The 1.21.4 Countdown Begins (5 Days)

Monday, Feb 10th LostWarrior95 Comments 0

Hello GenuineMC Family,

1.21.4 is right around the corner! We are so excited to bring this update to GenuineMC! We have so many new things in store for 2025 in addition to this update, so please make sure to read the entirety of this post!

Thank You

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding of my limitations while I am in my master’s program. I am so grateful for the amazing team we have on this server because they have really stepped up their game to help keep this community active! It saddens me to see an empty server, but I am thrilled to know that our community is excited for a new world. I am going to attempt to be more active during this third semester. All that I ask is that you help keep the GenuineMC torch going until I can return in full force. I have some exciting plans for this server, so make sure to check out the pending schedule for this year!

World Reset

1.21.4 Launches February 14th @ 2pm EST

Goodbye 1.21.1. You have been a wonderful world for us to explore since 1.18, but it is time for us to move on! Please read through the upcoming changes to our community!
Transfer Information: https://www.genmc.net/wiki/1214-transfer/

1.21.4 Launches February 14th @ 2pm EST

  • We have a brand-new spawn! Thank you Farfrombread, Nibby49, Emified, Irish_Knight, Peaceric, Artailian, and BritishConnah for your endless dedication to our community. This spawn brings back memories of 1.12 and I love it!
  • Customcommands has died. Thankfully most of the player-ran commands still work. We are currently working on finding a replacement.
  • No more Elytra Armor. In light of us trying to become less Creative-Lite, we decided it would be best to return back to the vanilla aspect of chest wear.
  • We have a brand-new Shopping District! As mentioned in an update last year, shops will no longer receive individual warps. If you want players to discover your shop, it has to be built in either a Town or in the Shopping District. (Please keep reading for explicit details about this change.)
  • The opening world will be 20k x 20k. We will expand the world to 30k x 30k when we get the update with new mobs (Cows, Chickens, Pigs).

Shops

  • Shops will no longer receive individual warps.
  • If you want foot traffic, shops should be built within a Town or within our own Shopping District. These changes are to encourage more community building and collaboration.
  • I will be creating shop directories using CommandPanels to help players locate your individual shop. This will occur around April.
  • Towns may request 1 Shop Warp. This warp has to go to a directory room and not an individual shop.
  • These changes will be reflected in the updates I will perform to our Wiki in the coming months.

The End

The End will remain close until March 1st. On March 1st, we will open it up to the community so we can all experience the first battle of the world.
Please join us on March 1st @ 3pm EST for this thrilling event!

Events

Since I am well into my third semester, we will be postponing our usual Spring events. My plan is to begin the Build Competition on June 1st, host our Spring Festival in late June, and host our 12th Anniversary event in early July. Though I will be in my 4th semester, I won’t have to compete with work meaning that I will have more available to dedicate to these community festivities.

Current Server Goals

Please understand that these times may change due to outside factors. It is my goal to have these tasks accomplished in a timely manner, but only time will tell. Either way, I want to share this with the community so y’all can all have something to look forward to in the near future. 😊
MARCH

  • Update our Wiki. This will include: New photos for voting and membership, Adding new items to our archive, Creating a credit page for our plugins, Organizing and purging our Google Drive data, Adding access to our Mod Pack, Removing inactive pages. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of April.)

APRIL

  • Finish updating the Build Competition. This will include: Updating functions, Adding flowers & décor, Adding paths & signs both inside & outside the arena, Updating the past year builds to make them more accessible to our players. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of May.)
  • Put together our GUI plugin system. This will include: Moving all help links & information to a visual format, Moving our Warp system to a visual format, and Creating a shop directory. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of May.)
  • Finish transferring the Shulker Dodge game to a datapack. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of May.)
  • Begin updating and cleaning up our overall infrastructure. This will include: Cleaner Functions, Condensing Datapacks, Renewing our Configurations, and Cleaning our Logs (The goal is for this to be done by the end of October.)

MAY

  • Continue to update the Mob Head Datapack. (My goal is to have this done by the end of June.)
  • Creating a new mini game for our 11th anniversary. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of June.)
  • Finish all aspects of our spawn. This will include: Team Hall, Mines, and Signage. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of June.)

JUNE

  • Creating a new fancy PVP Arena. This PVP arena will have multiple game modes, maps, and functions. (The goal is for this to be done by the end of December.)

JULY

  • Creating a new promotional video. However, this will be based on what has been completed since January.

That is all I have for this update! If you have any questions or concerns about what I have shared above, please feel free to reach out to us through GuildTag, Discord, or in-game! In the meantime, we will look forward to seeing you in-game!

December Update - Semester #2 Done!

Thursday, Dec 5th LostWarrior95 Comments 0

Hello GenuineMC Family,

It has been a while since we have had a good old-fashioned Monthly Update. This second semester was rough as I juggled multiple tasks, such as work and school. However, I made it out on the other side with a 4.0! My third semester begins January 6th. I am hoping to be a bit more active during this semester, but I won’t officially know until I see my class schedule. So, make sure to check out the entirety of this post so you know the direction in which I would like to take GenuineMC because I am tired of seeing an empty, quite server.

