Hi guys,

I have reduced the requirements for playing for free on our SurvivalHardcore server:
- You are an active Patreon subscriber
- You have 2000+ votes (check with /pstats)
- You are Sponsor/SantaClaus on Survival
- You donated more than $100 on SFT (you will need to provide Transaction ID's for each transaction totaling $100)
- You have 750 hours on Survival, as well as a 6 month old forum account (if you deleted your forum account or for some reason it is not as old, you will not get in)

Apply for whitelist here if you meet any of those requirements: https://www.superfuntime.org/forum/index.php/topic,182565.0.html

If you don't meet these requirements, you can either support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia or purchase a subscription from http://sftsurvivalhc.buycraft.net/

NOTE: To connect to the server, join mc.superfuntime.org then type /shc

I feel like SurvivalHardcore is a liked server but there aren't a lot of players on due to well.. lack of players but also the fact that it's not free to play.
I'd like to do something about it / get it to be a bit more popular, but simply making it public wouldn't feel right for the people who paid to get in.
So I am thinking about relaxing the requirements even further.

Currently the requirements are:
- Patreon subscriber
- Over 2000 votes (down from 3000)
- Sponsor / SantaClaus rank
- NEW: Did you donate to any of our servers in the last 30 days, in total more than $10 ? Then you are also eligible.
- NEW: Have you donated $100+ on the Survival server, in total? If you have, then you're also eligible to join.

Do you have any other ideas or do you think we should tweak any of the current requirements ?

I am in need of min 2-3 testers for a top secret project

Requirements:
- Play on a server for an extended period of time knowing everything you do will be wiped in the end
- Provide feedback on key areas

This is a top secret project and I will disclose the details after you volunteer (it's minecraft)

PS: Being a Survival player is a plus
NOTE: Knowledge of mcMMO / SFTMMO is also a plus

Hi guys,

I'd like to announce some minor changes:

- RPGPets owners will now have the option to toggle between their pet being a baby or not via /rpgpets minify/deminify
NOTE: Your pet will have to be fully grown for you to be able to use this command
- The /pet plugin was updated and there are a lot of performance improvement. Permissions have also changed, so please let me know if something doesn't work (I can't really test on account of me being admin and having all perms)
- Discord link plugin has been updated. Let me know if you notice any issues

Stay awesome!

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just to whine
To explain how I became the owner of a server called Super Fun Time

In Bucharest, born and raised
In front of the computer I spent most of my days
Nerding out, wording and being all un-cool
And setting up a Minecraft server outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were really good
Started coding plugins for my server's hood
Our server got griefed and I got scared
"We're starting over", I declared

I worked and worked up to the next day
But my friends helped as well and we were like "okay"
We built a monument, called it "Monument of Bling",
We don't give up so easy griefers, new players we're gonna bring
Our plan seemed to work, we were really happy
This wasn't at all the time for feeling sappy
We got so drunk, we started speaking Bengali
If this isn't true, then my name ain't Towelie

We are currently looking for new JMods for our Survival server.
Got what it takes? Apply for JMod by using this form:

Code Select Expand

Your IGN (in-game nickname):
Your age:
Your region (US/EUROPE/AUSTRALIA):
Your current uptime for this week (check with /pstats):
Were you banned in the last 6 months?:


- You need a minimum of 150 hours of uptime on survival
- If you are selected you will be messaged within 5 days of your application. If you are not selected you will not be contacted
- Anyone posting joke applications / mock applications will receive a forum warning

I would like to recommend the best game I have ever played until now - The game of the decade for sure.
http://www.waitinginline3d.com/

Do you have what it takes?

Let's never forget SFT Rebellion.
I am declaring April 11th the SFT Rebellion remembrance day (almost 6 years after the rebellion)

A bit of a back story: A group of people were really unhappy with the fact that I had increased the /money pay taxes
Instead of dealing with it like the 99% of the server, they proceeded to make a series of videos and "Rebelled" in a completely idiotic but funny way (wasn't really funny for me back then, more like a minor nuissance, but now it's funny).

As you can see in the final video, stupidity DOES NOT pay off...

