Good day all. Life been crazy recently, but I've got time on this holiday to release a new promo. I am happy to announce the Labor Bundle. Bundles seem questionably useful? Well what if they were Soulbound to protect some random items in your inventory from death? Well that is exactly what I have slapped onto these bundles. The Labor Bundle is a normal Bundle plus the Soulbound item flag. And. That is about all I have to say about that. I do have it setup in the /shopworld for 50k each. This particular item is a limited-time release. It will stop being available probably about when we do something for Halloween near the end of October. It is something I could see releasing again next year with a different color variant. See the next reply for some more general updates. Hope everyone has a great holiday.
Update. I am not ready to give any major announcements - so not really an update?... But I am working diligently to put my IRL obligations in order - but also create some strategic planning for EMC going forward. Yes, I am aware of recent tech issues surrounding the EMC website. That is not something I have the ability to fix currently, but the impact to the usefulness of the website is known and acknowledged. I cannot promise that it won't get worse before it gets better. But I have hope that "better" will come someday. There are some broader overarching ... things, that I need to figure out. There is certainly a need to "lock in" and just knock out a couple of these looming tasks that has been crowding my mental space for months... Unfortunately, some of those looming tasks are also backend things that won't have an immediate public benefit. Staffing side of things. We still have a great staff team - just everyone has their own personal life madness going on. Not my place to share what individual people are tied up with. There is this weird tension on needing more people to help lead on the staff side. But the procedures and time to onboard new staff is... lacking. This topic is part of the before mentioned strategic planning. I know it sounds backwards, but I am not sure I can even take the offer of help right now because of this bottleneck. So yes, help is needed. But any offered small scale help is unhelpful. I don't have the time to assign others things to do. I have some concepts on how to fix this deadlock. But it has to be addressed in a particular order to maintain my sanity, lol. In better news. The state of the in-game code is good. Mojang is working on 1.21.9 - "The Copper Age". I am not aware of any major issues that are going to slow that update down. Other than whatever may be going on IRL at the time. I guarantee that we will not update as quickly as last time, unless it happens to release adjacent to a holiday. But they also try to avoid that so if it goes wrong they don't have to work the holiday.
Keep Calm and Minecraft On. Thanks for all of your hard work. And take care of yourself IRL. No amount of diamond blocks is worth your sanity. We support you and your efforts. And we'll be here ready when you are, to take on duties as needed.
actually… now having read the minecraft wiki page for bundles (pardon my noob-ness), these are actually legit. they in essence, basically, soulbound up to a stack (64) of anything. LEGIT
Yes to stack, the 64 is associated extremely hesitantly. As it very much depends on what those items stack size is.
Sounds like you need someone dedicated just for management/organization of the staff/task list. You do a lot of development and shouldn't also have to do all that as well. You may also need some better organization of the list/staff communication but that could be something to get this new member to help with. Suppose then you still need to find the time to find that person and get them up to speed. Wish I had more time myself.
Very awesome news chicken. I am back more now after strugles with microsoft login, seems they have issues but not clear what they are trying to fix....
