Short but Cute
A little shorter edition then normally, no staff interview but still something relaxing to start off your week! I hope you enjoy it. PS. Our discord server got a huge glow up, make sure you check it out!
Icon Changes: Good or Bad?
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new" -Socratis, Greek philosopherIf you are unaware: CubeCraft has had these items (shown below) in your inventory for all of your lobby needs, social menu, lobby changer etc. for many years.
Made by: Quartz
These are old unoriginal and uncreative so new custom textures (shown below) were added to spice things up a bit.
Made by: TnAdan
The instant reactions to these changes in short were "ew", they are new and people on CubeCraft do not tend to like new thing, however immediate feedback was given to Story (the designer of these icons) by myself and Quartz. We thought that they may look nicer without the bold white outline, I can't say for sure but I reckon Story took this into consideration and made a pole asking whether people prefer the icons with or without the outline. Summarised, the majority of people prefer the new icons without the outline.
Separately, Quartz (a key member to this discussion apparently), decided to make a "new program" in which he described the pros and cons and quite bluntly showed his hatred for FFA and the Fancy Icons, more info can be found here.
Now finally, I posted a poll an hour after the release of these icons, asking whether you preferred the new or old versions. At the time of writing it has a total of 36 votes, split evenly between liking new and old.
Please share your opinions on this as every person has a voice to be heard!

Dragclicking Banned
Dragclicking, for those that don’t know it: It is a way of clicking on your mouse to get up to 50 CPS. With this high amount of CPS, people are able to godbridge and clutch jumps. But this high CPS gives an advantage to people who are not able to dragclick. So Team CubeCraft decided to disallow dragclicking, starting from the 15th of June, you are not allowed to dragclick anymore. Jitterclicking and butterflyclicking are still allowed. But we won’t be able to get a 50 CPS anymore. Hopefully the experience for new players will be better. This being only a side note of the 1.12 update means a lot more will change. You can read all about it in TCCT over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!Article by: @colinverp

Support Forum Update
Sometimes, when you ask a question in subforums, you get loads of answers, which may be right, but more than likely mostly wrong. And if other people ask the same question, you answer them a wrong answer, which results in more and more people believing the wrong answer. And this is where the new restriction comes in.Now, only staff can reply to questions on the subforum. Of course, you can still view the question, you just can’t answer them. Hopefully there will be less misunderstandings in the future!

Slime Survival Part 9
The slimes had now adopted a new strategy to try and reach me. They were climbing up to the roof the way I had and then tried to jump down onto the ledge. But every single one of them lost their footing, and I wasn't sure if it was the fact that they were made of slime that was the cause. As I was looking up to the roof to watch them, I noticed something shiny underneath the roof of the building I was on. I cautiously reached up and grabbed the object, and when I looked at it in the light I realised it was a key. The key to the chest! Whoever buried the chest must have hidden the key here, knowing that the slimes wouldn't be able to reach it, and by sheer coincidence I had managed to find it.By this point, the slimes had gone back to staring at me from the ground. There were still too many of them for me to make a run for the chest. But from past experience I'd had with them, they didn't seem to be the most intelligent creatures, so perhaps I could trick them in some way. I thought for a few minutes, then remembered that I knew the only way I could divert their attention. Oh.
I pulled the Frost Sword out of my belt. I didn't want to give it up, but it was likely the only way I would be able to distract them long enough to reach the chest and open it. Let's just hope it will be worth it. I counted to three and then threw the Frost Sword out into the crowd of slimes. They ran to it immediately and I leapt off the ledge and ran in the opposite direction, towards the center of the island where the chest was hidden.
I quickly dropped to my knees and put the key into the lock. It took a few tries as my hands were trembling. When the lid popped open, I could see three objects inside. One was a round, grey ball about the size of my palm and it was labelled "Gravity Explosive". The second was a long, orange rod that was warm to touch, and that one simply said "Blink". The last item was a book, which was very neatly presented with a red ribbon wrapped around it.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to read it. I sensed the slimes coming and looked up. One of them had managed to pick up the Frost Sword, but I knew that it did not affect me the same way that it did them. Still I wasn't taking any chances. I ran for my little boat, got in with the three special objects I had acquired, and rowed away from the island as fast as I could.
