This blog post consists of two sections. staff changes, and new features
As of today the Staff Manager rank has been removed. This change has been made to simplify the staff structure and allow more staff to handle advanced situations. Mods will partially take over manager's responsibilities to ensure better workflow and efficiency.
Pursuits are a new objective system, allowing players to complete in a variety of categories for rewards.
Every pursuit is tracked over the course of a month, then reset when a new cycle begins. Top performers earn rewards automatically.
Over the past year, players have occasionally reported that their maps suddenly reverted to blank after a server crash. What at first seemed like an isolated issue turned out to be a fundamental limitation in how Minecraft and our server platform handle map saving.
Let’s take a closer look.
I'm excited to announce the next chapter of EarthMC, our third map reset since the server started almost nine years ago. It will open to the public next year May 1st, 2026. More details will surface in the coming year, but I want to properly communicate the reset well in advance in order to be as transparent as possible about the process. Resets are rare and big deal for everyone in the community.
Maybe you've played earthmc for years. Maybe you came here for the first time — perhaps angry at the server but amused by the content, after watching dupers dupe for the greater good.
Server staff recently got reports from a mayor claiming someone was trusted in their town without the mayor having added that player as trusted themselves. Trusted rank gives full access to the town and can potentially have devastating consequences. After investigating further, a malicious client mod was discovered, allowing remote command execution on targets. Let's take a closer look.
Hello everyone, Greed here. I have been working on a few features, along with ways to bring 1.20 related content to EarthMC. Below I detail what has arrived, along with some future plans.
It is now possible to invite players to the server using a personalized domain, formatted as username.earthmc.net. Players joining through your personal domain address will automatically be added to your town.
Recent blog updates are now shown in-game. Updates will show in tab and automatically disappear after two weeks. Server fetches https://earthmc.net/blog/atom.xml once an hour.
For those of you astute enough, you may have noticed that a large update to the Quarters feature has been undergoing development. After a few weeks I'm excited to let you all know that it's finally ready for you to try for yourself on Terra Aurora!
