Updates, updates and more updates!
- By crazy
- 5 Oct 2020
Minecraft has never been so popular over the past 6 months during tough COVID-19 times and we've had our hands full just trying to keep up with the demand! Our devs and support team have also been busy working on updates and features for you.
More Modpacks: Last month we've added more than 60 new modpacks (and updated just over 220 modpacks) from Twitch/CurseForge, AtLauncher and FeedTheBeast. We continue to add more packs as requested by our customers!
UI Improvements: We are constantly improving the control panel interface. Along with improved mobile phone and tablet support. While still not perfect, we are adding more improvements over the next few weeks so you can control, monitor and maintain your server from the comfort of your phone.
Hardware Improvements: One of our biggest achievements for this year is upgrading of our entire server infrastructure. With the introduction of our budget and premium servers, running one of the fastest + highest core CPU combo for a Minecraft server (AMD Ryzen 9 3950x), we've never seen such amazing results and feedback from our customers. We are proud to be the only Minecraft provider in Australia running such powerful CPUs

Modpack section now loads faster.
Various spelling bugs fixed - Thanks Techman for reporting!
Upcoming feature:
Selective backup restore - December- Soon customers will have a self-service selective restore option without needing to contact support!

RL Craft time!

Our Modpack mention of the month: RL Craft!
Ready for some ultimate fun? Or frustration? This is Minecraft in a whole different perspective! Take your vanilla minecraft and throw it away as this is real life, dragons, random spawns, falling trees which kill..
We highly recommend checking out some tutorials on youtube before getting stuck into this one!
(No its not a bug that you can't chop trees with your bare hands any more!)
(Its also not a bug that you can't pickup items from the ground by simply walking over them)
As always, the modpack is tweaked and ready to install from the Plugins and Modpack section! Happy crafting!

Backup upgrade!

Currently customers on the linux system have to request for restorations via our support team. We understand this can be tedious for some customers who want to trial and error and need to keep asking for restorations over and over.
We are happy to announce that backup systems have been upgraded to allow full control to the customer! You can now perform self-service restorations to any given hour!
From our current test's the restorations are blazing fast and stable! We TNT'd up a very large world, and then restored it back to the way it was in just 13 seconds!
