Everything is new.
A new economy, rebuilt dungeons, the Black Market, Super Artifacts you forge yourself, Plus Levels, a full cosmetics system and an optional Oracle resource pack. Here is everything waiting for you.
The big six
The Black Market
Stake gems on any live market listing at odds from 5% to 75%. Win and the item is yours. Every roll is provably fair.
/blackmarket
The Nine Gates
Three new dungeon levels, dungeons that are always packed with mobs, and five power-up orbs that wipe out whole packs.
/dungeons
Super Artifacts
Open time capsules for fragments, craft essences, and forge the five Super Artifacts yourself.
/artifacts
Cosmetics
Tags, chat colours, join messages, particles, trails, prefixes and welcome banners in one place. Withdraw them into vouchers and trade.
/cosmetics
Plus Levels
Every month you stay subscribed raises your Plus Level, with bigger gem payouts and a badge next to your name.
/plus
Oracle Resource Pack
Optional custom art for menus, the scoreboard, boss bars, crates and emojis, plus 40 enchant sounds. Toggle it any time.
/pack toggleThe Nine Gates
Three new levels, up to 800 mobs per level, and glowing power-up orbs that spawn beside the spawners. Walk into one to fire it.
Alien Bomb
Pulls every nearby mob into one spot, then blows it up.
Nuke
Clears everything in a 40-block radius.
Acid Rain
Melts a huge ring of mobs around you in one hit.
Super Smash
A forward dive that flattens the pack in front of you.
Rampage
A 10-second kill aura that jumps between mob packs.
Every power-up gives +4 Speed for 10 seconds, and its kills count for full rewards and quest progress.
Dungeons 7, 8 and 9
Piglin Brutes (Hoglin elite), Drowned (Iron Golem elite) and Wither Skeletons (Ravager elite), each paying more mobcoins than the last.
Always full
Each level holds up to 800 mobs, and spawners refill the area you're clearing first.
Mobs don't fight back
Dungeon mobs never target you. Name labels are hidden for better FPS, but mini bosses still show their names.
Locked by level
You can't damage a level's mobs until you've unlocked it. Unlocks are spread evenly across prestiges, and none got harder.
Power-up menu and sounds
A new button in /dungeons explains every power-up, and each has its own sound you can switch off in /settings.
Much smoother
Dungeon mobs were rebuilt to be far lighter on the server, so busy dungeons no longer lag.
Piglins stay piglins
They no longer turn into zombies.
15 bosses, all new models
Every Underworld boss has been rebuilt in 3D. Pick one and spin it around.
Brand new 3D models
All 15 Underworld bosses have new models. Stats and rewards haven't changed.
Easier to hit
Modelled bosses have proper body hitboxes. Saok is now pink and no longer supercharged.
Boss guide bar
A boss bar always shows the nearest active Underworld boss, with its health and how far away it is.
Spawn cards
Boss and dragon spawns are announced with a portrait card in chat.
Scalewrack weekly hunt fixes
The leaderboard and reward list now display correctly, and Creaking Heart crates drop more often.
Dragon crate markers
A crate-coloured arrow shows above each landed dragon crate, visible through walls (resource pack only).
Weekly donation goal
When the community hits the goal, everyone gets a 24 Hour Daily Prime the next Monday: +1 location rewards and 1.25x currencies.
A tighter money loop
Money matters more on Map 5. Spawners, boosters and island growth all cost real money, and farming pays less of it.
Spawners move to the mobcoin shop
Buy 20 spawners (1x and 16x) for mobcoins plus money, from zombie (10k mobcoins + $100k) up to wither skeleton (1M + $10M).
New tier 6 spawner
Wither skeletons pay 3 mobcoins, 1 Slaying EXP and a wither rose per kill, and the spawner works in any light.
Locations pay less money
Pirate Bay sand and Woodlands logs pay 10% of their old money. Fragments, orbs, EXP, chests and hearts are unchanged.
Boosters cost money too
