I will forever miss this. While I never garnered lots of attention from this site, I still had a lot of creations posted here.

o Boss tweaks are nearly complete (obstacle)

o QoL changes are being added
o Advancements, Mob Drops, Dialogue, Sounds, and Mini-bosses are in the works!
I hope that testing will start soon once we finish the tweaks

Update 16: 4/12/20
Whoops, I missed the date on this one by a few days, sorry about that!
The map is a bit more alive, in fact, we have actually completed a lot more than we realized. All that is left are the super major complicated things which might take a while but since we are stuck at home, we might as well finish it up!
As for the alternate means, we might not have too if things continue smoothly!
Estimated Release: TBA
o The map is now 80% complete
o All custom cave particles have been added
o Any other general particle balancing has been done
o Mobs naturally spawning has been implemented, yet to be fully tested
o Recipes are now fully done (needed to be reworked)
o Veteran mode has been fully completed
o Mob drop book has been fully completed (needed to be reworked)
o Credits have been completed
o Cave concepts have been fully implemented
o Map effects have been added (balance control)
o Bosses have been completed, yet to be fully tested
o Cutscenes continue development
o The texture pack is nearly complete
o Skip travel is nearly complete

Totally didn't wait for exactly one month later to release the next update.
However, this is not the normal update, I am here to inform you about the current status of the map. Before I start, I will say, that this map IS NOT COMPLETELY DEAD. We are still working on it, but unfortunately, production is extremely stagnant at the moment due to reasons out of our control. I will not go into detail but command-experts of the team have been quite busy or unable to work on the project that often. We are looking for alternatives and other means to complete the project without sacrificing quality. As a result of this, we don't know when the map is going to be released, we will ensure that it will come out asap. Thank you, we apologize for all of this...
Estimated Release: TBA

A good amount of progress was made, many of the smaller things we're focused on this time around. The bigger tasks are still being worked on. However, there is an issue that has arisen; 1.16. When we release the map, we would like it to be updated in the latest version of Minecraft, however, with the first snapshot just now going out some changes might need to be made and the release will have to be pushed (in addition to us not even being done with commands yet). Our main goal is to have the map added to realms, meaning it has to be in the latest version. We want the map to remain on the platform for as long as possible as well. Luckily, from what we are aware, the command API does not change all too much which is a good sign. In the end, this map started in 1.13, it might release in 1.16!
Our plan: We will continue to work on the map and release it in whatever the latest version of Minecraft is. Once 1.16 is released, we will do our best to update the map to 1.16 as soon as we can. If the command API is mostly the same, only minor changes will have to be done, meaning that update development won't take too long. We still want to get this out to everyone after over a year of waiting!
Estimated Release: March is most likely
o Map has been ported to 1.15+
o Loot tables and custom recipes have been fixed (yes fixed) and continued work
o Cutscenes have continued development
o Remodels were worked on
o Texture pack updates were work on
o Nearly all bosses are completed
o Custom death messages have been implemented
o Balance control was touched upon
o QoL changes were implemented

Update #13: 1/13/20
Alright, we have made a TON of progress since the last update. We took full advantage of the winter break and got pretty far!

Update #7: 7/27/19
We almost lose two months of progress. We were/are in the process of switching servers again and we realized all our backups were duds, so we spent hours trying to recover the world. In the end, we did! To continue, we have had no server, (Our host has been gone for a week and we have no information as to why but hopefully we will know soon), as such we are now using Aternos again. We tried to avoid using Aternos due to how much trouble it has caused us in the past. However, we will treat this as a temporary solution and I myself will try to get a hold of my own server which will hopefully negate problems like these in the future! Now onto the normal changelog
o Almost lost two months of progress but luckily did not
o The project has been inactive for about a week due to not having a server
o Planned what buffs the player will receive from the gear system
o One of our members has worked on some designs for mobs/bosses
o Cleaned up loose pack errors
