Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing good!
All the stars that help us decide when a game needs to reset have aligned for Oneblock.
The last Oneblock reset was (almost) 3 years ago. In the meanwhile we have matured many of our in-house features and systems and kept updating to latest Minecraft versions till version 1.21.11 (started on 1.20.1 originally). We’ve now reached a point where a fresh start is warranted!
The past year we’ve also invested in our own “in-house” server hardware, to cut down on monthly recurring server costs, and to help boost server performance by using more higher-end hardware. Because of this we are also able to keep more older servers running in “The Archive”. The current Oneblock server will be moved over there after the new Oneblock is out, and will remain play-able for at least 6 months in The Archive. This should give everyone enough time to world download your builds and island.
These past few months I have been hard at work behind the scenes to prepare the much requested Oneblock Reset.
Running on 26.1.2
On release day the server will run the current latest version of Minecraft: 26.1.2
New spawn
A brand new spawn, inspired by the current spawn, build by @Orange_AB. It’s a masterpiece in my honest opinion.
New pvp island
Sitting next to the main spawn island is our pvp island of course, this time it’s at least 5 times bigger. The main island is connected to it by two separate bridges, these allow you to enter the pvp island from two angles.
Smaller initial island size, and larger max island size
When starting out the initial island will be smaller, 10x10 (instead of 20x20 previously), this was done to make the early game harder, expanding your island (and building farms) will take more effort now. Islands can still be expanded in the traditional ways that you are used to (by mining the magic one block & progressing through phases, spending island points on upgrades or by supporting the server). The max island size has increased from 500 to 1000 blocks.
New in-house farming system
I got tired of reports of growstations getting stuck and not being able to do anything about it, so I decided to re-create the whole farms system in-house and added subtle improvements such as “player head skulls” rendering in some of the messages the farming feature sends. I’ve also added support for custom models/crops that I intend to add in future updates.
Daily Shop Global Stock & per player purchase limits for rare items
Rare and epic items can now only be purchased in limited quantities! Rare items have no global stock, but a player can only purchase a max of 16x of X rare item per day. Epic items have a global stock of 32 per item and a max of 4 per player, per item. When global stock of an item has depleted, the item becomes “Out of stock” and others can no longer purchase that specific item for the rest of the day.
Titles Update
Our titles now fully support rgb/hex colors & gradients, allowing for much greater customization of your personal titles.
New vehicles
Swapped to a new in-house maintained vehicles system. The main reason for the swap was to allow for faster updates in the future when newer Minecraft versions come out. Some new vehicles you can obtain: kart, quad, cybercar, jetski, ufo
New spawn minigames
A few new spawn mini-games have been added they are scattered around spawn. The new games include: Connect-Four, TicTacToe, Whack-A-Mole, Skeet Shooting and Moving Targets. The latter two are both archery mini-games.
Better bedrock compatibility
Many of our plugins have received better support and compatibility with Minecraft Bedrock edition. Roughly 25/30% of our playerbase plays on Minecraft Bedrock edition, and it’s important to continue improving the experience for those players. We added more bedrock friendly menus to: Redeem-able items (vouchers), Daily Shop, Minions, /homes & more.
Leaderboard Cosmetic Trophies
Reaching top 5 on certain (monthly) leaderboards will now allow you to claim a trophy for your accomplishment. Each trophy is unique to the leaderboard that granted it. Trophies can be placed (like a block) and displayed on your island. I intend to grant some unique trophies for the alltime leaderboards of this past Oneblock release (from 2023).
Backpacks wearable and custom models
Our backpacks plugin has received support for custom backpack models, and we added the ability to wear the backpack on your back.
Resource Pack
Because of the above-mentioned updates, the game will require a resource pack in order for certain features to work.
Balanced enchanments
Many enchantments have been fine-tuned, certain enchant combinations that where possible before are now no longer possible. The most OP enchants where affected the most.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on some of these updates, do you think they will be good or bad? Are you hyped? Feel free to leave comments on this post. I love reading them good and bad
When is Oneblock resetting?
Oneblock is resetting Friday June 12th @ 8 PM CEST
Purchases from the past 60 days are resent on the new oneblock (this excludes ranks & rank crate keys).
I think I covered everything I could think of, this post might get edited if needed, to add extra information or to make corrections. I suggest re-reading it again a few days before release!
With regard to the overall server network, I’d like to mention that @fweef has been taking care of Kingdoms since April. He has been focusing on fixing bugs and adding new features over there. This has allowed me to free up time for some of our other games such as Parkour & MobMashers. I of course also have plans for some of our other games, but those will get announced once the “Stars have aligned” and once the release dust from Oneblock has settled a bit.
Thank you very much for reading this announcement and for playing on our network, I hope this reset scratches your Oneblock itch. Looking forward to seeing everyone online again on June the 12th.
Kind regards,
Cloakfox
