Welcome to Deimos
— These release notes are for a version of AMP that has not yet been released —
We’re really excited to bring AMP 2.7, the first major codename update in over a year. This update is packed with huge new features that we’ve worked hard on for a long time to make AMP an even more indispensable part of your day-to-day game server management.
Plugin & Mods (and more!) Store
Screenshot to follow
The Store is a brand new plugin that will make it easier than ever to install, manage and update third party content for your server. Regardless of where it actually comes from, AMP provides you with a friendly and consistent interface across different sources.
It’s even aware of different game versions and mod loaders to make sure you’re getting the appropriate content for your game.
Stores available as part of the initial 2.7 release are:
- Modrinth
- Paper Hangar
- SpiGet (Mostly for legacy reasons)
- AMP Themes Store
We’re also working on support for CurseForge and Steam Workshop in the near future.
Switching from Docker to Podman
We’ve made the (challenging!) decision to switch away from Docker and pivot towards using Podman for game server isolation and containerisation.
For users this is a painless change that won’t affect any of your existing game servers within AMP. A huge amount of testing has gone into this to ensure continuity through a platform change.
Other Changes
- The “Set as startup Jar” option in the Minecraft module now refreshes the list of acceptable jars for a more seamless experience when you’ve recently uploaded/added a new jar file.
- Fixed the “Update this instance” button on Windows.
- Fixed an issue where (Neo-)Forge instances could crash on startup if the startup mode was set to start automatically and the server was slow fetching version data.
- Changed how certain console event handlers work to allow the same line of source input to match multiple handlers if necessary.
- Updated sources to fetch updates for Paper and Velocity.
- Improved API performance.
- Added Minecraft schedule triggers for Goals and Challenges.
- Scheduler is now capable of correctly handling default values for task parameters, which prevents future schedule breakages when new parameters are added to existing tasks (so long as a default value is present)
