Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post a few quick updates following yesterday's release. We definitely didn't expect so many of you to turn out and wanted to share a huge warm welcome to all of our new players who have just joined the server! We hope you enjoy your stay here

With that being said, there's a few things which we wanted to announce.

The form to apply is available here. However, be sure that you read all of our requirements first in order to...

The wait is finally over!

Hey everyone,

This is my first post! I'd like to thank each and everyone for the extremely warm messages, and I'm looking forward to the bright future which is ahead for SquishyCraft. Today, I'd like to start off my first announcement with a few forum updates.

Just to ensure everything is in tip-top condition, we will slowly be rolling out QoL ("Quality of Life") updates to the server. Today, we processed our first batch of these changes, by treating our forums with some juicy new features. I'd like to highlight some of these below.

New Homepage
Our homepage has been updated with a "CMS" type layout. Now, when you browse to squishycraft.com, you will be presented with all the latest news articles from our Announcements category. This is perfect for staying up-to-date with the latest!

Updated Categories
We have made an extensive amount of changes to the forum categories, including the following changes:

Hi everyone,

Appreciate the past day or two have been a bit of a whirlwind, so will do my best to explain what happened and what will be happening.

It’s no secret that over the past few months I have been unable to dedicate the time required to the server to run it properly, so earlier in the week I spoke to Callum and announced my intention of resigning. This presented two options: find someone new to take over management or close the server down altogether. Callum opted for the latter as he felt the server had run its course, however seeing the community outcry has fell back on this decision and will be keeping the server open, however under new management.

Jesse from Prodity is going to be taking over management effective immediately. Any questions, comments or concerns can be directed towards him. I’ve known Jesse on a personal level for years and can vouch for his honesty, hard work and expertise in the field. I’m confident that he’ll be a much better admin than I...

Hi guys,

This is just a quick post to let you guys know that next Monday (16th July) at 6:30PM GMT, we'll be taking the network down to conduct mandatory maintenance/upgrades on our backend infrastructure. This should take no more than a two hours.

The forums will stay online throughout the maintenance period, as will our Discord server. Updates will be posted on our server twitter - if you don't already follow us we highly recommend you do.

Thanks,
Thomas

Edit: Maintenance complete. Due to some underlying complications we will need to perform more maintenance in the near future, but I'll create a new post closer to the time.

Hi all,

When we reset the server earlier in the year we promised that we would reimburse players for items they purchased for servers which we removed (Factions/OP Prison). We are now ready to accept these reimbursement claims, and will be processing them throughout the next few days.

If you have a purchase which you are looking to be reimbursed for, please fill out the form that can be found here.

Thanks,
Thomas

Side note: We're starting to publish regular changelogs over in the #changelog channel on our Discord. If you're interested in finding out the changes we're making, make sure you join the server! The address is https://discord.squishycraft.com.

Hi all,

As you may have noticed we have been rather quiet recently - today’s post aims to hopefully clear up the reasoning behind this, as well as cover our general server plans for the foreseeable future.

For the past few months it’s no secret the server has been in somewhat of a ‘stale’ state - we’ve struggled to come up with new ideas or concepts that would entertain players & keep them playing on the network.

We’ve decided it’s time to put an end to this, which is why today I’m happy to announce a network wide reset! We will be branding this “SquishyCraft 2.0”.

SquishyCraft 2.0 is a complete revamp of the network, built from the ground up. All gamemodes will be reset and released at the same time later this month. Please note that anything purchased from our server store will be kept on these servers - this includes ranks, claim blocks, kits, etc.

The network will feature the following gamemodes:

• Survival
• Skyblock
• Creative

Each server will be packed...
