👻 Phantom Season is here

The veil is thin. Phantom Essence is gathering in the Soul Sand Valley, and a strange old woman wants every drop of it. Bring her enough and she will open the way into the Spirit World, where Phantom Pokémon wait and the spirits keep their treasures.

The haunted Phantom Arena is open, and the season has its own enchantment to find: Phantom's Touch. It turns up in the Spirit World's treasure, and once in a while in the Phantom Arena's spoils.

⏳ Phantom Season runs through the very end of November 30, closing at 11:59 PM Eastern. After that the veil closes and the spirits rest until they return.

This needs a modpack update. The server will not let the old one in. Update the pack in your launcher before you join.

⚔️ The Arena Tourney

Every Tuesday and Saturday, teams form at 5:30 PM Eastern with /arenatourney, and at 6:00 PM every team runs the same endless Arena. While Phantom Season lasts, the Tourney is fought in the Phantom Arena, and every team earns Phantom Essence for the waves it holds.

Every team is paid for how long they survive. The winners are crowned Arena Champs for a week. Win one to find out what that brings.

Every wave your team holds also earns Tourney Marks, and the top three teams earn extra. Start saving now: the Marks Shop (/marks) opens soon.

🏛️ The Prime Hall of Fame

We built the champions a home. The Prime Hall of Fame is a grand hall of legends, and its Hall of Champions belongs to the latest Tourney winners, standing on their pedestals beside the Pokémon they won with for everyone to see. Its other halls stand empty, for now.

✨ Also new

🌀 Anomalies have changed. Step through the next anomaly you find and see where it takes you.

🎯 Poké Balls hit what you see. A thrown ball now counts when it touches the Pokémon itself, so big and flying Pokémon are no longer a guessing game.

📣 World Boss warnings you can't miss. A minute before a World Boss tears in, everyone gets a big on-screen warning, a sound and a button to jump into the arena.

🌟 Evolution, reborn. Evolving and Mega Evolving have all-new animations and sounds. Go evolve something.

💖 Instant healing. Healing machines take your whole team at once and finish in two seconds, with a brand-new sound replacing the old "microwave ding".

🌿 Shape your Pasture. Owners can resize, reshape or hand-draw their field.

⚖️ Changes

• World Boss Global Attacks hit half as hard and come every 2 minutes (was every minute). A countdown under the boss bar shows when the next one lands.
• Boss Rush lasts 1 hour (was 30 minutes).
• World Boss levels: Rare 100, Pseudo 110, Legendary 120, Mythical 130.
• World Bosses no longer power themselves up with stat-raising moves.
• Burns, poison and trapping moves now count toward your World Boss damage.
• Arena Elites and Dreadborn pay $1,000 and $2,500 (were $10,000 and $25,000). The Reaches still pay the full amount.
• NPCs in land claims are protected. Only the claim's own members can hurt the villagers and NPCs inside it.
• Move effects fit the Pokémon. Big Pokémon and bosses get effects sized to their real bodies, and battles give them room.
• Shader shortcuts are off by default, so pressing R won't reload your shaders. You can still bind them in Controls.
• No more death waypoints. Your map no longer marks the spot where you died.
• Ground aura: the flashing box under your feet is gone.
• The backpack Inception Upgrade is gone. It could reset the contents of a backpack inside a backpack, so it has been removed, along with any already in backpacks, and backpacks no longer fit inside other backpacks. A backpack already inside another one stays right where it is, contents and all. Take it out whenever you like.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Ghost Elites and Dreadborn no longer blind you.
• Dark Matter only darkens the screen of a duel opponent now, never your teammates.
• Boss, Dynamax and Tera glows no longer turn white with shaders.
• Enchanted books from loot always carry a real enchantment now. Some were coming out blank.
• Arena mobs always come for you, even from the far side of the arena.
