ORE Network / 1.13 coming March 10th!

[Nickster258]

Hello everyone!

The Staff team on ORE is excited to announce that ORE Network / 1.13 is finally ready to be released on March 10th! The Staff team has worked incredibly hard the recent months to rebuild our systems for easy expansion in the future and an overall better playing experience for all.

What will be different?

• The maps. There will be a map reset for all servers in order to "clear the clutter" and because people seemed to really want it.
  
• One IP. Everyone will be able to connect with mc.openredstone.org to get to any server.
  
• We will be introducing the archives server so people can easily browse the old maps.
  
• There will be no overlapping period with the old maps and the new network maps, so if you want to copy things over without downloading the archive, we recommend you do so soon by using our schematics system.
  

Something that Staff thought of that would be fun also: "anarchy". We put Anarchy in quotes because it is not quite full anarchy, but the idea is that the day before the release of 1.13, water flow, lava flow, fire spread, and TNT will be re-enabled so users can just enjoy the last day of the current map before we get to restart on a new, fresh map. There will be some restrictions to make sure the "anarchy" goes smoothly and doesn't crash the server too often, but regardless, we think it may be fun. Please vote on what you think of this idea.

Oh, and media drop:

Note:
Copying an entire plot to the new world will not be allowed for several reasons. Instead, you should make schematics for every build you consider significant enough to bring to the new world or just to have as a keepsafe. That way, you can keep your new plots and builds more organized and also minimize the impact that pasting an entire plot has on server performance.

Please make 100% sure you backup the map before u start anarchy XD

Please make 100% sure you backup the map before u start anarchy XD

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The obvious thing to do here is delete all previous backups and disable coreprotect before anarchy such that the destruction is literally unfixable

[JeremyG]

Clearly we should just ban everyone at a random point in time so that nobody gets a chance to backup their world if they didn't do it already

(in more serious terms, just backup your stuff now so you don't have to worry about it later)

Jokes on you, I never actually finished any projects so I have nothing to back up.
