Just a quick note for all, JR is currently under redevelopment and we are coding some cool features.

We understand our website looks a little plain but don't worry, this is only temporary. I've had a few messages in relation to this and I thought it'd be great to quickly outline our plan.

The plan is as follows:

Continue development of our new servers area (in alpha dev) and improve on our rewards and ranking system.


When this development (which is happening pretty rapidly) is near to completion we will be looking at a redesign of the look and feel of JR.


Within this new look and feel we are trying to make it more simple to navigate and understand what we do.




We will be giving updates on this entire process as we go through it and will be looking for some public testers to help find and resolve bugs. Please join our discord for more consistent and further updates https://discord.jrnetwork.net/ 

We will be adding more news on the site about this new development when we have a lot to talk about, all small updates will be announced on the discord.

 

Hi All,

Our servers are currently upgrading the maps to 1.18.2. We are very sorry for the delay, this will be quicker next time.

All plugins have also been updated.

Hi Guys,

We have restarted development of our website and custom server monitoring / ranks and rewards system. We are currently in the process of redesigning the look of our website, what you see is currently temporary and the aesthetic will change soon.

This is integral to our gaming servers and provides us with a lot of flexibility in terms of rewarding users, advising you of server information and server issues.

One major addition to this system has been a way that admins can put a game server into maintenance mode for users to know that we are working on the server instead of just seeing the server down.

We are happy to announce that our we are expanding the Ark Cluster to include 4 additional maps, we have been working hard to bring these servers to you. Please keep in mind that we are still in our beta testing stage for the cluster, any and all feedback is welcome. During the course of the beta test please expect changes to be made rapidly based upon player feedback, the goal here is to make a balanced and consistent experience. We will be carrying the maps over from the beta test into the full release of the server, so play as much as you want!

New maps

The new maps we have added as follows:

Extinction


Lost Island


Genesis 2


Crystal Isles




Mod Changes

With the introduction of Genesis 2 to the cluster we have removed the Cross-Genesis 2 mod from the cluster.

Connection details:

To find the connection details for the servers please head on over to our servers list!

Feedback and Ideas

If you have any feedback or ideas on how we can improve or change the server you can do so via our new ideas section of the website available here: 

https://jrnetwork.net/ideas/submit/?do=submit&category=2&_new=1

The new ideas section allows you to submit and vote on ideas that you believe would be beneficial to the game servers. We will also be updating the status of any ideas so that you can see where they are in our implementation pipeline. 

We are happy to announce that our brand-new Ark Cluster is now open for beta testing, we have been working hard to bring these servers to you. The idea behind this beta test is to find any issues that might remain in the server setup, we are open to feedback from everyone.

We have been working on recent updates to plugins to ensure JR is working correctly and better than ever.

Today and yesterday I have done the following:

Updated community bridge to get ranks to sync - credit to @TeOzFrAnK (Thanks mate)


Updated Xconomy


Updated Dynmap


Installed a plugin to reset the end on every server restart


Updated to latest version of Paper


Added a new TabList, I must play with this so be warned it's not complete.


Fixed issue with random teleportation plugin /rtp

We have updated JRCraft to the latest Java Minecraft 1.18.1, Please note the software is in beta, we do have saving every 5 minutes so in the event of a crash the map should be safe.

Please join us at: play.jrcraft.net:25565

 

After a big absence welcome back JR ARK !



ARK: Survival Evolved is a survival game with dinosaurs.



Going to join us?



 





New server and map as of this post, please bear with us as we tweak the server to improve it for all.





IP is: r2d2.jrnetwork.net:27015



 





Mod list for our ARK server chosen by our admin Emma ! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/...



 





Need help? Join us here and ask in our community forum here: https://jrnetwork.net/forums/



Need urgent help? Discord us at https://discord.jrnetwork.net

Due to the recent spam we have disabled normal users to create invite links on JR, If you want a friend to join JR Discord please get them to go to https://discord.jrnetwork.net

While they are required to sign up to the JR website this will stop a lot of this silly advertising DM spam we are getting. 

We recommend not doing this back to the server in question that is causing this spam, we just want the spam to stop and NOT to cause a war between communities.

Also don't forget we are still here, While our website is not as active our Discord is always busy. I watch the website on a daily basis if an issue comes up but if you want a quicker response our Discord chat may get you a community member quicker.

 

Enjoy your gaming, Game On!

 

JR has started to host Valheim servers for our members. So far our main Valheim server has been rather popular, due to the small size of the servers we will be setting up a few more for our community.

Sorry it's been nearly a week without an update.

