Server Updates

Everything that has changed on MiningMaven SMP, newest first. MiningMaven opened in spring 2026. Questions about an update? Ask in our Discord.

  1. New enchantment: XP Telekinesis

    • Enchantment number 73: XP Telekinesis (Rare, from the Enchanter's Rare tier or the Enchantments Crate). The XP from blocks you mine goes straight to you instead of dropping as orbs, so nothing is lost while you fly, fall or mine over water or lava.
    • It collects Lucky Miner's bonus XP and the XP from blocks broken by Veinminer and Tunnel, and it repairs Mending gear just like picking up the orbs would.

  2. A Community Chest at spawn

    • There's now a Community Chest at spawn, right in front of the crates. Anyone can open it: take what you need, and leave what you can for other players.

  3. Glass Breaker covers more blocks, and townmates are trusted by default

    • Glass Breaker now also breaks sea lanterns, glowstone and redstone lamps instantly, not just glass and glass panes.
    • Auto-Trust Townmates is now ON for everyone, so members of your town can build and open chests on your claims. Want your claims to yourself? Turn it off in /claims settings.

  4. Bonus Tokens on the bigger packs

    • The bigger Token packs now include bonus Tokens at the same price: 2,100 Tokens for $20 (+100), 2,650 for $25 (+150), 4,950 for $45 (+450), 7,500 for $65 (+1,000) and 15,500 for $130 (+2,500).
    • Each rank-sized pack still buys its rank, now with Tokens left over. Everything Tokens buy can still be earned by playing.

  5. Vote page and home page tweaks from your suggestions

    • The vote sites are now numbered 1 to 12, with a matching Vote 1, Vote 2… button, so it's easy to see which one is next.
    • The Weekly Top Voter Rewards now sit at the top of the vote page.
    • The spawn tour on the home page scrolls at half the speed, and stops while you touch it on a phone.
    • Thanks to the player who sent these in through the Support page!

  6. Choose your Microsoft account when you sign in

    • Signing in to the website now always shows Microsoft's "Pick an account" screen, so if you have more than one Microsoft account you can choose the one you play Minecraft with. Before, it quietly used whichever account your browser was already signed into.

  7. New guide: land claims and towns

    • The new claims and towns guide explains how to protect your base: claiming chunks, how many claims every rank gets, trusting friends, banning griefers, and what a claim protects.
    • It also covers towns: roles, town spawn and chat, and the weekly Town Top race that pays every member of the top 3 towns.

  8. Your profile menu and purchase history

    • Signed in to the website? Your name now sits at the top right. Click it to switch between your Java and Bedrock player, or open your tickets, your wraps and your purchase history.
    • Purchase history shows everything you've bought from the store, for both your Java and Bedrock accounts, and whether it has been delivered.

  9. New Support page: tickets on the website

    • Need help? Open a ticket at miningmavensmp.com/support (or type /support in game) for bugs, missing purchases, lost items, griefing, scammers and appeals. You can follow its status and every reply there.
    • When we reply, we let you know with a Discord message if your account is linked, and by email if you give one. Closed tickets are deleted after 7 days.
    • Support tickets in Discord and the support email are retired. Everything now goes through the website.

  10. Grindstones keep curses

    • A grindstone no longer removes the server's custom curses (Drowned, Mediocrity, Fragility and Breaking). To remove one, use Cleanse at the Enchanter.

  11. New guide: all 72 custom enchantments

    • The new custom enchantments guide explains every one of the server's 72 custom enchantments: what each does at every level, which items it fits, and how to get, apply and remove the books.

  12. New website look, rewritten guides and a shop makeover

    • The home page now opens on a real view of the Arena, with a tour of spawn underneath built from screenshots of the server.
    • Every guide was rewritten from the server's own settings: real crate odds, quest rewards, prices, commands and KOTH rules. Guides now show their pictures and the date they were last updated.
    • New guide content: the Black Market (/bm), every crate and its odds, all 68 milestones and what each level pays, the whole economy, and how to get good gear fast.
    • The shop has new treasure-chest pictures for every Token pack, and the Wrap Marketplace now explains how buying and selling works.
    • The live map no longer traps your scroll wheel: click it to explore, or open it full screen.
    • The Weekly Top Voters board at spawn now correctly says the top 3 voters are paid each week.

  13. Leaderboards fixed and the store moves onto the website

    • The Playtime, Top Miners, Mob Hunters and PvP leaderboards now count every player. Before this fix they only counted players who were online.
    • The store now lives on this website. Your cart is always one click away and is remembered while you sign in.

  14. Spawn posters are back

    • All 21 picture posters at spawn are back up, corrected to match the current kits, crates, Black Market hours, claims and leaderboard prizes.

  15. Bedrock cross-play and Microsoft sign-in

    • Bedrock Edition players (phone, tablet, console and Windows) can now join the same world as Java players: play.miningmavensmp.com, port 19132.
    • Sign in to this website with your Microsoft account. One sign-in works for both your Java and Bedrock names.
    • Furnace daily quests (cooking and smelting) now count correctly.

  16. Minecraft 26.3 and twice the vote sites

    • The server now runs Minecraft 26.3.
    • Vote sites went from 6 to 12, so you can earn up to 12 Vote Keys a day.

  17. Safer crates and Token purchases

    • Crate prizes can no longer be lost: if you close the menu or log out during a spin, you still get your prize.
    • Every Token purchase in game now asks you to confirm first, and /crates has a Buy Keys button.
    • Spawn is always daytime again, and spawner unlocks are back to 100, 250 and 500 kills.

  18. New ranks and Tokens: no pay-to-win

    • Six ranks, from Sprout (free when you link your Discord) to Legend, are now bought in game with Tokens.
    • Tokens can be earned by playing: daily quests, KOTH wins, weekly leaderboards, milestones and crates. The store sells only Tokens.

  19. Minecraft 26.2

    • The server was updated to Minecraft 26.2.

  20. MiningMaven's own custom plugin goes live

    • The whole server moved onto one custom plugin built just for MiningMaven, replacing more than 30 off-the-shelf plugins.
    • It brought 72 custom enchantments, the crates, daily quests and milestones, Arena KOTH, the Black Market, player shops, towns and claims, flight and more.
