☀ Skylands Overhaul Project ☀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Over the last few years Cubeville has been through a lot of changes and updates. We've jumped from 1.12 to 1.18 in the space of a year, started a new map with all new builds and updated various elements like event islands separately over the years. Pretty much every part of Cubeville has been renovated or rebuilt with one exception... Skylands. Well we are happy to announce that that is about to change, 2022 is going to be the year where Skylands finally gets the love it deserves, with a complete overhaul of builds and systems. Obviously this is going to be a big project, and we would love your input, so read on to find out more!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Skylands spawn is still a fantastic build - it was just designed when there were far fewer things to fit into it...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀How does the overhaul work?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The main process is relatively simple; everything from the current skylands will go through a redesign and rebuild process before being added to the new Skylands server. There will then be new games and arenas added, a new game prize system worked out, new plugins written to automate games without manual hosting, and many other changes to bring our skylands into the modern era. Once everything is ready we will announce a skylands relaunch date and everything will be swapped over to the new setup. The plan is for this to happen before the start of the Summer Games, but obviously there is a lot of work involved in this project so we're not promising any dates at the moment. We won't be able to fix a launch date until pretty near the end, so please don't keep asking.
This project is going to require a lot of work from the entire staff team so we have set it as one of our main objectives for 2022, along with the final push to launch the new quest world this year. Whilst we will still be doing the usual events like Spring, Halloween and Winter Islands, they will not be brand new, rather minor updates to existing islands. Hopefully you all understand that with two huge projects lined up for this year, we can't put as much focus into those events as we have in previous years.

Floaty Feather is still a fun game, but the arena isn't very representative of all the nether has to offer these days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀How can I help?
What we need from you all is your thoughts, opinions and criticisms of the current skylands - what do you like, what would you change, what would you like to see added? We have some visions for how things might work but we're not the only ones that will play there, so we definitely want input from everyone before we start.
It would be great if you could copy/paste the following template into a response in this thread and fill it in with your thoughts. We will collate responses as we go and they will be fed into the project plan. Updates will be posted periodically throughout the project and there may be further opportunities for input as we go.
