Skyblock Skyblock update March 2 - 5, 2018

The following updates have been released on the new Skyblock server since the initial release of the Nether:

• Fixed bug that was preventing PVP from working. To use PVP, both players must:
  • Have opted in to PVP using the /pvp command
  • Not be in /god mode
  • Be in a location where PVP is allowed and not denied:
    • An island where the PVP setting is enabled
    • An overworld public space where PVP is enabled (none currently, but may be added later)
    • Anywhere in the Nether
• The /leaderboards command now shows the top 20 islands instead of just the top 10
• More player stats shown on the Your stats option in page 2 of the /sb menu
• Added a notification message when players attempting to use a Nether portal are teleported to /spawn, explaining the reason
• Most previously-disabled mobs have been re-enabled with reduced or replaced drops to keep the game challenging
• Fixed island /level calculation routine
  • Previously only a 50 block radius surrounding the player's spawn point (including up and down) was counted
  • Fixed to include entire island space, including any applicable island expansions
• Fixed bug that made it impossible for coop members to use /level or /coop info commands when the coop leader was offline
• Fixed bug that made it impossible to transfer island ownership using /changleader if either party was offline
• Fixed implementation error that was causing coop to be disbanded when a coop leader left without selecting a successor first
• Changed method used to select a new coop leader automatically when the current leader leaves without choosing a successor
  • Previously, a random coop member was chosen as leader, now the most recently seen coop member is chosen as leader
  • This reduces the likelihood that a forgotten or inactive coop member is chosen as leader, leaving the coop with an absent leader
• Multiple chat fixes and improvements
  • The /ignore command now works the same as on the Classic server. It previously had no effect on the Skyblock server.
  • Multi-line colored chat now displays correctly. Previously, players using older clients would only see the first line colored, with no color for the rest of the lines.
  • Added new /quiet mode, for players who want to take a break from public chat
    • Using /quiet by itself switches between listening in local or global mode
    • Using /quiet global, /quiet local, and /quiet coop switches between the three available modes
      • In global mode, you see chat messages posted by anyone you don't /ignore. This is the default mode.
      • In coop mode, you only see chat messages posted by members of your coop
      • In local mode, you only see chat messages posted by players within 50 blocks of you (in any direction, including up and down), as well as members of your coop, no matter where they are
    • Using /quiet status shows you the mode you're currently listening in
  • Enhanced the /chat command:
    • Using /chat by itself switches between sending in local or global mode
    • Using /chat global, /chat local, and /chat coop switches between the three available modes
      • In global mode, messages you send are received by anyone who doesn't /ignore you. This is the default mode.
      • In coop mode, messages you send are received only by members of your coop
      • In local mode, messages you send are only received by players within 50 blocks of you, in any direction, as well as members of your coop, no matter where they are
    • Using /chat status shows you the mode you're currently chatting in
  • Added new /chatglobal, /chatlocal, and /chatcoop commands, and their aliases, /cg, /cl, and /cc
    • Using one of these commands by itself puts you into that mode
    • Appending a message to one of these commands just sends that one message out in that mode without switching your current chat mode
      • For example, if you're currently in global chat mode, you can send a one-off message to your coop using /cc. Or if you're in local or coop chat mode working on a build with friends, you can use /cg to send a public chat message, such as to ask for help or to find out if someone is trading something you need.
  • Changed block break behavior that was causing coarse dirt to turn into plain dirt when broken. Now that coarse dirt can be crafted, this change will allow players to and place and break coarse dirt normally

lee for owner

 

I appreciate the sentiment, Lego, but that isn't something I would ever want. I'm honestly just the messenger here. Noobcrew is the one who asked me to put these change logs together and post them, and he and Matt have worked a lot of sleepless nights to make this happen. My own role is really a small one. All the credit really belongs to them. I'm just happy to have a chance to be part of an amazing team and to have a chance to help out when I can.

 

Again, thanks to you, mat t and Noobcrew

 

Thank you all the staff for these updates and announcements.

 

Thank you for this, also why can I post threads in these sections? o.o

 

Wait boo crew actually pays attention to this server!?
Also we could give Lee the official title of messenger.

Lol either way tks for the change log. Tell noobcrew community is happy

 

Noobcrew cares very much about this server. He pays very close attention, and the community's feedback really does matter to him.

 

It would be nice if he would drop by more.
Doesn’t have to be big stuff, but occasionally poking thru forums would sometimes be nice

 

yay! change logs
