CastleMiner Z - DDNA Jon
Creative mode has been upgraded! Three major changes to this mode:
- You can craft anything without needing resources.
- Dying no longer drops anything from your inventory.
- Press F to toggle Fly mode.

Additional changes:
- The old Creative Mode rules have been preserved under a new name: Exploration Mode.
- Added a second Lantern model for some additional variety.
- Added a unique model for the Laser Drill.
- Fixed a bug that destroyed all stacks of Recall Beacons when placing.

Even if you aren't excited to build, everyone should experience flying through the procedural landscapes of CastleMinerZ! Start a game in Creative Mode and fly around the world, through caves and rents in the earth, to islands in the sky and the volcanic mountains beyond. For added fun, bring a laser drill along for the flight.

This will be in beta for most of the week. Please let us know if there are any issues we need to fix before moving it to the live branch.

Thank you!

The laser drill is a modified laser rifle that offers a large ammo capacity combined with high rate of fire and the ability to preserve ore while it cuts through regular terrain. It also uses cheaper ammo than other laser weapons.

It's the ideal tool for tunneling in any direction and is fun to use! You can find it in the Pickaxe crafting menu.

Someone decided to take a common laser rifle and modify it to blast through all types of ore, leaving behind only the good stuff as loot!

Try out the new laser drill with a huge clip, tight accuracy, but low damage. It's the ideal way to cut a path through any terrain besides Bloodstone.

You can find it in the Pickaxes crafting menu.

Let us know what you think!
