Keeping the Lights On and Vanilla Getting Better: v1.4 & v1.5

v1.4 — Uptime Monitoring

A network is only as good as its reliability. In v1.4 we set up UptimeRobot to monitor every server around the clock, alerting staff immediately if anything goes down.

We also set ourselves a public goal: 99.5% uptime. That number has since been exceeded and continues to hold. You can check the current status for yourself any time:

We believe in being transparent about this — if something breaks, you should be able to see it.

v1.5 — Vanilla Gets Some Love

Vanilla survival received a couple of meaningful quality-of-life updates in v1.5:

• Chestlock removed — the plugin that locked chests was dropped. Towny's built-in protections handle this more naturally without the extra friction.
• Towny claim prices dramatically reduced — claiming land is now significantly cheaper, making it accessible much earlier in a playthrough instead of feeling like a late-game luxury.

Small changes, but they make the experience of settling in and building your town a lot smoother.
