Hi everyone,

I wanted to give a quick update on guilds and Shibboleth. Because the server allows cracked accounts, anyone can join under a name that has no password or linked account. This has already been used to disband someone else's guild. Guild actions that can't easily be undone now need a protected login. A protected login means that you logged in from either a premium Mojang account or you have 2FA or a password setup.

Actions that now need a protected login

• Making another member the owner
• Promoting or demoting officers
• Kicking members
• Giving a guest build access, or extending a build guest
• Disbanding your guild
• Resetting your guild world

What this also means is that owners with a protected login can now disband their guild and reset their world themselves. You no longer need to ask a staff member.

Passwords are now supported
Shibboleth now supports passwords for every account. If you can't or don't want to link an account through Discord, Google, or another provider, we strongly recommend setting a password. Enter /shib link password and set it on the page that opens. You never type your password in chat.

For staff members, a password does not count as two factor authentication. Staff accounts must have a provider linked with /shib link, whether or not they also have a password.

What isn't changing
Everything else works the same on any account: creating a guild, inviting players, view-only guests, warps, spawn, time and weather, guild chat, and building.

How to protect your account
You have a protected login if any of these is true:

• You join with a paid Minecraft account.
• You set a password with /shib link password
• You link another account you use with /shib link <xenforo|google|discord>

After that, you sign in with it whenever you join on a cracked client, so nobody else can use your name.

Until you do, these actions show as gray buttons in the /guilds menu, and trying one tells you it's locked.

What this can't stop
If your name has no password or linked account, someone else can join under it first and set one themselves. There's no way for us to prove who owns an unprotected cracked name short of asking for ID, and we're not going to do that. Protect your name now, before someone else does.

If someone already used your account
Tell a staff member within 7 days. We recommend joining our Discord or posting on the forum to do so. Every guild action is logged by login session, so we can undo what was done to your guild, and we can roll back block damage in your guild world.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I am giving notice that in two weeks from today (October 18, 2026), I will be wiping all of the worlds. This is due to the completely different ways Oasis v2 and v3 write data. Trying to convert the data from v2 to v3 has proven to be near impossible due to the significant number of internal changes. While Oasis v3 does work, it has led to a significant number of edge cases to accumulate.

All worlds will be reset, minus guild worlds. We highly recommend saving schematics of any builds you would like to keep. Alternatively, you can copy the builds to your private guild world. Last time we did a reset, we had a new_flatlands as a cutover. However, we will not be doing a cutover and doing the reset much sooner due to guild worlds existing now. This should make it much easier to save and preserve builds, alongside schematics.

All of the server worlds will be put up for download on the world download page.

Thank you,
Telesphoreo

With TotalFreedom transitioning to an anarchy gamemode, there are several changes that will be taking place across several domains: staff structure, rules, changes to master builder, and the introduction of private worlds.

Rules​

This is, of course, the most important section: the rules. With anarchy, there will be no set, concrete rules. However, there are three things that players must follow that will ensure a safe, enjoyable experience.

1. Don't break U.S. Law
2. Don't break the Terms of Service of TotalFreedom's platforms (e.g., Discord).
3. Staff members reserve the right to ban anyone with or without cause. Anyone who may be negatively impacting the server experience or causing disruption in any way can and will be removed.

Staff Structure and Appointing Process​

With the transition to anarchy, the entire staff system is being changed. There will be no traditional application process: following a unanimous vote by server leadership, someone can be appointed to staff. Anarchy also requires a significantly smaller moderation team, so the entire staff will be capped at 10 total staff members.

And, unlike how it was in prior versions of TotalFreedom and current offshoots, staff confer no special privileges. There is no private adminworld, no admin-exclusive "joke/fun" commands, or anything that results in staff becoming a separate caste that is above the players. Being an admin is not a "gentleman's club," and they will be held to a high standard. Admins can and will be removed for inciting drama or "feeding the trolls". Admins will be expected to be professional in demanding situations. This does not mean you cannot have fun, but professionalism is a skill that is required when the job calls for it.

