    ShadeCrest Vision discussion

    Looking for folks' feedback on this discussion. Got a lot of good feedback on core values from people, now I'm looking for more feedback on where we want ShadeCrest to go in the coming years. Please try to be constructive / offer suggestions to changes in the vision and not just shoot down what is written there.

    Z_Milla retired, Pieman taking his place
    For those who haven't payed much attention, I've changed abit how the hierarchy of ShadeCrest is setup. It's very subtle in a way, but the new structure not only allows for scalability of ShadeCrest, but helps also gives more access to more of the right people. One of those changes is the designation of lead admins of each respective server who have console access. These admins are also leads of their respective servers and primary people that I coordinate with to lead the community as a whole. Z_Milla was previously the one with console access of Creative, but he has retired from his position just recently. The creative team agreed that Pieman, who is knowledgeable and very active to be the new console admin. In a very short period of time, he's already getting going with positive changes for Creative. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of that in the coming weeks.

    Arcadian War - May 3
    The Arcadian War will be making its return Saturday, May 3rd in the ancient town of DragonForge! Gather your gear, go forth, and fight as a team to overpower the defenders of the treasure and retrieve the loots of a lifetime! Sign up in this thread if you're sure that you'll be attending. If you were here for the last war, feel free to post changes that you'd like to see made. Battle on, ShadeCrest!

    Craftbook new blocks
    Thanks to Mega_Spud's suggestion, we implimented new blocks to gates, doors, and bridges in craftbook (glass panes are glitched looking into it). More information in this thread: http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6128/

    Holographic Displays - Creative
    We added holographic on creative, which is a floating text plugin and will be used in the new spawn. This adds a lot of new possibilities for some interesting builds. If people like this I could see this getting added to survival at some point for a few things. I've seen it used for pvp event stuff as well as just displays around spawn.

    Microblocks for VIP I and up - Creative
    It is a neat little plugin which uses skulls as blocks and adds images onto them to turn them into a small object. You can get a huge variety of blocks including a taco! Use /mb to find out more.

    Fix to TnT on Survival
    Thanks to epic_poke8 for finding this issue and bringing it to our attention. It has now been fixed.

    I'm not going into details on the last two, the summary said it all. Big update today, fingers are numb now. I can typing!

    Please no micro blocks on survival. They lag like hell, and they look bad when they're used improperly.

    They're just player heads that are re-textured, not the proper micro-blocks that you see in feed the best or something.
