We will be adding new maps every month to keep things fresh and interesting :thumbs_up:
This month we added 4 new maps, revamped/improved 4 maps and removed other 4 maps.
- Turtles by gablalon
- Fantoriya by TheEvilRoliya_
- Rainbowsheaven by gablalon and Voidhugz
- Zepplins by BentBecker and gablalon
We went over some of the old maps and made them more PvP friendly:
- Sakura
- Pot
- Ancienttemple
- Icecream
- Tusk
- Farmland
- Easterwar
- Egghunt
We value your feedback so we added a new system that will occasionally ask you to rate maps between 1 and 5 whenever you end a game, this will help us tweak our buildings and figure out what you like and what you don't.
- Using the snowbuilder will not get you stuck in glass and get you kicked for phase hacks
- New or updated maps will be prioritized over older maps and they'll be more common for the first week after release
- Auto start on match end, when a game starts a new one will automatically start after 5 seconds (this can be toggle off)
While we set it up if you have any suggestion for kits (not locked behind ranks) we should be adding or features in general feel free to post them here and we will provide to check them out as soon as possible before the actual release.
Who would have thought we'd come this far, as far as trying our best to update everything and manage to get a 1.16.1 server up and running for you to test.
The server is SurvivalPlus and it will be the spiritual successor of our current Testing, which will be closed in the next few weeks to be used for other projects such as new minigames and gamemodes.
SurvivalPlus will then be our guinea pigs of servers, receiving the latest cutting edge updates and changes that we're too afraid to release on other servers, the first biggest update we'll be testing will be the new Minecraft 1.16.1
Simply use /go survivalplus (or /go survivalp to save 3 whole letters) while being on a 1.16 or 1.16.1 or 1.16.2 client.Attempting to join from an older client will NOT work and you will be redirected to the lobby. We feel like it would be time to slowly transition to new versions and experiment with new features and content as we feel like 1.8 has been stagnating for way too long, this test is to see if the performances of the new version can keep up with our demands and gamemodes. We added a plugin that reverts PvP to 1.8 style (spam click = you're good), however the blocking mechanic is missing so you will get to try out the new shield mechanics. Updating plugins to versions past 1.12 is no joke, it requires time and effort and in the years we accumulated hundreds of thousands of lines of code that should be carefully checked and migrated.
For this reason we decided to simply migrate first the core plugins that are required for a good survival experience, if this test turns out to be positive we'll be definitely start migrating everything else. As stated in the previous section updating some plugins requires more time than one might expect, our shop plugin is one of them and for this reason we'll run this test without a proper economy. On the bright side the vote crate looks like this
For now there won't be any kit other than the starter kit, kit claim and kit basic. The true [Member] way.
If you find bugs please report them here and we'll fix them as soon as possible: https://www.extremecraft.net/tickets/new/5/
And we're back.

We have a load of planned updates in general for the near future that you'll like.
I am once again asking for your support.
We're currently looking for capable people willing to manage our official YouTube channel in order to bring it back to life and actually start providing content for the community.
As YouTube manager you'll have some simple but important tasks:- Plan the kind of videos/series of videos
- Plan when they should be published
- Instruct our content creators on what to do
- Review the videos
- Upload the videos (optional if your connection is too slow)
You basically come up with ideas, instruct people to do them and then review the result. There's no requirement other than having good ideas and a somewhat good eye to figure out if a video looks good or not.
You're not required to know how to edit, to have a good PC, to be able to record or anything like that, as long as you can plan and watch videos you're good to go.
Although all of this is not required you're clearly allowed to edit/record if you have the chance and feel like it.
The submissions are closed! Thanks to everyone who showed interest, we'll make sure to pick a good candidate in short times.
If you're interested then feel free to submit an application in which you "showcase" some ideas for videos and/or series of videos that you'd like to push.
If the sense of pride and accomplishment wouldn't suffice to convince you to apply we're handing out coupons for each video that gets published, you can then use them yourself, give them to your friends or sell them for real money :shrug:
Or sell them to your friends that also works, nobody judges you.
Changes:
- New improved Generators (added Special generators for cannons)
- Grace period (1 week)
- /f buypower now has cooldown
- Truce/Ally limits were removed
- Improved /f inspect, added /f inspectchunk (we've also added pages to those commands)
- Added /f fly (only within your claim, would activate cooldown if there are enemy players nearby)
- Added /f vault
- Added /f warp
- Custom Factions commands are now handled by /f perm
- Buffed MagicTNT and ExtremeCreepers
- Updated AntiPhase (fixed false positives)
- Improved TNT Cannon handling (will reduce lag)
There were also some additions to the rules so be sure to check those out too.
Reporters Without Borders’ Uncensored Minecraft Library is Going to Fundamentally Undermine Government Censorship of the Press.
Minecraft - the best selling single video game of all time - may be at the forefront of a clever new method to deliver banned media to those behind oppressive government firewalls.
When Reporters Without Borders came up with the idea to build an uncensored Minecraft library, they opened up a new venue allowing citizens to see news which they otherwise would not have. On top of that, adding the ability for users to add to it themselves provides for a broad, open-sourced, uncensored news platform that foreign governments are going to find difficult to block.
It’s easy enough for regimes to block access to websites and apps, especially when those who administrate the aforementioned platforms are the ones pushing out the content which governments hostile to a free press may disapprove. It’s another story when it comes to blocking a platform like Minecraft, which already has 300 million accounts in China.
The Chinese government could theoretically ban Minecraft in the country, but the company itself, which is owned by Microsoft, isn’t creating or even promoting “The Unlicensed Library”. It is highly unlikely Microsoft would prevent a popular NGO, such as Reporters Without Borders, from developing and maintaining the downloadable world required to access the library.
Less populous countries with less pull in the business world have an even smaller chance of preventing their citizens access to the library. It doesn’t take much to download a map and servers can be run on personal PCs. The only way to truly prevent access to it is to limit access to the internet. We’ve seen internet shutoffs in the past, proving governments are willing to go to those extremes if they deem it necessary.
What remains to be seen though is how the library, and those who maintain it, respond to the misinformation which will likely arise within its pixelated halls. The library itself may end up being a window into a world iron-fisted governments don’t want you to see, but the content in it will need to be vetted. If contributors to The Unlicensed Library can do that, it’s going to become a powerful resource for those looking to maintain freedom of the press.
You can now add each other as friend with the command /friend (/f or /fr for short)
You can manage your friend list also through commands, you can see the list of available commands with /fr help
It's well known that our socials, except for Discord, were dead partially because of me.Actually only because of me, that's why we now have a Socialmedia Manager to handle our Instagram and Facebook and a team of editors and content creators that will hopefully bring back to life our YouTube channel
We're also currently hosting a Giveaway on Instagram so be sure to not miss it: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TvCsTqDZH/
Our website now also has social buttons on top so that they're more easily accessible but for the lazy ones:All you have to do is join the testing server, /vote (or click here) and your vote will contribute to the total votes for the server.
Once the server reaches a certain amount of votes (currently 50 on testing) the vote party will start and everyone who voted will be rewarded, you could even receive legendary or spawner keys.
We also added several minor updates such as:
- Fixed sand mechanics and slab blasting on Factions
- Added ender pearl support in creative mode on /creative
- Monthly meme contests on our Discord with coupon rewards
But this is not all, there are plenty of other important announcements so I'll split this announcement in 2 and post the other part in the next few days :ok_hand:
