Hey folks! Another update is available. It gives server owners the ability to create custom pages in the journal. This may be useful if you want to put the server rules there, or any other information regarding the server.

This update also introduces modular scaffolding objects, as well as two new items: A bucket (which can be used to place water in the world) as well as a canteen (if you want to drink water while traveling).

Scaffoldings:


Apart from that there is an experimental command to find your base - in case you get lost. If it works well, it will be added to the creative mode. However, it's still recommendable to build a bed at your base and sleep in it (so you will always respawn there, and the compass can also lead you to that position then).

Custom Journal:


Last but not least this update contains several changes as well as bugfixes. Check out the changelog to get an overview of all changes.

We are also working on dungeons at the moment, probably a few preview screenshots will be available soon.

Hi folks! It took a long time, but finally the long anticipated water update is available :) You will find water in ponds and lakes, randomly spread over the world, as well in big oceans.

Please note that this is only static water, in other words, it does not adapt to the terrain when you dig up the banks of a lake, for example. But it's our intention to implement dynamic water in the long run.

There are of course a lot of other new features, like the ability to drink water (key F), or new vegetations and objects, as well as several bugfixes. You find an overview of all changes in the changelog.

If you have trouble loading an old world, please let us know.







Have fun :)

Hey folks! As promised we will show you some first screenshots of the upcoming water update! Please keep in mind that it's not in its final state yet, so the appearance may change until release.

The first water release will only feature static water, i.e. it does not have any physical behaviour yet, but it will still look like water, feel like water and you can of course swim in it ;)

It won't take too long until the update is finally ready, eventually there might be another small update in the run-up to the water release. Stay tuned!
