We're finally here everyone! We've learnt a lot from our biggest reset ever when 1.9 was released, we changed everything up, saw what work, what didn't, and what needed to be improved on.Take your time to have a quick read through this changelog (mainly focused on larger things that really matter) whilst we finish up some of the server work.

Website
We've made a few little changes around here:
- We've downsized the forums, as many of them weren't being used. If you're unsure where to post something, best bet is to put it in General, and a Mod will move it if needs to be moved.

- Our bans page is back for all of you naughty ones out there! So if you do receive a punishment in-game, you can read about it here.

- THE MAP IS BACK! We have adjusted it a little, so you won't be able to zoom right in, so it's more of a biome viewer, but this way it won't affect the server near as much, and will still give you all a rough idea where to go, without being able to find every structure the map has. View it here.

Survival
Spawn - Obviously a a new spawn, and safe to say our best one yet! Similiar to our current spawn, you can jump through portals you'll see around the spawn, hit certain blocks to randomly teleport into the wild, or just use the faithful /rtp command.

Rules - We've simplified to minimise the amount people have to read when they first join. Be sure to have a read of these rules before playing again, they're in a book that will be in your inventory when you join.

Free Ranks - We've changed up the free rank requirements to be easier, although some players progress during the ranking system with ease, data from our previous map showed us that majority of players found it more difficult. Hopefully these adjustments will please those who like to grind, but also the majority who aren't as crazy with it. Don't worry, we'll be bringing some more challenges down the track.

Mob Spawners/Grinders - Well, wasn't this confusing in 1.9? This was for sure something we wanted to improve on - safe to say we have! There is now **NO LIMIT** on how many grinders you can have. However, keep in mind, we now (automagically) restrict spawners to one per chunk. So if there is one in a cave underneath where you are wanting to place one, you won't be able to until you dig out the existing one! Same rules apply with spawners that you will not be able to pick them up after you place them, and to make it easier and less buggy with changing spawner types, you now just buy the spawners WITH the mob you want, no more eggs (although you can still change them if you win any eggs from Voting). You can always ask if you misplace a spawner by accident.

pStones - Goodbye....old friend. We've been using this plugin for a loonnnnnngggg time. The only thing we have from it is Magestones, and Mob repellers. There is no more Draw mode, or Visualisation, or anything. Nice and simple, and easy on the server, whilst still keeping the more popular features. You can still use /ps locations to view your pstones whereabouts

We have also replaced the only other necessary blocks with other methods:
- Breathing underwater will be possible with a pumpkin head (for now).
- Slime blocks will now (by default) give a jump boost to replace the coal/iron ores - but it'll be straight up, not boost in certain directions you are facing.

Auctions - Let the bidding wars begin! We have finally decided to bite the bullet and add Auctions to the server. So now you can sell, and bid on items with other players! In a very simple way, that doesn't constantly spam your chat.

Wiki - With scrapping the wiki on the forums, we've gone ahead and made a very in-depth one in-game. We will try to keep this up to date, and constantly work and keeping it one of the most reliable sources for help on the server! If you aren't sure of something related to features in-game, check /help before asking a staff member! We are just finishing off a few parts of this, but it will be live this weekend.

Map Size -
We've started with a map 30,000 blocks wide (that's over 230 BILLION blocks) and we'll expand this over the next 6 months. Everyone will always have plenty of room to build, explore, and create!

New Rank - Introducing for the first time ever on AusCraft our first official Builder rank! This isn't a position you can apply for, but rest assured we'll always have our eyes out, and approach you if we think you would suit the role!

Hub
We've made a new hub, it's verrrrry pretty, and we think a nice resting place whilst the server resets, or because we broke something!

Creative
Yes, we know we have been very slack with this for far too long. Once Survival is completely finished this is our next priority, and we will aim to get it up and running ASAP so you can all build your hearts out.

Over the next few days we'll be adding the following back in (as there are a few more little things we need to do to them!).
- Voting Rewards
- Pets
- In-game Wiki
- PVP Arenas
- Store Permissions/commands

Ontop of this, keep your eye on the store! There will be some pretty awesome perks going up there soon :wink:
Regarding Paid ranks & permanent perks, we'll be going through them throughout the day and adding permanent perks back in, and those who had time left as a Paid rank.

Please use this forum post if you have any questions for Musketeers. Please also note, with so many changes to the server there will be bugs, and possibly crashes. We strongly advise everyone to report any bugs/issues they find using /report - and failure to do this and abusing any bugs/gltiches will result in a strong punishment.

We thank ALL OF YOU for being so supportive and understanding! Huge thanks to Staff for their assistance throughout it all, and a GIANT SHOUTOUT to Postman_Pat who built this INCREDIBLE spawn, and is also our first official Builder rank! Be sure to thank and congratulate her when you see her in-game!

Welp, that's it, folks! We'll post in Discord when the server is LIVE (which will be very shortly, as we are still fixing up a few things), and keep your eyes peeled to Discord announcements and this post for updates to come!

Happy crafting <3
