I'm new to the server, and I've been looking around for a very long time for diamonds.Any advice on how to get them? I have looked in caves and strip-mined below the layer where diamonds spawn.
Minecraft 1.16 releases Tuesday, June 23rd. I plan to upgrade to this version once spigot and our plugins have stabilized. I also plan to reset the map and start over fresh. Our current map has been in use since 1.13's release, I believe it's the longest I've ever kept a map around. Now that there are major terrain generation changes to the nether, I have to reset in order to get these in place.
The current schedule for upgrading is by next weekend, likely Friday or Saturday. This is entirely dependent on spigot upgrading, and having no major bugs in any plugins we use. As usual, I will not be waiting for dynmap to upgrade, so for some period of time (probably a week or two) we will not have the online map. I'll load this plugin as soon as it is available.
The old map will be provided as a download link, for people who want to play on the map or just look around unrestricted. The map is very, very large though, the largest map yet. My world borders couldn't prevent people from wasting disk space.
