AcidIsland
Hall Of Fame season running on AcidIsland server just ended, mainly because players were just leveraging it to farm free vouchers while there were not actually that many players playing AcidIsland. At this point, we're unable to confirm when the next AcidIsland server reset will come or if Hall Of Fame will still be a thing on AcidIsland - this mainly depends on the amount of players who are interested in actually playing AcidIsland server.Store and Vouchers
We're planning to remove some P2W items from the store and changing Hall Of Fame Vouchers a bit within the next few days, to prevent players from hijacking whole HOF seasons making it difficult if not impossible for others to play.MineCars
You can now race against others on our new MineCars! To use them you need to /vote or be a Hero+ rank. Any minecart is a MineCar, just ride it and drive awayMarriages
We're stepping up our roleplay here, you can now marry other players with /marry!Spawn and PvP
Our builders provided us with a brand new Spawn and a brand new PvP arenaVoting

Prove your worth at /parkour, we prepared for youNew Rank Colors
We are working on a load of changes and updates, among others we would also like to change the colors of our donor ranks so that each rank could have its own unique color, for this we would like your opinion so vote here which color combination you like the mostChat Games
This one has been requested since quite a bit of time, you will start seeing chat games now every hour or so, the classics "Unscramble the word", "Math question" and "Type the following" (we're open to suggestions for more games you'd like to see)Video Editor Applications
We are looking for Video Editors! You can apply for the position hereNew PvP Knockback
This is also something a lot of you have been suggesting since a while, we now changed the knockback values on all the gamemodes based on your valuable feedback provided on /go pvp, the changes are effective everywhere starting from now1.17 Plans
Yes, 1.17 when. We are waiting for 1.17 Minecraft (set to release around mid year), after that it will be a couple of weeks wait time for the server version to be released and once that's out we'll try to reset and update SurvivalPlus to thatAnvil Color Preview
Really minor quality of life update but, if you have a rank that lets you, when you try to color items in anvil you will see the live preview of what the name will be instead of seeing the ugly & everywhereRules Less Strict
We're trying to correct our aim and improve our rules and punishments, for this reason we slightly changed the punishments issued in some cases and we will also be less strict when it comes to handling ban appeals.Party Limits
We're trying to address the issue of big parties in PvP without also affecting everyone else so from now on friendly fire will be automatically toggled on when there are 30 or more party members onlineDid you know...?
This section is for the forgotten features that we never announced that I come across and that I feel deserve their own mentionTomorrow there will be a surprise for all the Creative players... Not 1.17, not yet sorry.
Factions reset is finally here! Due to a few last-minute bugs (player power, wilderness, etc) we had to delay reset a bit :( That being said the are quite a few changes, you should start by checking out new, updated rules for the Factions server: https://www.extremecraft.net/rules/details/

As reward for winning the competition, if you decide to join the team, you will receive a starting coupon worth 50€New Levelling System
We came up with a solution that would let you level up and at the same time give you enough space to build a nice looking island with no compromises.
You now have /is addlevels, this will open an inventory in which you drop in Coal, Iron, Gold, Emerald, Redstone, Lapis, Quartz or Diamond blocks and they will be consumed and turned into points.
New Spawn and PvP
Our builders provided us with a brand new Spawn and PvP arena (Credits: BlueberryDaFloor, PlotChat and DaddyOmer)Scoreboard
SkyBlock will now have a sidebar showing useful info. You can toggle it in /sett if you like.New Economy
We tried to come up with a new economy that hopefully will keep things a bit more interesting and aim for a less AFK-focused gameplay.New Starter Islands
You can select from a wide range of new starter islands based on different biomes when you start playing now.Reworked Lottery
The old lottery was obviously too difficult, nobody would ever win so we reworked it entirely, we got rid of numbers and combinations and a winner is guaranteed to be selected twice a day.
Server NPCs and Spawn
Following the lead of some other servers we also added NPCs that will connect you to all our gamemodes, this will make it easier for newcomers to have an overview of what we offer without going through the selector menu. Also they just look cool. (Thanks to Ivri22 for the edits and improvements to the spawn area)Collectibles and Reset
We decided to rework the core of our lobby plugin and took the chance to start fresh and reset all the data of the past years so we could also apply some balance changes and fix some exploits that gave people infinite coinsSo collectibles got reset too, we also changed locations so don't worry about the old coords you saved somewhere as they won't help you.
To spice up things a little bit this time the reward will be a little more fulfilling, in fact you will unlock the exclusive [LobbyExplorer] title that you will be able to use anywhere on the server, the title cannot be bought.
Snake Trains
We found and fixed the Snake Trains that never made it to the public lobby, you can ride them and they'll show you the entire map.Bug Fixes
Several bugs affecting the lobby since its release were also fixed as well as some false kicks from the anticheat.BuildBattle, Pixel Art?
This is a side announcement regarding the latest BuildBattle, this time around the theme is Pixel Art.
We feel like we never gave enough love to all the players with skills in this building style and this will be an interesting change of pace.
This month we added 4 new maps, revamped/improved 4 maps and removed other 4 maps.
New Maps
Improved Maps
We went over some of the old maps and made them more PvP friendly:Removed Maps
And here are the removed maps:New Feedback System
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.
Minor Changes
SurvivalGames
This is a bit offtopic but we will soon start testing our new SurvivalGames that will not be pay-to-win and will share the core used in our BedWarsWho 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
How to join?
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.Why?
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.Bro, what about PvP?
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.Why is X command missing?
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.Where is the shop?
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 thisWhat about my kits?
For now there won't be any kit other than the starter kit, kit claim and kit basic. The true [Member] way.Why is X not working?
If you find bugs please report them here and we'll fix them as soon as possible: https://www.extremecraft.net/tickets/new/5/1st place - JTchai (/p v 890;861)
2nd place - Emili_a (/p v -195;-10)
3rd place - zi_u (/p v 199;100)
4th place - dreamier (/p v -199;71)
5th place - MysteriaHD (/p v 113;-201)
And we're back.
For the fourth time we rework and reset prison, this time our main focus was to add enough features to keep things interesting but at the same time to not change too much the good old prison everyone likes.
Bombs
We added bombs to ease your mining sessions, also they just look cool. There are several types of bomb and you can unlock them through crates or Lucky BlocksLucky Blocks
Introducing: LuckyBlocks. They randomly spawn in mines, hit them and they'll reward you with cool stuff.Enhanced Pickaxes
Forget those boring pickaxes you're used to, the new ones have XP and can be leveled up to unlock cool upgrades. It works with shears too.Other changes
