Updates:

• Enabled the /resetprefix command for Skytitan and above.
• Enabled HEX color support for the /setprefix <prefix> command available to Skytitan and above, visible in both tab list and in-game chat.
• Players with Skytitan and above who haven't set a custom prefix will default to their rank prefix in the tab for players with the custom prefixes in tab preference enabled.
  
• Increased the maximum allowed prefix colors from 8 to 10 for Skytitan to allow for better prefix gradients using https://skyblock.onl/gradient (Thanks Pillow for the resource!)
• Improved Friends GUI icons. (Thanks Devil and Krissy!)

Things still broken and or missing that we are still working on:

• Forums integration.
• The hub is still very broken.
• Collectables.
• Ads.
• Scoreboards.
• Chat hover.
• Skywars and Classic.
• ...and many other minor issues.

We still have a long way to go before everything is perfect. Noobcrew and I appreciate everyone who has been reporting bugs via Discord DMs and the forums. This update has been challenging for both us and our players, but as it comes together, it puts us on track for the next major milestone: v3 and 1.21.

Another bug fixes update will be coming later this week.

P.S ...a few of the bug fixes will be active after the daily restart tomorrow 2026-01-06 12:45:00 UTC.
