Hello CubeCrafters!
You might have noticed that today is the 09/21/2016 (or 21/09/2016 if you’re not American ;) ) - the last day of summer and Freebuild is still in maintenance. Let’s talk about that.
Now first let me apologize, when we took Freebuild in to maintenance all that time ago we didn’t think it would be down for anywhere near as long as this. When we looked at the project we thought that it would be a small project that at most would take a couple of months, how wrong we were. Once we met as a team and decided to work on it we thought of all the features we would like to have. As a team we decided if we were going to fix Freebuild, we might as well make it awesome!
Work began and I am glad to say that we have accomplished all the goals that we set ourselves. Our initial plan is to roll out Creative once all our team is back from Minecon. Whilst I would have loved to have released it today I think you can agree that it is a good idea not to release a major update a day before our team gets on planes to head to the biggest Minecraft convention!
I know it’s been a hard and long time for this update but trust me, there has been constant work. You may have also noticed that I said we will be releasing Creative but haven’t mentioned SkyBlock or Factions. For us the main thing we want to release is our new system for handling plots. The way we’re doing Creative is completely different than any other server has done. It has to be able to handle hundreds, even thousands of players everyday! This means we’re releasing Creative to make sure all of this works 100% before releasing SkyBlock. Factions will make a comeback at some point but that is a completely different system all together.
I hope that this excites you all as much as it has me and I am very sorry for the time it has taken to get to this point. As a way of easing the pain here are a few images of what we have coming for you (if you don’t want to see the spoilers, scroll quickly!)
