OPENING ALPHA
Hi everyone! We’ll be opening up Alpha for the 1.21.7 update, available to players with the Alpha rank. This phase is purely for testing, we’ll be checking how the plugins perform and identifying any bugs or glitches before the official update. Alpha will remain open for about a week or two while we monitor everything. Currently, the Alpha rank is not for sale. However, if there’s enough interest from players who want to help test and support the server, we may consider bringing it back to the store for a limited time. You can access the Alpha server through the portal in the lobby.
SERVER TRAILER
We’re finally moving forward with creating a server trailer! To make it happen, we’re planning a day to get as many players online as possible so we can film a few clips. All we need is a big group to show up and run around a few warps and larger builds. We’ll also be taking a new community photo for the website! Filming will begin on Saturday, July 12, 2025 10:00 AM PST. Emily and I will be there to help direct everyone, and we may reach out to a few players to ask permission to feature their builds in the trailer.
SERVER UPDATE/RESET
As expected, we’ve decided to reset the server for the upcoming update. The current map is outdated, and we know many players are feeling burnt out or out of things to do. To help shape the future of the server, we’ll be releasing a poll soon so you can vote on the type of reset you’d prefer. Please read through everything and vote on what you’d rather do in our #polls channel in our discord. Regardless of the outcome, playtime and ranks will be kept. While we don’t have an exact update date yet, we’re aiming for sometime this month if everything goes smooth.
OPTION ONE: FULL RESET
The first reset option will be a full reset. Everything will be wiped, including your items, money, pets, and more. It will be a complete fresh start for everyone on the server.
OPTION TWO: PARTIAL RESET
The next option will be a partial reset, with a few exceptions for what players can bring over. The main items allowed will be maparts, player heads, and invalidated cheques. A dedicated GUI will be available for storing these specific items. For maparts, we’re unclaiming all of them to make them a free-for-all, which will help prevent players from making money immediately after the reset. These maps will remain unclaimable.
In a separate GUI, players will also be allowed to bring over an inventory’s worth of additional items (up to 27 slots). However, these items must have a combined value of less than 5k. Any enchanted items included will be automatically disenchanted and the lore will be removed for any vote items. To maintain a fresh start for everyone, we’ll be placing a block on bringing over any building blocks or tools. Shulkers will not be allowed in this GUI. The world will stay open about a week after we update in case anyone needs to add items to the GUI.
The sentimental items GUI will become accessible one month after the server reset, while the inventory under 5k value will be available after one week, giving most players time to get upgraded gear by then.
TLDR FOR PARTIAL RESET:
Allowed items for transfer (via GUI):
Maparts
Player heads
Invalidated cheques
Maparts update:
All maparts will be unclaimed
Becomes a free-for-all to stop early profit
New maparts can still be claimed
Any Items GUI (27-slot inventory):
Bring any other items of your choice
Total value must be under 5k
Items will be disenchanted & lore removed
No shulkers/shulker shells
Items brought over will not be accessible right away
Access timing:
Sentimental item GUI → Available 1 month after reset
Anything Items GUI → Available 1 week after reset
Please let us know if you have any questions! We will be releasing the Grove Map download 3 days after we update for those of you who want it! 😀
