 * Some Tools are working: The Magic Paintbrush, Dooplicator, and Data Scroll. The rest are still not up.
 * The server has updated to 1.2.4, so all mods are broken again :(
 * The texture has had another big update to accomadate all the new blocks.
 * Tools are STILL BROKEN.
 * The VoxelBox has updated, so the VoxelModPack works again. For some reason, a few VoxelPlugins are still broken, most notably the Tools.
 * It's almost spring break, so hopefully I'll have more time to work on everything.
 * Halcyon has been updated to the new world!
 * The server updated to 1.2, but a lot of things are broken.
 * Halcyon is being reworked so that it will have higher, more realistic landscaping utilizing the new 256 block height in 1.2. It will be uploaded when the server updates to 1.2.
 * Sorry for the lack of updates last month, I've been busy.
 * Halitus has had a lot of work done on it, and the city center's exterior is almost all done.
 * Tools and the Texture Pack have both been updated, and it is now possible to have survival games in [ KEIF ].
 * Eguestria is almost completely done, with only the interior of the right wave-building and the sails on the Mareflower left to do.
 * [ KEIF ] has had a lot of work done, mostly on the ambitious Individual Sports wing.
 * The wing will house themed parkour, original games, themed hide-and-seek arenas, and more! The goal is to have an immersive environment rather than a bunch of arenas clearly built to house a certain gametype.
 * Clantags have been reformatted.
 * New Youtube series is scheduled to start at some point, to attract builders and keep better track of what has been done.
 * New Google Map-style map of Halcyon has been rendered.
 * Permissions overhaul, rank color reformatting, etc.
 * [ KEIF ] is looking spiffy!

 * [ KEIF ] 's spawn is getting close to being complete, and games will soon come!
 * The Mareflower's new hull is complete, and huge.
 * Eguestria's spawn is pretty much finished, though details will be added in later.
 * We had our first griefer! He destroyed part of the Mareflower, which going to be demolished and redone later anyways. Eguestria now has a backup, though, so if it is griefed, the only result will be the banning of the undesireable person that did it.
 * He was also the first player to get banned. (His username was deadlysoupspoon, and he sucked at building if anyone cares.)
 * Ponyville is back in Halcyon!
 * The Texture Pack got some minor updates (and some medium sized updates as well).
 * Halcyon is being terraformed to include the major rivers and land features it needs.

 * Halcyon has been fully generated and is ready to be populated.
 * Working on Eguestria's spawn area
 * Name/Clantags reformatted.
 * Finished the spawn area for first-time users.
 * Changing the layout of the server into the two world format, Halcyon and Vestal. Remaking Halcyon because of some issues with the last generation being sideways and too small, and generating Vestal to edit. Hopefully, everything will be done by next week.
 * Regenerated Halcyon AGAIN, but this time it's actually complete, no Oceanating © necessary. All continents are laid out, complete with biomes and preliminary terraforming in certain areas. The rest can be done when we get to it.
