As many of you are painfully aware we have been suffering from some very serious stability issues. We haven't made a post acknowledging these issues as we did not know the cause. That however is no longer the case as we've identified the cause and are working on a patch!
As frustrating as this is please continue being patient and understanding as we work to resolve this!
In regards to any roll backs, lose of items or issues with ranks we promise that there will be more than fair compensation once everything returns to normal.
We sincerely thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding!
An issue where a player being attacked by pigmen would be teleported to the overworld has been fixed.
When a player enters a nether portal, the portal searches a radius to find an existing portal, this search radius has been decreased to improve accuracy
Previously the Overlord rank tags were not working, this has since been fixed and [birb] and [overlord] are now available to be used if you meet the requirements.
When a player died in PvP their items would not drop, this has been fixed and now all of a players loot will drop upon death.
When using MCMMO repair (use command "/repair" and "/repair ?" to learn more about it in game) to fix an item such as a "Choppy" with overlevelled enchantments such as efficiency 6, these enchants would be degraded. This issue has been fixed.
The Wandering trader has changed location and can now be found near /park and comes with some *crazy* new trades!
Two community chest has been added to /crates. These chests can be used by players to put their unwanted crate items into in hopes that another player may take them.
There are now spawner egg traders in spawn located near the fountain. The basic trade is a sheep spawner and a mob egg, for example if the mob egg you trade with is a cow spawn egg, the spawner you will get after the trade would be a cow spawner.
Elytras no longer take durability damage in /spawn.
The rental boards in the community hall have had their regions fixed, this allows proper placement and interaction of signs.
The Christmas themed spawn has been removed and replaced with the original spawn.
SkyBlock now has its own /safepvp. This is an area where you can fight with other players without risk of losing your items or durability.

Please keep in mind that we are not qualified professionals but we are here to support you.
Today we had a brief downtime. This downtime was to update the server.
For starters we updated all public plugins to their latest versions hopefully resolving some issues with those plugins.
Second we updated the server from 1.16.1 to 1.16.4.
Finally there were some changes to the dragon fight.
The death sound should no longer be a globally played sound and only those within a certain distance will hear it.
Path finding was improved a little bit to stop those instances where the dragon just stops moving (they will still happen, just not as frequently)
The movement of the dragon should be a little more fluid.
On top of the above, we put in a measure to see if it will stop the server TPS from tanking.
