August 6th, 2022 - 12:00 EDT / 16:00 UTC Click the link above for a countdown! Click the "read full post" button in the bottom-right to read the whole announcement PokeXplore is updating to Minecraft 1.16.5 with a full reset, so join us on a new adventure! Minecraft Version Update Obviously one of the biggest changes from this update that Minecraft itself is updated. That means we get access to new Ocean and Nether content, along with lots of new blocks! No Empty Loot Chests Have you ever gone searching for chest loot on an older server only to find out that most of the chests are already looted? On PokeXplore, all loot chests have items for all players, meaning that no matter when you find one, you're never too late to loot! Click for GIF demonstration Unique Starter Choices When you join PokeXplore, you'll be presented with a random selection of 24 starters - this selection is unique to you! And don't worry, if you prefer the original starters, those are still an option too. Community Involvement We love receiving suggestions and feedback! This will be extremely important in the near future... Since Pixelmon is in Beta, and many developers haven't updated their plugins yet, most new features will be made in-house by myself and the rest of staff. Your feedback will let us know what to prioritize next! There are so many ideas we want to add ASAP, whenever plugins get updated or we manage to implement them ourselves. Below are just a few such ideas: Custom Texture Pokemon We're adding custom textures to PokeXplore! Check out this awesome OC drawn by our very own mudkipqueen, and brought to life as a Pokemon texture by Aurora_Helgis! Mathematical Auras There are benefits to being the only server owner who understands trigonometry :^) Look forward to the return of spectacular Auras, once the plugin is updated. Click for GIF demonstration Sacrifice Yourself..? A player suggestion turned into a fan-favorite feature; create a petition to change the weather. Once enough people agree, the weather changes.. but one of you must pay the price by being thrown into the volcano... the Sacrifice mechanic will be back, with more ways to appeal to the Legendary Pokemon that embody the forces of nature. Returning Players If you're a returning player with questions about what's happening to your data, see this post for more info.

Legacy Server For now, you can access the old map by connecting to the "Legacy Server". This server is no longer receiving updates, but you can visit it if you'd like to take screenshots of your builds, prepare Pokemon for transfer (more on that in a moment), or just for nostalgia purposes. Legacy server IP: legacy.pokexplore.com Minecraft Version: 1.12.2 Pixelmon Version: 8.4.2 What is being kept from the old world? Almost everything has been reset, but you will keep your Playtime, your Playtime Rank, and any claimblocks that were "accrued" from that playtime (this does not include claimblocks obtained from crates, etc). Limited Pokemon Transfers You will not have access to Pokemon from the previous map right away. One month after the update, we will transfer one box of Pokemon from the old map to the new one. Please note that this could take longer than one month, if Pixelmon makes any more drastic changes during its Beta. Put all the Pokemon you want to transfer in PC Box 1 on the Legacy Server. The transferred Pokemon will be made un-breedable, un-tradeable, and won't count towards your dex. However, they will get a special ribbon indicating they've been transferred. The transferred Pokemon are meant to be keepsakes from the previous map, not to help you immediately get back to where you were in the Pokedex. Enjoy your fresh start! Paid Perks I will do my best to restore any paid perks to players who purchased them at any time before the reset. Please have patience with this process, as many plugins have not yet been updated to Minecraft 1.16.5 / Pixelmon 9.0.X, so certain perks may not yet be available. You may message me on Discord (Flarkinater#3789) if you want a status update on your paid perks, if you think you're missing something that could already be restored, or if you want to receive store credit instead of waiting for a plugin to update.

The main PokeXplore server (play.pokexplore.com) is temporarily closed while we update to 1.16.5. Our previous map is still open on our Legacy server; Server IP: legacy.pokexplore.com Minecraft version: 1.12.2 Pixelmon version: 8.4.2 This website will be updated with more details as we get closer to releasing the update.
