Late last year, mojang introduced the Exploration Update[www.mojang.com]: Minecraft 1.11! It’s been a long time coming, but QuixolMC has finally updated to this version of minecraft. (Sorry for the delay btw, things got ahead of us a bit but we hope two more days wasn’t too long of a wait!)

We’ve changed a lot of things in this update, a few of which we’ve already talked about, and a few things we have yet to even unveil.

For this update, we have generated a new world which is named “protos”. It is a vanilla 1.11 world, and it has a circular border with a radius of 12,000 blocks. We advise anyone who’s unfamiliar with the changes to the vanilla game check out mojang’s news posts about both 1.11 as well as 1.10, the Frostburn Update[mojang.com], because we skipped updating to 1.10 entirely!

When you login to the server, if you have been online before you will be placed where you logged out at last. All of your items, builds, sethomes, factions and other various data should still be where they are in the old world, just as you left them. However, when you enter the new world, you will have a separate inventory that you cannot share with the old world. If you ever become confused about which world you are in, you may simply press tab and see- if it says “world” then you are in the old world, if it says “protos” then you are in the new world.

For those wishing to get started in the new world, we have moved Orsus to the new world, and you may get there using /spawn . We have also created new “far” warps, which you can access using /warp north , /warp south, /warp east, or /warp west . Alternatively, you may use the button in the information center at Orsus to teleport somewhere randomly in the world. We also recommend using /kit tools for those that are not new players, so you have something to start you out with.

At the moment, we do not have any other warps or locations set up in the world of Protos- we have yet to build a new shopping area, nor a place to party and put your item donations. We also have yet to setup the newly revamped economy, so there is no way to make money on the server for the time being, although we have many ideas for how to approach this in the future. There’s a lot of things missing at the moment, and a lot of things we need to fix- we’ve already run across several bugs in this update, most critically the fact that nether portals don’t work! We’re working hard to fix all this stuff and make a great server environment for you all to play on, so please try to be patient as much of the staff is a bit overwhelmed with life in addition to working on the server.

This period of “Public Beta” could go on for some time, possibly months, and in this time we plan to update and change many things on the server. We hope that things won’t be too confusing for you guys and we’re going to try to keep you as updated as possible on all the new things coming and going.

Thank you everyone for supporting the staff as we work on this, we appreciate all the love & support we’ve gotten from you guys immensely! If you have any questions or feedback to give about the server, please let us know, and most importantly, have fun!
