Well that’s it folks, our longest map is coming to an end. After a staggering 10 months, Map 7 will be officially closing.

Last map we focused on everything you could see, this time around we have focused on all the behind the scenes things whilst bringing more and more new things to the server.

I say this every map, but that’s because I mean it every time; this new map is going to be the best map we have ever produced.

When is the reset happening?
Map 7 Closing: March 15th, 9am MST

Map 8 Opening: March 15th, 10am MST

Some new additions

• Brand new Spawn Easter Egg Puzzle with crazy rewards. You have to look up and observe the possibilities. You really have to think outside the box for this one.
• Bedrock cross-play! You can join from anything that supports minecraft! That even includes your smart fridge if you have one! Please note they are completely separate accounts so nothing is linked.
• Player Referral Program. More on that below!
• Vote Party drop parties that scale with the amount of players! These also include a 2x mcMMo XP boost for a limited time.
• Player graves on death to keep all your goodies safe.
• Blaze and Caves advancements. First person to complete all advancements gets 6 months Wither

General Changes (there’s a lot)

• The AFK kick no longer exists! This means you can afk till your heart's content. AFK machines are still banned however (anything that takes you out of AFK mode is a no no)

• Option to “bulk buy” supporter ranks for discounted prices
• Custom recipes reverted back to vanilla

• Balanced mcMMo to fit inline with the new server economy.
• The SellWand and EpicSpawners plugins have been replaced with other plugins due to compatibility issues. You shouldn’t see any difference but it’s a part of the change log.
• New server infrastructure & machine due to outgrowing previous setup. This change allows us to spin up test servers when we choose, meaning modded servers could be coming in the future.
• New chest shop plugin. Do /quickshop for more information

Player Referral Program

The player referral program is designed to reward the players that get the OGCraft name out there.

 Whether that’s from advertising on reddit (places like r/MinecraftBuddies or r/MCServers), YouTube, TikTok or Twitch, as long as a player does /ref <your username> within the first 2 hours of joining the server and they are Coal rank, you both get rewards!

Rewards;

Every Referral - Both you and the person who uses your referral get 1 Spawner Crate Key and $500 each

First Referral - $1,000, 1 Tools and Gear key

5 Referrals - $10,000, 5 Tools and Gear keys

10 Referrals - $25,000,  10 Tools and Gear keys, 2 Months of Allay

What version will the Map be on?

We will be opening on version 1.21.4

How can I bring items to the new map?

This time round we are not allowing any items to be transferred! The only items we are allowing to be carried over are event or historic items (this includes but not limited to; birthday celebration items, previous easter egg reward items, dragon eggs). 

Put the event items in your inventory, pop your username in our #general chat and we’ll nab them. If you know someone who hasn’t got discord, you can also mention their name and we’ll nab their event items.

Store Refunds

All store purchases after 1st March 2025 will be given on the new map.

Can you believe it? Map 6 is already up and here we are heading into Map 7. This will be the first official map where OGCraft and Pioneer players start together at the same time and progress together under one roof!

Speaking of roofs, we’ve raised it this time round! I think this new spawn is the biggest spawn we’ve ever made for the server, only rivaled by the Zelda Castle we had all the way back in Map 2. Huge thanks to Nix and our newest Architect Silver_Seven for helping create in my opinion one of the best spawns we’ve ever had, along with Elliott and a few other people helping out!

When is the reset happening?
Map 6 Closing: 3rd May 2024 10am MST

Map 7 Opening: 4th May 2024 10am MST

Some new additions

• Brand new Spawn Easter Egg with a custom built minigame within so it’s still playable after the EE is finished! Better get whacking!
• New Quest NPCs within spawn ranging from the Prison Guard to the Horse Trainer. Have a dig into the lore of spawn and what other treasures it may be hiding.
• We’re adding something else Pioneer had, the interactive chat! This will allow you to show off all your cool and special items!
• EpicSellWands are back! You can buy these via /shop or get them via the crates!
• Ever wanted to just sit on a slab? A stair? Or are you a floor person or even a person person? You can now sit down anywhere, any time (however not sure how some people would feel about you sitting on their head)
• A new online map! This can be accessed by doing /map in game or by heading to map.ogcraft.org
• A new voting reward structure! More on that below!

Small General Changes

• Behind the scenes staffing plugin changes. 
• /fly has been moved from Diamond to the Emerald rank to fit more inline with Emerald being on par with the Carpenter Rank.
• Player referral rewards added! If you get your friend to join on the server and they do /ref your_username you both receive rewards! You also get bigger and better rewards the more people that do /ref your_username
• The legacy permanent supporter ranks have had their kits changed to monthly kits rather than the large one time use kit. This means anyone with a legacy permanent support rank can receive a kit every 30 days.

Voting reward structure

• A new daily vote crate! This crate key can be obtained by voting on all the voting sites every day! 
• A new weekly vote crate! This crate key can be obtained by voting on all the voting sites every day for an entire week! You also get to pick what reward you get!
  
