New Spawn
With a new season comes a brand new spawn! Check it out below:



Mycelium Spawn
Introducing the stunning new Mycelium Spawn.


Lockdown Notify
For this map of Amber (like Ruby and Onyx), we will be trialing the idea of having players not constantly wall-check, as this takes up a lot of time for hours on end when you could be doing other activities on the server.
/f notifchunks (Lockdown Notify) will trigger 1 second after a faction obtains Lockdown on your faction (around 1 chunk into your base) alerting you to the raid.
Free For All (LMS)
The new Free For All event is a battle until the death, where the last players remaining will be rewarded for their skill. There is no limit to how many players can join the event when it happens a few times a day, and the last 5 players alive will receive rewards.
Take a look at this new event that you can now take part in on Factions:

Additional Content
- The amount of blocks you can overstack will be changed to 6 on our rule page.
- We will be making it so you will be able to do /printer and stay in /printer regardless of if a player is in the same chunk or a chunk close by. Along with this, if you're in printer, your fly will not be disabled if an enemy is close by.
- We will be adding Vertical Obsidian Patch Gen Buckets which will act the same way as normal Obsidian Gen Buckets however these will go through blocks (like cobblestone) to patch all of the air blocks at any height for that specific block. The price of these buckets will be $5,000.
- We will be decreasing the cost to spawn in Sandy (Sand Bots) to $100,000 per instance.
- We will be adding the use of /f open and /f close by faction members to the /f logs.
- Death Bans while raiding will remain for this map and will continue with the reduced death ban time for all players implemented late last season.
- Nether Stars will remain at the high sell price of $6,000 per Nether Star.
- Along with this, we will be adding Fishing as an alternative economy source with fishing in the Safe Lake the equivalent of Sugarcane.
- All the information explaining this economy can be found by clicking the Fishing NPCs at spawn and at /warp fishing, which will be a new Fishing World to fish at without dying.
- Due to the new Mycelium Build resulting in the new position of the PvP Lake, we will be making it possible to obtain the Mega Rod without going to the PvP Lake, however going to the PvP lake will make obtaining the Mega Rod easier.
Thank you everyone for another amazing map, see you all at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday for the Amber reset!
