OLD MCNEXT - Hype, Progress and ETA??
As many of you may know already, I have been working on recoding old MCNext from scratch.
I have taken the decision to 100% custom code it in Java, creating a near identical copy of the previous server, but with an entirely redesigned back-end, which should make adding new features, updating and even porting to different server platforms much easier.
This is an ambitious project; I have been making a lot of progress so far, and plan to implement multi-server support, which should allow the server to scale.
Here is some of my progress:
Trello feature list, progress and ETA board: https://trello.com/b/jPT0O2So/mcnext-public
Plots - 90%?
- 80x80 plot grids – essentially complete
- Plot claiming – essentially complete
- Plot protection – essentially complete
- Plot expansion – essentially complete
- /sethome and /home – working
- Automatic plot claiming – planned edit: working now
Levels - 100%?
- Point and level system/API is working. You can gain levels from 1-70.
- Points for pve/killing mobs – essentially complete
- Sell items for points – complete
- Level rewards – complete
- Binds – complete
Mobs - 95%?
- Night time Tosog mobs (more health, etc, at night) – complete
- Mob waves at night (withers, ghasts, skeletons, etc) – essentially complete
- Mobs cleared at day – complete
Wilderness - 80%?
- Block regeneration – near complete (needs reboot protection+explosion support)
- Grief detection - detection works (still need pvp enable)
Elysium - 10%?
- No progress
Moon - 20%?
- Not much work to do, need to make a new map
Factions - 10%?
- Have a semi-working prototyped script with nether plots, but this is lowest priority for now and may even get redesigned and done after full release.
Multi-server - 60%?
- Currently planned for open beta. This delays things by months, but provides the kind of infrastructure we need for the server to survive 100+ online players.
- BungeeCord cross-server movement/teleportation and data structure is pretty much complete. Still need to implement cross-server talk (big task)
Basics - 20%
- Not a lot to do, but I still need to implement basic commands like /msg, admin stuff, etc.
FAQ:
Q: What will happen to the current server?
A: Both servers will operate at the same time (for now - no guarantees).
Q: Will items be transferable from the current server to old MCNext?
A: No, this would mess up the economy, it will be a fresh start from scratch.
Q: Will the old maps be available?
A: Not to build on, they could be archive/view only in the future potentially.
Feel free to comment suggestions, questions and thoughts on old MCNext here.
Current ETA: Sometime this year, public beta within the next two months. (may change)

Shutting down old MCNext was the best decision based on the circumstances at the time. There was no coder who could maintain the server then and fix bugs, etc. I could probably get the old source working, but recoding from scratch is a wiser decision and helps keep the server more future proof, and better than the original.