Orb shop boosters now also cost $250k, $600k or $1.2M by rarity. Fragment shop items cost $500k to $15M.
Shops stop rotating
Everything in the mobcoin and orb shops is always on sale. Grenades and value blocks leave the mobcoin shop.
New fragment shop
Sailors Shovel, Pirate Bay Essence and Time Capsule, with a Super Artifacts guide book.
Redesigned /shop
One sell row and one buy row, 81 new buy-only blocks including copper fittings, shelves and dried ghasts, and search from chat.
Saturday Bone Rush
Every Saturday all six mines give +1 rewards for 24 hours.
Bigger runic vouchers
Farming runic vouchers give 24 amethyst, 12 resin and 6 honeycomb blocks (was 16, 8 and 4).
Mooshroom spawner retired
The free amethyst blocks are gone, and the daily quest is now Kill Cows.
Resin bricks
No longer count toward island value. The condense wand handles 23 recipes instead.
Grow, compete, get home fast
Feeding island value costs a fee
Depositing value blocks costs 0.002% to 0.010% of their value, depending on your island's growth stage. If you can't afford it, the blocks are returned.
A richer /is top
Today's growth, this week's growth, your best week ever and which members are online, with a daily Discord recap and a weekly winners post.
Spawn portal goes home
Walk in to go to your island, or open island creation if you don't have one yet.
Light blue Mineshafts
Including the Mineshaft armour and essence, to avoid confusion with the Pirate Bay colours.
Progress you can see
Longer quest ladders that are easier to start, and your skills always on screen.
Location quests: 21 to 50 steps
Much easier to start (the first Dungeon quest is 25 kills instead of 50,000). Progress carries over, and one-time quests give 5x hearts and 3x keys.
Plain numbers
Replace Roman numerals on every quest.
Skills HUD
All five skill levels under the scoreboard, a detailed bar for the skill you're levelling, a LEVEL UP! popup and MAXED OUT! at 500.
/skillstop
The top 5 players in each skill.
Max Momentum gives Speed I
The Momentum bar changes colour with each tier and goes rainbow at 5x EXP.
New story finale
"Your Journey Begins" now rewards the #ORACLE tag, and Bob's quest gets a guide bar that points you to spawn.
Prestige progress
Once every area is unlocked, the action bar shows your progress toward the prestige requirement.
Daily Grinders
Every night a Discord post names the top gainer on each leaderboard, plus a Grinder of the Day.
Cryptbane saga retired
A new one returning mid map.
Forge your own
Super Artifacts are no longer only bought or won. Collect the pieces and forge one yourself.
Time capsule
Gives 3 fragments from one of five families.
Essence
9 fragments craft one essence. Essences stack to 64.
Super Artifact
8 essences around a plain netherite tool. The whole server sees it.

New dungeon sword enchants
Darkness, Hunter and the new Banewraith (Speed and Haste in dungeons) are Divine enchants, levels I to VI.

Darkness radius reduced
About 25% smaller at every level.
Bonus drop enchants rebalanced
Old Miner, Oak Hunter, Sailor's Luck, Harvester and Raider proc less often but pay x2 to x7 when they do.
Tunnel Vision

Pick an item. Pick your odds. Spin.
The Black Market sits on top of the player market. Choose any live listing, set your chance anywhere from 5% to 75%, and stake gems based on the item's worth and your odds. Then watch the purple crystal spinner decide.
Provably fair
Every roll can be checked with /blackmarket verify, and your history is under Your Rolls.
Win or burn
If you win, collect the item with /market claim. If you lose, the stake is gone.
25 rolls per 24 hours
Respins count toward the same limit, with a 5-second cooldown between rolls. Each roll becomes available again 24 hours later. Big wins are announced to the whole server.
No more junk listings
The market refuses plain vanilla items. Spawners, beacons, netherite and other valuables are still allowed.
3D renders on Discord
Market listings posted to Discord now show a 3D render of the item.
