ItsJerryAndHarry Minecraft Server

This prison season comes with quite a few changes, so I want to take a second to talk about why.

Since Prison MMO became just Prison we have heard that people just want to focus on mob grinding - pvp should be optional and not forced - but let's be real... it's stale; boring. We did not want to take the pure grind away or impede it, so we implemented a pvp arena and eventually integrated KOTH. The current issue is that while these events and actions are pretty cool, you still only have one way to progress through the game mode.

This season aims to change that. We've added in three new avenues to explore for game mode progression. Mining blocks through the various camps will provide you with more money than you will get from mob drops. It also provides higher XP since it generally is a slower process. We've added in fishing which features the ability to sellable loot as well as increments of XP (including possibly 1 full automatic level up!). And lastly, we brought back an old IJAH game mode as a team-based event - Mob Arena. Work together inside the arena to earn money, xp, and possible even crate keys!

We sincerely hope the changes adequately give you various new ways to explore the prison game mode and liven things up a bit :)

After years of builds being done by unorganized builders, we finally have a Build Team again!
So far we've worked together to bring you the most recent Factions and KitPvP maps, and nearly all large-scale builds in the future will be done by the build team. However, we're in need of more members, so we're opening tryouts to anybody who'd like to apply.
Unlike applying for staff, there's no format or thread making, instead, we want to see what you can build. So, how do you apply?

TRYOUTS
Step 1) Join ijahbuild.serveminecraft.net
Step 2) Claim 2 plots
Step 3) Use 1 to build terrain of any type and show what you can do with worldedit, voxel sniper, and manual work to build natural-looking terrain. Use the other to build structures/buildings, showing off your ability in that field as well.
Step 4) Send me a message on discord (Heatdude#4656) saying you've finished your plots. I'll get back to you after I've had time to look at your plots.

RULES
All the rules from the J&H server still apply on this server. We reserve the right to remove you from trials and the server for any reason.
You must build alone. While showing your plot to other players is allowed, you are not to build with other players. We are interested in YOUR ability.

RESULTS
We'll be closing public trials in 2-3 weeks depending on how long people need, so take your time. Only at the end of this period will we announce who's been accepted, so there's no rush to finish before the deadline.
Remember, not everybody will make it. If you don't, we might hold trials again in the future so it won't be your only chance ever.
If you are accepted, you will remain whitelisted on the build server after trials are over. You won't get a special rank on the J&H server, as we have no interest in bringing back the [Builder] rank.

For closing remarks, I'm really excited to be leading this project. I've wanted the server to have an organized build team for years now, and even when we had one before many years ago it never truly grew to be anything more than individuals with special tags. Hopefully, we can do something bigger and better this time.
I can't wait to see what everybody who applies builds, and good luck everybody!

Strikes
Strike 1 = 15% loss of kills toward kill top
Strike 2 = 30% loss of kills toward kill top
Strike 3 = 50% loss of kills toward kill top
Strike 4 = Disqualified from payout
+ A player may earn a strike by getting banned (for any valid reason) during the season. It does not matter how minor of an infraction it is.
+ Because this is new, additional strike reasons may be added at any time.
+ There will be a locked strikes thread posted publicly to identify who has been issued a strike.
+ This does mean that bans will no longer result in automatic disqualification, but instead will severely hinder the progress you have made.

Map

• New Spawn designed by Apex
• New Outposts designed by Buck
  
• All new KOTH Arenas by Witha and Buck
• New 1 chunk spawn point by Buck
• Overworld is once again a completely normal world (without lava), except the 40x40 chunk warzone which is all custom terrain designed by Aiqw
• 2 additional flat worlds (1.5k) have been added giving us 12 total corners
• Build team for this season: Apex, Aiqw, Buck, Ezzerland, t3mptr3s, Witha
• World Border set to no longer cut through the middle of a chunk

Gameplay

• Several enhancements to cannon functionality as well as many new optimizations to the server jar itself
• Explosion size reduced to 5 blocks instead of 7
• Mob Stacking has been redone and thoroughly enhanced.
  
• Spawner Stacks now go to 10 spawners per stack. We have also dropped our previous plugin for this and coded our own.
• Mob AI is disabled on mobs that spawn from spawners as well as creepers spawned from eggs (attempted this last season but it was bugged, all those bugs have since been fixed)
• Blazes take no knockback
• E-pearls no longer pass through String
• Attempting to teleport to a home that is not in a faction claim that is not allied will result in the home being deleted (no more using homes to inside factions you were kicked from/left)
• Sugar Cane no longer automatically sells
• Pistons can no longer push sugar cane. Automated Cane Farms are now a strike-worthy offense
• The /Kits have been completely redone
• /f shield duration changed to 8 hours (hours shield can start updated to still maintain peak hours not having shield coverage)
• Str 2 has been re-added
• /wild disabled for the first hour of season.

F-Top Calculations

• Spawners must be placed in and remain in claimed land for 24 hours in order to count toward F-Top value. If unclaimed, the spawners must be broken and placed in claimed land to count. Just claiming the land the spawners are in will no longer count toward F-Top. (Not different from last season, just a reminder)
• F-Top now finds the chunk with the most value and only counts value within a 10 chunk radius so ALL value must be within 10 chunks of your highest value chunk (down from last seasons 20 chunk search).
• F-Top Updates Hourly

Rules

• Raid Cannons now have a 20 wall max buffer
• If your Raid Cannon is destroyed, you must wait 30 minutes before you may start another cannon
• Blowing up your own spawners during a raid is now Strike worthy
• For more detailed information see Faction Rules

The grace period during which TNT is disabled will end on Saturday the 4th of July @ 3PM EST.

As usual, please post any bugs you find in the Report Bugs section on the forums.
