Hey Gamers,

Over the next few days, we will be reconfiguring some of our networks. Although we could technically complete this maintenance without restricting players, it would take a lot more time and would cause much more disruption as we would have to update stats whilst being careful not to corrupt any files.

This maintenance should release some cool things so we look forward to releasing them.

Also just whilst we're on the subject of updates, if you would like to help test new features to ensure there is no bugs, glitches or errors, you can sign up to be a beta tester at https://techcraftmc.com/testing

Thanks :)

P.S; We added 1.17 support, but I forgot to mention it here. If you want to receive announcements that I don't forget to post, join our Discord :)

Hey Gamers!

This is just a quick announcement to say that TechCraft now supports all client versions ranging from 1.8.x - 1.16.x. Obviously, as always, this is brand new and may contain some bugs. Our development team doesn't have enough time to test every feature on every client version, so we would appreciate if you reported any bugs to us via https://techcraftmc.com/bugs.

Thanks!

WOW that's a lot of words

Hey everyone,

Apologies that this changelog is fairly late, I have waited for a short while to ensure there are no large bugs that had not been discovered.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the lifespan of the server by logging in, suggesting new features, helping us test updates, reporting bugs, and much more! We really appreciate all of your support and feedback, and we hope you enjoy this update!

On behalf of all of the TechCraft staff team, happy new year!
