1.13.2 update is now Live!
The 1.13.2 update has been completed and is now live on the server. It was originaly planed to release some time this week, however I had time today to do the update. So here it is!
With this update comes many major and minor changes.
All plugins are now built for some variant of 1.13 or seem to be compatible with 1.13.2.
However there was no public test server for this update an there may be more bugs the usual with this update. If you spot a bug, please report it on the forums, Discord, or by mailing Daniel_return with /mail Daniel_return <message>.
End Reset & Changes The end has been Reset. If you had any builds or items you did not remove before this update, they are gone. The end has been regenerated. This includes new End Cities with Shulkers.
With the new Shulker Respawn plugin shulkers will be more abundant then ever before. Shulkers will respawn 14 days after they have been killed, in the same location that they were killed in.
The only structure that will be kept from the end is the End Grinder. For those who have homes at the end grinder, please remove them. The end grinder will not be in the same place as it was before.
Tab Complete Issues/Bugs
With 1.13.2 command suggestion now pop up when typing in a command. Many commands on Astria will not display the proper command suggestion pop up and will instead suggest the players name. I would like to remind everyone that if you need help with a command consult the command help or ask a staff member or another player.
I will be dealing with this issue after the update and it will hopefully be fixed within a few weeks.
World Boarder Expansion
With this update the world boarder will be expanded by 1500 Blocks. This will be further expanded with the 1.14.x update.
Repair Command Changes
/Repair has been changed in a fundamental way. When repairing with money or experience you now specify how much durability you want repaired on the held item, instead of specifying how much you want to pay.
Other Changes & Information
Astria Resource Pack: The Astria Resource Pack will be updated. When you join the server you will be asked to download this resource pack.
I would like to remind everyone that this Resource Pack does not overwrite any textures except for the Golden Hoe and is only used for Custom Item Textures.
Potion Combinding: Combinding of Potions will still be disabled as the major bug associated with it has not yet been fixed. However there is a change with Wither Star Fragments with this update. More information will be included with the updates news post.
Custom Enchantment API: There will be some changes with the Custom Enchantment API and the enchantments that I implement with it. This may cause existing custom enchantments to break.
Chest Shops may break due to 1.13's id changes. I have a plugin that is used to support old item ID's however some shops may still break. If any of your shops break, remaking the shop with the new Item ID's should fix the issue.
Furthermore the plugin that grants compatibility with the old Item ID system will be removed in the future, but I have no ETA when this removal will occur.
Change Log

All other plugins have been updated to there latest compatible versions or have been replaced or removed.

Other Bug Fixes
Spelling Error Fixes
1.14 Update Information The 1.14 update will occur once a stable server is released by the Spigot team, and of course all plugins used are compatible with 1.14.
Currently vanilla 1.14.x has major issues and bugs. Due to this it may be some time before Astria is updated to 1.14. When it is updated it will be some 1.14.x version. I will be watching Minecraft's and Spigots respective Bug trackers as well as occasionally testing 1.14.x to know when a stable enough version is released for production use.
Along with the 1.14 update I will be expanding the world border by 3000 (or more) blocks.
