ENDERCON AGAIN!!! This year we had Spleef, pig racing (on a special new Rainbow Road!!!), more dance parties, and an excellent scavenger hunt orchestrated by Littlestarm, one of our wonderful players!

Yes, indeed, we are BACK and better than ever! Thanks to an upgrade to the server’s memory, we’re now running Minecraft Java Edition 1.15. Wandering far enough from our spawn town of Green Canyon will take you to never-before-generated chunks, which will form consistently with the latest updates. That means icebergs, oceans full of life, updated villages, and BEES! Wonderful, adorable, beloved bees! (Seriously this is so much better than the Forestry mod. They’re SO. CUTE.)

But why explore to the far reaches of just one world? With the help of our Multiverse plugin, you can discover a whole network of portals leading to different worlds... if you can find it!

Along with the updates come new threats to our world--chiefly, illagers! With the 1.14 village update, pillager patrols have begun to spawn around the world. We’ll need your help to defend the villages in the canyon that our home is named for!

More technically speaking: With the re-addition of the Multiverse plugin and the server’s memory upgrade, we’ve essentially future-proofed our server. As new updates arrive, more portals will open in the network, giving players direct access to the new content, which they can then bring back home whenever they like. Explore as far as you want, as much as you want, in any world--nothing will ever be truly outdated, not anymore.

Now, a more personal update: My best friends--the four moderators of our server, our Order of the Stone--will be joining me on an adventure to one of the worlds in the network--a brand new, freshly-generated 1.15 world. We’ll be starting our adventure in the morning (Saturday, May 30th), and once we leave, the way to the portal network will be open! Players should feel free at that point to try following us to the network, if you can! The portal to our old interim Update Aquatic world is open, and so will be the portal to the new world--but beware! The exit portal from the 1.15 world won’t activate until the mods and I come home in a few weeks, so if you follow us there, you could be stuck for a while.

An update on the mods’ journey in the new world! First pic: the view from our treehouse a couple weeks ago. (We’ve been fancying up the walls between our weekly adventures.) After that we conquered an ocean monument, but I was dumb and forgot to take pictures, and today we cleared a woodland mansion! One of the mods, my sister, was thinking of turning it into a Wayne Manor type deal, but Blu, who has an innate and visceral hatred of just, like, buildings I guess? And anything that slightly inconveniences us, like guardians, and illagers, lit a fire before we realized and it spread fast. And then, well, the others joined in, and long story short I think we destroyed a good half of a dark oak forest biome. We might have to reevaluate who we think our group’s griefer is!

In the time we’ve been here, more people have joined us for events!
