Server Progress​

This is a development update for the official HorizonsMC modded server.
We’re actively working on features and fixes on our internal dev server and will migrate to the main server once stable.

Full release is not live yet — but we’re getting close!

Latest Changes​

• Fixed several custom command issues
• Added Sophisticated Backpacks (Unofficial Fabric Port)
• Added Sophisticated Storage (Unofficial Fabric Port)
• Introduced Storage Drawers for modular item management

Known Issues​

Some bugs are still present while we await upstream fixes or finalize internal solutions:

• Chat Tags Broken
  • `<item>` and `<hand>` tags don’t work on rainbow-tier gear
  • Cause: Chat mod is outdated for our version
  • No patch available at this time
• Plushie Item Bugs
  • Extra lore lines appear (investigating)
  • Picking up plushies drops an item frame (investigating)
• Create: Train Issues
  • Lights on trains/contraptions not illuminating correctly
  • A known crash involving train schedules
  • Confirmed to be a wider issue in the Fabric Create community

Notices & Future Plans​

• We plan to upgrade to Create Fabric 6 once released — this will:
  • Overhaul the current Train system
  • Resolve several light and schedule issues
  • Introduce exciting new features and quality-of-life improvements
• We're developing a custom Discord Link Mod:
  • Allows users to link their Discord to Minecraft
  • Unlocks in-game perks for Discord Server Boosters
  • Will support:
    • Minecraft Fabric Mod
    • Paper Plugin
    • Velocity Proxy Plugin
  • It’s a big project — but worth the wait!

Dev Insight​

_“While building the train tracks, I realized the server was missing a key piece. So I pivoted temporarily to begin building our long-planned Discord Linking system. It's far from done — building it across Fabric, Paper, and Proxy layers is no small feat — but it’ll give HorizonsMC a serious boost in community integration once complete.”_

We're making steady progress toward an incredible modded survival experience.
Thank you for your patience and support — we're building something special.
