Changelog
The following are the most important features/modifications implemented toward this season's map and functions.
Server Version! Server's version to 1.19
The new Survival server will be updated to the latest stable version of Minecraft, 1.19, with this new upcoming reset.
We have worked hard to ensure that everything is polished and optimized for this version, including updating all of our plugins and improving performance. We are confident that you will have a seamless and enjoyable experience on the Survival server with Minecraft 1.19.
With this update, you will be able to access all of the new blocks, mobs, and features that have been added to the game. This update introduces brand-new swamps and mangrove trees, as well as adorable frogs for you to discover. We hope you enjoy exploring everything that Minecraft 1.19 has to offer!
Important! Server Synchronization
We recognize that the latest season of Survival has had its share of issues, and many of these issues were caused by issues with data synchronization across the different Survival worlds. We are committed to improving the stability and performance of the Survival server, and we apologize for any inconvenience that these issues may have caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues and provide a better experience for all players.
What is this synchronization?PikaNetwork operates its Survival worlds on individual servers that are designed to appear as a single, unified server with different worlds. While it may seem like all players and worlds are connected and interacting together, in reality, each world is run on a separate server. This is made possible through the use of plugins and systems that seamlessly connect the servers and allow players to experience a cohesive and immersive Survival experience.
What went wrong last season?During the last season of Survival, we encountered some significant issues with the server synchronization, including problems with data saving and player log-in. These issues affected the overall experience of all players on the Survival server, and we apologize for any inconvenience that they may have caused.
For this season, we have taken the time to carefully address and fix all of the issues related to server synchronization. We hope that these improvements will provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all players on the Survival server. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to improve the server.
We have made major improvements!To summarize, the new structure will allow us to better track and manage the server and its plugins, reducing the risk of failure. This means that when you log in or move between Survival worlds, your data will be tracked and confirmed before you are sent to the appropriate server. This should provide a smoother and more seamless experience for players, and we are thrilled to be able to offer this improvement.
What does this mean for you?This improvement to the server synchronization should resolve issues with freezing upon logging in and being kicked due to syncing failures. If something goes wrong, you will receive a notification instead of being disconnected, and you will be able to try again later. The data saving and loading process should also no longer impact your gameplay on the Survival server.
New! Spawn
Welcome to the new Survival spawn, matey! As you set sail on this adventure, you'll find that we've given the spawn a swashbuckling pirate theme.
So hoist the mainsail and set your course for adventure, because this pirate-themed Survival spawn is sure to shiver your timbers!
A new spawn with a new pirate theme Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
Supply drops can be found all around the warzone, this season with more drops at once.
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
New! Pets
We are excited to introduce the new feature of pets in Survival! After fixing issues with pet spawning, we have added 7 new adorable and loyal companions for players to choose from.
From cuddly cats and playful puppies to exotic parrots and majestic wolves, there is a pet for every player's style and preference. Not only do these pets provide companionship and entertainment, but they also have unique abilities and traits that can help you on your survival journey.
How to obtain a Pet?These pets can be obtained from the Zoo Keeper at spawn, this NPC will be available on the weekends to sell 3 random eggs every weekend. But make sure to be there on time with enough money, experience & special items, as the Zoo Keeper has a limited stock, and each pet has its own price to pay.

New! TagsTags are a fun way to customize your chat experience and stand out from the crowd.
With the new reset, we are introducing a variety of brand-new tags that allow you to show off your style and personality in chat.
Collect every tag.You can earn tags by purchasing them in the /goldshop, or by getting a few of them available in-game.
If you are planning to become even more fancy make sure to check out the new /tags.
Different tiers per tag.In order to have valuable collectibles you need to know which tag has what rarity, so we divided the tags into 6 different tiers.
Tags come in 6 different tiers: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Seasonal & Special.
The seasonal tags are only obtainable during the current season, after this season you will no longer be able to collect them.
The special tags are given to players for helping us out by reporting bugs, posting suggestions, and overall making Survival a more enjoyable gamemode.
New! Mail Delivery
Do you ever want to send items to your friends or surprise them with a gift? If so, you'll be happy to know that we are introducing a Delivery System that allows you to safely send packages to your friends, even if they are offline. With this feature, you can easily share items and show your appreciation for your friends in Survival.
Send a package with easeTo make a delivery simply type /maildelivery <player name>, and an inventory will pop up where you can drop your items, the delivery man will make sure all these items come in 1 small package to the person you are sending them to. Close the inventory when you are done sending the items or click the Cancel button to cancel.
To pick up deliveries, type /deliveries, or visit the Delivery Man at spawn, he will take care of all your incoming packages until you have claimed them.
Sort by categoryYou can show all deliveries, deliveries sent by the server, and deliveries sent by players, giving you a better overview.
