Well, this is awkward. It's been 3 months since the last time I said anything, and that was for 1.15 - not a great track record I know. Just an FYI, this post is mainly about TK.
Either way, it's update time again, and this time it's for an update I'm actually really excited for. 1.16 is going to be a big update for us and many other servers, especially with the release of new weapons and armor, as well as the new Nether. That said, 1.16 isn't going to impact much of the actual overworld at all. For 1.16, there will be no overworld reset. The nether will be the only thing that does reset, so there's that!
So, what do I have planned for 1.16? Well quite a bit, here's some details:
Please note though, we're not going to be updating immediately and we're not going to rush things. This is going to be a slow burn of an update, as at least for TK it means a lot of new things being added. The whole network will support 1.16, but none of the new blocks will be available immediately. I expect that SS and Wytherin may get update to full 1.16 support faster than TK does.
In terms of frequency of updates and actual work happening on the server, it has been slow I know. The reason for this is because A) this isn't my full time job B) I'm a full time student and C) the other people working on the server with me are also busy. I haven't been pushing anything on the server super hard for a while now, and those are the reasons. However, as soon as the 1.16 builds for Spigot start to come out, I'll be putting up a development server for myself and the rest of the staff to use to get the server started on progress towards 1.16, and that will be fun.
I do sort of feel like I'm always making excuses as to why things aren't getting done on the network, and that's sorta a fair assessment. However, again this isn't my full time job and I have other responsibilities. I run this place for fun, I'm not expecting to make money off of it or anything. I just want to make an enjoyable experience for people to play on. I hope that's what will be accomplished in the 1.16 update.
Thanks for staying on board with us the whole time, I'm excited for what the future holds!
See you on the realms!

- Integrating 1.16 blocks into everything
- Dungeons for both the overworld and the nether
- New donator perks based on some new EULA information
- Rework of some Towny stuff
- The remote possibility of wars being added in
- Some stuff I have ideas about but don't want to guarantee