Hi everyone,
We currently have two candidates for games we should host next:
- Unturned
- PixArk


Facts:
- PixArk is like Ark : Survival Evolved + Minecraft combined into a game
- Out of the two Unturned is the least resource intensive (meaning it will work on a wider variety of computers)
- Unturned is said to have been made very hard to play (the difficulty is high) so that may be an issue
- PixArk seems to require a beefier PC than Unturned
- Unturned is Free to Play, PixArk is $20

Please vote for the game you would play between the two if SFT had a server

Here's some premium shop packages I'd like to recommend for players that are considering supporting Super Fun Time but aren't sure what to get:

Featured category:
http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/939613

- Image maps (get ANY image converted into a big, lavish painting)
- Custom Prefix (get ANY custom prefix, in the color scheme of your current rank (want your prefix to say [Badass] ? We can do that. Just don't make it obscene)
- Glow (doesn't need further explanation... you glow in any color you want)
- MobWorks (launch beautiful fireworks that also have a mob riding on them. Awesome to impress that significant other, or your villager friends)
- Fun Wands (hurl dozens of animals at your desired target)
- Hats (HATS!)


Cosmetic  -> Particle effects:
http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/1047829
- Particle hats  (Ride a raincloud or have an aura made of TNT explosions... the sky is the limit)


Cosmetic -> Pets category:
http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/1047820

- RPGPets (Have a pet that will follow you and help you defeat other monsters or players. All this, while levelling up your pet and boosting their stats like a RPG)


Enjoy this month's recommendations!

[Survival donations:]

Look, I know I'm being obnoxious posting topics every other day about how we need your help with donations. The truth is, I don't enjoy begging either.
But it's kinda needed... So this time, I'll skip the begging and I'll present the facts:


Survival donations:

NOTE: The numbers represent the revenue per week, not per day (I wish..)

SFT Monthly Costs:



Bottom line: Our monthly costs (recalculated today) are $363 / mo. We are making $227 / mo from Patreon (ty <3). that leaves a necesary of $136 / mo to be covered. Sadly, that is not covered more than it is... (not to mention that this is legitimately the smallest amount we need to live. If we had more, it would allow for more advertising, which would bring more players, which would bring more revenue, which would help)


What you can do to help (in the order of importance):
- Support us on Patreon. From as low as $5 / mo you can become a Patron, and get exclusive rewards, while also helping the server. Patreon is SFT's only chance of a continued existence!
https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia

- Donate to our premium shops. There are literally hundreds of packages available, if you just spent ~5 min / week browsing, I guarantee you would find something you liked

- Vote daily on all voting sites. Voting is extremely important! It helps us secure the 2nd (or maybe even 1st) most important resource -> Players. Please vote daily on all voting sites, if not for the rewards, then for helping us / that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

Thank you <3


PS: Patreon is our lifeboat right now. Without Patreon, SFT would be dead already. Thank you to all the patrons, you guys are amazing <3.

[What perks does it have?:]

I'd like to introduce a new Rank on Survival - TopVoter.
It is awarded to the top 3 voters of the month.

What perks does it have?:
The rank gives you access to the following perks, for the duration (while having it):
- Fly perms
- /ml perms (creating listings)
- Colored chat (ability to use colors in chat)
- Vanity Pack (firework is launched when you join and a thunderstrike hits when you leave
- Firework Maker (/fwm)

How to obtain it:
- If you are one of the top 3 votes of the month, contact me on the 1st of the next month, requesting the rank and providing a screenshot / proof (To see who are the top voters, go to https://www.superfuntime.org/votes and then click on "last month" (since we are checking on the 1st, we will have to use the "last month" tab.
- After receiving your message, allow up to ~24h until you receive your rank in-game.
- You will get to keep the rank until the 1st of the next month (1 month)

For example, the current top 3 voters are:
Mazeworker 291
garywb 222
Wello945 210

Message me to request the rank @Mazeworker @garywb @Wello945

I am opening up SHC for a free play weekend. On March 3rd/4th, join SHC, simply by typing /shc from Survival.
You will be able to play for two days, completely free, then you will be able (if you haven't already) to redeem a 5 day free trial (redeem it after the free days)

To our existing subscribers - Your subscription will be extended by 2 days.

SurvivalHardcore is a server which is similar to vanilla (no economy, no warps, no autoshops), but with a very high difficulty. With our awesome MMO-like Parties plugin (which adds MMO-like party features like shared xp, party teleport and so on), it's quite a fun experience to play with your friends.

Recently, I've deployed a really good / working anti-xray solution.
Here's what happens when you try to use an X-Ray Mod / Texture pack:


However, there is a side-effect: Under special circumstances (lag, etc) you may briefly see some blocks that are not there. I have configured the plugin in such a way to minimize this effect (in my initial attempt diamond ore kept appearing, now that is no longer possible).
Please report if you see any blocks that are not actually there (eg: that dissapear/change when you get close to that location)

What I will need:
- Your location (at least world, preferably position /pos)
- What you were doing at the time (mining, exploring, fighting mobs)
- If mining, what are the specs of your tool (Eff is what I care about, so only mention Eff or anything else that alters mining speed)
- Screenshot if possible
- Type of block that you saw, and what it changed into when you went close to it.

