, and crates now give out rewards that are appropriate and scale based on your rank, making progression more satisfying and worthwhile.

3. Vote System Integration: We’ve fully integrated the vote system, and it’s working seamlessly with VoteParty. This means that every vote counts toward triggering VoteParties, where everyone on the server can enjoy bonus rewards. Don’t forget to vote daily!

4. /fly Enabled for Cells and Mines: To improve safety and convenience, we’ve enabled the /fly command in Cells and Mines. This change ensures that players don’t accidentally fall to their deaths or get caught by lasers while mining or exploring.

5. Admin GUI Bug Fix: A bug caused some admin GUI panels to be visible to all players, which created confusion and potential issues. This has now been fixed, and only authorized staff can access these panels.

6. IP Blacklisting to Prevent Botting Attacks: We’ve taken extra security measures by blacklisting common botting IP addresses. This will help prevent brute force attacks, making the server more secure and enjoyable for all legitimate players.

7. Gemshop Balancing: The Gemshop has been reworked to match the exponential output of the GemFinder enchant. The shop’s value has been increased to reflect this, but we may adjust it further in future updates depending on feedback and balance concerns.

8. Custom Enchants Optimized: One of the most significant backend improvements is that custom enchants are now processed asynchronously. This means that enchant calculations are done off the main server thread, making the server faster, more responsive, and less prone to lag during intense gameplay.

9. Additional Backend Optimizations: We’ve made various other optimizations to improve server stability and performance. These changes should result in a smoother experience for everyone, even during peak times.

What’s Coming Next?

We have some exciting plans in the pipeline! One of the biggest updates we’re working on is /donor mines. These special mines will be significantly larger and come with exclusive perks for those who contribute to the server’s growth. Expect additional benefits like higher resource yields and exclusive enchantments.
