Plugins now available to server owners
From Doctacosa

As many of you already know, I've written multiple server plugins over time. Some were created to add brand new features, others to replace existing plugins that went unmaintained or weren't reliable enough.

Considering the amount of work I've put into these, I figured I'd go the extra distance and make them publicly available! As of now, I have five plugins ready for download, with more being planned for an eventual release.

If you're interested, you can access all the important links on a new page on Interordi. This currently includes downloads on Spigot and Polymart, plus their full source code on GitHub.

This isn't something that will be relevant to most of you, as you're already having fun playing on the Creeper's Lab, but some here also run their own servers and might have a use for them!

Building Contest: Brixton Estate
From Twixxi

The (lesser known) Interior Decorator's Guild invites you to take part in a building contest!

The Contest is being held at the Brixton Estate (West Nether Line to Alucard, then up one floor). There are 24 identical plots available to choose from, which the observant may notice already have houses built on them. The focus of this contest is interior and garden decoration, not building skills. Add a sign with your name to the plot you wish to claim.

The Contest is open now and will close on 8th August!

Shop for microblocks at the Mini Mart!
From Doctacosa

Those looking for a bit more variety in building blocks are welcomed to visit the newest destination in Central's Commercial District - the Mini Mart!

Image

The Mini Mart offers microblock versions of the standard blocks in the game, opening up some new possibilities for decor within your builds. This is done using disguised player heads, so you can orient the blocks the way you want.

Designed by Kimonellos, the place offers pretty much every single block in the game, including the newest 1.17 goodies, and plans to be expanded for future game updates.

The trades are a 1:1 between the regular material and the microblock. Be sure to grab the instructions book within (to your right after entering) for the full details.

You will find the Mini Mart in Laurasia's Central, in the Commercial District, nearby the Creeper Bazaar. Be sure to visit when you get the chance!

New Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
From Doctacosa

I'm introducting today to the entire Interordi network, including the Creeper's Lab, an official Privacy Policy alongside Terms of Use. Both are used to highlight how your data is stored and used, what expectations you can have while using the websites and game servers, and under what conditions you are allowed to access the whole network.

There is nothing crazy to be found in either documents, as they cover basic expectations you would have from most places. I was reaching a point where I needed both in order to pursue some projects, so I finally took the time to get the proper documents into place. These are requirements from third-party partners to allow use of their own tools and platforms, which I'm planning to work on in the upcoming months to add new features. As such, I invite you to review both pages when you get the chance. They are linked at the bottom of most pages here and elsewhere.

These will officially go live on 1 August 2021.

Bug fixes
From Doctacosa

There's always work to be done somewhere, and now I'm happy to confirm that two notable bugs have been fixed.

First, a correction on achievements tracking: shift-clicking items in the personal crafting grid or on a crafting table will properly count the total quantity of items crafted, so you don't need to click them one by one anymore.

Second, breaking your bed will now reset your spawn point to the world you're in, restoring the vanilla behavior. It used to be that breaking a bed wouldn't change anything, forcing you to set your spawn somewhere else manually. That's no longer needed! For this to work properly, make sure to right-click your favorite bed once again to ensure your place is set; you don't need to wait for night to come.

Now running 1.17.1!
From Doctacosa

This is the time that many of you have been waiting for: we're officially running 1.17, Caves & Cliffs: Part I! Java players, set your client to 1.17.1 to continue playing with us. Bedrock players, you're already set to go!

You might be looking for the new materials and blocks introduced in this update. To let you find them easily, a rebooted Tasmantis is now available in the survival wing of the lobby. The previous spawn town has been moved over, but the rest of the world is brand new, with a variety of biomes waiting to be discovered. Explore, gather the materials you want, and bring them elsewhere! This world is temporary - don't make builds you want to keep! It will be removed once interest dies down.

With 1.18 already promising more changes, no changes will be done to the existing worlds for now.

The resource pack downloads have been updated to clear any notification about outdated files. There is no new content available.

Science players, read on for new information from Sora!

Event: Spider Dome this weekend!
From Doctacosa

Who's in a fighting mood?

It's time to go back once again to the Spider Dome and face hordes of monsters! For those not familiar with the concept, a group of players go into the titular arena and fight waves of mobs summoned by none other than myself. Fun, tricks, laughs and deaths are all to be expected, while you get to keep the drops of anything you can get your hands on!

We'll start at 10pm, Eastern time, this Saturday. No science-based equipment allowed: bring your best, purely vanilla gear and see how you will do!

Support for Java Edition 1.17.1 has been added
From Doctacosa

Minecraft Java Edition 1.17.1 was released yesterday, and the network has been updated to allow connections from this new version. The servers themselves still run 1.16.5 and you are encouraged to stick to that version for now. Bedrock players, no changes no report.

Work on the actual update to 1.17 is progressing, but not quite ready yet due to compatibility issues with at least one plugin. I'm hoping to be able to see that through soon.

Science

It's now July, where a Warlock and Uncle Sam are engaged in a month-long conflict at the Hunter's Lodge! Can you pacify the region by calming them down... the hard way?

All Horsemen Quests have also been updated. See the Horseman Points Guide for an indepth look at the quests, points, and how to cash them in!

Guilds

This month is the one: the first people can become eligible for the title of Grand Master in each guild, and the competition appears to be fierce! The new guild targets will gradually be rotated in starting at 7pm Eastern time tonight. This also marks the opening day for the Gondwana Guild Hall for those that have gathered enough points!

If you need more information on how to claim a title of Grand Master, see Twixxi's update from last week.

Once you have been granted the rank of Master, you can obtain Council Tokens from the Master Guilds in Gondwana. These can be traded for special rewards back at the Council Chamber, at the Creeper Citadel.

If you need details on any of these, the wiki page about the Monthly Challenges is updated as soon as each of these is ready at the beginning of the month!
