All of the following features and bug fixes are thanks to the amazing community suggestions and reports.
New Features
Quest NPCs
Throughout Town Hall, Quest NPCs have been added.
These Quest NPCs give the player challenging and entertaining adventures to level up their Elemental Abilities. Just approach an NPC and left-click to talk to them! These quests give substantially more XP and money than traditional quests and help you unlock new elemental abilities.
New Power Tab in the Elemental Menu
A new Power Tab has been added in the Elemental Menu to make binding your unlocked powers easier!
From this menu, you can select the power to bind, save presets, load presets, and clear your bound powers.
- Find this tab by going into the Elemental Menu (Through the inventory item or /elemental) and clicking on the Amethyst Shard.
Trading
Trading has been added to trade Items, XP, claim blocks, and money with other players safely.
To start trading, shift-click a player to send them a trade request. Alternatively, you can click on the Trading button in the Elemental Menu
Crates
Two new crates have been added to the Elemental SMP: Daily Crate and Super Crate.
Each player gets a daily crate every 24 hours, while Super Crates can only be obtained through quests or the store.
Players can punch the crate to inspect the potential prizes and chances of winning.
Warps
A warp tab has been added to the Elemental Menu to make traversing to common places easier and faster.
Currently, there are two warps available: Town Hall and Admin Shops, with more to come.
Admin Shops
A house in Town Hall has been turned into a big shop for all of the essentials a player might need. You can find this shop through the warp tab in the Elemental Menu.
This shop sells a variety of items, from wood to slime balls. Although the prices are high to encourage player shops.
Helpers & NPCs
New Helper NPCs have been added throughout the server. Players can interact with them to answer frequently asked questions.
Additionally, new NPCs such as the RTP and Quests NPC make accessing server features easier and clearer.
Player Particles
Player particles have been added as a rank feature for supporters. They come in a variety of presets, with more to be added in the future.
General Improvements
Upgraded server hardware
The Elemental SMP servers have been upgraded in CPU cores and RAM to support a large amount of players and a smoother experience.
Elemental Menu Book
Players now spawn with a book titled Elemental Menu. This book is used to access the Elemental Menu quickly instead of having to run /elemental.
Players can move this item around in their inventory if they do not desire to have it in their hotbar, however it cannot be removed from their inventory.
Elemental Confirm
Confirming your element selection now requires double-verifying to reduce players wanting to change elements.
Players cannot change elements once they choose.

Added a back button in every Elemental tab GUI for ease of navigation.

Updated and fixed the elemental storefront.
