Initial Season 8 Post-Launch Update

The Season 8 launch was a great success.

As staff-member Dani said herself:

this was probably the smoothest season start we’ve had since I became a mod

So yay, our efforts have paid of!

🌟 Some updates

• The cardboard boxes no longer scatter their items when broken
• The statistics on the website are updating every 30 minutes again
• The Nether is now also enabled on the live map on the website (though only a small radius of 500 blocks for now)
• Chorus cookies now teleport you twice as far (it didn't take the entire border into account earlier)

⁉️ What's next?

A few months ago we had a "Server Summit" where we talked about planned features & events. I've managed to tackle quite a few the last few weeks, but not all of them have been implemented yet, so you have those to look forward to. Some of them are:

• Base marker outline on the live map
• Planning a new post-launch feedback survey
• The shop-chest lottery
• More Discord integration (well, this is mostly to make the life of staff easier)
• Add & fix mobheads of entities with new variants
• Planning a new server summit
• Creating the world downloads of the previous seasons (yeah, this has been on the todo list since season 1)
• ...

🖼️ Show your dirt hut

Don't forget to share a pretty picture of your starter place in the screenshots channel. It can be an ugly dirt hut, a hole in the ground, or a beautiful cottage. It would be nice to have a little visual history of where everyone started this season.
