Interesting times ahead for sure. Can we get a list of expected changes to the existing server. Such as changes/removal of existing mobs/animals, etc.
It's all but confirmed that all sheep stacks will be wiped in the update so map art makers might want to stock up on wool. Goodbye to these guys .
I would love an answer/advice to this. I am in the process of deconstructing my island to reset it. I have all of my valuable items loaded in shulkers inside my ender chest so I can /ni reset. What is the best course of action to prepare for this update?
You should be okay to store items anywhere. The only worry at the moment that you may need to be cautious of is tradeshops on skyblock.
There will be a changelog, additionally some sort of supporting document that outlines the ways to get the new blocks/items.
I would be cautious of maparts and or items stored in item frames, me personally I have taken all mine down just as a precautionary measure. Probably nothing to worry about, but item frames being classified as an entity and not a block already, rubs me the wrong way.
Would really like firm instructions, such as. Remove all items from enderchests Destroy all trade shops. etc etc If there is a risk that can be mitigated now, it will save staff a lot of work later.
