Today is the 8th Anniversary of Murder Miners, the original Xbox 360 edition of the game was released on 9th September 2012.
To celebrate we are temporarily updating the game with re-made versions of the original textures including blocks, weapons and effects along with the original sounds, and also the new weapons in the original style.
We have also added 12 classic maps from older versions of the game to go along with the original textures.

You have 3 minutes to find 20 eggs, and you only have one chance, so get as many as you can! 😁 The person(s) with the most eggs at the end of the event will get a steam game of their choice from a list.
This event uses a custom version of the game that you can access with a special code, you can find it the same way you find the beta versions of the game after you enter the code. You will receive the code when you sign up for the event.
Update 36 is here with many new goodies for everyone to try starting today! This update is for our lovely community of map makers and players who want to play on great new maps!
Added 14 New Blocks
◦ Magma ◦ Hedge ◦ Roof Tile ◦ White Space Bricks ◦ Grey Space Bricks ◦ White Simple ◦ Red Simple ◦ Blue Simple ◦ Green Simple ◦ Yellow Simple ◦ Treetop ◦ Cloud ◦ Vacuum
More on new Cloud and Vacuum block:
The Cloud Block A handy dandy clump of cloud is a weak passable opaque block that can be used in map making mode to create secret routes, surprise pits, hidden portals and more! It could even be used in more creative ways such as deep fog or a shade for pixel art and whatnot. During matches, one can use the cloud block to hide themselves or use it to create hidden traps to trick the enemy to falling off the map, cloud blocks can be shot through like your everyday air but can only be broken by melee, lasers and explosives so find your enemy and blow away the clouds.
The Vacuum Block Another useful block that's only available to map making mode, what this invisible lookalike does is that it prevents players from building in the areas that these blocks are placed, this only works if its locked though so stay wary! This block can be used to protect spawn zones and flags from being built over, blocking players from nerd poling too high or preventing getting out of the map safely. The block currently has the same texture as invisible but will have its own variant in a later update.
Updated 19 Block Textures

Make sure to join the Murder Miners Hub discord to play/chat with community and for the latest news on Murder Miners and Murder Miners X. Believe. https://discord.gg/T3QCYsU
Xbox One version coming soon! Well Microsoft finally came to their senses and accepted Murder Miners 1 on their current console. We’ve taken a long break from working on Murder Miners X to create the ultimate version of MM1 for XBone (which will launch next week we’re hoping), and we’re bringing the additions to y'all on Steam ahead of time as a free update. Ain’t life grand?
(You may have to restart steam to get the update. Check "Updates" in the main menu and look for "Update 30" to make sure you got it.)
(Mac and Linux versions will also be updated soon.)
Zombienaut Mode! The first miner to get a kill transforms into the dreaded ZOMBIENAUT: A gigantic, hulking terror of doom and disgustion. Murder the Zombienaut to become him yourself.
Murder Royale! We’re all about innovation and trendsetting here at JForce Games...Will you be the last miner standing?
4 player local and online split screen added! Looks like one of our fans finally got his wish:
Rocket Launcher! Our most requested weapon through the years has been added. Use the alt fire to take control of a rocket fly-by-wire style ala Perfect Dark. Since it's currently OP we’ve made it disabled by default.
Improved menus / less clutter!
Walking regurgitate! Now you can bring your fountain of sweet nourishments to your fellow zombies. “Meals on Wheels…?” More like “Meals on the heels...of zombies.” Fuck.
The Murdership's attack has been buffed (explosions don't blast miners as far away from subsequent shots).
Increased the max vehicle spawns on a map to 30 and weapon spawns to 50!
Inviting and joining from your friends list is now working!
Player Stats! For everything from your number of players murdered to blocks destroyed as a zombie---go to options>debug>view stats to check 'em out.
Weapon changes! (Most weapons have been nerfed)
Decreased bullet magnetism range (and aim assist range if using a controller) on the shotty, machine gun, assault rifle, and an unscoped pistol / battle rifle.
The mighty sniper rifle now has recoil when repeatedly firing while moving (especially when not scoped in), so players will have to control their shots / movement more judiciously. It also has received a laser pointed indicator (ala TF2) to reveal a snipers position and to let miners know if a sniper is waiting for them as they turn a corner.
Fully charged Minergun blaster is no longer a one hit kill.
Is Murder Miners one of your favorite $1 games that you’ve gotten 10’s or even 100’s of hours from? Are you a believer in JForce? Well here is a great way to show off your belief while supporting the development of Murder Miners X:
Believer Badge!
Display your status and authority as a believer with this commanding accoutrement:
Gold weapon skins!
Everything a believer touches turns to gold...every weapon you equip will become golden with belief and every golden weapon you drop will revert back to normal if touched by a nonbeliever (this effect can be toggled in armor customization).
Glowing believer banner in pregame lobby!
Spit on nonbelievers ability!
Shame the unwashed, non-believing masses who do not kno de wae (with related achievement). To spit press "Z" on the keyboard (or X + Right on the D-pad with an Xbox controller) then fire it at the nonbelievers.
We’ve gone on quite a ride together these last 8 years: Making Murder Miners and becoming full time devs after delivering pizza and waiting tables has been a dream come true for us 3 at JForce. I don’t mean to be too sappy, but I want to say that playing alongside you guys through the years and reading all the supportive comments (especially those talking about your memories of playing Murder Miners with your friends back in the good old days and what not)...it means the whole world to me my brothas. Thank you. Here’s to the future and Murder Miners X!
R00k (Jonny) and Ty bring forth to you another Murder Miners update:
Official Autorun Servers! You can actively play or simply host afk to leave the server up for others. Your server will be tagged as “Official” in the match list. Official servers cycle through standardized maps and settings to give those joining a solid Murder Miners experience---not one in which some abusive, ban happy host is playing on some lame, exploitative map with shit settings.
With your help “No sessions found” can now be a thing of the past. Please consider hosting Official servers when no other server is up and joining them to attract other players.
Sentry! Remember how I said, “With the zombies getting so much more powerful, how can the Murder Miners even hope to survive?” after the ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS update? Well, this is what I had in mind. It’s currently the alt fire of the sword. Since we’re still fine-tuning it we’ve made it disabled by default (You can enable it under “Weapon Options” in the pregame lobby).
All the very best to you guys,
-JForce Ty
(Btw you may have to restart steam to get the update. Check "Updates" in the main menu and look for "Update 29" to make sure you got it.)
https://youtu.be/dFUJOwexGT4 This is Murder Miners X, the sequel to Murder Miners. You're seeing Jonny's new voxel solution, "Voxel Plugin" available on the Unreal marketplace (we're not using Voxel Farm anymore). Be sure you don't miss the release of Murder Miners X by following our new Steam dev page: https://store.steampowered.com/dev/JForceGames
And of course if you want to play in the next Murder Miners game night that Ty runs, join the MM Steam group.
Hey, fellas, we got a big bugfix, a few tweaks, and a respawn timer for Murder the Flag.
-Fixed the “You have been booted” error when joining a match.
-Added a spawn timer for Murder the Flag and other possible game modes.
-Nerfed AI zombies (lowered damage and added a delay after attacking).
-Increased time to activate regurgitation and now the HUD regurgitate text grows red while being activated (to help prevent regurgitating when you want to devour).
-Slowed down minergun blaster projectile and increased its damage at lower charge levels.
-Minergun now uses less ammo while building and recharges faster---use the line function!
-Fixed bug which caused the minergun’s fully charged blast to not count towards achievement.
