Yesterday the server was updated to 1.8.3 (from 1.8.0). The process went very well, thanks to changes mainly being non-"breaking" and most plugins now have 1.8.3-specific versions. At the same as doing the update, the death chest plugin was replaced. Now if you qualify for a death chest, you will see a message on respawn letting you know about it. Also, reclaiming items from the deathchest is easier. Simply try to open the chest as normal, even if you died on a claim not yours. Related commands are added to the Member Ranks wiki page, under the Worker section. At this time, I do not expect there is any need to worry about a 1.8.4 version of the server. The 1.8.4 Minecraft version is purely a security fix which is already implemented into our server build. Note: All 1.8.x client versions can connect to the server.
