BG NETWORK

We're still working on some cool features!

So far we have added the following:

• Ability for anybody with Gold rank or higher to execute "/fly" and fly in hub servers.
• New server selector item in hubs to be able to select an server to join.
• New /hub command to work across every single server of ours to go back to hub.
• New gems currency which will be synced across the network: These will possibly be able to purchase ranks + server benefits / boosters by completing completely free to do in-game quests.
• /link should now work accross all servers.
• /verify should now work in hub servers.
• Added more protection tools, i.e. preventing admins from accidently breaking blocks in protected areas by making staff toggle spawn editor
• Legacy bans will become unable to be removed by normal staff members (Trial Moderators / Moderators) after 1st November 2026, any ban appeals for legacy bans after this will not be able to be removed and will need to be forwarded to an administrator in a case-by-case basis for genuine mistakes.
• Scoreboard & tablist change across all of our servers to account for new currencies and modern symbols.
• Added /report <reason> and /reporthistory to be able to report builds and view your report history and see the status of your reports. /reportplayer <player> <reason> has been left untouched and will still work the same.
• Improvements to synced network bans, currency and permissions.
• Added a purchase complete popup for when a player completes a purchase with the price paid + product name + how to get support for it.
• Other smaller improvements designed to improve performance.

We're always open to the suggestions of the community! Please let me know if you have suggestions here.

Hello everybody!

I've been making some big changes as you probably can see. We're moving away from a solo survival SMP server and moving into something greater! Yes, We're becoming a Minecraft server network.

Now this alone will come with some large changes such as the way data transfers between servers. A few key things to note is that the only things that currently remain persistent between all of our servers is bans and ranks. While we do have plans to implement a new currency that can be used across all games by completing quests, this isn't done yet and probably will not be for a while. These changes also introduced a new primary server address!

What to expect as we prepare for a server version upgrade

We're planning on doing another Minecraft Version Update! 26.1.2 -> 26.2

What does this mean for everyone?

• New main primary server version will become 26.2, this means that the recommended version will switched from 26.1.2 to 26.2
• All current world saves may be effected in accordance of Minecraft's built in world migrator.
• All current loaded chunks should remain unchanged! This means your builds shouldn't be affected.
• For all unloaded chunks there will be new world generation features, this means biomes may become weird or strange, when this update does go live, please let us know of any issues with biome generation between previously unloaded and loaded chunks.

We do not currently have a scheduled upgrade day, though it is fairly likely to occur following the first stable PaperMC 26.2 release.
