Our Blog Got a Tech Upgrade

· One min read

Hey all! We’ve completely rebuilt our website with Docusaurus. While the design looks familiar, everything behind the scenes is now more powerful (and easier for us to maintain!).

What’s Changed for You

Faster loading
Better mobile experience
Built-in dark mode (try the toggle!)
Easier to browse content

Why We Made the Switch

Previously, every page was hand-coded in HTML/CSS, which meant:

  • Adding new content required manual formatting
  • Consistency was hard to maintain
  • Simple updates took more time than they should

Now with Docusaurus and Markdown:

  • We write posts in simple text files (no more HTML!)
  • All styling stays consistent automatically

Upcoming Features

  • Proper tools to find your claims & homes.
  • Image gallery
  • More?

Goodbye TreasureIsland Minecraft

· 2 min read

It's time to say goodbye... TreasureIsland will be shutting down on the 25th of May 2022.

Hey everyone, it's been a wild ride. I (sarhatabaot) joined TreasureIsland in 2013, a year after the server first opened. I've made many memories and met a lot of amazing people.

I want to thanks everyone who has been a part of this amazing community. And everyone who has helped along the way.

I want to thank the one and only: OldScurvyDog, for creating this amazing server and running it for the last 7 years. (+3 behind the scenes)

I'd like to thank our crew members:

Butterfly01_nl, Maintizer, Donna_M, bperrin, Mr_Pearl, TheGuyWithPie25, Zwiing, CNTGS, Blue_Moon93

Special thanks to:

But what about the worlds?

The worlds will be available to download for 6 months after the shutdown. A snapshot was taken today on 16th of April.

And the website?

The website will stay up for as long as we can. I'm unsure about the state of enjin but we have the best plan right now. We have already made a backup of the galleries & the forums images - Can't backup the posts 😦 We will be creating a backup website (just in case). That will store the galleries pictures and additional information about the server.

And Discord?

The discord server will remain open forever. You may notice some changes in the way it's structured, channels moving, new channels. A memes channel (probably). As we move to a server focused on everything not just Minecraft. You can post any pictures/screenshots you have from the server in the #ti-memories channel.
