Minecraft 1.13 Update News
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:10 pm
Mojang released Minecraft 1.13 yesterday, and I know many of you are super excited about getting your feet wet with the update. So let me tell you where we are with both Zurvival and LVS getting the update.
LVS
LVS, also known as Latest Version Server, will be updated first! The update process is going to be much longer than previous updates, as the world format has changed and our old world will need to be upgraded. This process, based on simplistic calculations after a few test runs, will take 12 hours. As I will need to be about once it has completed to bring it back online, I have decided to schedule beginning the update process tomorrow morning, which will hopefully get it back online during peak hours tomorrow evening.
I have spent hours updating the commands which power LVS and keep it safe from wannabe griefers. I have 161 custom command functions with 108,855 commands. These have not yet been optimised for 1.13, but they have been updated to be mostly functional. I'll continue working on these of the next few days, weeks and months to get the most out of the new 1.13 commands.
Zurvival
Zurvival has been around for over 6 years, with many plugins which are almost just as old. With 1.13, many of them just won't make the cut as they are and won't be receiving updates as the original developer has left the scene. I have spent quite a few hours updating some of these plugins myself. Most notably I have the region posts plugin 100% updated to a 1.13 pre-release, and our claims plugin is in the process of being updated and will provide protection for the new blocks (all those buttons!). I've already cut a few legacy plugins which we don't need, and a few others may not make the initial jump to 1.13 but will hopefully return at a later date. Spigot itself will likely not be available for 1.13 for another week. No ETA on when the update will come to Zurvival, but I'll be checking for spigot's 1.13 release and monitoring its stability. Like LVS, the world will need to be upgraded, which will take a similar number of hours.
ZestyLand
Wait, what? Another server?? Our worlds are old, and whilst we will get the new content by regenerating our old un-lived in oceans, it's gonna be a while before they're thriving with ocean life. I'd like to announce ZestyLand, which will be running a fresh world generated in 1.13! This server will be exclusively available to Zesty Subscribers. The world itself is only temporary; I expect to support this server for about a month, at-least. Hopefully this will give you Zesties a chance to explore the new content together. ^_^

Many of our minigames will be remaining on previous versions of Minecraft server-side, but will still be accessible to play in 1.13.
