MineCraft Server –2/16/2012 – Patch Notes v1.0.0

Plugin Changes:

Removed Plugins:

·         MCMMO – This plugin was removed from use due to excessive use of system resources and continuously being plagued with bugs that were sometimes game breaking. Your levels will not be carried over to the new RPG system as there is no equivalent exchange of levels to levels.

New Plugins:

·         Citizens – Adds a set of featured NPCs to the game that will allow repairing for a fee, guarding of towns (soon), Wizards with magical abilities (Stop or Start Storms and Time Altering Abilities!), and Questing. Quests are not yet added but as we progress we will have MMO stylized Daily Quests, Repeatable Quests, and Storyline Quests. Guards are currently buggy and will not be available until they’re fixed.

·         ScrollingMenuSign – This allows several plugins to take advantage of Signs and Maps allowing them to be turned into in-game menus that can allow you to make decisions in game without the use of a chat command.

·         Vault – Economy Assisting Plugin.

·         Spout – A server side plugin that will interact with the SpoutCraft Client allowing new interesting things to be added to your UI (User Interface) as well as new blocks, capes, and other in-game items. This requires you to use the SpoutCraft Client available for download on the Members Section of the Website. (www.obsidianorder.tk)

·         Heroes – This plugin is the RPG replacement plugin for the McMMO RPG plugin we were using before. Full details on this plugin and its services that have been made available will be listed below.

Upcoming Plugin:

·         Graveyards – Graveyards is a plugin that respawns you at a Marked Graveyard in the world. It will use the closest Graveyard to where you died allowing you to die far far away from where your home is and still be able to get back to where you were.

Enchanting:

·         Enchanting has been changed and now requires the Enchanting Skill (No classes have this skill yet) but in addition to this some enchanted items are glitchy due to Bukkit not providing what the developers need. (Java: Bukkit has not added proper Damage Hooks for Enchanted Items preventing modification through plugins which causes the plugin and game to freak out). The following items cannot be used least they have undesired results (such as dying instantly, never dying, getting killed in one hit, killing things in one hit, doing no damage, taking double damage, taking no damage and possible map corruption):

·         Armor: Protection (Any Level)

·         Armor: Explosion Protection (Any Level)

·         Armor: Arrow Protection (Any Level)

·         Weapon: Sharpness (Any Level)

·         Weapon: Smite (Any Level)

·         Weapon: Arthropods (Any Level)

·         Tools: Silk Touch (Any Level)

·         Bow: Arrow Damage (Any Level)

·         If you have any of these Enchanted Items turn them into myself and you will be awarded a monetary donation to your account as well as a fully repaired item of the same quality. Money will be granted based on the level of the enchantment not the state of repair the tool is in.

New Classes:

·         Ranger – A master of the woods and ranged combat.

·         Knight – A Melee Master that charges into combat.

·         Thief – A sneaky rogue that slips behind the enemy to finish them off.

·         Mage – Master of the Arcane, Draws on the Mystical Energies of Zodaic to punish their enemies

·         Acolyte – An Acolyte of the Goddess, Draws on Holy energies to harm enemies and heal friends.
