It's time! It has been for quite a while too.
We held off on 1.13.0 because of the initial bugs and used this time to expand Spawn and refine it. I'd be lying if we did not get more ambitious with the additional time. Later today 1.12 will finally go offline and in its place 1.13.1 will go up with a whitelist. During this time Server Mods & Admins will be online making sure everything is running smoothly and adding the last few plugins which we didn't want to add on the test server. Shortly after 1.13 goes live for everyone, the Cemetech Minecraft 1.12 sub-forum will be locked.
There are some changes:
So, you may be asking. What are these changes?
No towny is pretty simple. Towny was the cause of quite a few server issues under 1.9 through 1.12 and with a properly regulated server, build protection is moot. We should be doing or best to approve players who are eager to abide by the rules and join.
That brings us into the introduction of new Staff ranks. We have "Helper" who can approve new members. We know there was an issue where new members would join and there were no staff online to promote them. This time around, there's a rank just for that. We'll be giving this out to active members who are online. This rank however, does not grant members the ability demote players back to guests. The "Moderator" rank allows members to investigate thefts and damage done to the environment, and can teleport to players to quickly investigate. Additionally, we have "Super Moderators" have the ability to fix issues and teleport players to them. Lastly, we have Admins, who have access to everything else.
If you'd like to join the Cemetech Minecraft Discord, please join the Minecraft server first and ask for an invite link. I'll be working on bringing another bot into the server to help plan events and mini-games such as:
Other plugins we've removed are EggCatcher, SignShops, and a slew of others.
So, buying things have changed. You can now buy directly from villagers in Spawn! Head up to the third floor where the villagers are. You'll need something called a gem, and you can obtain gems be selling basic materials to a villager.
As before, we are a Survival PvE server and looting, non-consensual PvP, and other PvP behavior is not tolerated and you will be banned for it.

- The End is not disabled off the bat!
- Custom Currency!
- Shake up to the staff structure
- Plugins have been streamlined
