Server Update - Latest Fixes, Changes, and Upcoming Work

Hey everyone!

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes to improve and optimize your experience on our Minecraft prison server. This post highlights all the fixes we’ve implemented, the ongoing projects we’re tackling, and a few issues we’re waiting to resolve with our plugin developer. Thank you for your continued support and patience—it means a lot to us!

Recent Fixes and Updates:

We’ve addressed a number of bugs and issues that have been affecting gameplay, server performance, and general stability. Here’s a breakdown of what’s been fixed recently:

• Plugin Translations:

  • Battlepass – Translations have been updated, ensuring all Battlepass-related content is clear and consistent across the server. No more missing text or placeholder messages!
  • BrokenBlock Rewards – The reward system tied to block-breaking events has been fully translated, making it easier to understand and navigate for players of all experience levels.

• Gameplay Fixes:

  • Robots – A bug that caused robots to malfunction or not perform tasks correctly has been fixed. Your robots will now work as intended, assisting with mining and automation!
  • NPC’s – NPC interactions were inconsistent or non-responsive for some players. This has now been resolved, and all NPCs should be fully functional.
  • Pickaxe Shards – Shards weren’t registering correctly in some cases. This fix ensures that shards are properly collected and applied to upgrades.
  • Pets – Issues with pet spawning, abilities, and overall pet behavior have been addressed. Pets should now be reliable companions on your mining journey.

• Server Stability and Performance:

  • MySQL Databases – Several database-related errors were causing performance issues. We’ve optimized and fixed these to ensure the server runs smoothly with minimal lag.
  • KeepAlive Timeout Bug – Players were occasionally being disconnected due to keepAlive timeout errors. This has been fixed to ensure more stable connections.
  • java.net.SocketException (Connection Reset) – This error was a major cause of random disconnections. We’ve isolated and resolved the issue, significantly improving server uptime and player stability.

• User Interface and Player Experience:

  • GUI Menus – Glitches and missing options in various GUI menus have been corrected, ensuring all interfaces work smoothly.
  • Gangs – An issue affecting gang creation, management, and player invitations has been fixed. Gangs are now fully operational.
  • ViaVersion / ViaRewind – We’ve updated and patched these plugins to ensure smoother compatibility for players on different Minecraft versions. You should now be able to join the server from a wider range of versions without running into errors.

In Progress / Need Updating:

While we’ve made significant progress, there are still a few areas that require attention or are in the final stages of completion. Here’s what we’re working on right now:

• Battlepass Config Adjustment – The default pass configuration needs updating to reflect the current Battlepass season. This ensures all players receive the correct rewards and challenges. Expect this to be completed soon.
• Geyser (Bedrock Support) – Once the server is fully live, we’ll be adding Geyser to allow Bedrock players to connect and enjoy the experience alongside Java players. This update will significantly expand our player base, allowing for cross-platform play.
• Vote Sites Transfer – We’re in the process of transferring all vote sites to the new server. This will ensure that every vote you cast contributes properly to your in-game rewards and helps boost the server.
• Store Finalization – The in-game store is about 70% complete. We’re working on finalizing prices, adding the last few items, and ensuring the checkout process runs smoothly. Expect the store to be fully operational soon.
• Website Update (rtxgaming.net) – Our homepage at rtxgaming.net needs to be refreshed to reflect recent updates, new features, and changes. This will ensure new and existing players can easily find all the information they need.

Waiting on Response from Plugin Developer:

We’re currently waiting on the plugin developer to assist with the following issue:

• Mystery Box + Lootbox Not Working Properly – Players have reported issues with Mystery Boxes and Lootboxes not triggering rewards or opening correctly. We’ve contacted the plugin developer and are awaiting a patch or solution. In the meantime, we recommend holding off on using any unopened boxes to avoid potential item loss.
