༺★༻Over the past week, we have been quite busy with the recent map update for Minesantos and several other bug fixes. Most of these fixes were too small for an announcement of their own so they will be posted together with this announcement along with several other things. Lets begin, shall we. The most obvious of the changes that we have pushed over the past week is the Minesantos map update. This map update was the single largest map update in GTM history offering a complete re haul several underdeveloped areas of the GTM map. These areas include the Highway warps, Trailerpark, Militarybase, Moria, Mountaintop, Bridge and much of the surrounding terrain! Don't worry Sanktburg (GTM4) players. We didn't forget about you . You guys are next. Shout out to @FredPlayzMC for making this awesome video for the players during the server maintenance. Both premium and non-premium houses in and around the effected areas also received a complete renovation. Renovating these houses without effecting player data was a serious technical challenge for both the Build Team and the staff members involved in the update. This update took a whopping 8 hours of non-stop work to complete over the countless hours spent by the build team to actually rebuild the effected areas. Needless to say, a big shout out to the senior team members involved with the update and as well as the Build team members. This project was a massive undertaking which could not have been accomplished with out the amazing cooperative efforts of countless staff and team members. The Grand Theft Minecart Community rules & guidelines also received a huge do-over. This rule update changed, added, and removed several rules in order to better accommodate our player needs and ensure a fair and fun game play experience for all players. In general, most of our rules have been reworded to be more clear and understandable for all players. Most notably, following the community input over our Discord, GTM has finally implemented the long promised rules against racism and/or discriminatory behavior allowing players to now be punished for disrespecting another race or religion. Other topics concerning this rules & guideline update include: - The use of special characters - Use of Public or shared Alts - Account sharing - Advertising - Much more! More more information we strongly encourage both new and old players to review these UPDATED COMMUNITY RULES AND GUIDELINES so they are update-to-date with server expectations. Shout out to @JustNassim and other senior staff for helping us tirelessly update these rules! We would also like to announce that GTM will now be regularly posting on all of our Social Media Accounts bi-weekly. We highly suggest our players to follow all of our social accounts to keep up with updates and announcements, and as well as exclusive access to giveaways, events, and much more. Certain giveaways and events will only be announced over once social media platform which is why we would like to emphasis that you are following all our platforms.

During this patch, GTM patched several major bugs. Details of these fixes are as follows: - Fixed a glitch where the server ban screen would not show after the initial ban (we surely hope you weren't among the ones effected by this bug ) - Patched several methods of mute evasion - Increased the maximum server render distance to 9 chunks (from 6 chunks) - Fixed an issue with the VOTING PAGES not properly loading. - Fixed issues with broken hub blocks - Fixed major bugs with 1.13+ version support (such as players getting kicked for "spam" and glitched block connections)
Sexy. Shoutout to the build team, SkylixMC, JustNassim, mixlogic, KwonShiYun, jjrocks2001, Flofin and LilFredNinja
