📢 Announcement 📢
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔️ Clans & Claims Update — Out Now!

The **Clans & Claims Update** is now live! Here's a quick recap of everything included in today's release:

🏰 Clan-Based Claims

* Claims are now owned by **clans** instead of individual players.
* Every clan member adds **+20 claim chunks** to your clan.
* Claim costs now scale as your clan expands.
* Clan leaders can manage and remove all clan claims.

💰 New Coin Economy

The server economy has been completely reworked.
New wallet command: /pouch

New currencies:

* 🟤 Copper Coins
* ⚪ Silver Coins
* 🟡 Gold Coins

Earn coins through:

* Loot chests
* Mob drops
* Events

Coins are now used for **Claims, Waystones, Clans and Clan Shops.**

Coins stored in your pouch will convert automatically to the next tier of coin.
Conversion Rates:

64 Bronze Coins → 1 Silver Coin
64 Silver Coins → 1 Gold Coin

When you make a purchase, your pouch will automatically break larger denominations if necessary. For example, if you have 1 Gold Coin and need to pay 8 Silver Coins for a Waystone teleport, your pouch will convert the gold into silver, complete the payment, and leave you with 56 Silver Coins. No manual conversion is required.

⚔️ Clans Replace Teams

Teams have officially been replaced by **Clans**, bringing:

* Shared clan claim access
* Shared quest progression
* Clan tags
* Better integration with future content
* Improved anti-grief and anti-exploit systems
* Clan tiers & buffs

⚔️ Clan Wars

Declare war on rival clans and battle over territory.

During wars:

* PvP is enabled throughout both clans' claims.
* Allies can join wars to help defend
* Block breaking and placing is disabled.
* Wars are focused entirely on PvP combat not griefing.

🗺️ Oakenvale Companion Mod (Java)

Java players can now use the optional **Oakenvale Companion Mod**, featuring:

* Xaero's Minimap & World Map integration with editable keybinds
* Visual claim borders
* Map-based claiming and unclaiming
* Map based claim management
* Easier claim, role, and member management

**-Please download the .jar file provided below and place it into your .minecraft>Mods folder (This is a "Fabric" mod)
-Xaeros maps+Oakenvale mod need to be on a v1.21.10 launcher profile or they will not work.**

*Bedrock players can continue using the standard claim menu.*

🎯 Bounties Return

The bounty system is back with a new approval process.

* Changed to player bounties
* Newbie protection (7 Days)
* Players can only set 1 bounty every 7 days
* Targets can be hunted for up to 7 days until it expires
* Active bounty targets lose PvP protection
* Buyable permanent immunity to bounties being placed on you (200gold)
* 2 day cooldown on bounties being placed on you after you you die with one

➕ Additional Feature

**You can now use "/menu" command to navigate our many features on the server all in one place!

Waystones now cost 8 Silver Coins to use. I have taken the liberty of replacing all of the waystones with new ones, please make sure to rediscover them before traveling!
Waystones on Bedrock have been fixed. They now no longer emit constant particle & noise effects.

We have a new Entity+Redstone cap feature that is on the server. This is still a work in progress and could be updated as time goes on. I have been generous with the limits imposed & will release a public info-sheet once more has been finalised regarding this.**

🐦‍🔥 Looking Ahead

Work has already begun on our future connected RPG experience, featuring custom mobs, bosses, quests, progression systems, and much more. More information will be shared as development continues.

Anything not covered in this announcement will be revisited tomorrow if anything is missed. But I have been sat at my PC since 7:30am and it is now 11pm 🥲

Thank you to everyone for your support we hope you enjoy the update, and we'll see you in Oakenvale! ❤️