• We have also added rewards for milestone voting amounts, so you will receive something when you hit 100 total votes (10 days worth of voting). All these rewards have been posted in the discord in server-voting along with being listed on our website.
• A new voting boss bar appears whenever someone votes! It shows the most recent voter along with how many votes are left until the vote party! This was added around 2 weeks ago however we thought we’d include it here as not many people have seen it (massive thanks to superminiminer for the idea and ShadowVoids for making it possible)
• Voting now gives even more claimblocks than before.

Things that are being reset:

What version will the Map be on?

We’re aiming to open on 1.20.5 but that all depends on plugins, otherwise it'll be 1.20.4. We are also starting the world with a smaller world border so once we update to 1.21 we can expand the border and allow room for the new Trial Chambers to spawn in!

How can I bring items to the new map?

This time round we’re allowing the transfer of any and all items apart from spawners! Do /kit reset to receive your reset kit. Within your reset kit you’ll get a shulker box and a bundle.

How to pack your reset kit;

Step 1 - Fill your bundle with any items you want (excluding Spawners. Spawners can be crafted back into keys, as seen in /warp Recipes)

Step 2 - Put the bundle in the shulker box

Step 3 - Check to see if you have any items that were won from an event. These will have a special name or lore describing which event they are from. These are Trophy Items.

Step 4 - Check to see if you have any items that have the "One of a Kind" lore. These items along with Dragon Eggs and items found from Spawn Easter Eggs are Historical Items.

Step 5 - If you have any Trophy Items and/or Historical Items, put them in your shulker box too

Step 6 - When you’ve packed everything you want, hand it to a staff member however once we have been given the shulker box you cannot get it back.

The final day for turning in shulker boxes is 2nd May! If you can’t physically hand them into a staff member, put the shulker box in your inventory then send a message into our discord with your exact username and we’ll grab it that way.

Once we open on the new map, your shulker boxes will be given out by the moderators. Please note, any spawners found in bundles will be removed without warning.

Is it that time already? Yes it is! OGCraft is resetting it’s map!

Like every reset, we have a brand new map! We wanted to go outside the box a little bit and do something we’ve never done before…

When is the reset happening?
Map 5 Closing: 28th September 2023 16:00 UTC

Map 6 Opening: 30th September 2023 16:00 UTC

Some new additions

• Spawn Easter Egg is back! No hints, no clues, just some good old problem solving and possibly even some dancing.
• Weekly game nights, more on that below!
• Multiple datapacks which include new structures including 3 new village types, a new deep dark dimension and my personal favourite, hostile mobs will become harder to kill the longer you play on the server.
• Quests are back! We have done a massive overhaul of the previous quests along with a special rank if you manage to complete all 700+ quests. 
• A new Server Sponsor section on the store where people can sponsor the server and help us improve more features along with making more people aware of the server!

Small General Changes

• Donator ranks have now been turned into monthly versions of said ranks and players with the ranks will receive a monthly kit to reflect this. These new monthly ranks can be spotted by looking in the rank name and seeing curly brackets, {}, in them. That being said, anyone who donated prior to this change will still keep their permanent rank, shown via square brackets, [], in the rank name as well as still receiving the previous kit.
  Monthly ranks also work on an accumulative process, meaning if you purchase 30 days of time, then the day after you purchase another 30 days, you get 60 days total. If you wanted to, you could purchase a year's worth of 30 days and have that many days on your account. 
• Spawn is no longer in its own world. You can explore the normal world straight off the bat.
• A massive, and I mean massive, overhaul of /shop. Every single item has had a change in some sort of way, shape or form.

Things that are being reset:

• Inventories
• Enderchests
• Claimblocks
• Money balance
• Kits
• Playervaults
• And of course, all the worlds

Things that will NOT be reset:

• Ranks
• Play time

Weekly Games Nights

Map 6 is bringing a new twist to the server with Weekly Game Nights.

There will be 4 events throughout the month where players compete in multiple games to earn points and prizes!

Points you say? With the points that you earn, you get entered into the Battle of Gamers where the top three players of the month each receive prizes on top of the previous prizes!

We will also be doing a random draw from the rest of the players who scored where each point gives you an entry into the lucky draw!

The dates of the events will be announced on the last day of the month prior! 

How can I bring items to the new map?

Much like last time we are limiting the transfer of items to only trophy items (such as ones won from events) or historical items like Dragon Eggs.

Fill a shulker box with all your trophy and historical items and give it to a staff member, but once we have been given the shulker box you cannot get it back. Don’t forget to rename it with your minecraft username (not nickname!)

If you don’t have a shulker box, please do /kit Shulker to receive a free one!

The final day for turning in shulker boxes is 27th September!

Once we open on the new map, your shulker boxes will be given out by the moderators.
