-Mt.Blizzard

Lapis Lazuli was added to make enchants possible before the Walls fall on these maps: 
-Village 
-Garden

The kits were completely redone. There are now 14 kits and the changes are here: 
-Builder gives 32 oak logs.
-Miner gives an Iron pickaxe with efficiency 1.
-Engineer gives 32 redstone, 8 tnt, and 4 sticky pistons.
-Heavy gives a chainmail chestplate, and chainmail boots.

A map testing list has been created, and it includes maps made by the community, and builders/mapdevs. Map testing events will be held semi-regularly.
The new rotation update schedule has not been finalized, but it may range from weekly to bi-weekly, or something entirely different.

Thank you for reading.

Halcyon was getting a bit stale, as it had been in the rotations for a very long time.

Halcyon is a pretty good map. People enjoy it as Eric said. Instead of putting other bad maps some OG maps can be added back to the rots (rendezvous/quintus with diamonds/ternio etc)
