Hello, Happy Ghasts!

A Happy Ghast being used as an elevator

Good morning! We recently updated from Minecraft 1.21.4 to 1.21.10. There’s a lot to cover, so I’ll link to the Minecraft Wiki to show what changed.

Under the hood, Livecraft has not changed any plugins or features, so you can play exactly as you used to, now with all the new features! Areas that have already been explored will not have new blocks like leaf litter, so to find them make sure to adventure somewhere new. Have fun!

  • Minecraft 1.21.9 – The Copper Age
    • Lots of new copper items
    • Copper golems
    • Shelves
      • Minecraft 1.21.10 Hotfix
  • Minecraft 1.21.6 – Chase the Skies
    • Happy Ghast
    • Player locator bar
    • New music
    • Tears music disk
    • Craftable saddles
    • Fog
    • 1.21.7 Hotfix:
      • Added “Lava Chicken” music disk
      • Added Dennis painting
  • Minecraft 1.21.5 – Spring to Life
    • New mob variants
    • New plant life
    • Spawn egg textures changed

Now running 1.21.4, goodbye map resets!!

Livecraft has been updated to Minecraft 1.21.4, including all plugins. Aside from a minor issue impacting the seeeeeecret cake room and the parkour course tracker at spawn, everything is working as expected!

Separately, I have made the decision that Livecraft will no longer have map resets. The map we currently have will be the “permanent” map for Livecraft. With every major update, the server will have uninhabited chunks trimmed. This means if you explore somewhere new, you will get the new Minecraft features such as trial chambers, pale gardens, and whatever is new in the future.

Lastly, I am going to be putting more focus into the Livecraft website as the website has ironically outlived some of the chat platforms we’ve used to discuss on like Hangouts and Skype!

Tricky Trials!

Livecraft has been updated to Minecraft 1.21.1! There are a few noteworthy changes listed below.

Plugin Changes

  • We have migrated from BlockLocker (Lockette) to Bolt. This change now makes chests private when placed and commands are used to unlock or share them. All previous [Private] signs will still exist and will be converted to Bolt protections.
  • Updated Geyser to improve Bedrock support.

Datapack Changes

  • Cauldron Concrete: Convert concrete powder to concrete by throwing it into a cauldron
  • Cauldron Mud: Convert dirt to mud by throwing it into a cauldron
  • Dragon Drops: The Ender Dragon now drops 1 elytra and 1 dragon egg upon its death
  • Mini Blocks: Get mini blocks from stonecutters & wandering traders
  • More Effective Tools: Blocks which previously did not have an effective tool, such as glass, now have an effective tool which allows for quicker mining.
  • Silk Touch Budding Amethyst: Silk Touch now works with budding amethyst 👀
  • Villager Death Messages: Find out when and where a villager died
  • Wandering Trader Announcements: Find out when a wandering trader arrives
  • XP Bottling: Right click an enchantment table with an empty glass bottle to convert some experience to XP bottles.

Mod Changes

  • Removed Beenfo as it is no longer supported
  • Added server-side support for Xaero’s Minimap
  • Added server-side support for CustomPlayerModels
  • Added server-side support for EmoteCraft
  • Extended support for Simple Voice Chat. Voice chat can now interact with skulk sensors.

World Changes

  • Trimmed uninhabited chunks from the world. An uninhabited chunk is defined as a chunk that has been loaded less than 5 minues. This results in trial chambers spawning in new chunks.

Creeper explosions are now disabled on the Beta server. You may see the explosions still appear client-side, but they do not exist on the server any more and will no longer drop blocks. In the event a creeper blows up a sign, the sign may appear blank until you relog.

I am looking into building a newer copy of CreeperHeal, but I am very inexperienced with Java so this will have to do for now

Hello, Betacraft, and hello again to our old domains!

I wanted to say hello to the Betacraft community! Livecraft’s Beta 1.7.3 server was recently added to the Betacraft Launcher‘s server list. The Betacraft launcher provides a very convenient way to play Beta Minecraft online as it was meant to be played. Mojang has not fixed the login and server authentication issues despite promising to do so in 2022! The launcher has some extras, including the old door, arrow, and egg sounds for full beta immersion.

Betacraft’s newest 2.0 launcher is currently in alpha, and one of the changes made is adding support for modern Minecraft versions. I will be looking to add Livecraft’s modern server to that list once I have the opportunity to do so.

Welcome, Betacraft community! I hope you enjoy our server as much as we have.

Also, I have some exciting news! After years, our old domains livecraft.us and live-craft.com have finally been given up by the domain parkers/scalpers! I was able to acquire them for a very reasonable price and have configured them to redirect to livecraft.net. Anyone out there with live-craft.com or livecraft.us still in their server list will see it light up for the first time in years. ❤️

I’ve also made a few changes to our website that should prevent minor issues if you access it through mc.livecraft.net or livecraft.net. We now have a redirect that will take you to www.livecraft.net, preventing any odd sign-in issues or issues with browser extensions such as Dark Reader not remembering your preferences.