As for former staff, anyone who is a former staff member when the server ran a traditional "free-op" gamemode will be given a cosmetic "emeritus" role, but unless they are chosen to be staff by the leadership, the role will be cosmetic only and will also be given access to a special, private emeritus world as a thank-you for serving as staff on TotalFreedom in the past.

Private Worlds and Guilds​

Anarchy will bring a new benefit that many players will appreciate: private worlds. While we will maintain a logging plugin (Oasis), griefing will be tolerated. Thus, the use of guilds and private worlds will ensure players can have a safe, grief-free area to build in. The world size will be 500,000 x 500,000. It is subject to deletion and backups are not guaranteed.

Changes to Master Builder​

Lastly, the Master Builder title will be retained and will be expanded beyond just a simple title. There will continue to be a dedicated master builder world, and while details are currently limited, the program will be expanded upon. However, this is the place we recommend long-term builds stay as we intend to backup and preserve the master builder world.

Hey everyone,

We've migrated from CoreProtect to a new in-house solution called Oasis. This thread documents everything you need to know including why we're switching and the new command syntax.

Why

CoreProtect has historically served us for years. However, given TotalFreedom's chaotic environment, CoreProtect's performance was not cutting it. For example, one griefer put 78 million rows into the database, and it took nearly 40 minutes to roll these changes back. This was after I spent about six hours trying to make CoreProtect cope with large rollbacks. However, I was unsuccessful for many reasons and decided a brand new plugin built from the ground up was better. Oasis came out of a 24 hour+ coding marathon. It does the three things we care about: rollbacks that finish in seconds no matter how big the history is, minimal impact on server performance, and commands you do not need a cheat sheet for.

What came over

I ran the migration from CoreProtect to Oasis tonight. All of the data from CoreProtect came over with some caveats.

• Edits that were already rolled back in CoreProtect were left out. There were a lot of them, about two thirds of all block edits, which obviously tells you we handle a lot of griefers. They are not in lookups any more.
• Chest contents and sign text from the old data are not restorable. CoreProtect never stored them, so a rollback puts the block back but not what was in it. I am happy to say this won't be a problem going forward as items logged from tonight on will have their NBT and other data stored.
• Mob kills show in lookups but a rollback cannot bring the mob back. Same reason. This will not be a constraint going forward.
• This does not include data from the old 2024 server.

I still have the old CoreProtect database for now, so if you find something odd in the history, tell me and I can check it against the original.

The commands

The commands are the same idea, just without the flag soup. There is no u:, t:, r:, a:. You write a word and then its value, in any order. If you forget a word or don't know which to use, we have simple to follow tab completions and they work on all commands. One really cool feature is that you can hover over the tab completions to see what it means. Obviously, this is dependent on if your client supports it as older clients may not. Here's an example:


The main commands:

The words you put after them:

Here is the part most of you actually want, side by side with what you used to type:

Some things that are new and worth knowing:

• If you leave out user, the rollback will run for every player who matches, one after another, with one summary at the end. /rollback cause explosion near 200 cleans up a creeper field in one go, whoever set it off. /undo reverses the whole set.
• A rollback that would touch more than 100,000 edits stops and asks first. You get the count and a [confirm] link. Click it if you meant it.
• Lookup results have clickable coordinates. Click one and you teleport there. Hover a sign to read it, click [read] on a book to open it as the player wrote it.
• A wrong word does not give you a usage wall. It tells you which word was wrong, what you probably meant, and which words are allowed.
• The inspector does not change anything you click. Left click for the block, right click for the block on the face you clicked, /inspect again to turn it off.

If something breaks

I have done extensive testing with Alco, but there is always the chance I missed something. If a rollback does something you did not expect, run /undo right away and then DM me what you typed and what happened. If a lookup shows something that looks wrong, the old database is still around and I can compare.

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to report that Scissors has resumed development. We are now located on a new repository: https://github.com/ScissorsMC/Scissors.

I will work on getting CI/CD set up once again to ensure it is easily downloadable. For now, you'll have to compile it yourself. As of now, the Decimator exploit has been patched and we are in the process of patching many more. We are currently targeting the latest version of Minecraft available, 26.2. We do intend to support Scissors again and continuously update it for newer Minecraft versions.

Thanks,
Telesphoreo
