Also, I updated all the datapacks myself, so the new 1.16 items work in them, appropriately.
For example, The SilkTouchSpawners datapack was set so only a diamond pick with silktouch was able to mine spawners, but players on the server agreed that it was only logical that netherite picks with silktouch should also work, since they are an upgraded version of a diamond pick, and the datapack hadn't been updated yet on Planetminecraft, so I went into the code and made the necessary changes.
Did a soft reset of the nether, so nethergold and twisted vines spawn. Basically just saved the regions that players had portals and buildings, reset the rest.
So far, this is one of the best updates in years ! The nether has a whole new feel to it, and I see alot more players doing stuff in the nether, on a regular basis. It feels as if, this update add more blocks than any other update, since at least 1.7
