Tonight marks the addition of vote reward keys/crates, bugfixes with horses, webstuff, and commands, the official conversion of new backpacks, and an unexpected feature - a server resource pack!

Vote Rewards
Vote rewards are officially back! A new pool of rewards has been added, including some rare and interesting items! These Mark I chests will contain 2-4 items per chest, allowing for you to be truly rewarded for voting the server up on the web!
Since Vote Cookies are no longer in these chests (yet, at least), a trader outside of the Windforge Vote Shack is trading 8 cookies for a single key!
These new rewards also mark the retirement of titles as direct rewards. Vote titles can now be purchased for vote cookies in the 2nd floor of the vote shack. Once vote cookies are added to the reward pool, their price will go up!
The default voter rewards will also be phased out in the coming future, so if there's anything you want from this villager, best buy it now! The seasonal villager (Currently the Summer villager) will remain, and continue to be switched out during the year.

Backpack Conversion
Backpacks are officially using the new system! All old commands will now direct you to the new backpacks. The four ranks will receive 2 backpacks, where Royalists receive 5 and Royalist+ receive 8. This change is part of a future rank overhaul.
If you're someone who has not grabbed their stuff from the old packs, you can still access your items until Tuesday, July 4. These items can be accessed by using /chest. After July 4, they will forever be gone.

Server Resource Pack
A feature that was meant to be coming soon has been released tonight instead. The server has a resource pack that changes the font of your client. This is to help with future changes and things we can do with chat. Expect different textures for blocks to come in the future as well. If anyone has suggestions for an existing texture pack to be integrated into ours, feel free to suggest it in this thread.
If anyone needs the texture pack locally, you can visit this link to download it directly.

That's the main stuff that happened tonight! Stay tuned for events happening later this month, along with a few updates for the 4th. Also, the riseapoc store will be down for a good amount of time today for updates. Once it is back online, Royalist rank will be discounted 70% until July 10th.
