We're dusting off some golden maps from days long past, and restoring them to their former glory! Take a look at the spawn you can expect to see for the first Mini Map:



Mini Map & Rule Changes
Introducing Mini Maps! These super short maps will take place between main seasons on Onyx, or during longer break periods. You'll find that the main seasons of Onyx will begin on Saturdays per the usual reset schedule and that Mini Maps will start on weekdays. Mini Maps are expected to be between 3-5 days.
Map details and rules have been updated to accommodate the new Mini Map changes, so be sure to read through it all before taking part in the new maps, to avoid confusion. We'll be updating the following rules:
- Rule 10 - 1 f ban will result in a strike.
- Rule 28 - 1 chunk source block oceans and water bucketing to any extent (anywhere) is now allowed.
Additional Information
Last but not least, here is some miscellaneous information:
- Crate Keys will be updated to have new and improved rewards, we are also adding new cosmetic keys to the store - this includes Tags, Trails, Sprays, and Disguises.
- We will be running a Mining, Woodcutting, and Fishing alongside Mycelium (Silverfish) economy.
Summer Dungeon
The sun is shining and the temperature is ramping up, so it's time to dig out your bathing suit and sunglasses, and head on down to the beach! To celebrate the summer season arriving at last, we have released the limited-time Summer Dungeon on Factions!
The limited-time Summer Dungeon is still available all summer from now until September 18th so raid one while you can! You can find the Summer Credit Bundle in the Dungeon section on shop.thearchon.net. Find out more about the Summer Dungeon below:
