We’re updating to 1.20.1!

On By John GeijsmanIn New Worlds, Updates

You read that right! Thank you all so very much for waiting so patiently, but we’re practically good to go for updating LibraryCraft to 1.20.1! The plugins are ready, with only one that we’re not sure about, but all things going well, 1.20.1 will be coming to the server next week, ideally being ready for play after school on the 25th August!

To make this work, the server will be unavailable for play for a few days, from Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th August. It’s longer than we’ve had before, but we’ve got some work to do! The actual updates, world uploads and preloads, testing, plugins set up and more testing.

What will change?

  • Obviously, 1.20Survival will be coming! It’s a brand new world, with a brand new inventory. To make use of the new cherry blossom biome, we’ve gone with a Japanese Village style spawn area. You will not be able to transfer items over from 1.19Survival. We’re almost ready to go with the spawn area, thanks to the hard work of the Builder and Mod teams!
  • 1.19Survival will still be available, but play will most likely be all on 1.20Survival.
  • The Warp Ship will be swapped over for the new airship.
  • More a back-end thing, but our Holograms plugin will be swapped out for something better – the one we have been using isn’t supported any more!
  • 1.20Survival won’t appear on Dynmap for a few weeks, to encourage natural exploration.
  • The map will most likely be around 6000×6000 or bigger.
  • Public Nether and End gates will not appear in the spawn area straight away. These will come in the first few weeks.
  • The /gwarp 119Spawn will be removed and replaced with /gwarp 120Spawn. If you want to go to 1.19 Spawn, you’ll need to use the gate at the Warp Ship.
  • Claims will still exist in 119Survival, however if you need more claim blocks, you can either play more, or unclaim some land in 119Survival.
    • As was the rule in all our previous Survival worlds, you are NOT allowed to claim areas of land to reserve resources. Claims are for builds only.
    • You are also not allowed to claim any areas of villages or Ancient Cities. Villages and Cities are for everyone to enjoy.

Remember, if you find yourself unwhitelisted next week, don’t panic! Just be patient, and check the website, and Discord if you have it. Bring on 1.20 and all the new stuff!
