Server Updating to 1.16.3!

Hey Patrons!

I've got some exciting news for you all! This post is visible only to those at the current Pro & Elite tiers as you guys are the ones with access to our amazing Minecraft server!

I've been in contact with our Server Hosting company, Skynode, and we're going to be updating our server tonight to Java version 1.16.3! I'll try and do this as late as I can, but basically they're going to set it up for us, backup our world, and then I'll be able to just restart the server tonight and once it comes back up it'll be updated to 1.16.3.

With this update we'll also be adding 2 new datapacks:
- Wandering Trades: Blocks Only
- Silence Mobs

The Silence Mobs datapack will allow you to silence a mob (handy if you're like me and have a named zombie in your house who is always growling), while the Wandering Trades: Blocks Only will add some additional value to the wandering trader and will offer some REALLY unique trades and items!

Minecraft 1.16.3 will add the ability for us to place the new chains sideways, as well as adding the new Piglin Brute to the Bastions in the nether! 1.16.3 is the most recent update that basically just contained some bug fixes, but for the full list of major things that were changed or added between 1.16.1 and 1.16.2 you can go here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-16-2

I hope you guys are as excited about all this as I am. Sorry I didn't give you much of a heads up about this, but I wasn't sure exactly when we were going to update. I heard back from Skynode this morning and ultimately decided to do it tonight.

JUST REMEMBER...after we update the server, you will need to update your Minecraft client to Version 1.16.3 to be able to connect!

Thanks for your continued support here through Patreon, and for playing and providing feedback on the server! My hope is that you guys will enjoy these new datapacks, as well enjoy as playing in the most up-to-date version of Minecraft!

Can't wait to see what you create!
