LilacMC
∎ Hi there! It's been a while since we have published a major update and we're so happy to reveal one of the things we've been working on in the past few months.
∎ Jobs and the economy in general is a big part of LilacMC. And in the past year, we cannot deny that there are some jobs that are better than the others. There are jobs that pay and level faster than others. This is what we wanted to address with this Jobs Overhaul Update. We wanted to make the jobs more balanced than ever as well as include a ton of Quality of Life updates to make grinding jobs feel more fun.
∎ Listed below are the major changes we have worked/changed for this update:
Increasing the Maximum Level from 50 to 70!
∎ We wanted to make levelling at later levels feel a lot easier and this is the main reason why we had to increase the max level of the jobs. As shown in the image above, the new system looks a lot less steeper and more smoother compared to the old system. It is now faster to level from one level to the next with this new levelling system!
With the new system, reaching level 70 is about 30% harder than reaching level 50 in the old system. We wanted to do this reward those who grind the best at the top level, and to make the top slots of each jobs more competitive than ever.
With this conversion, your level and EXP will be adjusted accordingly. Those who are in the 'lower' levels will see a decrease in their levels, while those in the 'endgame' will see their levels to increase by few.
Bringing back the 'AFK Jobs' to LilacMC (in a way)
∎ Just few weeks back, we have pushed a certain change that the majority of people didn't like. We have limited the 'AFK Jobs' to only pay if you are within 350 blocks of furnace/smokers/brewing stands. This was an attempt to fix a certain issue regarding balancing.
What we did not realize is that AFK Jobs are a major part of the server. There are a lot of people who do not want to 'actively play' because of reasons such as some of them just love to watch movies while playing, or cook in real life while they cook in-game. Or some of them want to grind in other worlds while asking their friends, "Can you AFK near my cooking setup, please?!". We want to know that we have heard everyone's voices and we will be removing this distance limitation.
We have worked with another developer to come up with a new system that will be a lot better compared to the previous one we have pushed to the server. This new system will remove the distance limitation we have previously set and will now only check if you are AFK. This means that if the server has flagged you as 'AFK' (if you have the red X on the player tab), you will not get any jobs money/exp from your furnaces/smokers/brewing stands. With the new system, you will now be required to move at least once every 10 minutes (instead of having to stay within 350 blocks radius of the cooking/brewing blocks).
We have also made it so that the 'AFK Jobs' are more balanced compared to the other jobs that require constant interaction. Jobs that require constant interactions will pay a bit better compared to the cooking/brewing jobs. This is so we can reward those who play actively, but at the same time make the current server cooks/brewers a lot happier after the last update.
