The 1.17.1 Update Is FINALLY Here!!!
New changes include (but are not limited to):

General
- Reset nether and resource
- Reset individual vote counts
- Added resource nether
- World border expanded from 3250 to 7500

Ranks
We've completely overhauled our ranks and moved to a season-based system. All ranks from 0-10 have been remade and new perks are available at every level.

Everyone's ranks have been reset to 0. Your crystal shop purchases and website purchases have carried over. In addition, your existing homes also carried over; however, if you have more homes than your rank allows you will be unable to create new homes until you remove some.

Rank up requirements have also changed, they are primarily based on money but we also have requirements to encourage voting. The stats required for each rank were NOT reset, so long-time players will not have to repeat such feats as mob kills to rank up again!

Each time you rank up, you will receive a perk credit that allows you to pick a perk from one of the ranks you've achieved, keeping it permanently between seasons. These credits can also be won occasionally from events and other sources

Towny
Prices have changed. Please see /towny prices for the updated prices.

We added 2 new town ranks, co-mayor (for towns) and advisor (for nations). These ranks have essentially the same permissions minus being able to delete the town or nation.

Jobs
All jobs have been reset for all players. The max base job level has been set to 25, and can be increased by prestiging. Reach level 25 in your job, then run /prestige; your job will reset to level 0 and you'll gain a permanent 5% boost to money and exp for that job, along with the max level being increased to 30. This can be done until the job hits Level 50, for a total boost of 25% money and exp! This system will be expanded as needed if multiple players hit the 50 cap, so don't worry.

Job levels are no longer a part of ranking up, so prestige as frequently as you can for greater rewards!

- Tweaked the payouts of the jobs and added new blocks to gathering jobs
- Renamed Weaponsmith to Blacksmith and added several new items to the payout list.
- Hunters have new mobs to murder!
- Buffed Fisherman job payouts
- Builder and Crafter job updates coming soon!

Crates
The Cosmetic Crate is finally here! You can buy keys for just 50 crystals a piece or 200 crystals for 5! 1.17 items have been added to the Vote, Party, and Mythic Crates, including amethyst crystals, spore blossoms, or the spawn eggs of the new mobs!
Try your luck and see if you can be the first to win a Glow Squid Spawner in the Mythic Crate!

And much more to come!
