A new era for Mineteria

Introduction
It's been quite a while since we've done a proper forum post. Most of our community announcements & activity happen on our Discord. We've had a pretty wild last few months filled with lots of fun and huge lessons learned about how to make the best content for all of you moving forward. This update is the start of that.

What's the new content, and when!?
To kick off a new era of frequent high-quality updates, we're going to be releasing some of the most highly anticipated and requested updates of the last few months. The update will launch this Saturday, June 22nd at 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 8PM GMT+1 (United Kingdom)

Murder Mystery Public Release
Murder Mystery was first released in BETA in early April after an extremely quick initial development in order to start fixing bugs and collecting feedback as soon as possible. Over the course of the last two months, not only have we been polishing the game for this full release, but we've also been organizing a competition surrounding Murder Mystery that you'll be able to participate in with your favorite YouTubers starting on Saturday. Players will be able to join their favorite YouTubers team by doing (e.g /tournament join famous, /tournament join jonjon, etc).

Your Murder Mystery playtime and statistic will be tracked for two weeks. At the end the two week period, we'll add up the statistics for the top 30 players in every YouTubers team. Whoever has the highest total level at that point will win the competition. Not only will you have bragging rights against rival YouTubers, but you'll also get a number of super awesome benefits for being apart of the winning team.

Housing Worldedit
Another highly requested feature for the last several months has been integrated support for the popular plugin "WorldEdit" on housing. WorldEdit allows you to complete what would usually be a very boring and time consuming task like filling in a large wall or floor and make it as simple as one command. For those of you new to WorldEdit, we highly recommend watching this video.

For obvious reasons, WorldEdit has cooldowns/block limits to prevent the server from lagging/crashing. The limits are as follows:

Default / No Rank:
- 60 second cooldown / 500 block limit

VIP:
- 30 second cooldown / 2,000 block limit

VIP+:
- 20 second cooldown / 3,000 block limit

Elite:
- 15 second cooldown / 5,000 block limit

Housing Blank Theme Tier 8/9/10
The final major update coming this Saturday is the addition of housing blank theme tiers 8/9/10. We had received many complaints that the current largest tier housing wasn't big enough for a lot of you to build large roleplay maps or whatever else you planned to do. Housing tiers 8, 9, and 10 are much bigger than the Tier 7 housing(s) and will provide more than enough space for anything you can imagine.


Conclusion
Although we expect there to be some issues associated with the updates and increased traffic we're expecting for the big launch on Saturday, we expect the network to be more than playable. As always, feel free to give feedback in the discord and interact with our amazing community. We have a lot planned for this Summer and this is only the beginning.

Thanks,
Zach
