Hello everyone,

I’m writing today to bring attention to a matter that has impacted me for quite some time. It’s a situation that I believe deserves broader awareness, particularly concerning what I see as unethical and monopolistic practices within the Minecraft Marketplace. My intention is not to incite conflict with Microsoft, Mojang, or major Minecraft companies, but to highlight what I believe are significant injustices regarding user-generated content on Minecraft and to share details of an ongoing legal dispute that I feel the community should be informed about.

For nearly four years, I have been engaged in a legal conflict with Microsoft and eleven other Minecraft related companies who aim to invalidate my intellectual property and exclusive trademark rights to Skyblock.

The companies involved include: Microsoft, Razzleberries AB, Sapphire Studios LLC, Aurrora Limited, Easy Games, Inc., Jigarbov Productions Inc., King Cube LTD, Ziax Ltd, ReWrite Media, Inc., Mineplex LLC,...

Global Updates - May 10th, 2025

The following changes have been made to Mob Arena:

• The Blaster class now starts with 24 blocks of TNT instead of 64.​

• TNT ignition time has been reduced to 14 ticks compared to the prior 80 ticks, and it no longer damages the player that placed/ignited it. Additionally, TNT kills count toward scoreboard kill count.​

• If you try to join Mob Arena when there's already a round running, you will be put in a queue to join the next round automatically. This persists until the end of the current round, meaning you are still in the queue if you switch servers or log off momentarily.​

• If a new round is starting, a sound will play alongside the announcement message.​

• Status indicators have been added to the scoreboard to display health and various potion effects of players in the arena. Currently this includes poison,...​

Global Updates - May 4th, 2025

• Numerous changes have been applied to Mob Arena in the past week, however we still have a lot to do.
  
  Most notably:
  
  - The Warden was added back as the final boss with reduced health and damage, though it likely will need to be tweaked further as it still hits fairly strong and is hard to defeat.
  
  - Bosses can drop a variety of different items when being defeated.
  
  - You can now place and use anvils, enchantment tables, and tnt, which will be successfully cleared when the game ends.
  
  - Slight adjustments to amount or the variety of mobs in certain waves.
  
  - You can now view the game scoreboard while in spectator mode. Previously, it was more difficult to see the stats of players or who was alive in the arena.
  
  - You no longer lose hunger while in spectator mode.
  
  - Many parts of the Mob Arena plugin was re-coded or cleaned up which will make it easier for us to apply future updates.

If you have additional suggestions, feel...
