Dear players,

Because of the delay of prison, again, I will post some spoilers of the prison server. These spoilers won't show everything of the server, only parts of the map.
This spoilers are the only pictures that will be publiced before the release.

Again, sorry for the delay, we will fix the problem as soon as possible.


If you have any questions about prison, please go to the "Prison!" topic.

Cheers,
lastyoda and the staff team

Dear members,

We're sorry to tell you all, but we are unable to release Prison in the state it is right now.
A fatal error in our core setup of Prison has been found, and we are unable to solve this in a few hours. We were already working on it the whole day, but we just now managed to find out what the issue was. We are not sure yet about how to fix it, but we promise that we will.

Because we are not sure how to fix it, we don't want to make plans for a definitive release right now, since we also don't know how long it will take to fix this issue. We are sorry about the delay (once again), but we will keep you guys updated on our progress and when we will release Prison. For everyone who was hyped just as much as we were, we are deeply sorry for letting you down, but what will come will be worth the wait.

Just like a baker would say: you don't want to sell an unfinished piece of bread, you want to sell a perfectly baked bread so that people would recognize your strength and skill. In other words: we don't want to deliver something that would die in itself because it doesn't work, we want to make sure that our quality is above quantity.

Once again, sorry for the delay and inconvenience,
Hollandcraft Staff team

Dear players,

Prison is almost there! We have been working on it for the last few months.
This Prison will be different from the old Prison, the spawn and mines are completely new!
However, the way you used to play Prison will stay the same.

What is Prison?
Prison is a gamemode in Minecraft where you start at mine A. From mine A you need to rank up to Z by mining and selling blocks.
When you reached Z, you can prestige. Prestige means you can show to people how far you already are in Prison. When you prestige, you will be set back to mine A BUT you will have prestige "1". In total you can prestige 10 times.

You can buy eTokens (enchantment tokens) from shops or get them by voting. With those tokens you can buy cool enchants!
ETokens are worth alot so be careful!
You can also buy a plot in the plotworld where you can build your own buildings from blocks you mined or blocks you bought from the shop.

What will be new in Prison?
- The mines have changed. The blocks are the same but the percentages will be different to you. Because of that, we changed the prices of the rankups.
You will need to mine more until you can rankup.
- The map has changed, @AndrewRed has built an awesome new spawn and fantastic new mines! The spawn is easier now, you can see all of the spawn when you are in the middle. You don't
have to search for anything!
- There is a scoreboard now too! In this scoreboard you can see your money balance, how much money you still need...

Dear players,

At precisely 14:03 VintagePvP was released, you can access it through a portal in one of our lobbies, using the "/server" menu, or directly with the command "/vintagepvp".

To the people who forgot what VintagePvP actually was, you can find here an awesome explanation written by @AndrewRed

If there are any questions about VintagePvP feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Michel & the Staff team.

Dear players,

Do you remember that old KitPvP map, a very loved map with a spawn in the middle of it, and somewhere in the map a Hollandcraft Pub? You were able to create the kits yourself, you could buy items to improve your kit and create your very own kit and many more features, including the 1.8 PvP combat?

This KitPvP was very loved by a group of people among us, and we wanted to return a favor for our players, so we decided last months to work on this, to bring this gamemode and map back to its old glory, but also with all the new tech of Hollandcraft that everyone is used to!

But we already had an gamemode that's called KitPvP, and therefore conflict with each other. That is why we looked for a good name, but then Luuk came with the idea to name this gamemode to its core: PvP in a retro/vintage style. That's why we decided to call this unique gamemode VintagePvP!

We have transferred a lot of our already known features to VintagePvP, including the Bounty system, CombatLog, Scoreboard, Leaderboards, Interactive Chat and Stats, but we also kept the look and feel of the old VintagePvP by changing almost nothing to the map. We also kept the Hollandcraft Pub, but we changed a few things there, like a whole new control panel for all doors!

In VintagePvP, you don't work with Levels and Scores like in KitPvP, it's all about the kills, deaths and your KDR. For every kill you make, you will receive a Coin. You can use these in the Kit Shop to buy Items and Armor,...

Dear players,

As a new addition to our Staff team, and because we felt there was a desire for more variety in Staff, we hereby introduce the Junior Helper Programme.

The Junior Helper Programme (JHP) is a programme in which we take on players for a test period as Staff members with limited permissions. When this month is over, we decide whether these players are suitable to be full Staff, or that they unfortunately did not meet the requirements. In the first case, they will be promoted to Helper, in the second they will be reset to their original rank. With this programme, we hope to enforce our Staff team and have a more varied group. This is because English speaking players can also participate in the JHP!

How can I participate in the JHP?

It's very easy: you simply create a Staff apply! This can be done on the forums, and should be at least 100 words in length. Include your Skype name and Minecraft name and post your apply. That's all you have to do.
You can go to the staff application thread by clicking here.

How long does the JHP last?

The JHP lasts 30 days. Every first day of the month, new Junior Helpers are selected, and the Junior Helpers of the previous month are either promoted or reset to their original rank.

We hope to have informed you sufficiently about this matter, and we also hope to see many of you as Junior Helpers soon!

Best regards,

Michel and the...

Dear Players,

Maintenance finished

To improve the network of our server, we have decided to reinstall all servers, this is done.
We only have to transfer the current online servers to those other servers, so you might experience some downtime!

Update 1: Still transfering data, takes longer than expected. Probably will be online tomorrow.
Update 2: It's enough for today, all servers are transfered, the only thing that has to be done is to reinstall a decent ban plugin, fix some internal configurations and last check if votifier is still working.
Update 3: Started again, about an hour ago, new ban system is almost done, checking up final things.
Update 4: Ban system has been updated and working, now working on some internal configurations.
Update 5: Everything is back online again.

Best Regards,
Michel