You're probably wondering: Bah, why is this needed? This sucessfully blocks over 99% of the existing xray mods / texture packs, as well as other features of mods (dungeon finders, etc) which are extremely detrimental for the server economy / resource abundence.

Check out Patreon (link below) for awesome perks and unique rewards
https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia


NOTE: The Patreon perks are far better than premium shop. I strongly urge you to at least spend 5 minutes checking out the Patreon tiers. By supporting us on Patreon, you are not only donating to us, but ensuring SFT's future.

Thank you!

For an undetermined period of time (few days at the most), I am reducing the requirements to be whitelisted on the server to:

- Patreon subscriber
- Over 2000 votes (down from 3000)
- Sponsor / SantaClaus rank
- NEW: Did you donate to any of our servers in the last 30 days, in total more than $10 ? Then you are also eligible.
- NEW: Have you donated $100+ on the Survival server, in total? If you have, then you're also eligible to join.

Please note, once you get added to the whitelist, you can stay, so if applying with these new reduced requirements, you will get to stay afterwards as well.

To apply, post in this topic, in this form:

- Nickname (your exact Minecraft nickname)
- Criteria you are applying on (Patreon/Votes/Sponsor/Donated in last 30 days over $10 or have donated $100+ in total on the Survival Server)

Please allow up to 24h for your whitelist request to be processed.

NOTE: To connect to the server, join Survival (mc.superfuntime.org) then type /shc (after being whitelisted)

Read and comment here

The EliteMobs plugin was updated.  A lot of bugfixes were applied, but also the following noteworthy changes:

- Fixed Randomly Generated item level.  It's level was 5% of the defeated mob's level, now it has been correctly set to 50%
- Increased the chance of getting custom loot from defeating mobs
- Increased the max level of enchants you can get from EliteMobs loot. (for some enchants it was capped at way too low by me)
- Added the notion of Unique Items (the first Unique items set is the EliteMobs set)
- Disabled EliteMobs in Nether and World3 (for real this time)
- Working on adding an EliteMobs shop (where you can gain currency (EliteMob coins) by selling the undesirable loot to the shop, and buy new loot there). TO BE FURTHER ANNOUNCED

Enjoy!

Read about the EliteMobs shop here https://www.superfuntime.org/forum/index.php/topic,183324.0.html

WARNING: The current update may break some older loot. If your older loot had perks such as absorption (or other potion effects) they will no longer work. There is nothing I can do about this and there will be no refunds

We apologize for the inconvenience, but due to factors outside our control, the B-Team server doesn't seem to be able to resolve skins. This results in all players and all heads having the Steve Skin.
We have checked and this doesn't only affect our server, it also affects other B-Team servers.
This means that it's mostly something to do with Mojang and their Legacy Servers.
I will update this post when I have more relevant information.

I've increased the emp you get from voting!

Previous configuration (per vote empbucks):
Tier 1: 2000
Tier 2: 3000
Tier 3: 4000
Tier 4: 5000
Tier 5: 7000


New configuration:
Tier 1: 2500
Tier 2: 3500
Tier 3: 4500
Tier 4: 6000
Tier 5: 8500


The idea is to promote voting, but as you can tell, the biggest increase is for the 4th and 5th tier. That is to encourage tiered voting (eg: people that vote every day)

NOTE: How to get to higher tiers: Everyone starts at Tier 0. If you vote on all voting sites for a day, the second day you will be Tier 1. Repeat the next day Tier 2. Repeat then next day Tier 3... and so on.
Now there is a catch. The server time is in UTC and at 0:00 UTC the window of gaining a tier is lost. Meaning you have to time your voting just right so as to go up in tiers correctly.

We are recruiting Police/EMS and Players for our FiveM server (GTA5)
IP: 192.99.34.102:30120

Please like our FiveM post
Read more and discuss here

Server IP: 192.99.34.102:30120

Our FiveM (GTA5) server is about ready for release. As last minute preparations, we are looking for Police/EMS personnel (which is needed for a succesful RP server)

The server is a RP (roleplay) server. If you are interested in a Police/EMS position, please contact our Lead Developer and Admin @Candi as she will handle all the interviews.

