Can't believe yall really removing Team Skywars but keep solo skywars.. What's the point of playing with friends when there's no team gamemode. This is ridiculous.. The reason I bought my rank was purely because of speed eggwars and team skywars and their both getting / got removed now..
🎮 The Future of CubeCraft Java ☕
- Thread starter Story
- Start date
Just started playing Minecraft again after about 7 years. Was excited to come across this server for the varying game types and genuine feel to it. Sad to see it being changed so soon after joining but do understand the growing need for change. Would be cool to see games for players without VIP only to play, kind of a bummer joining a game and every time at least 1 or more players has an advantage over the others due to an out of game purchase which seems highly unfair. - An authentic player review
Agree with this as well. There are other ways to gain player mobility than taking away games that ya'll likely don't even play yourselves. Focused on analytics !
So the way you all have found to fix all the java problems and get more players is to basically destroy the network. As many people have said, this is the second part of the big change, which was a catastrophe for the whole network.
You all say you haven't thrown the towel and that you will try to keep the java network running and get more players to get the removed gamemodes back in the future. To do that you have taken the amazing decision of removing some of the most popular games such as lucky islands, remove all the actually good maps and keep gamemodes no one cares about such as parkour. If this wasn't enough and as a pay-back you are keeping all the store prices as they are (which let me say they are ridiculously overpriced).
You are just trying to kill the server intentionally, because you know that directly closing the whole java network would cause a reaction even worse than this. This way you are forcing players to leave. Those players have spent a lot of money, and the most valuable thing we have, time, a lot of time playing here just to see how you ruin what you have been building for 10 years with just a single stupid decision. I used to think you were actually creating a plan to save the java network and that you had a good solution in mind, but I see your plan consists on slowly killing the network intentionally to finish up closing it.
I don't use to criticise anyone in this way, but I think this decision is the worst possible just in the worst moment, just see how many of the most experienced players of the network say they are leaving because you literally destroyed everything.

This is probably a good moment for the server to start over again. Maybe you guys can like think of new original games or something. But i do think its stupid that youre removing your only original game and minerware which is 1 of your more popular games and its also stupid that your stripping the pvp games to the bare minimum. If you do want to do this, maybe its a good idea to let the community decide what they want to stay. This way you can get new players and you also dont destroy the old community. Ill still be playing cubecraft as i do want to see the server succeed seeing as its my fav server with lots of friends.

I honestly don't care about java so... ok
And I don't think it's a bad decision since the server was already DEAD, and that's it.

Si volviese la 1.8 muchos jugadores volverían a jugar y grabar en vuestro servidor, pero todo esto que estáis haciendo para "revivir" el servidor de java creo que ya llega tarde y no os quedará otra que cerrar.... 
yes pls we need that, like a legacy leaderboard or something
Meanwhile, I still can't find a warning on the store, they still sell ranks as they have been.
Imagine that. A day before removing most everything, you can still buy the overpriced ranks that promise you features for games that won't exist in 1 day.
That's just beyond sad. They have to change and remove the server to cut cost...... sad, but whatever. Trying to get the last few bucks out of the unaware? Disgusting.

