Spooky season is here! v0.5.0 kicks off the Halloween Event with a daily grave hunt around the hub, and brings a new Map app, Double XP weekends and a big round of polish across the lobby and games.

Halloween Event

  • Grave Hunt: three glowing graves now appear around the hub. Find them and right-click to pull out a Soul.
  • New graves rise every day, so check back daily to find them all.
  • Each grave can be claimed once per player, and graves you've claimed stop glowing for you.
  • Take your Souls to the Soul Master to trade them for a random coin reward.
  • Sneak and right-click the Soul Master to trade all your Souls at once.
  • Souls roll as Common, Uncommon, Rare or Legendary, so good luck!
  • The Witch Hat has a brand new, more detailed model.

General

  • The Map app is on the Phone! Open it to fast travel to Spawn, the Marketplace, Apartments, the Bank, Jobs, the Halloween Event, the Fishing Isles, Callisto, the Solaris Building and the Town Hall.
  • The server now requires 26.1.2 or newer, because of resource pack limitations.
  • Double XP + Coins Weekends are here.
  • The Friends List menu is back, with updated graphics.
  • Your name is now coloured by your title and rank in chat and the tablist.
  • The Big Leaf model has a new display size and position.
  • The raffle has a new texture.
  • Glowing now uses custom shaders.
  • Every button, slider and text field has a brand new pink Solaris style.
  • Players with no title and no rank now get their own icon.

Lobby

  • Right-click Craig to open your mail.
  • Right-click Travel Tilly to open the Map.
  • The Back to Spawn button in the Game Selector has a new look.
  • Players' titles now show right below the name above their head.

Games

  • Lots of game messages now use small caps, for a consistent look.
  • You can see every spectator when a game ends.
  • When a game ends, your hotbar jumps to the first slot so you don't leave by accident.
  • A new tip reminds you that you can change the music volume with the Narrator/Voice slider in Music & Sounds.
  • Spectator items have custom textures.

Dodgeball

  • The dodgeballs have a new look.
  • Matches are now 5 minutes instead of 10.
  • A tip at the start of the game reminds you that you can punch a ball to pick it up. More tips are on the way, and they'll be randomised.
  • Hearts above players' names show how many lives they have left.
  • Coloured team icons now show before player names.
  • Players now spawn at a rotating set of positions, so nobody spawns inside each other.
  • A title and subtitle show which teams are facing off.
  • The "Dodgeball match starting!" message is gone, and the chat countdown has been replaced with an on-screen title.

Cataclysm

  • When you jump from the bus at the start, a tip reminds you that you don't take fall damage or elytra damage.
  • An action bar message tells you to crouch to jump off.

Bug fixes

General

  • Fixed the Competitive menu sometimes showing the wrong rank.
  • Fixed the raffle needing 5 players in the lobby instead of 5 on the whole server.
  • Fixed a missing space between the rank icon and the rank or title banner in chat for players with ranks, like staff.

Package Delivery

  • Fixed the delivery arrow going off-screen on some GUI scales. It now always sits just above your hotbar.

Games

  • Fixed chat not working properly before a game starts.

Dodgeball

  • Fixed dodgeballs being able to despawn.

Cataclysm

  • Fixed being able to throw out the barriers in your inventory before the game starts.
