Hey Guys,
It's Matt, the owner of MCFun Central.
If you connect to MCFun Central right now, you will notice a big change: Halloween decorations!
We have decided to start switching the server a bit every holiday to keep up with holidays while still keeping the mood of the MCFun Servers. Since Halloween is approaching at greater speed than we thought, we have decided to start decorating for Halloween.
While we want to continue to make the server especially exciting by switching the server theme every major holiday, we didn't want to make a complete change to the server. Therefore, we will only decorate the main spawn and not any of the minigame spawns. However, you can always voice your questions or concerns in the comments section or on Twitter!
Big thanks to our co-owner and decorator for every theme, sharpdomino. She knows what she's doing when she starts decorating.
Now, moving on to a bigger update: The MCFun Overhaul.
Back in August, we announced that we would be turning the MCFun Servers into a network linked with BungeeCord. Some major changes included that the servers would be connected with portals, we would be making our own plugins for our minigames and possibly our own minigames, we would hire builders to revamp our spawns to match the theme of our new name, The Extrillius Network. We announced that changes would start taking place in October, but we ran into a few problems:
1) All the plugin APIs are crumbling down due to riots involving money, so there is no way that we can get new plugins until the new Sponge API comes out.
2) Switching from Elementary school to Junior High has put weight on my shoulders that I have not learned to deal with, and as a result, is keeping my busy even during the weekends.
3) Because of the busyness and the fact that Codecademy doesn't have Java, I haven't set my mind on learning Java or the Bukkit/Spigot API.
4) In addition to me being busy, all the other staff members of the MCFun Servers have been busy as well, and since Bernard moved, it's more difficult to find a good time to talk to him.
Therefore, while we want the changes to start taking effect now, we can't have that. We are trying to plan the overhaul, which includes both ideas and money balance over the (currently) three servers. The changes might start taking effect next month or even in December, but what I know is that we will try our hardest to get the overhaul out for the MCFun Servers' 1 Year Anniversary, which is on December 9th.
We're sorry for all of this trouble, but we'll find a way to put the overhaul onto our calendars.
~ Matt
