Housekeeping Maintenance

This afternoon, we performed some housekeeping maintenance. In this maintenance, we:

  • Removed support for older Minecraft versions
  • Added initial support for Minecraft 1.12
  • Fixed issues with Treasure Wars boosters not applying to all types (solos, duos, trios, squads)
  • Added support for new upcoming gift types
  • Network stability improvements

Note on 1.12 support: Our support for 1.12 is in early stages, and if issues arise, may be disabled at any point. 1.12 includes some amazing improvements to performance, however, more work is needed from our side to enable this. Because of this, chunk loading may be non-optimal. For the best experience, we continue to recommend 1.11.

Updates like these may not be particularly exciting, but are necessary to keep the network in a good shape.

Enjoy playing!
