Network Maintenance - Saturday 12th June 2021 14:00 - 15:00 BST

Hi Everyone,

As part of the work to start getting ready for what is going to be one of the most complex upgrades to Minecraft in some time (1.17), we're going to be taking Bungee-02 (The main Bungee) offline for up to 1 hour tomorrow to install an update to Bungeecord, Server OS Patching as well as Bungee plugin updates to Plan and NetworkManager.

Our hope is that this should enable us to perform the in-server 1.17 upgrades without any issues / complexity (Or at least without taking the entire network down) and will allow us to start updating the servers one at a time to support 1.17 where we need to.

We are still having conversations internally as to if we want to use tools such as ViaVersions to support 1.17 temporarily, I suspect this may be something we look to do in the coming days depending on how complex and time consuming the upgrade is going to be.

I will update this thread when maintenance is complete.

Thanks all.

↩  erin The server won't be 1.17 tomorrow, this just updates the Bungee to allow us to support 1.17 when we're ready to do so.

Maintenance underway

The main maintenance is now completed. The Bungee, Hub-02 and Freedom-02 are all now up and running.
Hub-03 will be running shortly along with the events server and development server.
Freedom-01 will be restored when the extended maintenance is complete.
