Over the last few months we have been listening to all your feedback and suggestions about the economy, Star Tools, ECC and Magic Tools. After much thought and calculation we are happy to announce a new and exciting chapter in the economy of EcoCityCraft! Starting today you will now be able to purchase God Drops (thus ECC & Magic tools) DIRECTLY from /warp starshop at a cost of 1,500 Netherstars!

Of course, purchasing these God Drops is a risk, you could always win a tool that you currently own or do not want, but this adds the incentive of selling these tools to others.

Our goal by doing this is to ultimately create a new layer of tools within the economy and help level the playing field for all our users. For years we have had only 2 layers, consisting of Max Tools, then Star Tools. The price difference between these layers was HUGE and Star Tools were hard to get for the casual player.

Making these tools more accessible to everyone will help reduce the money that is needed to acquire each level of tools within our economy, instead of 2 layers, we will now have an awesome 4 layers! Basically, we want ECC Tools to be the new Star Tools and Magic tools to be a bonus on top of that!

We truly believe that this is the right step for the future of ECC. We want all tools to be accessible to as many people as possible. As mentioned in an earlier post we have removed the God Key bonus of getting $100 USD worth of features on the store as well as the God Key. This was to combat the massive amounts of EXP entering the economy. We have also temporarily enabled the use of Gift Cards to purchase God Drops from the ECC Store. Doing this will help liquidate the Gift Card market and make all these tools even more accessible to the users who are sitting on a few Gift Cards but cannot decide which feature to get.

It is now possible to connect to ECC with 1.16.2 on your Minecraft client.

However, we still recommend that you use 1.15.2 when connecting to Main, MainNorth, SG & VMR and 1.12.2 when connecting to Skyblock & Archive. This compatibility update is primarily for new players who are looking for servers on their 1.16.2 clients.

You are free to report any bugs that come with running 1.16.2 at https://ecocitycraft.com/help. However, the issues will most likely be already known/reported and we, again, advise you to use 1.15.2 if you want to avoid such issues.

This is not a server update to 1.16.2! This thread/update only pertains to your ability to connect to ECC with a 1.16.2 client. New features (ie blocks, mechanics, etc.) that come with 1.16+ are not impacted by this update.

Welcome to July!
This month we will take on a different flavor of events. No signups, you simply need to show up at the scheduled time to play.

I am proud to present the ECC's Tri-Wizard Tournament!
If you have ever read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire or seen the movie, then you have an idea of what comes next.

For those of you who don't know, the Tri-Wizard Tournament from the Harry Potter series was an event of three magical tasks in which the "Champions" as they were called completed to the best of their ability for competitive points! The three witches or wizards were the chosen representatives of the three most prominent schools of magic in Europe.
However, instead of choosing just three teams or three users to play I have decided to simply to present the tasks for all to participate.

Throughout the month there will be a series of tasks to be played for either cash and item prizes for the Main Servers! Pay attention to upcoming threads for the dates and times for more information!

The Dragon
When: July 11th, at 2pm EST
In the arena your courage and wits will be tested. Will you survive?
For the first task you will be dropped into an arena and you will have to avoid a dragon, other scary creatures and compete with others to grab as much loot as possible. All you will be armed with is your wand and your wits. Can you collect enough prizes to make it worth your while?

The Black Lake
When: July 18th, at 2pm EST
Deep in the depths of the Black Lake is something you will dearly miss. Within a time limit, armed with your wand and a limited supply of a water-breathing charm you will attempt to collect many of the items you would...

EcoCityCraft's Survival Games have been reset! All stats are wiped clean and everyone starts out on a fresh slate for Season 3.

But wait! There's more! We have now totally revamped our Prestige/Reset system to make room for what will ultimately be an epic 16-bracket PvP tournament!

Here's an outline of what's now happening:

SG will now reset every single month for the next 4 months. The 4 top users in wins will be entered into our tournament bracket at the end of every month to coincide with the reset.
At the end those 4 months, we will hold a single-elimination 1v1 tournament (Winner will be out of 9 matches).
The remaining two users will be awarded SG Prestige.
The winner of that final round will win a $300 USD Headset and an exclusive PvP tournament forum medal!


Feel free to ask any additional questions regarding the tournament in the FAQ thread here.

We have also heard your calls for a new map and will commit to considering adding one by the end of the month. Feel free to forum PM/discord DM me any submissions and I'll add the best ones to a thread where users can vote on it (No, the submissions don't need to be yours, but if they aren't, properly credit them).

Happy PvPing and may the odds ever be in your favor!​
