Echelon 2.0

December 10, 2025

Echelon 2.0

Update 2.0 focuses on progression and player quality-of-life. This release expands voting rewards, upgrades the claiming system, introduces Teams and Public Chunks, and includes spawn and Discord improvements.

Voting System

The Echelon Voting NPC is now at /spawn (replacing the Echelon Guide). Use /vote in game to open the voting book and visit the supported vote sites:

  • Minecraft-MP
  • Minecraft Servers List
  • MinecraftServers
  • MineBrowse
  • TopG
  • MineRank

Each successful vote gives 1 Vote Point.

Vote Rewards

Redeem Vote Points at the Echelon Voting NPC:

  • 2 Vote Points: Echelites Pack
  • Grants a random amount of Echelites between 50 and 500
  • 5 Vote Points: Claim Teleport Unlock
  • Unlocks teleporting to your claimed chunks for Echelites
  • 10 Vote Points: 2 Hours of Immunity
  • Starts immediately and counts down even while offline
  • Prevents PvP while active
  • 25 Vote Points: Echelon Box
  • Spin for a random item (excluding creative-only items)

Use your exact in-game name when voting, and be online so your rewards can be assigned correctly.

Claiming

Claiming has been significantly expanded in 2.0. The original foundation is still here, but now you have more control over security, visibility, and travel.

Show Chunk Borders

When enabled, your claim borders render as top-to-bottom particles so you can clearly see the full protected area.

The border particles are visible to nearby players while active and default to off after relogging. As you claim connected chunks, borders merge cleanly so your territory is easy to read without jagged gaps.

Chunk Settings

You can now configure these options per claimed chunk:

  • Disable TNT
  • Blocks all TNT-based explosions in the chunk
  • Off by default
  • Disable Creeper Grief
  • Costs 200 Echelites to enable
  • Enabling Doors
  • Allows doors and trapdoors to be used by others
  • Enabling Chests
  • Lets other players access containers in that chunk
  • Villager and Pet Protection
  • Enabled by default so villagers and pets cannot be damaged unless you turn it off

Owned Chunk Viewer

The owned chunk viewer has been fully upgraded:

  • View every claimed chunk in one place
  • Select any claimed chunk to manage it
  • Rename chunk entries
  • Set teleport location while standing inside that chunk
  • Teleport to a selected chunk for 100 Echelites

Quality-of-life improvements:

  • Your current chunk appears first and is highlighted
  • Chunk list is sorted alphabetically
  • Pagination support for large claim counts

You can now mark claimed chunks as PUBLIC. Public chunks allow other players to teleport in for 50 Echelites (25 to the owner and 25 to the server) and vote them up or down. Rankings are used for the Top Public Chunks display at spawn.

Teams

Teams are now live and add shared progression for groups.

Team Creation

Use /teams to open the team interface and create a team. Creating a team costs 1,000 Echelites.

Managing Your Team

After creating a team, you can manage it from the team menu:

  • Rename Team
  • Changes team name (must be unique)
  • Invite Player
  • Sends an invitation to join
  • Manage Members
  • Transfer ownership or remove members, including offline members
  • Team Claimed Chunks
  • View claimed chunks for all team members and teleport for 150 Echelites
  • Disband Team
  • Permanently deletes the team

Team Name Tags

Teams now include a dedicated team name tag so players can quickly identify grouped members in chat and above player names.

Teams are the foundation for future competitive content. The current survival world remains focused on anti-griefing, and a future team-vs-team world is planned as a fresh-start environment once feedback and balancing are complete.

Public Chunks

Public Chunks let you share builds with the full server while keeping your protections in place.

Listing a Chunk as Public

To make a chunk public:

  • Run /claim
  • Open Owned Chunks
  • Select the chunk
  • Set Public Access to Public

This can be toggled on or off later and is not permanent.

Visiting and Voting

Use /publics to browse all listed public chunks. From there, you can teleport or vote on each listing.

  • Teleporting costs 50 Echelites
  • 25 Echelites goes to the chunk owner
  • 25 Echelites goes to the server pool

Top Public Chunks

The top 3 public chunks by vote score are displayed at /spawn.

Auto Path Creation

Auto Path Creation now grants Speed I while running on your built paths.

Spawn

Spawn received several quality-of-life upgrades:

  • Permanent snowfall at /spawn
  • Permanent Night Vision at spawn
  • New Drinking Well for 5 Echelites
  • Restores hunger and health
  • Grants 1 minute of Regeneration

Discord Server

The Discord server received a full visual and structure refresh.
