Our first month is in the books! Here's every change from the Discord #changelog in one place. Where something was adjusted more than once, you'll find the final numbers.

The Big Ones

• Prestige is here. Five permanent tiers above the rank ladder, earned with money, coins and mob kills. Prestiging never resets your rank, claims or progress. Perks stack as you climb: the Prestige Shop and Kit, up to 25% off the Spawner Shop, coloured and gradient item names in an anvil, keep XP on death, +10 minion slots, and repairing Mending gear by hand. The Prestige+ Shop is now open too. Type /prestige to see where you stand.
• Wings really fly. Cosmetic wings now let you glide while wearing a full set of armour.
• Reporting is private. Only staff ever see reports, and you're never named to the player you reported. Use /report <player> <reason> in game, or open a Report a Player ticket on Discord when you have screenshots or clips.

Store

• New ways to pay: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay (no PayPal account needed), plus Bitcoin and Ethereum. These cover one-time purchases; subscriptions still use PayPal.
• Account & VPN packages simplified from fourteen products to four: VPN Whitelist + 1, 2, 3 or 4 pairs of accounts ($4.99 / $7.99 / $9.99 / $11.99). A pair is one extra Java and one extra Bedrock account. One payment, permanent, and upgrading only costs the difference. Link your accounts with /alts link.
• Crate key packages were repackaged for better value.
• Patrons now receive 1,250 Coins per month.

Donor Perks

• All donor ranks skip the teleport cooldown.
• All donor ranks get 5 claim flags.
• Each rank has its own /glow colour: Vex gray, Phantom blue, Blaze gold, Golem white, Warden dark blue.

Economy & Spawners

• The spawner shop was rebalanced. Returns now scale up the tiers, from chickens (slowest) to iron golems (fastest), and mob drop prices were updated to match.
• Weekly spawner limits in /shop spawners: Tier 1 is 25,000 physical / 50,000 virtual, Tier 2 is 12,500 / 25,000, and Tier 3 is 5,000 / 10,000.
• Spawner stacks hold up to 5,000, with up to 16 stacks per chunk.
• Mobs killed per killing blow raised from 1,000 to 2,500.
• Sell prices in the mobs and farming shops were halved to slow the economy down.
• Chicken stacks lay one egg per cycle.
• Collectors: the Speed upgrade became Sweep (how many items are picked up per kill cycle, starting at 250; the rest drop to the ground). Fully upgrading now costs $750 million, and added players can use a collector's contents.
• Minions are cheaper: Miner and Lumberjack 500, Feeder, Seller and Slayer 1,000.
• Chunk anchors no longer disappear, and every tier is 60 to 70% cheaper: Small runs from 100 Coins (1 day) to 700 (14 days), Large from 300 (1 day) to 1,125 (5 days).
• Pet prices and AFK zone rewards were adjusted.

Crates

• Epic Crate: the Mending chance rose from 1.5% to 5%, and Epic Crate armour and tools no longer come with Mending.
• Crate armour protection was lowered by one level. If you collected sets before the change, you've got levels that can no longer be obtained!

️ Voting

• Two new vote sites: TopG and Best Minecraft Servers. MC Server List moved to MCCommunity, and every link is already updated.
• Every vote pays 5 Coins, 1 Vote Key, $25,000, 50 claim blocks and 5 minutes of fly. Find them all with /vote or at acediamc.com/vote.

Gameplay

• Kits are now /kit <kit> instead of /kit claim <kit>, and /kit starter includes a fishing rod.
• Bosses no longer catch fire. The Skeletal Knight and Skeleton King were retired.
• Golden Plushies around spawn mark the easter egg signs: each one means one or two signs are close by.
• New trivia questions in the chat games, and no more "first caught" messages for common and uncommon fish.

Fixes

• The End works again: mining, building and chests are all back.
• Bedrock 26.50 players can join without crashing.
• The pinata at /warp pinata no longer teleports into the walls.
• Several performance fixes.

Coming up in October
The Spooky Set is live for the whole month. See the announcement.
