The Grotto - Minecraft Server
Jul

So after a lot of work, the server is open again and reopened running the most recent 1.17! There's still more work to be done, such as a new nether, protection updates, and updating the world come 1.18 for the new build height/new terrain features that are not there due to being an older world. But for now it runs. The selector for regions still isn't fixed. Any other issues you find please let me know.

I am in the process of updating the server to 1.16.4. This is a time consuming process and may be a few months, give or take to complete it. In this time, the server will be down and inaccessible. The world will be updated in this process too. Don't worry, all builds and what not will be preserved. The protection process for land will also be reassessed from the current plugin, MCTowns. More updates on the way, I hope.

Update v1.1.1
Long time no see everyone, it's time for another update! This one doesn't have as many goodies as the mechanics update, you will still see many improvements.
Claiming Plugin Rewritten
The claiming plugin (NewWand) released last time was fairly buggy in usage. You might have gotten ghosted blocks or would bug out on you. I have rewritten the plugin to be more efficient and less of a mess. Ghosting of blocks now only appear if you are really trying to get them (and at that they only appear rarely). It also converts between modes (advance, min. basic) visual and runs smoother. Try it out new time you're on!
Quick Select wand and Active sets changes
There is a new tool available using /QS. With this tool you can set your MCTowns active sets to the point where you click.
Active sets are now set when you join the server so you will no longer be forced to set your active town.

After many months of hard work and planning the mechanics update is finally here! This is a big update to the server adding a ton of new features and bug fixes. We will start tracking updates to the server with a version numbering system similar to what Mojang uses with Minecraft. The mechanics update will start out the new system at v1.0.0.
New Claiming
The biggest addition is a new tool for claiming land! The format is much simpler now and powerful, it even shows what is selected as seen in the picture (blocks aren't real, just guides for your selection).
There are 3 different modes you...

Hey guys! Just an update; some of you had noticed a rollback that had occurred in the past few days.
The server had been hacked and we managed to fix it but we were victim again earlier today (the perp has been banned so we should be good from here on out) and everything has been whitelisted for maintenance. It's nothing to worry about and the Grotto will be back up again super soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.
