The Battle Arena lands - jump into /battle for fast two-team PvP with a shared kit, live scores and auto-balanced sides. Around it: bees stack and breed like cows, AFK fishing shows your full haul, the Head Shop is cheaper (and you can buy your own head), supporter ranks grant far more claim blocks, every limited trader now resets together at 7 PM Central, your nickname shows everywhere other players see your name, and the sidebar scoreboard is fixed after the latest Minecraft update.

Battle Arena

New Battle Arena - jump into /battle for fast two-team PvP (Red vs Black) in a dedicated arena
Everyone fights with the same full kit, and it's fully restored every respawn so no fight starts at a disadvantage
Names show in your team's colour above your head, with your points right under your name so the score is always visible
Kills scale with your target - you gain 60% of their points and they lose 20% of theirs
Teams auto-balance as players join and leave, so matches stay even
The arena lobby is fully protected - nothing can be broken and no mobs spawn
While you're in a battle the tab list becomes a battle view: everyone grouped and coloured by team with no prefixes, and the header shows how many are fighting plus the live team scores

Duels

Duels that run past 7.5 minutes now go to a 30-second sudden death - keep fighting, but if nobody is knocked out, whoever dealt the most damage takes the win
Your pet steps off the field while you're in a duel (or spectating one) and comes right back the moment you're done

Bees

Bees now stack once a few gather close together, just like cows - so feeding a stacked bee a flower breeds it (one baby per pair, up to half the stack every 5 minutes)
Breeding bees and newly hatched babies are no longer pulled into a stack mid-breed, so breeding works normally even on busy farms

Endermen

Endermen now stack - nearby endermen merge into a single counted entity (up to 8 per stack) instead of crowding an area, the same way bees and other mobs already do

Fishing

Come back from AFK fishing and you get a full summary of everything you reeled in - as a menu and listed in chat - including custom event fish by name and the enchantments on any bows or books you hooked (hover to see them)
Fish caught with a Double Float rod now stack together in your inventory instead of landing as separate single fish

Head Shop

Every head now costs $250 (down from $500)
You can now buy your own head

Towns

Founding a town now turns the claim you make it from into the town's land, so the claim blocks you spent become the town's blocks instead of a separate personal claim
Pull blocks back out of a town with /town withdraw - if you withdraw more than the town's land covers, you'll be asked to set a smaller area
Adding someone to your town now sends them an invite to accept or deny first - click Accept or Deny on Java, or use /town accept | /town deny - so nobody gets pulled into a town without saying yes

Claim Blocks

Donor and Ordea+ now grant far more base claim blocks - Donor +4000 and Ordea+ +2000 (up from +400 and +800) - so your land protection goes a lot further

Claims

Armor stands you've unlocked in your claim can now be hit by other players - so shared XP farms keep working - but they still can't be broken by anyone you don't trust
In claims you own or are trusted in, you can push entities around again - other players and animals like cows - while visitors still can't budge anything on your land

Chest Shops

Custom-enchanted items now show their enchantment names on chest shop signs, the same as normal enchantments

Custom Enchants

Tunnel Bore, Vein Miner and Timber no longer cause server lag when clearing lots of blocks at once

Trade Limits

All limited traders now reset on the same schedule - 7 PM Central every day (and once a week for weekly limits)

Quests

Collecting honey from a hive now counts toward the bee quest - no Auto Collector needed
Breaking sugar cane now counts toward the weekly sugar cane quest, and every block of a tall stalk counts
Daily quests now catch up a missed reset if the server was offline at the reset hour, so you're never left unable to start a new one
The quest menu's info button now shows how long until the daily reset, not just the reset time

Nicknames

Your nickname now shows everywhere other players see your name - teleport and party requests, claim offers and trust, town invites, auctions, payments and more - instead of your account name

Website

The vote page got a refresh - a tidier daily banner and vote-sites grid, and each tier now spells out the bonus it grants (+homes, +shops, +auction slots, +warps)
Your account breakdown - homes, shops, auction slots, warps, claim blocks and your vote progress, with where each one comes from - now lives in one dropdown on both the vote page and the store
You can now apply for staff right from the support page - a Staff Application option walks you through the Helper role and what it involves before you submit

Warps

Typing /warps now opens the warp menu, the same as /warp

Scoreboard

Fixed the sidebar scoreboard showing up blank (and the disconnects some players hit) after the latest Minecraft update - your scoreboard shows again
