2024 TNTable SMP Map Reset

Following the release of Minecraft 1.21, we are resetting the server map! Read on to see a summary of the new things in Minecraft, and to find out all the changes coming to the TNTable server.

Well hello there, fancy seeing you here. Did you come to read about the new SMP map, and all the new things coming to Minecraft? I have good news for you then!

This is going to be a longer post with lots of information so buckle up. We're going to cover the changes coming to the server, and what to expect from the new world. I'm also going to cover some of the changes that Minecraft has introduced since the last reset to refresh everyone's memory and hopefully inspire some goals to work towards.

Server Changes

There is lots going on here so I wil break it down as best I can in this list:

• Homes, Spawn, Back and TPA commmands are moving to plugins for greater stability and efficiency.
• Gravestones is moving to a plugin. Gravestones will now break after 5 minutes and then items will have another 5 minutes before de-spawning.
  • With the /back command after dying I think this is more than enough time to gather your things.
• All the vanilla tweaks datapacks that were in are still in, except for those being replaced by plugins.
• The world will be pre-rendered in a 5000 block radius and viewable online before the server launch.
• Adding new structures from the Dungeons and Taverns datapack, the first 1500 blocks radius around spawn will be rendered without the datapack, then it will be added.
  • This datapack adds a wide selection of new enchantments as well. Be sure to check out the link for more details.

We might also try and introduce a weekly.bi-weekly/monthly/whenever there is time newsletter about the happenings on the server.

Minecraft Changes

1.21 - Tricky Trials

This one is a big one and the most recent, plus the reason we are resetting the server map. The biggest thing is the introduction of Trial Chambers. They provide a new challenge to players looking for loot and an adventure with some challenge. I have summarized a few more notable changes below too.

• More copper uses (doors, trapdoors, chiseled copper)
• More tuff uses (walls, chiseled)
• Crafter - automated crafting finally
• Trial Chambers
  • Trial Spawners
  • Trial Vaults - needs trial keys or ominous keys to unlock
  • Regular chamber is without the ominous effect, but ominous effect will get you better loot for a harder challenge
  • Need to get Ominous bottles from illagers
• New weapon: Mace - from trial chamber, epic rarity
• 3 new music disks
• 20 new paintings
• New enchantments
• Bogged & Breeze mobs
• Wind charges - can be used as projectiles or to launch yourself upward
  • Made from breeze rods

1.20.5 - Armoured Paws

• Armadillos
• Wolf armour
• Variations of wolves

1.20 - Trails & Tales

I know we have been playing on 1.20 for a while now but there are some features I think are worth highlighting again to make use of on the new server.

• Calibrated skulk sensors
• Chiseled Bookshelves
• Hanging Sign
• Archeology materials (suspicious sang, gravel, brushes, pottery)
• Camels!
• Sniffers
• Trail ruins

Final Notes

Here are the last of the notes that aren't long enough to be their own post but are important still.

Hardcore & Creative Servers

The creative server will get reset as well. Nothing really new there.

The hardcore server will also be reset later in the year, and I have fun plans for that to make it even more challenging. Stay tuned.

Server Hardware

The server is still largely running the same hardware it was when I first built it. I have added two more hard drives. None of this really affects the TNTable servers.

The one notable change that is nice is that the server is now located with me in Toronto, so that makes upgrading easier. The other benefit is full symmetrical gigabit fibre internet. This means a faster and more reliable connection to the server. Though, the server moved two years ago now so this isn't new. I just haven't made any post about it yet.

TNTable Wiki

I also want to highlight the wiki, it is a great resource for information, and I would love to record server events that happen there. There is a contribution guide to get you started, and templates that are easy to use to create your own project or pet pages.

That is all for now, can't wait to see everyone on the server this coming Wednesday.
