• We will be involving the community more in future updates thanks to this. We see and listen to you guys and are trying to make an effort to improve the current situation, and you can help. One way of doing that is by publicly testing possible changes and updates.
  • Current plans for public testing: Flag Poison changes, Pyro changes, Chemist Jump Boost changes (this)
  • More regarding this coming soon.

• EU vs. US #7: Taking place on the 28th at 3pm EST. Detailed information on this soon.
• Backend work: CTF will be moved onto the new backend soon to improve server performance

Love and waffles!

 

Of course.

The 15 block restriction only applies to the vortex, you can still use the wind element to fly. Clarified that above now.

 

Fashionista's crafting bench is obviously not affected.

 

I think inventory saving broke when custom item names were added, I'll fix it tomorrow. I've been trying to figure out what causes the ghost class/not having any items but I didn't manage to find the cause yet :/ I know it's not necessarily connected to using /saveinv though, I've been getting the problem by just relogging. Will update you again when I fixed it :L
