Patch Notes • 3.61
During the month break we took for posting patch notes, a lot has changed!
We're proud to announce that SchoolRP has now moved from 1.17 to 1.19.1, this means more blocks and animals available to us for roleplaying with. With this move to 1.19.1, we recommend all players to connect to SchoolRP using a 1.19 client (or above).
The long-awaited
In-Character Social Media platform known as 'ONRAIN' is once again available to ALL SchoolRP players. This version has been completely re-skinned and re-coded to work with our In-Game phone systems, meaning you can join group chats and text your friends in and outside of the game as well as post images and update your In-Character friends on what's going on in your character's life. We'll also be bringing the Auction house to ONRAIN at a later date as a 'Marketplace' feature.
We have introduced two additional developers to our development team which means more frequent and substantial updates to our systems and your experience on SchoolRP. Our latest projects that have been assigned are Attributes (and cooking), and Virtual Reality; you can expect to see these implemented in the coming 2-3 months. By next month, you can also expect the Exams plugin to be fully functional, this means we'll be hosting exams more frequently, giving you more chances to progress your characters through our College system.
A sprinkle of Christmas has been dropped upon Karakura as the seasons change In-Character from Autumn to Winter! You can find Santa Claus at spawn with Advent Calendar features, as well as gifts around the map to collect after the 12th of December to the 5th of January!