How to connect:
- You need to have GTA5 on Steam installed
- Install FiveM (https://fivem.net/)
- Make sure your Steam client is running
- Launch FiveM
- In the "Servers" tab, search for "SFTRP"

Note:
- Please read the rules after joining the server. You will be punished for RDM / FailRP

Some very strict rules we will imply:
- Admins will need to play. That means, I don't want to see admins spawning tanks/jets/helicopters etc and going around. I will instantly demote anyone caught doing that.
- Spawning vehicles is acceptable, but only for testing purposes or if you are left without a vehicle in the middle of nowhere, and even then, avoid spawning supercars.
- Admins will respond to Police if they are pulled over, etc.
- Abuse of admin powers will be punished. It's ok to mess around a bit when/while the server is empty, but if I hear reports about admin abuse while there are players online, you will be punished.

A brief description of our server:
- Our server is a roleplay (RP) server. As a civilian, you will be able to undertake a series of jobs (Delivery Driver, Mechanic, Fisherman, etc). You will need to purchase a car in order to be able to move around, as carjacking locals (NPCs) is going to get you in trouble with the Police, and does not always succeed. Luckily, you can get a cheap car at the starter garage (your starting money should be enough for that)
- You can further customize your character at clothes shops (be aware, FiveM is glitchy in that respect), and your car at Respray Shops
- You can read a very detailed guide, made by our Lead Dev and Admin @Candi -> https://goo.gl/vaojBg

Do you have Steam? Join our steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/sftminecraft
We have recently updated our steam group description and promoted active moderators.
We will use these forums for hosting events on Steam, as well as keeping you informed of new servers being opened and other important things!

NOTE: Do you think you can help us grow our group and moderate it? Let me know!

I would like to talk about the Zero Tolerance Policy we have introduced a while back.
It was introduced due to a need. SFT was turning into something toxic, due to some people that didn't have any limits of decency or common sense.
I believe it has accomplished its purpose, but at the same time removed the "fun" in Super Fun Time (with people being persecuted for making jokes or speaking their mind)

I would like to announce the removal of the Zero Tolerance Policy and its exchange with Some Tolerance Policy.

What this means:
- Staff will be instructed to be "less uptight" and no logner punish / frown upon jokes and light headed humor
- If people that are/were toxic for SFT and will try to abuse this relaxation of rules to create/continue their propaganta against SFT, will still be punished and removed from the community (I am hoping this won't be the case)
- We will begin tolerating a bit more from people and not instantly punish people who say a joke that may have not been so inspired (instead we will explain why that joke is not the best for SFT and why they shouldn't make jokes like that if it is that harsh)
- You should see some "fun" back in Super Fun Time. Meaning, it will be ok to joke around with your friends as long as it is not too exaggerated (we won't punish people for saying ily or for saying "fuck you" or similar insults as a joke to friends)

I trust that you have patience as it will take a bit until all staff members are re-trained and the mentality shifts, and I ask that if you notice an example of a "trigger happy" staff member, you contact the HoS of each server (Cr1_98 / MrChanango / blakus for Survival, Tera for Pix, Mord for bTeam)

I will gladly respond to any questions you have if they are asked in a polite and nice manner.

The SurvivalHardcore server has been launched!

This is a pay to play server, you may get a free 5 day trial or buy a subscription here -> http://sftsurvivalhc.buycraft.net/category/1042317

If you are a Patreon subscriber or have over 3000 votes, reply here and you will be added to the whitelist for free.

To play, log in to Survival and type /server shc (or /shc which will become available as of tomorrow)


What is SurvivalHardcore?
- It's a Hardcore Survival server
- There is no health regeneration (so regen potions / god apples won't work)
- Players are automatically healed every 3h
- If you die, you will be banned for 30 minutes.
- The server is set on max. difficulty
- There is a comprehensive MMO-like party plugin, with shared XP and other awesome features!
- Custom plugins provide an integration between the Party plugin (in the form of party names in chat and a scoreboard add-on coming soon)
- There are no warps, no economy, no shops and no fancy plugins (Slimefun, SFTMMO, etc)
- This is NOT a Survival replacement, but a server that is as close to vanilla as possible.

Did you ever say "I wish Survival had more fun but pointless gadgets so it would enhance my Star Wars cosplay?" Oh, you didn't? Never mind well... here's hoverbikes... yay!

