1.8 has worked for a while now thanks to a protocol hack but it didn't have exactly everything that 1.8 has until now. You might not even notice a difference right away as the hack did a pretty good job at mimicking 1.8, but things like slime blocks not moving several blocks as it should has been fixed and so forth. But with updates come bugs, for some reason all the private signs stopped working. The first line on all the signs changed from "[Private]" to "Private" and I wasn't able to solve this problem because I didn't know what was causing it so I quickly created a temporary plugin to temporary fix the issue. It basically changes the private signs so that they work correctly again when you are trying to open the locked container. I would recommend that you right click all of your chests and doors to make sure they are properly locked.

Now let's quickly talk about something else. Spleef has been dead for about a week because it was trapping people and refusing to let them go, so I had to kill it. But now it's back, and with less bugs! And also a new map has been made by cckjellis and a bunch of other people (I did the roof :3) for everybody to enjoy. Just want to remind you that everybody can make arenas and maps for the minigames, as long as they are good of course.

And the last thing, we have decorated the hub a bit for Christmas again including a fun little parkour (hidden in the Christmas tree) with a reward at the top. Just in case you haven't noticed :P.

[Edit] I forgot to mention, the live map is back online as well :D
