Greetings, MineYourMind Community & Friends! We're thrilled to catch you up on the latest happenings in our community! Recent downtimes may have caught your attention, and we appreciate your patience as we've been working behind the scenes to bring you some game-changing upgrades. Upgraded Server Hardware: A couple of weekends ago, we pulled off a special hardware upgrade to take our server's performance to the next level. We experienced downtime, and we're sincerely grateful for your understanding. The result? Our server now runs on the cutting-edge AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700s, ensuring smoother gameplay and heightened efficiency. This upgrade also enables us to host more types of modpacks on the network! Proxy Software Migration: Over the past few months, you might have noticed occasional downtimes. Fear not, for it was all part of our grand plan! We've been busy testing, bug fixing, and migrating all our servers to a shiny new proxy technology. This move not only makes our network compatible with the latest Minecraft versions but also enhances overall stability. The transition from the old proxy to the new one was a learning curve, especially for how we should handle Forge clients. However, it sets the stage for a more seamless and enjoyable Minecraft experience in the future. Support for Latest Minecraft Versions: The fusion of hardware upgrades and proxy software migration opens the door for us to announce our support for the latest Minecraft versions you've recently seen and those yet to come. We're committed to staying on the pulse of Minecraft's evolution, ensuring you can dive into the newest modpacks and adventures without any constraints at a quicker rate. Unification & Standards: You may have observed that there is a significant emphasis on standardization and unification in our operations. Behind the scenes, our staff team has been revisiting our standards for tasks like modpack updates, new server releases, support ticket handling, and information unification for accessibility. While it has been a process, these efforts are geared towards streamlining operations for a more cohesive and user-friendly experience. Staff: We acknowledge that we're not the biggest team, but we're open to welcoming more staff members who would like to contribute to any aspect of the network. Whether you have a lot of time to spare or just play on the servers and enjoy helping players in-game, moderating chat, becoming a moderator could be a good fit, for example! /rant We anticipate that these changes might spark questions or curiosity, and we welcome your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as we refine and optimize our servers, dedicated to providing you with a enjoyable gaming experience. These upgrades are just the beginning of our ongoing commitment to excellence. Feel free to share your feedback in the Suggestions and Feedback forum category or hop onto our Discord server and post a suggestion in this dedicated channel! If you want to post a private suggestion that nobody else can see, you can head over to the Talk to the Staff section on the forums. Thank you for being an integral part of our community. We're far from finished bringing new content your way, so brace yourselves for even more exciting updates in the future! Happy Holidays! MineYourMind Team
