The Nether Star
Some people may have seen a nether star pop up or vanish from their inventory recently. This is due to the GadgetsMenu plugin we are planning to implement for cosmetics. The nether star showing up was a result of a misconfiguration, so apologies for that!

Changes to the server
There have been a lot of recent changes to the server, however these are the most noteworthy players. (Those of you who play AoD regularly will likely have already noticed these however):
- Can now win in Mob - most maps will have a max wave
- Added new shop items, such as potions, xp bottles and enchanted books. Alll mob maps should also have an anvil
- When joining a FFA game late, you will have fewer lives than the maximum so make it more fair (will always join with at least 1 life)
- Added leaderboards to infection
- Added item descriptions to each item in TNT
- Confusion bows now do less damage, and only give potion effects when it is a direct hit
- Added the ability for the juggernaut chance to be changed
- Added an option to change which blocks are broken by explosions
- Added an option to enable or disable block drops from explosions (only valid if the block can be broken by the above setting)
Thank you to everyone who has been helping on AoD these past few weeks - the server player count has picked up and remained high, and it is for sure helped by the effort which you all put in. So thanks to both staff, helpers and players from me!
