Introduction

July has started so that means that It is time for another monthly tech team update!
We have been working hard last month thinning down our to do list and putting out a lot of bug fixes and additional changes.
We had a rush of new player that means people also found new bugs and had some requests/suggestions, so we have been slowly but surely fixing bugs and making some player requested suggestions, For example making changing stats a lot easier and having a command for seeing other peoples stat cards (more about that below).

Announcements
New Features or additions:

2 new pets!

It has been a little while since we added some new pets, so we decided to add 2 new pets to our store!
We now have a Chameleon that changes his colour depending on which block it stands, and it catches flies if you interact with it!
And furthermore we have a cute little otter that looks so adorable! It follows you everywhere and rolls around if you interact with it, it sure will be stealing the show if you walk around with it!
You will be able to buy both of them in the tokenshop for 400 tokens each. You can access all of this using the command /tokenshop in game

/Cardother
This new feature lets you see other peoples player cards from a distance and without having to shift rightclick them. You simply type /Cardother (charactername) and the stat card of said character will show up there. This will hopefully get rid of the the akward Shifting that you currently have to do.
just keep in mind that you cannot use any information from that card to your advantage.

A small change to the voting streak
We got some feedback about our voting streak system, people talked about losing their vote streak due to missing one day (for example having a day off fables) or having a typo in their name while voting, so we decided to add a one day grace period! this means you can miss one day of voting without losing your whole votestreak! This sure is a small quality of life addition, which we will all love because mistakes do happen.

Other Changes:
  • Added more logging
  • Replaced whitelist system
  • Improved service monitoring
  • Implemented system for loremasters to change character stats
  • Added dedicated subdomain and HTTPS connection for dynmap
  • Improved whitelist system reliability
  • Created Rovelt Estate claim
Bugfixes:
  • Fixed massive lag spikes on opening the nationtool​
  • Updated the text on the vote sites​
  • Fixed world gamemode bypass for minioperators
  • Prevent spectators from killing animals

Looking forward


As summertime is coming and vacations are starting we will have a lot more time to work on the server, this means that we can push out a lot more updates and plugins!
With the big influx of new players we want to make progress on the current plugins that we are working on.
Together with that we aim to make as much bugfixes and additional changes to make the gameplay as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

And of course, now that 1.19 has been released for a bit, we can hopefully make a swift update to 1.19. there's a high possibility that we will update to it in this month or next month, we of course will notify you all if it is going to happen in advance.

We are also still currently working with the transition from Denizen to Kotlin, progress is going smoothly with a nice tempo
The remaining systems that have the highest priority to be transitioned are among the following, in no particular order:
Knockout
Characters
Locks
Regenerating ores (nation mines)
