Hello all,

Since 1.13 is an absolutely monstrous update, there will have to be changes on ECC to accommodate for it.

Current status

Currently, we've got all our custom plugins staged and ready to be tested on 1.13-pre7. This took over 3k lines of code, and an absolutely immense amount of time to change the logic around. This means that when all the other plugins we use are updated, we can start testing and experimenting with what needs to be patched.

Spigot recommends that servers wait for all their plugins to update before launching production:
Because of the volatility of this update, I've had to feature and bug lock the entire network until 1.13 is launched. The reason behind this is that developing two separate versions, and then merging them together when 1.13 is launched is immense work. It's simply not worth the amount of time it'd require.

With that status update out of the way. Now onto the meat and potatoes.

Features/Systems Removed

Since 1.13 completely removes the "item id" system in minecraft, there unfortunately has been a few casualties.

SG has too much of a codebase dependant on the old system to be updated. The amount of work spent on the rest of the plugins is about half the amount of work needed for SG if it were to be updated.
SG, come 1.13 will be removed from the main server.

Now, before everyone panics. Your kits that you bought will be transferred into KitPVP in some way. We don't know how yet, but they will be compensated in some form.

Trade signs are the next casualty, but only partially. As announced here:...

As you may already know, Mojang intends to release 1.13 on July 18th. As andrewkm has stated in the ECC Discord #news channel, ECC will not be 1.13 compatible for a few weeks.

You have to use Minecraft 1.12.2 to connect to ECC. If you have already updated to 1.13, you will need to create a 1.12.2 profile to join the server.

If you are unsure how to create a 1.12.2 profile, you can use one of the following tutorials depending on your Minecraft launcher version:

Once the server is ready for 1.13 you will be informed via the forum news section.

We have clarified the rules for automation on Skyblock.

You can find the updated rules (which have been changed to disallow third party automation regardless of whether you are AFK) at https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/wiki/skyblock-afk-and-automation-guidelines.

We have set up a discussion thread. Feel free to voice your opinion regarding this change.

Unfortunately, due to an oversight when replacing our voting system, the logging system no longer worked. This means that the votes for May were not recorded.

As we had only completed the system mid-June - we cannot post the partial results for June. There will be full rewards for July though.

Thanks for the patience.

Unfortunately, due to an oversight when replacing our voting system, the logging system no longer worked. This means that the votes for May were not recorded.

I'm working on a new logging system for it now, and hope to have it finished shortly.

I'm pleased to announced that we are opening Staff Applications for another round.
