ECHELON UPDATES

Echelon 4.0

General Changes

This is a smaller but powerful update to flush out some bugs and help clear up some things! A resource pack is now required even though it does not change many things in game. This will open up the option for custom textures tho so *nice*.

• Removed some useless logging that wasn't needed anymore.
• Added a ender chest to the spawn.
• Typing now counts towards you being active within the AFK announcer
• When no longer AFK there's another announcement.
• Reduced server side sound effects by 50% (may have missed some. Please let me know if there was anything missed.)
• Updated /vote to route to our website to you can open all the vote sites a bit easier instead of clicking each link in the book.
• Changed the Echelite Pack to a gold color to make it easier to tell which is which from a Bagalon.
• Fixed a issue being unable to see all the team claims since no next page arrows
• Made it so you can leave a team if joined.
• /pay now supports Echelars. Usage is /pay [Name] [Amount] Echelars or Echelites
• Updated UI for the Echelon Store with better flow.
• Changed the lobby to a new map and removed snowing at spawn.
• Updated NPCs to follow you as you walk around them.
• Changed the Tier 4 red to a darker red.

Mob Decapitator

Some fresh new updates for you guys based on the recent suggestions!

• You can now receive the mob heads from the following;
• Nautilus - 1 Echelite
• Zombie Nautilus - 2 Echelites
• Wither - 100 Echelites
• Parched - 3 Echelites
• Camel Husk - 5 Echelites
• Ender Dragon - 5,000 Echelites.
• Added a /toggle option to stop receiving the messages in your chat that could be spammy.
• Added the option to downgrade the current Tier of the mob decapitator perk. Can upgrade back without requiring additional payments.

Lower Tier price change

Another suggested feature was to have the cost of lower tiers be slightly increased since they are more rare so we completed that as well! Tier 1: +50% (1.5x) Tier 2: +25% (1.25x) Tier 3: +15% (1.15x) Tier 4: +5% (1.05x)

For example at a base cost of 3 Echelites for the Guardian head each tier will be valued at; Tier 1: 4 Echelites Tier 2: 3 Echelites Tier 3: 3 Echelites Tier 4: 3 Echelites

For example at base cost of 100 Echelites for a wither each tier will be valued at; Tier 1: 150 Echelites Tier 2: 120 Echelites Tier 3: 115 Echelites Tier 4: 105 Echelites

This is not a *drastic* change but is a change to set these aside from other tiers outside of the rarity of the item which would be expected to be in the economy for more than the head costs.

Mob head drop change

This is a rather impactful change which means now the mob heads will drop to the ground instead of spawning in your inventory. This will encourage users to build mob farms for XP and listing them on the /publics to passively gain the mob heads for selling later. This also means you can create your own and filter these heads through hoppers without risking losing them to being dropped around you.

Claim

Some quick additions and bugs squashed here

• Made the flight from the /claim save state on log out and restarts.
• You can now eat in someone elses claim even if Right click perms are disabled.
• Updated the claim borders to use beacons with higher render distance with a 60 second count down timer displayed on screen
• Update some buttons that was closing the entire UI instead of taking you back 1 step. Most notably on the /claim --> chunk actions.
• Made team claims show when you show the borders to easily identified when claiming chunks near other players on your team.
• Capped claiming to 1,000 Echelites which you will hit starting at 195 Claims. (No retro refund as only 2 players were effected and manually provided refunds to those players.)

Unclaiming chunks remotely

• You can now unclaim chunks from the Chunk actions UI which is found here;
• /claim
• Owned Chunks
• Click on the chunk you wish to manage/unclaim
• Click on the Redstone block

Claim decay

When you purchase a chunk, you will be given an automatic 1 week claim protection. After this week your chunk will become UNCLAIMED. This means anyone can reclaim your land. You can purchase more time proactively for your land with Echelites however.

• 1 Week by default when you purchase any Chunk.
• 1 Month additional should cost 75 Echelites
• 1 Week additional should cost 25 Echelites
• 1 Day additional should cost 5 Echelites

Purchase more time in /claim under the Owned chunks setting similar to how you unclaim the chunk. Click the bone icon instead to buy more time for your land.

Designated Players

Added a new chunk setting in the chunk actions from the owned chunk icon that allows you to accept a player to the chunk you have claimed to allow them to build in that chunk specifically. Can remove them as well. This is completed with a similar flow to the above methods for unclaiming and the chunk decaying.

Item Buncher

You can now rest easy with all your items bunching together within a 4x4 block radius. This is by default so everyone has this. All the items will be within the singular stack. This also works for XP orbs as well.

Echelite Trader

• Now using a chest UI instead of the Villager trader UI to allow you to buy and sell directly from the Echelite balance instead of requiring the Echelite physical currency.
• Added name tags and Magma blocks.
• Added the option to buy your own head for 500 Echelites.

Echelite Store Items

• You can now color the Bagalon.
• Can no longer rename the Bagalon.
• Updated the Echelon Box so you can no longer place it and buffed it to have a chance to start rolling more rewards in the same box. For example, when you Right click the Echelon Box with it in your hand, you will see 1 item rolling but after a second you may see 2 or 3 items rolling. This has a 10% chance to start rolling 2 items and a 1% chance to start rolling 3 items.

Brand new perk!

• Magic Mob Touch. This allows you to use silk touch and mine a monster spawner and receive that spawner as it was before you mined it.

Brag

You have asked and received! The best way to brag about the items you have now in game by type /brag while holding the item you would like to brag about.

Top Donator

Considering this is a thing now we need to show the love for anyone who donates enough to be the top donator.

• Top donor now has their own pet which only they can access in /pets. (Does the same function as all other pets so non-p2w.)

Player Tab List

This needed some love considering it was completely bland beforehand. You can now see your ping to the server as well as a nice looking list of all the players.

The Upper Echelon

Added a load more Achievements which will be improved on further as time goes on.

• Added advancement for claiming 50 Chunks which rewards you with 1000 Echelites.
• Added advancement for claiming 100 Chunks which rewards you with 2500 Echelites.
• Added advancement for claiming 250 Chunks which rewards you with 5000 Echelites.
• Help | Run the command /help | 150 Echelites
• Rookie | Play for 1 Hour | 1,000 Echelites
• Regular | Play for 6 Hours | 2,500 Echelites
• Dedicated | Play for 12 Hours | 10,000 Echelites
• Addict | Play for 24 Hours | 10,000 Echelites
• No Life | Play for 72 Hours | 25,000 Echelites
• Deep Diver | Break a Wet Sponge/Sponge in a Sea Temple | 2,500 Echelites
• Wither Slayer | Kill the Wither | 5,000 Echelites

All of these are subject to change. We also no longer require a linear progression meaning you can complete these in any order you wish.

Better Leads

Improved the lead to work on all mobs in the game including villagers and will teleport with you when teleporting to other places like /home.

• Does not work if you walk through the nether portal but you can teleport to a home set in the nether with them leaded.

Leaderboards

At spawn you can now see who is the tippy top of the wealthy! This does NOT include any Echelites that were gained from advancing Tiers in game to avoid someone buying their way to the top of the leaderboard. (More leaderboards will be coming soon.)

Chat Dividers

While this is my baby and I love it, i have added a option in the /toggle to remove it