/hoverbikeshop - Prices are between 500k and 1mil, I decided to add them for everyone rather than premium shop, even though we are not doing that well on money (Shameless plug for Patreon, become a Patron for awesome and unique rewards and perks https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia )

I would like to remind everyone to support us on Patreon, as we need your help! https://www.patreon.com/sftmedia

"But Towelie, stop begging for money".
Yeah, about that. This month, I sent SFT $150 and I paid for the Main machine (where Surv + Pix are) for 1 month ($160), and also extended the webserver ($80) for another month and paid $50 for ads.
That's $290 from my personal wage this month. This has got to stop. Because I am fed up with struggling with money due to sending money to SFT. Because I didn't work on Christmas (25,26 dec) and New Year (1st, 2nd of january) to make more money to pay for SFT.
So I legit don't give even the least fuck for the people who are like "stop begging for money". Well, when you will pay for SFT from your own pocket, you will be entitled to say that, otherwise, please don't.

The SurvivalHardcore beta is now over. We are doing finishing touches such as adding a spawn, updating some plugins and fixing some bugs.
Then it will be launched, added to BungeeCord and it will be accesible if:

- You are a Patreon supporter https://patreon.com/sftmedia
- You have at least 2000 votes
- You purchase one of the SurvivalHardcore subscriptions or lifetime packages (coming soon)

Until then, I NEED YOU, the beta contributors to give me feedback. So people who participated such as @SpeashuLK @misspiggy95 @Moppeh_ and others, please give me feedback.

Happy New Year everyone! Have a great new year and I hope this will be a good year for everyone here.
I am posting this now as I will be gone partying for NYE.
I just want you all to know that I appreciate all of you and I think of SFT as a second family (my online family)

Thank you and enjoy the NYE party!

Thank you for applying for Legend! Please allow up to ~72h to receive an answer. If you don't receive an answer within 72h, please post a topic in Survival Discussions mentioning that.

I would just like to point out that the Holiday Spirit is about accepting others and being good, not being an elitist snob.

I won't name any names but a player (a new player) has sent me a message saying this:

[6:54 PM] Name hidden: Hey, just wanted to ask if there's a chance the server is too big for extra people to join in. Every single "old" player has been very elitist on who they allow to participate and it's driving me away from even looking at what people say. Anytime I say "Hello," I don't even hear the crickets chirp. And when I mention how I think people need to be more welcoming everyone turns defensive and keeps repeating "no no no no" without arguments, or repeating the same argument without explaining it. I really don't feel welcome in the server and have experienced this many times on other places. I know those are bound to fall appart as these older members leave and newers are driven away. I didn't want to start arguing directly with everyone because that's simply not helpful, so I decided to take it to you privately as to not start too much commotion.

In short, I really feel like the community is very much closed and I don't want to make a big deal about it, but it does not make me want to be a part of it.

Got any opinions by chance?

Now, I have one simple message. Everyone treating new players like that - you are not welcome on SFT. I have zero need for players who turn other players away. Either apologize, or find another gaming community to play on because this will not be tolerated.

Can we please be accepting and welcome towards the new players? A breath of new players is what SFT needs to survive and some of you guys are turning new players away... Pretty sad and despicable.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all going to enjoy the holidays.

Thanks to @BluetigerESW, @RallyReaper and @blalp we have a Terraria server coming soon!

Hi! Please help us by voting for PE (click on the banner above). This means a lot for SFT and for us. All it takes is ~2 minutes of your time, and if enough people do this daily our PE server may grow and help SFT with the bills / playerbase.

My deepest personal gratitude goes to all of you who will vote for PE!

As some of you may know, I am working on a new server. This server will be a hardcore version of Survival, as close to vanilla as possible. You won't find any economy plugin here, or warps or fancy particle effects.
There is a catch: Only Patreons and those who purchase a subscription will be able to play. The exact price of the subscription has not been determined, but it will be a fair price.
We are also considering allowing players with a certain amount of votes to play for free, as well.

Currently, I am holding a Closed Beta. There is no spawn, and there are no rules. Even griefing is allowed (there are self-claim protections, so if someone didn't protect their build, that's on them.

There's a catch: Once the server is released, we will have a plugin which bans players on death for a while (to be determined how long, probably  30min)

To apply for the whitelist, share your full minecraft name. Everyone with the rank of at least Member on Survival (or equivalent on other servers) is allowed to play.

NOTE: This world, inventories, etc will be RESET at the end of the beta period.
Once you are accepted, I highly encourage you to suggest new features to be added to the server (But do note my aim is to keep this as vanilla as possible and not to turn it into Survival 2.0)


NOTE: On this server there will be no staff. If someone is in need of punishment  they will be permanently de-whitelisted.