Thank You

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding of my limitations while I am in my master’s program. It saddens me to see this server empty. We do have a pending reset around the corner, and I am going to attempt to be more active during my third semester. All that I ask is that you help keep the GenuineMC torch going until I can return in full force. I have some exciting plans for this server, so make sure to check out the pending schedule for next year down below.

Events

Since I will be starting my third semester around January 6th, we will be postponing our usual Spring events. My plan is to begin the Build Competition on June 1st, host our Easter event in late June, and host our 12th Anniversary event in early July. Though I will be in my 4th semester, I won’t have to compete with work meaning that I will have more available to dedicate to these community festivities.

World Reset - Update

Friday, Nov 22nd LostWarrior95 Comments 0

Hey GenuineMC Family!

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on how we should handle our next world reset. As of right now, the world reset will begin March of 2025. January and February of 2025 will be dedicated to transferring over server related builds, such as Spawn and event structures. We will begin moving players around the month of March. We do not have exact dates because I am waiting to see what my Spring semester will look like prior to making official plans. Once I see my schedule on January 6th, I will begin making formal plans, such as sharing the transfer document. In the meantime, check out the new updates we have regarding what can be transferred to the new world. Please read through the entirety of this post prior to commenting on this process.

PLAYER TRANSFERS

This world reset is a resource reset, not a build reset. As such, we have made adjustments to the options you may choose when deciding what to bring over to the new world.

Option #1 - Formal Transfers

  • You may request up to 5 structures to be transferred to the new world.
  • You may bring up to 5 shulkers full of resources to the new world.
  • Any official server collectable may be transferred.

Option #2 - Hard Reset Transfers

  • Collectables, buildings, and books can be donated to our community museum.
  • Players will receive an incentive if they select this option.

TRANSFER EXPECTATIONS

Builds
You may request any size building to be transfered the new world. If you do not follow the expectations for marking your build (details coming later), then your request will be denied until it has been corrected.

Towns
You may request to transfer a whole town, but you may not request for individual buildings to be moved. Essentially, you can either move 5 structures or one town. Again, if you do not follow the expectations for marking your town, then your request will be denied until it has been corrected.

Resources
We are looking to limit rare resources in order to support a general economic reset for our community. You may only bring up to…

  • 2 stacks of diamonds (not blocks)
  • 2 stacks of emeralds (not blocks)
  • 1 stack of iron blocks
  • 1 stack of gold blocks
  • 1 stack of coal blocks
  • 1 stack of lapis blocks
  • 1 half stack of netherite (not blocks)
  • 2 beacons, 2 nether stars, or 6 wither skulls
    If you do not adhere to these expectations, your transfer request will be denied until you make the appropriate corrections.

We felt that these were the best options that allowed players to still bring items but helped to rebalance the server’s economy. Please let us know your insights into this issue so we can find a solution that helps our server continue to grow. Please feel free to discuss your ideas in the comments or in our Discord Channel: #┆𝖶orld・𝖱eset

MUSEUMS

For players who would like to perform a hard reset, or who would like to remove some clutter, we are in the process of constructing 3 museums for you to display your loot and structures. You can choose to support these facilities even if you are not choosing the Hard Reset option. Each project will have a running record that documents what items have been donated to these museums. These projects will be continually updated so that anything that is donated is safe and sound.

GenuineMC Library
This project is supported by RamethanlGGS and 12thDimensionalDuck. You may donate any literature that you have collected and/or written over the years to our community collection.

GenuineMC Museum
This project is supported by BritishConnah, 12thDimensionalDuck, and Captain_B_Bear. You may donate any collectables, gear, or random garb that you have collected over the years to our community collection.

GenuineMC Village
This project is supported by Captain_B_Bear. You may donate any structures or homes that you have made to our community collection.

SHOPS (Repeat from the August Update)

On top of the whole server reset, we also want to adjust how our player-ran shops engage with our community. A lot of shops are getting overlooked which discourages players from building them. In addition, too many shops are unstocked which causes players to stop using them. Through our discussion, we came to terms with 2 options that will be available to players to help improve this situation.

Formal Changes

  • No more individual warps for shops.
  • Warps will only go to individual towns and shop directories.
  • Shops located in towns and server sponsored districts will gain access to our GUI shop directory. This directory will allow players to teleport to your shop.

New Shop Options
You may build your shop anywhere you want. There is no realistic way to prevent this. However, you will not be able to have your shop placed in our shop directory if you do build outside of these new options.
Shops will now be encouraged to be built in Towns or our own sponsored Shop District.

Towns
This will encourage players to build their own towns as well as invite players to explore them. This is to help strengthen our community aspect. Shops that don't stay stocked or maintained will be removed from the shop directory. It’s up to the owners if they remove the shops or not.

Server Shop Districts
Our amazing Duck is reflecting on his past server experiences and is working on creating a plot system for our players. We are still working out the structure of this build, but players will spend GenuineMC Tokens to gain access to a specific sized plot. Those who don't maintain their shops will lose access to their plot with all materials returned to said player.

CHANGE

Change is scary. However, change is a good thing, and in our case, change will hopefully help revive our server. I know I've said a lot, so I'll keep this short. Thank you for letting me lead this awesome community. It's a lot of work, but it is worth it. Please provide us feedback in our special channel on our Discord named #┆𝖶orld・𝖱eset. We look forward to improving GenuineMC with you.
