Changelog 90: Several Updates

Updates and New Features:

• Anti-Lag Measures: I have adjusted some mob limits/thresholds to suit our new network bandwidth.
• Al240 Summer Event: 1st place winners will need to check the #announcements tab on Discord for info regarding your prize.
• STOREWIDE SUMMER SALE: Up to 25% off in the donation store! Click here to see the deals. Deals end July 13th.
• 26.2 Update: We will be updating VCMC to Minecraft version 26.2 in the coming weeks! An announcement will be made when the time comes.
  • As of writing, we are expecting the update to proceed as usual (no data losses or major changes).
• Spawn Shop Policy Enforcement: Starting the week beginning on July 5th, I will increase enforcement on restocking policies.
  
  • Remember to maintain your shop regularly. You must restock it at least once every 3-4 days.
• Ticket System: We have updated our Discord ticket system to increase accessibility and clarity.
  • Opening a ticket now requires you to fill out a basic information form. This helps our staff better identify your issues or concerns.
  • Do NOT request a spawn shop in a support ticket! Please use /mail send (either Al240 or LiterallyFire) to make any requests. DMing us on Discord may not guarantee a response (I don't check message requests often).
  • Remember that the appeal waiting time is now 30 days if you have at least 3 rejected appeals for your current punishment.

Removed:

• The player weather (/pweather) feature for Netherite-ranked players is still being debugged. Therefore, it will remain unavailable until further notice.
• Chunks unmodified since February 1, 2026, were purged after the previous End reset (6/30).
  • We will continue removing chunks older than (unmodified for) 6 months/180 days to save disk space.

Changelog 89: A New VCMC

Updates and New Features:

• NEW INTERNET: We are FINALLY able to announce that VCMC now runs on an actual Fiber network. Thank you for putting up with our terrible internet for over 3 and a half years. As a result of this move, a few things will be changing:
  • All AFK restrictions announced earlier in June have been lifted. Only the regular macro and Anti-AFK rules apply.
  • Mob/Spawner/Entity thresholds will be re-evaluated over the next month to take advantage of the extra bandwidth. Keep in mind that we still have to balance farming efficiency with both network AND hardware constraints.
  • Auto-kicks for AFK now occur at a higher threshold (50 players, previously 30).
• Al240 Summer Event: This year's event will be held on Saturday, June 20! Time is still TBD, but expect it to be sometime between 8-11:30pm UTC.
  • An extra modpack may be required to join the event. Check Discord #announcements for more information in the coming days.
• STOREWIDE SUMMER SALE: Up to 25% off in the donation store! Click here to see the deals. Deals end July 13th.
  • new rank perks may or may not be coming soon...
• 26.x Update: We decided that it would be best for the server to remain on 1.21.11 until 26.2 (and stable plugins for that version) is released.
• Ongoing Spawn Expansion: Thanks to our builders Bailey, RedStellar, and Saero, you guys have access to MORE shops along the new expanded docks!
  • More shops, as well as other changes, are coming to spawn this summer!
  • A small reminder to read the shop rules carefully before renting a shop. You may be fined or lose access to your shop (temp. or permanently) for policy violations!
• Ticket System: Small changes will be made to increase accessibility and clarity in our Discord tickets.
  • Do NOT request for a shop in a support ticket! Please use /mail send (either Al240 or LiterallyFire) to make any requests. DMing us on Discord may not guarantee a response (I don't check message requests often).
  • Remember that the appeal waiting time is now 30 days if you have at least 3 rejected appeals for the current punishment.
• Due to a small bug, the RTP 2nd chance item has been updated in the Starter Kit and Black Market.
• Another small reminder: Issues regarding the spear/mace or attribute swapping may not be addressed due to the way the server core and its plugins are set up.

Removed:

• Voicechat disabling mechanism removed.
• Chunks unmodified since January 1, 2026, were purged after the previous End reset (6/1).
  • We will continue removing chunks older than (unmodified for) 6 months/180 days to save disk space.
