Welcome to this month's edition of Dentril's New Moon. I'm your host, Mistri, and I'm so glad to have you!
You may or may not have noticed that we don't have a letter from the co-lead or a development corner this month — this is because Navarr is on temporary leave due to personal issues. We wish him the best and hope he's back soon!

Letter from the Co-Lead
by Navarr
We have just completed the first third of the 2nd quarter! Let's review our goal.
As you may or may not recall from the last letter, our goal this quarter is Community Interaction. I am pleased to say that with the return of the Annihilation sandbox, our staff has done an enormous job of increasing community interaction and fun events.
I actually went through the difficult work of tracking these events for you, and this month we had:
I mentioned in the last letter that there were two big pieces of our roadmap we're targeting for this quarter: 1.12.2 and a Gold Rush alpha. In that vein, I'm happy to announce that we now support Minecraft 1.12.2! In regards to Gold Rush, we may not be releasing an Alpha in the method we originally planned. We've been discussing it and we're not sure a limited alpha is the best way to get the sort of testing information we want. Your best bet for information on Gold Rush is to watch our Twitter account, here on the forums, and subscribe to our mailing list if you haven't already.
That is all I have to say this month. Please let us know how we're doing in regards to our Community Interaction goal in the comments, and how you think we're doing maintaining our improvements to transparency. I'm working hard to keep this ship sailing folks, and I need you to let me know if any leaks are popping up in the hull
Until next time - Thank you for flying Shotbow.
Hello! This is Mistri and welcome to this month's edition of Dentril's New Moon!

Network Updates
Quite a few things have happened to the network as a whole this month, including:
This month on the Discord, we cleaned up a few categories and the organization of our channels.
In addition, Chat Bot also got a new command called !forums. You can use it by doing one of the following:

Something is coming... but all we can say for now is that work is being continued on the Second Part of the Origins Update.

Developer Corner
By Navarr
DocCodeSharp
Doc has continued his work on MineZ and around the network in general. On the network side - we launched support for 1.12.2 this month which was in part a huge effort from Doc. Thanks! In particular news with MineZ, it was revealed that some pretty interesting work has gone into improving the combat system, with many early testers saying that they enjoy it a lot more than the currently live one. Doc has been working hard on this project for a while now, and he hopes to be able to get a public testing server up in the nearish future.
Robertthegoat
Robert has continued his work on Gold Rush, as well as effort being put into potential future games on the network. Such efforts are still a good ways away from realization, and unfortunately that's really all we can say about them due to that fact.
Jeroenhero
Jeroen spent a good portion of the month working with and exploring customization of Mob AI. Custom Mob AI has huge implications for possibilities in games such as Slaughter, Gold Rush, and When in Rogue - so efforts made here will have huge effects on our games for months to come.
Navarr
Navarr (myself!) worked on a few small improvements to the network as well, working with Doc to bring back Bug Submissions and moving the scheduled maintenance period to a less interrupting time period - and working with IvanDoomy to bring the ability to view recent activity and wiki history to all potential wiki editors.
Expanding Team
In addition to those reports, we've been talking with potential Jr. Developers. While nothing is 100% yet, I do know we have at least one good candidate we're hopeful to bring on in the next few weeks.
Are you interested in a volunteer development position at Shotbow? Contact DocCodeSharp (on Discord or the forums) with a development history (such as jobs or other projects) and an example of a Spigot plugin you've built. Our goal with the latter is to see how you code, what you know, and how you use that knowledge - so heavy use of the Spigot/Bukkit APIs is encouraged for such a sample.
With that, I bid you farewell. I'm your host, Mistri. Please let us know what you think about the New Moon in the comments. Thanks for flying Shotbow!

This month on the Discord, we cleaned up a few categories and the organization of our channels.

- Use it in a gamemode-specific channel to get a direct link to the gamemode specific forum
- Use it in any non-gamemode-specific channel to get a direct link to our general forums
- Use it with an optional argument (e.g. !forums anni) to get a gamemode-specific forum in any channel

Something is coming... but all we can say for now is that work is being continued on the Second Part of the Origins Update.
