That’s right folks, next week we’ll be doing a few changes! The main one is that we’ll be updating to version 1.21.8! We can’t go any higher than that as we’re still waiting on other core plugins to be updated, but 1.21.8 is ready.

From Tuesday March 3rd the server will be in maintenance mode while we update the servers and do some testing. We’re unsure how long it will take, but it might be a few days. It’s important to note that the current Survival world will NOT be changing! It’ll just be a minor version update, but it does mean that we’ll have Happy Ghasts to play with!

An important point of difference is that you won’t be able to find them in the Nether naturally. Rather you’ll have to craft them manually.

Another thing we’ll be doing is a pretty big overhaul of the minigames.

KitPVP has been fun for a while, but it’s also been problematic of late, and some aspects of it just weren’t suited to the maps we had, or what our players wanted, so we’ve decided to change it up for two different PVP options!

We’ll put in a Duels option for the 1 on 1 PVP fans featuring completely different kits and arenas, plus the return of Hunger Games! HG was a plugin we had at the very beginning of LibaryCraft, and it’s back in development, which is very exciting. With Hunger Games you’ll need to explore a brand new map for chests which contain loot. Then it’s last player standing!

As of right now we’ve turned off the KitPVP maps and have updated the PVP area in the Minigames Lobby. Meowlicky, _Heebyy and CopperJay have changed the build to suit our new setup, so you can get an idea of what is coming!

We’ll also be completely rebuilding the Parkour course as the new build got in the way. New things! Hooray!

If you have any questions, let us know! We’re pretty excited about these changes – we’ve been working very hard in the background to get it all lined up. More information will be out soon on the new PVP modes.
