MCDrugs 2021 Reset

Major Gameplay Changes

  • Server is now on version 1.16.5.
    • All diamond items, including crate items, can be upgraded to Netherite without item data being lost.
    • Illagers and illager raids are disabled.
  • View distance (the number of chunks that load and tick around the player) is now dynamic and depends on the world’s TPS. Consistently high TPS will increase the view distance. View distance is displayed on the sideboard below TPS. If you are having trouble connecting to the server or you’re getting very high ping when loading chunks, reduce your render distance.

MCDrugs Wiki

  • With the new map, we are also launching the MCDrugs Wiki. The wiki will be an official, centralized source for information on MCDrugs, most importantly tutorial information for new players, and useful tips & tricks.
  • The /wiki <topic> command can be used in-game to quickly get the link to specific wiki pages.
  • The wiki will be placing the in-game tutorial. The Getting Started page has a lot of useful information for new players, and can be easily accessed in-game with /tutorial.
  • The wiki is very much still a work-in-progress. Transferring as much information from multiple sources onto the wiki is a large undertaking, and help is always appreciated. If any players are seriously interested in contributing by writing or editing wiki pages, speak to Dakotaa.

Drugs

  • Drug prices have been overhauled. Price balances will be more frequent and avoid the overall decline in prices that was seen on the last map.
  • Added two new drug combinations:
    • Xanax, made from beetroot and melon seeds.
    • Mescaline, made from brown mushrooms, red mushrooms, and cactus.
  • Various changes to drug combinations ingredients.
    • Ayahuasca recipe replaced, now requires mushrooms and melon seeds.
    • Sugar component in fentanyl replaced with pumpkin seeds.
    • Sugar component in MDMA replaced with carrots.
    • Chorus fruit component in krokodil replaced with potatoes.
    • Bonemeal component in lean replaced with pumpkin seeds.
  • Drug Lab clarity and consistency improvements.
    • Every drug combination recipe now creates one stack. Some combination ratios had to be adjusted to make this work, most notably with all joint recipes, but prices have been adjusted accordingly.
    • Crafted drug combination items now show the correct ratios in the lore (i.e. how many of each ingredient it takes to make one piece, rather than an entire stack).
  • Increased the number of each drug seed in /kit drugs from 8 to 32.
  • Added more information to the /drugnames GUI menu, including which world each drug grows fastest in.
  • There is now a GUI menu for /formulalist. The old-style text list can be accessed with /formulalisttext.

Prestige and Mastery

  • There is now a cost to prestige past first prestige.
    • The first prestige is free, subsequent prestiges have increasing prices.
    • This change increases the total price to reach Drug Lord to $241,235,000, roughly $100,000,000 more than the previous map.
    • Likewise, a prestige cost has been added for police prestiges.
  • Museum Busts are now automatic, bust updates as the player prestiges.
    • Museum busts have been removed from the Prestige Crate.
    • A bust is now awarded upon reaching first prestige. This will assign the next available bust in the museum to the player. Each player now has a maximum of two busts in the museum (one for drug prestiges, one for police prestiges)
    • Upon prestige further, this bust will be updated with the player’s new prestige.
  • Added Prestige Signatures, names on Prestige and Mastery Crate items are now randomly selected when the item is unboxed.
    • Prestige Crate and Mastery Crate item lores (“Forged by …” and “Crafted by …”) are now dynamic.
    • Each time an item is unboxed from these crates, the name in the item lore is chosen randomly from the names of all prestiged or Drug Lord players.
    • Every time a player prestiges, their name is added again to the list of Prestige Signature names - the names of higher prestiged players are more likely to be drawn and applied to items.
    • The Prestige Signature of an item can be re-rolled, and a new randomly selected name is applied, by using a Prestige Signature Changer. These can be purchased from the store.
  • Drug Lord and Operator tags are now selected through a GUI menu.
  • Prestige and Mastery Crate adjustments.
    • Mastery Crate items are now netherite.
    • Mastery Crate tools are now Fortune III.
    • Prestige Crate armour changed from a full set to four separate pieces.
    • Super Golden Apples removed from Prestige Crate.

    • When applied, clears all current debuffs, and provides immunity to debuffs for four minutes.
    • Splash potion can be made by further brewing with a gold nugget.
  • Removed cooldown for regular golden apples.
  • Added Duels, challenge players to a duel with /duel <name> while in the Spawn building.
    • 1v1 duels using pre-made kits, items are not lost.
    • To duel another player, use /duel <name> <wager>. The wager is an optional money wager on the duel.
    • Item wagers can also be placed once the duel request is accepted, and works similar to trading.
    • Players can select the kit they want to use when sending a duel request, and also select the arena, or have a random arena be chosen.

Factions

  • Faction land ownership enabled - allows giving permissions to specific members in each chunk.
  • Genbuckets of non-falling blocks can now be used to “patch” walls (will continue to generate through blocks of the same type, filling in holes)
  • Factions chat now works properly, does not send messages to global chat.

Our Plan for This Map

We've made a lot of changes with this reset, and while most are minor, some will have major impacts on gameplay. We'll be watching closely to see how everything works out. There's a ton more that we want to add to MCDrugs, but as the entire staff team has responsibilities outside of the server, time was limited. We'll be working to release new content and features consistently throughout the summer.

The MCDrugs 2021-2022 Roadmap

To give players an idea of what's coming up, we'll be launching the MCDrugs 2021-2022 Roadmap. This page will include some information about what we're currently working on, and what is being planned.

What about The Pit?

You may notice that The Pit is not (yet) available on the new map. Our focus has been on the main worlds and gameplay of MCDrugs, and even though we've had months to prepare, we just didn't have time to get to The Pit before we were satisfied with the main worlds. The Pit has barely seen any changes since the 2019-2020 map, and we're not happy launching the new map with The Pit being the exact same as it has for the past two years. So, we're going to take the first few weeks to make sure that everything is running smoothly on the main worlds, and then we're going to make some big changes to The Pit. The plan is to have The Pit open again by late June.
