State of the Slab May 2021

Here's a recap of the staff team actions throughout the past month:

  • We introduced a new Staff Member, Chester, to provide an alternative means of contacting us for those that feel less comfortable messaging one of us directly. Chester has had a lot of modmail messages since joining the team, keep them coming!

  • We wrote a collection of documentation to increase our transparency around infrastructure, plugins, and staff processes.

  • We launched our new TerraFirmaCraft server, once more unto the breach of modded server headaches.

  • We added a 'Picture of the Month' functionality to Modbot, after it was raised in #suggestions

  • We made a couple of improvements to our dear Survival server:

  • We said goodbye to Frogperson, who decided to retire from the staff team.

    • We've deferred a number of our kanban tasks that were associated with Frog, though may revisit these again in the future.

  • We 'fridgified' the Resource World, after the community sacrificed any good naming convention in the name of... kitchen appliances.

  • We begun early discussions and preparations for our 1.17 update this summer - stay tuned for more information once Mojang announce an official date.
