Applications for both the Media and Creator ranks are now open and can be submitted through the Support Center on our website.

Store

Supply drop prices are now $7.99.

Cosmetics

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is important to note that the cosmetic engine is brand new. We took a unique approach to how emojis, hats, clothing, skins, and other cosmetics are handled, awarded to players, and displayed to ensure they are easy to equip and use. The system is designed to be highly configurable and to function globally across different server environments, such as Guilds and Creative. It also supports multiple “unlock actions,” allowing cosmetics to be obtained through various methods, including Origems, achievements (coming soon), player statistics (coming soon), voting sessions using /vote, and more.

We also intend to carefully balance the distinction between ownership and entitlement, particularly in cases such as seasonal Guild rewards versus general-use cosmetics like chat emojis, ensuring that rewards feel meaningful within their original context while still behaving consistently across the broader network.

That said, we would love to hear your feedback on the new system.

Cosmetics are a new addition to the global server. A cosmetics engine was made to support cosmetics all over the server and was designed to utilize each cosmetic on every server possible.

See Cosmetic Flags -> Skins for a practical example.
- Emojis:
- Emojis were added to the server chat.
  - Emoji format: :emoji_id:
  - Example:
  - Emojis equipped from the /cosmetics emoji menu will allow you to tab-complete your emojis in chat by typing “:” and pressing Tab.
  - We are actively working on user ranks getting a set of emojis by default, but for now, anyone can try the emojis using a vote session from /vote

Clothing:

Clothing is a mixture of hats, armor pieces, and modeled clothing (coming soon)
Hats are in the process of being enabled. We will provide an announcement shortly after this post when we bring them live.

Cosmetic Flags

Skins
- New /skin command
- Opens an ui of available skins you can apply to an item you’re holding.
- Supports unlocked cosmetics that have a skin flag on them.
  - For example, you own the hero helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. The cosmetic has a skin flag attached to it. You may equip the physical armor in lobbies and creative, however, in guilds, the cosmetic may be applied to the armor it was made for (diamond) using /skin on diamond armor.
Shift sounds
- Hats that are worn and have the shift sound cosmetic flag attached to them will randomly (configurable) play a sound attached to the hat.
- For example, wearing a Cat Hat can play a cat meow sound randomly when you crouch.
Vote Flag
- Cosmetics that have the vote flag enabled on them can be equipped by a player who has an active “Vote Session” (See Voting for more information)
- Once a player has claimed their cosmetics from voting, the player will not be able to select that particular cosmetic again. The mission of this feature is to allow players to try cosmetics before purchase.
- We do not have plans to allow players to unlock any cosmetics they wish with this feature, hence its existence. We want most of the cosmetics to feel unique without all players being able to equip them.

Voting

When a player votes, it creates a “Vote Session” for the player that expires after some time. Plugins can read whether the player is in an active voting session to perform certain actions.

Vote Session duration: (Subject to change by staff and/or community input):

The first vote creates a 10-minute voting session.
An additional vote from another site adds 5 minutes to the existing session
Voting for all sites will add 1 hour to the existing session

Vote session capabilities

Trial cosmetics (see Cosmetics -> Cosmetic Flags -> Vote Flag for more info)

Technical

The front-end plugins and servers have been updated to Minecraft 26.1.2 and Java 25.
The backend infrastructure service related to maps (DimensionConfig) was redone to support Minecraft's new world format in 26.1.
- Worlds are now labeled as Dimensions. Making world names obsolete, transitioning to namespace keys.
- Server data like Warps, Portals, Spawns, Borders, etc., was moved off the server and onto the infrastructure service. This feature was targeted towards minigames to better support map automation and organization across the build server and the overall network.
- A region system was started and is still in development to replace WorldGuard. Regions will be stored in the DimensionConfig
- Created a custom world manager and void generator.
Fixed a large headache we've been dealing with that didn’t allow PluginModels to listen to onLoad on server startup.
Created a global schematic CDN.
- Planned use for players submitting maps, building server transfers, downloading, and more.
Deliveries from the Delivery Service now have an expiry flag attached to them. This will apply to supply drops that will expire on the last day of the season in guilds. Any existing supply drops have been reset.

Crates Chance Rescale:

The following crates below have undergone chance rescalings, matching the proper percentages. With that said, some items have been replaced:

Daily:
- → 60% of the items listed have been replaced.
Landmark Tier I Crate
Landmark Tier II Crate
Landmark Tier III Crate
Mythic Crate
KOTH Crate

Raiding & Cannon Rescale:

Raiding timers have been adjusted:
- The raid period is now 5 minutes.
- The shield period is now 24 hours.
The cannon recipe has changed, iron blocks have been replaced with heavy cores.

Cannon can no longer be moved, but can still adjust angles and can fall.
Sponge cannon ball’s ability has been altered:
- Now places actual sponge blocks instead of air in a 2-block radius, absorbing water on impact to help clear openings in water-based builds.

Landmark Difficulty & Boss Gear Rescale:

All landmark difficulties have been rescaled to properly match their listed difficulty. With that in mind, Boss Gear has been upgraded to help bridge the gap between Mythic and KOTH gear. These gears are not only accompanied by high enchantment levels, but also new effects that give them an advantage in battle!

Tier I → Summoner Gear
- Enchantment Level: 5
- Special Effect: Deep Lungs → Water Breathing

Tier II → Warrior Gear
- Enchantment Level: 6
- Special Effect: Void Step → Jump Boost II

Tier II → Assassin Gear
- Enchantment Level: 6
- Special Effect: Ashen Skin → Fire Resistance

Tier III → Shaman Gear
- Enchantment Level: 7
- Special Effect: Stone Skin → Resistance

Tier III → Mage Gear
- Enchantment Level: 7
- Special Effect: Eternal Pulse → Regeneration

There is a 8% chance for boss gear to drop. Mythic keys at easy landmarks are 50% drop chance, 75% at medium landmarks, and 100% at hard landmarks. Players are limited to one boss summon per landmark within a 24-hour period. For example, if a player summons and defeats the boss at Landmark Shrine, they cannot summon that same boss again until 24 hours have passed, but they remain free to take on bosses at other landmarks in the meantime.

Here’s Guild's current timeline moving forward:

Week 1: Tier 1 Landmarks open.
Week 2: Tier 1 Landmark Bosses open (Boss drops are obtainable), Mythic Key drop disabled.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Week 4: KOTH enabled (4x per month | Saturdays).
