    It's been a few days since I made that post asking for feedback and I'm here to tell you that we've been hard at work making things happen. We've redone the factions server, fixed some crucial deadlife bugs, and gotten a youtuber!

    GhostGaming
    @ghostgamingyt will be streaming and recording on Minetime a lot now including a stream of the Factions reset! He's a super chill guy and a good friend of mine. You should definitely subscribe to him on youtube and twitch, and follow him on twitter.

    Deadlife
    Like I said in my change log post, voting rewards and level saving are both fixed. You'll be happy to see that you have your level from around a month ago. There won't be any issues with level saving in the future now.

    Punisher
    Factions is the first server to have our new Punisher plugin. This plugin will take the place of Minemute and handle all bans, tempbans, kicks and mutes on the network. All actions will be logged to a database so we can easily look up all records for a player. Punishments will also now sync across the network. If you get banned on Prison then you will also be banned on Infection. If you get muted on Skywars you'll also be muted on Factions. All servers will have this in the next 24 hours.

    Factions
    We reset the factions server and added a bunch of new stuff. New things include:
    • New spawn
    • New mob arenas
    • New mob arena classes
    • New mob arena rewards
    • New pvp arena
    • New world with 10k border
    • Mob catcher
    • Silk spawners
    • Kit pvp
    Mob Arena
    Each rank now has their own mob arena class. You can use this to go dominate in mob arena. You are of course allowed to use all the kits below your rank.

    We've also added FIVE new mob arenas! They are much larger than the old ones and have different waves. The highest level is now 100 and you get rewarded based on how far you get.

    PVP Arena
    We created a new PVP arena away from spawn. This is a larger arena that will have enough room for a lot of people to come fight at once. You can get here by typing /warp pvp anywhere in game.

    Kit PvP
    This is a kit that is available for purchase in Buycraft @ https://premium.buycraft.net. When you buy it you get it one time upon purchase. The kit includes:
    • Protection 6 unbreaking 3 diamond armor
    • 2x sharpness 6 looting 5 knockback 2 fireaspect 2 diamond sword
    • Power 6 infinity 1 flame 2 punch 2 bow
    • 1 arrow
    • Sharpness 6 fireaspect 2 diamond axe
    • 5 gold apples
    • 5 god apples
    • Fire resistance potion
    • 5x splash potions of harming 2
    • 3x splash potions of poison 2
    • 3x splash potions of healing 2
    You can buy this kit at any time via Buycraft.

    Mob Catcher
    Donors can now throw eggs (regular chicken eggs) at mobs and have a chance at catching them. This will let you capture animals and spawn them with eggs later. This is very useful for things like creepers to raid bases.

    Executive and above can catch passive mobs. Admin and above can catch hostile mobs.

    SilkSpawners
    CEO and above can now use silk touch to mine spawners. This will let them pick up spawners and place them wherever they like. Great for making grinders.

    Woah, I almost fainted when I heard about the new plugin that bans people automatically! I hope I'm very careful what I type!

    You almost fainted? That's a bit extreme.

    The new plugin doesn't ban people automatically. What happens is a Moderator will type /ban <player> <reason> on a server, like Creative, and it will automatically ban them from all the servers. Console doesn't have the power to ban.

    Is there a bug taking ranks away on Factions? Also, will there be more Beta Testers soon?

    Where is the Kit-PvP buycraft option? I can't seem to find it. Help?
    Is it located under Extras?

    Hey, great changes so far, Trent! :D I have a few questions though. Does the SilkSpawners plugin go to all servers? And, when will you add your plugin that customizes what you pick up in KitPvP?

    I've been busy with Factions and Infection so I haven't gotten a chance to test and deploy my new picky pickup plugin. That will be coming soon to multiple servers.

    Silkspawners is only for factions :)