Expiry timerAll deliveries within your mail delivery will expire after 7 days. This makes the mail delivery system not a system to easily store unlimited items but makes it as we intended it to be.
Updated! ClansThe Survival reset will bring a number of changes to the Clan system. Clans are an important part of the Survival server, and we want to ensure that they remain a fun and enjoyable aspect of the game for all players. To that end, we have examined the current state of clans and made necessary changes to improve the overall clan experience.
New clan levelsAs part of the Survival reset, we have rebalanced and changed the clan levels to make them more valuable and worth your time to unlock. The prices for obtaining each level have been adjusted to fit the survival game mode better, and we have added a number of new levels, up to a total of 28. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for you and your clan to progress and gain additional slots, warps, and clan vault rows.
New clan missionsIn addition to the changes to the clan levels, we have also added a variety of new missions to the system. While the existing missions will remain the same, these new missions will offer more variety and challenges for clans to tackle.
You can now have up to 6 missions active per clan at any given time. Along with the new missions, we have also adjusted the rewards for each mission and made it possible to unlock additional mission slots through the Clan Perks system.
New clan perksNot only will you be able to unlock more missions, but you will also be able to upgrade many more things with the new clan perks, some of these new perks are the following:
| Extra Clan Vaults | Effect: Night Vision | Extra Clan Vaults | Effect: Night Vision |
| Effect: Strength | Effect: Luck | Effect: Resistance | Effect: Water Breathing |
The effects of some clan perks are disabled within the PvP arena at spawn.
Updated! GravestonesEver lost your items while you died in our Survival gamemode? With these gravestones, you can still have that disk, duh, but you will no longer have the risk to lose your items!
The gravestones have received a complete overhaul and are as good as new!
A safe place that holds your itemsOnce you die a gravestone will spawn on the exact location where you died, this gravestone is a chest holding all of the items you had on you while you died.
This gravestone has an expiry timer, once the timer has run off your gravestone will be accessible to anyone, as the timer is counting the gravestone is protected for you.
The clock is ticking!The gravestone menu you can open using /gravestones shows all your active gravestones and their exact locations. Are you unable to make it in time? No worries! You can also extend the timer of your gravestones on this menu for a small price that you have to pay! This way your items will always be safe with you, dead and alive!
Updated! Player LevelsAre you tired of completing the same old tasks on the Survival server? If so, you'll be happy to know that we have completely revamped the player levels tasks and added a variety of new and unique challenges for everyone to enjoy. These new tasks will offer a fresh and exciting gameplay experience, and we can't wait for you to uncover them for yourselves.
Brand new rewards!In addition to the new tasks, we have also introduced brand-new level rewards to reward your progress. You can also purchase the Premium Pass Voucher from our gold shop or web store for even more exclusive rewards.
With these changes, we aim to challenge the Survival community with the hardest tasks a true challenger can tackle, while still ensuring that the gameplay is fun and enjoyable. The new player levels will require a lot of effort and determination to reach the top, but we believe that the reward of completing them is well worth it. Good luck with the new 100 levels!
Updated! LeaderboardsIn a competitive environment, statistics are an important way to measure your progress and achievements. That's why we want to give players the opportunity to showcase their accomplishments and stand out in style.
At the same time, we understand the importance of being able to track your own progression and see where you stand on the leaderboards. With that in mind, we are doing a complete revamp of the leaderboards to make it easier for players to see their own progress and work towards higher ranks.
Updated! Black Market and Travel Merchant
The traveler merchant and the black market are returning, and they have made some significant changes to their prices. Many of the items on offer have had their prices updated, and there are also new items available for purchase.
Be on the lookout for these new and rare items, as they could potentially change the game in your favor. It's up to you to discover what these new items are and how they can benefit you on your survival journey. Happy shopping!
Updated! Player HomesTo improve organization and clarity, we are revamping the way you interact with your player homes.
We noticed that it could be confusing to keep track of which home was located in which world, so we are now labeling each home with the corresponding world.
This will make it easier for you to navigate and know which home is located in which world.
Updated! Player WarpsLast season we introduced the player warps, but we felt like it is lacking a lot of player customization, and accessibility. That is why we gave the player warps a complete overhaul on our brand-new Survival reset.
Fast TravelAll warp names are now unique, allowing the use of a new command /playerwarp <warpname> to instantly tp without opening the menu.
Likes and DislikesYou enjoyed a shop someone had at a player warp, or do you think the structure they built is really nice? Consider leaving a like for their warp. This way players know which player warps are good and bad, based on their likes and dislikes!
Advertise your warpsWant people to visit your warp? Advertise it to make it stand out! Advertising your player warp will cost $10,000 per week. When a player warp is created, the first week will be free. When the week is over, the warp will not be deleted but hidden from the public. You can purchase another week by going to your my player warps menu.
