There is just one plugin we need to be updated and we have Adrian working on it right now. I hope to have us updated before Christmas.
In the meantime I have been updating our configurations and plugins on our development server and I'm pleased to say everything is working perfectly.
And to add some icing to this cake we will be using BungeeCord when we update to 1.7.4. You may not know what this is but essentially it is a proxy that sits between you and our game servers.
The reason we are using BungeeCord is because it allows you to move between servers without disconnecting from one server and rejoining another. So if you want to play on Creative you just type /server Creative and to go back to Survival you just type /server Survival
It also lets you teleport between servers so if your friend is on Creative and you're on Survival you can just type /tpa you_friends_name and once they accept your request you will teleport to them on that other server.
But perhaps the biggest tangible benefit is the in-game chat. As you guys know when a player is talking on a different server to you the chat looks terrible. Pink server name then their username appears in white after that. It just looks bad. With this new system the chat looks the same no mater who is talking and no mater which server they are talking from.
We've done some extensive testing over the past three days with BungeeCord, we've got it all setup and working brilliantly and I cannot wait to roll it out on our main servers once we update to 1.7.4.
Thanks for your continued patience and happy holidays
