🗳️ Still Time to Vote: Our Next Server

Haven't voted yet? The poll for our next server is still open. It's the same poll as in our earlier updates, so if you already voted there, your vote is already counted. You can still change it here.

• 💀 Semi Hardcore: a 2-week ban when you die instead of a permanent one, full custom generation, and a ton of extra custom features
• ☠️ Extreme Hardcore: no passive health regeneration and permanent death, with a revival system to bring someone back

🧭 A Brand-New /ol Menu

Type /ol and you now land on a home screen with your profile at the top and every command sorted into groups:

• ⭐ Getting Started: the welcome book, voting, linking your account, Discord and the store
• 📝 Chat & Messages: private messages, ignoring, blocking and sharing items in chat
• ⚔️ Teams & Combat: teams, team chat and /trust
• 🕒 You & Your Stats: stats, your tag, phantoms and more
• 💀 Death & Wills: your wills and claiming a fallen player's ender chest
• 💎 Supporter Perks: everything Rare, Epic and Mythic unlock

Every command now shows the same four things, in the same order:

• 🏷️ What it is
• ⌨️ How to use it
• 💬 What it does
• 🎖️ Which rank it needs, if any

Click a command and it either runs straight away or gets typed into your chat bar, ready to fill in. Your profile shows your ranks and how long you've played.

💎 Supporter Perks are now visible to everyone. Perks you've unlocked glow, and locked ones show which rank unlocks them.

🖼️ Share Items ([item], [inv] and [enderchest]) is back in the menu. It went missing in the old one.

📕 A Rewritten Welcome Book

The welcome book has been rewritten from the first page to the last.

• 🧭 /ol comes first, so new players know where to find every command
• 🌲 Six survival tips, updated: eat first, get totems, fear the night, carry a shield, watch your step and play together
• 📚 Clear pages for combat, teams, chat, your stats and what happens after you die
• 🏆 Every playtime rank and how many hours it takes, from Rookie to Immortal
• 💎 Up-to-date pages for Voter, Rare, Epic and Mythic, including Lobby queue priority
• 🎨 New colours that are actually easy to read on the page
• ✨ A cleaner look when you hover over the book in your inventory

🎁 Claim Your New Copy

Everyone can grab one copy of the new book, even if you already claimed the old one.

• ⌨️ Type /welcomebook
• 🔔 Already have the old book? You'll get a reminder in chat the next time you join

🧰 More Menus, Same New Look

The /ol makeover didn't stop at /ol. These menus all got rebuilt in the same style:

• 🛡️ /team now opens a team menu: your teammates with who's online, invite players straight from their heads, promote, demote or kick with a confirm, team chat, and leave or disband. Not on a team yet? Create one, see your invites or browse every team
• ⚙️ A new Settings page in /ol: turn server tips, the tag above your head, phantoms and Halloween mobs on or off with one click
• 🤝 /trust now opens a menu with the heads of everyone online. Click someone, confirm, done. /untrust shows everyone you trust, so you can remove them the same way
• 📊 /stats opens on a home screen with your profile: playtime, deaths, kills and blocks mined, with your leaderboard spot. Every stat shows your own value and position first, then the top 5 with gold, silver and bronze
• 📜 /will has a cleaner menu for writing and reading your wills, a Remove a Will page (also /removewill) where you pick a will and confirm, plus a new Fallen Players' Wills page with the heads of everyone who left one behind
• 🏷️ /tag shows every tag in its real rank colour, with your current tag glowing
• ↩️ Every menu now has a Back button that takes you to the right page of /ol, and a Close button

🎵 20 New Death Sounds

Mythic supporters can pick from 37 death sounds now, up from 17. The /deadsound menu is split into four tabs:

• ⚡ Epic: like the new Ender Dragon Death, Raid Horn, Channeling Strike and Totem Pop
• 🕯️ Eerie: like Sculk Shriek, Enderman Scream, Cave Noise and Creaking Death
• 🐺 Creatures: like Ravager Roar, Screaming Goat, Phantom Death and Breeze Death
• 😂 Funny: like Witch Cackle, Panda Sneeze, Didgeridoo and Wololo

Click a sound to hear it, shift-click to pick it.

💬 A Cleaner Chat

• ✉️ Private messages got a new look: ✉ Steve → Alex: message. The ✉ and arrow are pink and the message is a soft light pink, so you always know it's private. Names still show each player's own nickname and rank colours
• 🌐 Messages sent from the website now look just like the ones from Discord, and use your in-game tag and nickname: Website » [TAG] Nickname: message. The same goes for website messages posted on Discord

✨ Everywhere Else

• 📋 The tab list got a cleaner header and footer: online players, your ping, total players and deaths, plus the server IP, Discord and a reminder that /ol has everything
• ⚔️ Item stats on your gear (crafted by, kills, blocks mined and more) now use the same new look. Your existing items update by themselves the next time they're in your inventory
• 🎃 Halloween items got a cleaner description in the same style, including the ones you already have
• 🤖 Our Discord bot posts got matching colours and shorter wording: green for joins, gold for first joins and advancements, red for leaves
• 📶 Bedrock players now show their real ping in the tab list, instead of always 0 or 1
• 🤖 Our Discord bot now stays online while the server restarts. /status tells you when it's restarting, and Discord messages sent in the meantime show up in-game once it's back
• 👋 New players get a shorter, sharper intro in the Lobby: four quick screens with sounds and a personal welcome. Once they land on the SMP, a short welcome in chat points them to their welcome book and /ol
• 💀 Death markers (the heads left behind where someone died) have a tidier hover with when they died, how, and how long they survived

🎉 New: /events

Type /events (or click the new Events tile in /ol) to see every event that's running right now, with a live countdown to when it ends. Right now that's the Halloween Event and the Voting Event, both running until November 1st at 00:00.

📢 Discord Forums Are Closing

All Discord forum channels will close on October 12th.
