Hey everyone,

Welcome to the first edition of our weekly Towny 6 devlogs! We’re excited to start this series and keep you updated on all the latest developments regarding Towny 6 and other related server news.

Towny 6 Update Progress

As mentioned in our recent announcement, we’ve had to delay the release of Towny 6 due to the recent Minecraft 1.21 update. We're not going to give away all Towny 6 update secrets just yet, but here are some insights in the current state of the update:

1. Minecraft 1.21 Integration:

• We’ve started integrating the new features from Minecraft 1.21 into Towny 6. This includes testing the stability of the new version and ensuring compatibility with our current setup.
• We're closely monitoring the updates from plugin developers to ensure that all essential plugins are updated and functioning correctly with Minecraft 1.21.

2. New Features and Enhancements:

• We’re taking this extra time to add even more exciting features to Towny 6. We're working on enhancing gameplay mechanics, improving performance, and adding new content to make this the best update yet.
• Some highlights include a revamped economy system, a new quests system, and unique in-game events that we can’t wait to share with you!

Community Engagement

To keep everyone in the loop, we’ll be posting these devlogs every Friday. Your feedback is invaluable to us, so feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions on our forums or Discord. We’re committed to making Towny 6 an amazing experience for all our players.

Looking Ahead

In the coming weeks, we’ll be continuing our work on integrating Minecraft 1.21 and testing the stability of our server with the new plugins. We’ll also be adding sneak peaks and update secrets in these devlogs, so be sure to check out the coming posts!

Much Love,

Dear everyone,

We regret to inform you that the release of Towny 6, initially scheduled for July 5th, will need to be delayed. This decision was made to ensure the best possible experience for our players with the upcoming update.

The Towny 6 update is the biggest Towny update we've ever released, designed to bring Towny, and SK in general, to the modern era. To make sure you get the best possible experience, we decided Towny 6 must release on Minecraft 1.21. 

The recent release of 1.21 has brought many exciting new features, and we are committed to integrating these into Towny 6. However, servers on this version aren't stable yet, and many plugin developers have not yet updated their plugins to support the latest version. As a result, we are unable to get Towny ready in time.

Upgrading to 1.21 also gives us more time to enhance the actual update. It allows us to ensure that all aspects of the server are polished and functioning perfectly.

To keep you, the community, more up to date on the state of the server and any news related to a possible release date, we will be posting "Weekly devlogs" every Friday. These posts will give you more insight into the project's progress and what you can expect.

We anticipate that this process will take at least a few more weeks, but we will keep you informed with regular updates on our progress.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We are excited about the enhancements Towny 6 will bring and look forward to sharing it with you soon.

Much Love,

- SK Staff

Hey everyone,

As you may still remember from a few announcements ago, we've been working on new features and systems to modernise the network. The first of these upgrades will launch on ShadowKingdom's birthday on April 1st! Very exciting stuff is coming

In order for us to make all of our planned changes possible, we will need to take down all of our services for a bit. More specifically, the store has been disabled now and the network will be taken down at 31 March 2024 06:00 GMT.

The re-open of the network, along with it's new features, is planned  for 1 April 2024 18:00 GMT. 

We will keep you up to date about the progress of the upgrades and in case the planned re-opening of the network needs to change.

Much Love,
SK staff
