What’s New: Week 517

Saw my old “What’s New” weekly-ish posts and decided to see how many weeks it’s been since then. 517 weeks! We’re old.

I’m introducing a new page which will be coming soon, with the goal of documenting available commands, what they do, and who has access to them. This will include Livecraft-specific features, such as the poke command.

Update: I’ve launched those pages! They can be accessed by expanding the About category, or by clicking one of the links below:

Livecraft 1.20.1 Launch!

Here’s the 1.20.1 launch release notes!

  • New server! Livecraft is now being hosted by Server.pro, rather than in my home. This should improve reliability, and it is now easier for us to administrate.
  • New spawn! The new spawn was built as a collaborative effort between all staff members. I’d like to give them a round of applause on their outstanding job – it looks phenomenal!
    • Parkour is now official
  • New worlds! We have started fresh on 1.20.1, meaning your mcMMO progress has been reset, as have your homes and inventories.
  • The flatlands remain! We have carried over the flatlands, and all homes set in the flatlands carried over as well.
  • Permissions refresh! One of the biggest complaints we received was the amount of permissions issues that we had with the previous server. This is being addressed with the new server – please let us know if you have issues and we will get them fixed asap. Thank you!
  • World downloads for the old 1.18 worlds will be made available at my earliest convenience. All player data (inventories, homes, etc) will be redacted to preserve privacy.

Livecraft will be offline while we migrate the flatlands to the 1.20 server. I will be able to start the migration/archival after September 11th.

The issue with invisible users & non functional skins should be fixed. Please let me know if you run into issues. The next update will be to Minecraft 1.20, once it is out and stable. Thank you!

Advanced Debug Stick

Based on feedback provided in ⁠#suggestions, the “Enhanced Debug Stick” plugin has been added to the server. This allows you to configure the state blocks are in by punching the block with the stick to choose the property, then right click with the stick to change the value. This allows for changing the state the block is in. This is useful for forcing stairs to stay in a certain orientation for a build. For details on this plugin, the plugin page is here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/enhanced-debug-stick.65384/ To give yourself a debug stick, type /dbs. This is available to Builders and above.

Note, the debug stick is very powerful. Please do not use it to casually mess around, as it can cause issues if it is abused.
