    General - Spigot 1.8 is here!
    After a six hour push last night, spigot 1.8 is now running on Survival, Vanilla+, and the hub server. We still need to work on getting Creative up to speed.
    No more quasi-1.8, all features are functional (including world gen)

    New players can right click the sign in /warp pve to be teleported to a random location on the border of spawn! No more need to walk around though chunks you can't edit in!

    30 Day Server Statistics
    Here are some numbers we gathered over a 30 day period on Survival and Vanilla.
    Code:
    Most players (S:V) - 23:5
    Player-seconds (S:V) - 335040:12281040
    Player-days (S:V) - 142:4
    This means that, over the past 30 days, players spent a collective 142 days on survival and only 4 days on vanilla.
    (full stats in spoiler if you care to see them)
    And finally, the dream-team that pulled together to have 23 people on survival at the same time:
    thodazarexrt, TheTechGeek245, HoosierPuma4, shadwfax, SKATER_GIRL19, IAMWILDCAT556, lachie314159265, Xanna01, MyEternalPassion, specialdlivry, stinkybrian1002, Mokoum, PieSquared761, KorkyOfRoblox, ezeiger92, Freeday69, TrainerJade, Brettlebean, epic_poke8, MrPiggie57, weston1112, wrong_realm, and SimplyGreen03.

    Survival - PVE Spawn Cleanup
    http://www.shadecrest.com/site/threads/6607
    We have demolished more old builds, as well as mark a border around the spawn, but more importantly...

    Survival - 1.8 and World Gen
    http://shadecrest.com/site/threads/6618
    As we have migrated to full 1.8, be on the lookout for a new mining world and nether very soon. Ocean monuments.

    Survival - Nether Portal Linkage
    Nether portal linking (as you may have noticed) has changed quite a bit. Going from the nether back to mining world should no longer drop you past the edge of the world in an ocean, the distances are now scaled by world size and world center. Unfortunately this means existing nether portals have been linked to a new location, but a nether reset is coming soon, so it won't be a problem much longer :)

    Survival - New Commands
    Though not completely functional yet, be on the lookout for these commands very soon!
    They are all working now!
    • [DONE] /warps | Alias for /warp list
    • [DONE] /shops | Alias for /shop list
    • [DONE] /shop register <warp_name> | Registers one of your warps (<warp_name>) to the shops list
    • [DONE] /shop unregister <warp_name> | Removes <warp_name> from the shops list
    • [DONE] /warp cost [player] | Check the cost of creating a warp for yourself/[player]
    • [DONE] /warp purchase <name> | Creates a warp named <name> at your current location, charges what /warp cost lists
    Survival - Christmas!
    http://www.shadecrest.com/site/threads/6827/
    awastedlife has started up the Christmas celebration by creating a Christmas tree contest. Everyone that posts in the thread will receive a present, but the player who makes the best tree well specially rewarded!
