Changelog/2023/January 26

Hey everyone! Today we're opening alpha for The Garden, but we're doing things a bit different this time around. Today, we would like you all to test later game farming. Therefore, we've made it way easier to unlock plots and progress!

 Modifications: 


 * Plots have very low requirements for cleaning and have most of the overgrowth removed
 * Plots are free to unlock
 * There is an NPC in the hub called Centauri that will give free items and coins!

EDIT: We are pleased with the data we've collected from this environment. We are going back to normal conditions for a final round of bug gathering and squashing -- though Centauri is still around to help. Because of this, we had to clear everyone's data. Thank you for your continued testing and support; it helps us out a lot!

If you encounter any issues - small, major or critical, please report them here and make sure you select alpha.hypixel.net!

Known issues - Please do not report these!