It's time to talk 1.13 and what this will mean for Survival.
At the very least this will mean at least ~30% of our current plugins becoming broken, this will include some of the older premium shop perks. Please note that we will not offer any refunds, but after maximum ~2 months after updating, if we are not able to bring that perk back, we will offer you premium shop credit so you can get something new.
It's not really clear what plugins will break and it's not really possible to predict which plugins will break.

Dubbed the technical update, Minecraft 1.13 will be the next major version of Minecraft to be released. This release will include a lot of long awaited changes and refactorings to both the client and server, and as a result is expected to be the largest CraftBukkit/Spigot release since 1.8, and the largest Bukkit (API) release ever. We have already spent around 50 hours on snapshots and are starting to get a pretty good (although purely speculative) idea of what the impact will be to plugin developers and server owners.
Because one of the primary goals of the Bukkit API is to provide a stable interface for plugins across a variety of platforms and versions, changes have to be made with the right balance between stability, featureset, and maintenance. With this in mind we have decided to target the following changes:

    Block type IDs will be completely removed
        This is a change which started to be implemented over four years ago, unfortunately there are still plugins out there using block IDs when they shouldn't be, including some fairly popular ones. Virtually every occurance of block IDs currently has an Material replacement available for usage right now. If your plugin, or a plugin you use exposes IDs in any form we strongly recommend you work to get it upgraded right away as this may be a somewhat involved process (albeit one that should have been done years ago).
    Block data values will be deprecated
        All instances of byte data values, and MaterialData usage will be deprecated. Although the byte data values have also been deprecated for a very long time, many of them do not currently have suitable replacements. As such we will be providing support for them on a best effort basis. This means that plugins using these APIs will (hopefully) run to some degree, but you should not expect complete or consistent support. We strongly recommend waiting for updated versions for the best performance and data...

This may mean that a ton of plugins will break, possibly even some essential ones like autoshop plugins and so on.
There is also the slight possibility that a full reset will be needed, but there is no conclusive information towards that yet.

I would just like to re-iterate that if the need arises, I will do what I believe best for Survival, and I will not listen to players, even if the vast majority decides a way or the other. For example if you guys vote for us to stick to 1.12 forever (in case we need a full reset), I will not accept that, because that would mean condemning SFT to a fast death. Obviously, I will do my best to listen to you for reasonable things, but ultimately, I am the custodian of this server and some times I have to take the tough decisions.

I don't know which plugins will break, I did inform @darknuju and @ColesyM to update their plugins and I will be talking to @fearthe1337 as well for that.

TL;DR version-> 1.13 is coming and will probably break half of our plugins. Be ready for stuff to not be the same, and for a lot of stuff to break (premium shop perks, autoshop plugin, etc). While we will indeed find a fix or replacement for this plugins it may be a while (I'm talking months from when 1.13 is out) in which we will have to stick with a minimalistic server.
Also, there is a low possibility that we will have to do a full reset with 1.13, in which case I will do it regardless of the desires of the community (because the only alternative would be remaining on 1.12 and that would condemn the server to death)

Beware of a SFTMMO bug which in certain conditions will cause mobs to one-hit-kill you.
Thanks to @Consum  we were able to narrow it down to the +Knight and +Mobname powerups, but there are potentially more that are affected.
Until @ColesyM takes a look (I made him aware of the bug), I would recommend AGAINST using powerups in hard mode, and watch out as there may be other powerups that have this bug as well.

Fortnite is free and it's awesome!
We have discord voice channels for it, as well as a text channel where you can find teammates from SFT.

I just wanted to point out that as of now, no Social Justice Warriors will be tolerated on SFT.

"Social justice warrior" (commonly abbreviated SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual promoting socially progressive views,[1] including feminism,[1][2] civil rights,[1] multiculturalism,[1] and identity politics.[3] The accusation of being an SJW carries implications of pursuing personal validation rather than any deep-seated conviction,[4] and being engaged in disingenuous social justice arguments or activism to raise personal reputation, also known as virtue signalling.[5]

For the sake of calm and peace and quiet, don't impose your views on everyone and accept that there can be different views on a subject. Anyone caught pushing SJW agenda will be punished first of all by a warning and getting up to a ban.
We are here to have fun and play on a gaming server.

On that matter, anyone caught spewing racist remarks or discriminatorial remarks will also be punished, far more harshly.

Thank you.
