Switching Hardware
Meadow, Atoll, and Creative will be temporarily down some time tomorrow to move them over to the new server. There will be a 5 minute warning before they go down and if there is an ETA it will be on our twitter page.
Valentine’s Sale
It’s Valentine’s Day! The perfect opportunity to buy something for that special someone. But don’t worry if you don’t have someone in mind because you can still use this sale on yourself! The 25% sale starts now and will end Sunday, midnight UTC.
Test Server Open
The test server is a copy of meadow and can currently support up to 40 players, some data like punishments and McMMO syncs between servers. Please come join to help us test performance. If performance is better than on the current servers we will move to these new machines. You can join through lobby or by connecting to test.alttd.com
Maps on Atoll Not Working
If they can’t be fixed all maps will have to be deleted to properly start syncing maps. I’ll talk to the developer of the plugin tomorrow to see if we can do anything to keep the maps. Expect an announcement as an update to this one somewhere this week.
World Download 1.13.2
The 1.13.2 Atoll, Meadow, Summit, and Valley worlds are now available for download. They will be up for the rest of this month after that they will no longer be available so please be quick. Each world is around 15 GB and contains the survival, nether and end worlds from the day before the reset was announced. The world version is 1.13.2, joining on a later version should work but could cause issues especially if you load chunks below where the worlborder used to be.

Issue With Map Plugin
Synced maps will not work right now because the map plugin has an unexpected issue. We have all of them backed up and will import them as soon as possible for you to use. There is not an exact ETA for this but it will hopefully be fixed before Monday. Any new maps created and any already existing ones that you didn’t mail Teri about will not be saved, so do not make any new maps until this issue is complete.
Saturday Reboot Will Be Moved
I’m gonna reboot the server (and reset the end) earlier so that I’m awake during it and can fix any issues that may arise. The reboots will happen between 4 and 5 am utc. They will not happen at exactly the same time like normal to ensure there are no issues.
Removing Old Worlds and Old Maps
On the reboot on Saturday the old survival world will be removed. At that time the end will be reset and renamed. If possible the nether will be renamed without being reset to fix the portal issue. There is a small chance the nether will need to be reset so please make sure to take all valuables out. Write down coordinates to your homes as they likely won’t work anymore after it gets renamed. This will only affect homes in the Nether and End.
We are working on a map syncing plugin to accommodate players wanting to make map art. To do this we will need to delete old maps to free up space for the plugin to use.
All maps on all servers will be reset, if you have a map and want to save it, follow these steps:
- Find the ID using the Advanced Tooltips. If you don’t have these enabled press F3 + H, after that you can hover over the item to find the ID
- Find your UUID. You can do this on a site such as https://www.mcuuid.net/. Use the one with the -‘s
- Execute the following command in game /mail Teriuihi <SERVER>:<MAPID>:<UUID>
Please make sure to get this format right, if you don’t it will not be saved. If two people use the same MapID twice we will only save one of them.
Don’t Leave Things in the Nether
As most of you know the nether is not working properly right now which has led us to disable teleporting through portals from the nether into survival. Hopefully, this will be fixed with the removal of the old survival world, but it is possible that we would need to reset the nether. Because of this, you should not be making anything permanent in the nether yet. We will let you know in the announcement channel what has happened to it after it’s fixed.
1.15 Update Complete
1.15.1 is the perfect opportunity to make some changes. The biggest change on the server itself, other than the version, is essentials being replaced with CMI. Most things will function the same but we will have some extra commands that will help us with moderating and some things will function slightly differently. In the beginning there will be some issues with this, so please don’t hesitate to let us know about any bugs you find. Currently we don’t have RTP and the Spawn shops yet, they will be coming soon. Creative will be down for now as well, it will hopefully be updated this week.
All claimblocks have been reduced to whatever you’ve claimed and nothing more. 25% of your balance has been taken. All pet inventories have been reset and you won’t be able to use them until after the old worlds are closed.
The sale has started, it will be 30% off for the first 24 hours and then 15% off the next 6 days.
You can move between the old and new worlds using the portal in the new spawn. You can get to the new spawn by using /spawn like always. If you die, please make sure you use /dback instead of /back, the new plugin separates a /dback to death and a /back to your last location.
All nicknames have had to be reset, please give the staff some time with them as there will be a lot of request, if you can send the name with color codes already there in Discord it will speed up the process a lot!
MyPet’s have had their inventory blocked and removed, they will be opened again when the old worlds closes.