Hey CubeCrafters!
Nearly 10 years ago CubeCraft was created by @rubik_cube_man , this birth occurred on the original version of Minecraft, Java Edition. We've been a Java server for most of our history, we pioneered all of our current Bedrock games on this version. Today we sit here with a huge platform which has held over 25 games loved by tens of millions of players all over the world.
I was one of these millions of players, joining in 2014 to pass time whilst I was in school, it ended up being more fun than I could've imagined and now I've been here for 8 years and now operate internally with the rest of the team working on making those same experiences for other players.
Working at CubeCraft has been super fun, I love spending months on updates and then watching all of you experience it and talk about it. Those release days are always my favourite even if they are a bit stressful! One of the things I've learned from being on the CubeCraft Team is that sometimes tough decisions need to be made.
Even as a loving dedicated community member I am faced with one reality, our Java platform is struggling. It cannot support itself with 1,000 players, especially with its current structure which was intended for way more.
I don't want to be a big Godzilla and ruin everything for all of you, I came onto the CubeCraft team to make things better no matter what, sometimes this can only be achieved by taking risks.
At this time, Java needs to grow beyond 1,000 players or we will need to close it. This is sad news but rather than come to you today to tell you we are closing Java, we are here instead to unveil some of our big plans to deliver amazing experiences to even more players, to inspire them like I was way back in 2014.
So what is happening exactly?
Update to 1.19
We will be fully updating CubeCraft Java & Bedrock to Minecraft 1.19.
Starting from today, our team will be focussed on bringing a huge 1.19 update to Java & Bedrock, featuring all new content, as such we will not be making any changes to the network for approximately 4 months until this is completed.
It will be all hands on-deck for this exciting new chapter, we cannot wait to welcome you all (and frogs View attachment 214671) into the new CubeCraft era with all the amazing content that comes with it.
Java Changes
One of the issues we've currently addressed from our player reduction is a lack of games starting in many periods of the day. We have decided to remove these games & modes in order to keep the network going until we can relaunch our amazing update in a few months.
As of September 5th, Java will only consist of the following library of games:
- Solo SkyWars
- Solo Lucky Islands
- Teams of 4 EggWars
- Free for All
- Skyblock
- Parkour
View attachment 214670
In addition to these changes we will also be reducing Lucky Islands, SkyWars & EggWars to 6 maps each.
These changes are in preparation for our 1.19 update on the horizon, which will have much more polished maps featuring many new mechanics from all the versions we've missed. We've made this change early to avoid confusing players on release.
Our new 1.19 maps will have more map-only features for example; a swamp map with mangrove trees & boats at mid. A nether map in the nether dimension with blazes at mid that drop items or striders that take you to generators above lava. The possibilities are endless!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What maps are staying?
A:
Solo Lucky Islands:
- Pirates
- Luck
- Village
- Underwater
- Candy
- Nest
- Blizzard
- Bloom
- Trees
- Shrine
- Explosive
- Ping Pong
Team EggWars:
- Mushroom
- Olympus
- Palace
- Ruins
- Beach
- Fairytale
Q: Is there any chance for these modes to be added back again?
A: Absolutely. We are currently in a position where we need to grow our network, additional content can return once we're certain they can start in all times again and that they are still fun!
Q: Why can't you just put them in featured games and keep this system?
A: Featured Games as a concept was intended to have players squeeze together into small timeframes so that the games could start properly and wouldn't need to be removed. We are at a point where even featured games cannot be supported, it's also a difficult system to maintain. We'd like to focus our efforts on the remaining popular games and new exciting content to grow the network.
Q: Are the removed Java-only games going to be on Bedrock?
A: They could in the future, we currently have no plans for those specific games however we'd like to try everything in our Bedrock 'Beta Games' at some point to see how they perform on that platform.
Q: If you aren't doing updates for 4 months, is Halloween cancelled?
A: Due to the fact that seasonal updates don't require much development resources and that we had most of it completed already. We've decided to release Halloween as normal in October!
We all remember the excitement of enjoying CubeCraft for the first time, the buzz of meeting new friends and having new experiences. I'm very excited to get Java back to this point so we can provide amazing experiences through the Java platform once again like we did all those years ago.
That's everything we have for you today, thank you so much for reading!

Genuine question, does reducing the number of maps for Lucky Islands, EggWars, and SkyWars reduce operation costs for the server? If so, how?

oh yeah I forgot but will it be possible to swim on bedrock now once it updates to 1.19?
Then, could you leave some more maps? Only 6 seem too few, and the gamemodes games that are going to stay almost always keep filling up
I understand it, but it's not really soon, there won't be any updates for 4 months (until 2023). What would be wrong to add a few more maps during this waiting period?