I have done the following this morning thanks to suggestions from users:

Updated Jobs


Updated DailyRewards System


Updated Economy Plugin


You can now buy claim blocks. Each block will cost 20 JRCash (minecraft)


Bag of gold is not used anymore for killing mobs, you instantly get money in to your account.


Installed marriage plugin. You can now marry players in game


Installed feelings plugin, /feelings


Updated TAB List with changes


Removed Rank from tab list as it wasn't working


Updated PaperSpigot


Updated Waterfall




If you have any suggestions please suggest them here http://suggest.jrnetwork.net/

We once started working on Quests years ago, but this never surfaced. Contrary to that we now have started working on quests which you can find around spawn. Only a few are setup due to testing, but it's something we are working on.

Test out quests by starting at /spawn ! 

In the last few days the following updates have taken place:

Updated Spigot and Waterfall


Installed Quests, Quests GUI


Changed the way mob's are leveling, they now become harder as you leave spawn.


Updated additional plugins we use.




 

New Features:

You can now revive players by holding shift when they get damaged


Bees, Bees, Bees - Right click a bee and a GUI will show with new information and abilities ! 


Friends system. Do you have a friend? Then add him using /friends 


Mobs now have levels. Gone are your basic mobs! BEWARE they can be dangerous!




 

Fixed the following issues:

Chat not functioning correctly, we have switched from MultiChat to VentureChat due to our server setup


Fixed issue with messaging, you can now PM other players as normal


MobHealth not showing correctly.


Fixed broken things within the mob arena


Changed mob arena classes slightly


Moved friends head in the inventory area 9 so you can manage your friends.


Disabled mobrewards message while playing in mobarena spamming you saying you cant get mob rewards in mobarena


Changed chat colors to white for normal global chat

Guess what! We have just re-released mob arena. A big shout out to The original Collessum creator (its an old JR build) Bluemoonredsun and Nerve for helping to pull this off.

Take a look at /warp mobarena to play  

Mob arena is back!


Spawn work was undertaken today


You can now switch off PVP if you do not want to fight with the community (PVP is off by default to switch it on do /pvp) PVP will automatically switch on when you enter duel arenas. Please note there is a cooldown, if you switch on PVP you will need to wait 60 seconds to switch it off, this is to prevent misuse of the command.


Red nametags now show you who has PVP on


Updated Placeholder API

Big update today guys, hope you enjoy it please see the following update log:

Just a quick update!

The following was done today

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one today. I have done the following to hopefully improve server performance:

JR has had Minecraft for a long time and it's needed some love. We are focused on survival and to bring you the best experience possible. If you haven't joined us before join us at: play.jrcraft.net using the java build of minecraft ❤️ 

Due to the continued success of our MVM TF2 server we have setup a second server so more players can get in on the action.


While looking at stats I can see that nearly every day the server becomes full. I have also noticed on the logs that during these times people attempt to join the servers while full.

As of this article and posting the server 2 minutes ago, the new server is nearly full already:


 

Hopefully this helps! You can see all our servers at https://servers.jrnetwork.net/ If we see more demand for TF2 we will boot up more servers.

 

 

A few updates have been happening as you may have seen recently.

I'll run through them quickly so you are aware of everything that has happened:

New look: This was supposed to be released some time this year after I had finished development, due to issues with our forum on our old theme I had no choice but to switch to the new look. This new look is still under construction so be aware things may change or be buggy during this time.


Mobile: If you noticed mobile was messing around and looked terrible this has been resolved now.


Server list: We have removed unused servers on our server list during our tidy up. This also required a reset of player stats. Next time this happens we will not have to reset player stats but unfortunately due to a bug on our servers list / app this was required.


Clans: We have changed clubs to become clans. This allows you to create a group / community within our JR community, you can create a blog / news feed / a community discussion / gallery and more. Soon there will be support for paid for clans where community members can purchase a membership to keep your clan running smoothly. Check it out here: https://jrnetwork.net/clubs/


Dev updates on website: These update logs will be posted when ever I get a chance and are public. You can find dev updates on the dev blog listed here: 


Minecraft updates: I have just enabled dynmap found here: http://quigon.jrnetwork.net:1888/ This is to showcase our communitys progress on the minecraft server. More updates will happen soon to minecraft, we have not forgotten one of our many roots.




 

There will be more information soon, including new prizes, events and more servers. We are JR, we are still standing, we will game on together.

Due to the quick change of theme, (as we were having multiple issues with the old theme been out of date and not compatiable with new code) we have had multiple bug reports submitted with our mobile site.

We have finally got complete discord integration on JR.

I haven't posted much in this blog in recent time. But now due to many changes around JR I feel we must.

Currently I have been focusing on the way we work, read here for more info.
