We are excited to be hosting our hide and seek event on January 9th at 9pm UTC. The event will involve multiple rounds and last a few hours.
Once open, you will be able to access the event through the portal in the lobby, with prizes given to anyone who participates as well as a winner’s prize.
Good Luck!
The event team are opening event team applications in order to grow the team with enthusiastic and talented builders. Event team members work together to design and develop unique events for the server, and we hope that you can help us in that process!
It is important to note that joining events will not help you in any applications as moderators as they are unrelated roles.
We ask of the following of our applicants:
Applications will stay open for a week until December 21st at Midnight UTC. To apply go to https://alttd.typeform.com/to/Hnt6ra
As a side update: we will be hosting our festive event after Christmas this year to make sure everything runs the best it can, we will announce more on this closer to the event day.
If you plan on making some kind of map art that some may consider inappropriate, explicit, or controversial, you can submit a request for review through our @AltitudeBot support bot on Discord. Simply message the bot anything, and the bot will reply with commands that you can utilize. For mapart review requests, you will be using the command !mapart <description of map art>. Please be sure to also attach an image of the mapart (it is not possible to submit the request without an image)! Creating inappropriate mapart without prior approval may result in deletion of the mapart itself and punishment for the creator.
Once submitted, your request will be reviewed by our staff team. Typically, your request will be reviewed in 24 hours, at which point you will receive an automated notification from @AltitudeBot if the mapart is accepted or denied (we expect this turnaround time to typically be much quicker than 24 hours). There may be some special circumstances where we immediately deny. If your request is denied, Head Staff will respond with the reasoning. If your request is approved, enjoy making the map art!
We have also added a page to our website for this (and other things involving mapart)! https://alttd.com/mapart/
Security is important to us – as is transparency. Therefore we felt all of you deserve to know what is going on with your data. We were recently made aware of a Pastebin containing a lot of our older player’s IPs. The Pastebin had been posted in a Minecraft plugin dev’s GitHub by 8bitx, the previous owner, in May of 2019.
As soon as we were made aware of the existence of this Pastebin we contacted their support team to have it removed. We checked on it 12 hours later where it had been removed. As far as we’re aware no one other than the people involved in the GitHub thread this was posted in, the person who reported it, and the management team has accessed this information. If you have any concerns feel free to message us directly or through the @AltitudeBot. We apologize for any issues this may cause you.
We will be updating to 1.16.1 on Monday (UTC), July 13th. We will not be resetting the Overworld for this update as there are barely any changes to the Overworld. To compensate for this we will be expanding the world border by 1000 blocks in each direction on release and again at a later date.
The Nether and End will be reset. However, there will not be a dragon fight in the End. Due to the Nether now being a viable place to build bases we will not be resetting it every 6 months like we had done previously. Instead, we will be introducing a world border in the Nether. In the beginning it will be 1/8th the size of the Overworld border. If necessary, it will be increased in size.
We will be updating with almost all plugins. MyPet will not be there from launch, but we will of course add it back as soon as we can. This means that you will temporarily be unable to enter your pet inventories. Because of this we advise all players to clear their MyPet inventories as soon as possible so you do not forget about any items in your pets’ inventories.
We will be updating two servers at a time. Atoll and Summit will go first, followed by Meadow and Valley. We expect at least 6 hours of downtime for each server. You can play on Meadow and Valley on 1.15.2 while Atoll and Summit are updating to 1.16.1. When Atoll and Summit are finished updating, we will be opening them up to the public–meaning those servers will be available in 1.16.1 first.
Players should use the next week to remove their resources from the Nether and End. No player data will be reset as long as it is in the Overworld.
