Global ​

• Bone Crate (NEW): The Bone Crate is now live on Skyblock, Factions, Survival, and Prison with 18 new Bone runes, new tags, Bone emotes, and the Bone Cloud. See every rune, tag, and reward in the Bone Crate post.
• Helmet Wings Toggle (NEW): Custom helmets with wings, like the Bone Helmet, can now be worn without them. Toggle Helmet Wings in /prefs.
• Coinflip Spectating (NEW):
  • Taken coinflips now stay in their /cf slot with the wager, both players, and a live status, and clicking one lets you watch the flip.
  • Watchers see a live count of everyone watching across the network, a title naming the winner, and the result in chat.
  • When your flip lands, you see how many players watched it and who they were.
  • A finished flip stays in its slot for 10 seconds, and the watch screen has a back button.
• Bid Wars:
  • You now pick a starting price before listing an item (it no longer defaults to the minimum).
  • The low starting price warning now shows as soon as an item has any sales history, and tells you when sales data is limited.
  • The listed message now shows your starting price.
  • The overpriced starting price warning now names which market window it compares against.
• Price Check: Market prices now use the last 7 days of sales and only widen to 14, 30, or 90 days when there aren't enough recent sales (it always used 30 days before). Price history now opens right away instead of getting stuck on the loading chart.
• Blacksmith: Shattered items are now safe from losing any more durability, so they can't be destroyed while you wait to repair them, and maces now use the same shatter and repair system as other gear. Repairs now scale with how powerful the item is: 5x its max durability in experience, plus that much again for every rune and enchantment on it (it used to be 1x its max durability).
• Chest Shops: Filled shulker boxes now match by what's inside, so the same items packed in a different slot layout count as the same item and no longer show up as separate listings.
• Copper Blocks: Axes now scrape and unwax the newer copper blocks, including copper golem statues, on Skyblock and in Dungeons.
• Chat Announcements: Event, reward, and server announcements on every game mode are now neatly centered in chat.
• Leaderboards: Leaderboard menus now show player heads next to each name, with neatly lined up columns. Players whose names can't be loaded now show as Unknown instead of being skipped, so every rank stays in place.
• Helmet Wings: A new Helmet Wings setting in /prefs lets you hide the wings on your custom helmet on Skyblock, Prison, Factions, and Survival.

Runes ​

• Dark Star: Each player can now only be pulled by Dark Star once every 20 seconds.
• What Lurks Below: Now works in the Realm, and its Realm catches don't count toward the overfishing limit.
• Gardener and Green Thumb: No longer trigger in the Realm, where every crop you can break is already grown.
• Granary: No longer resets realm crops when it replants them.
• Ability Targets: Whoever your rune abilities are aimed at now glows red (it used to be green), so targets stand apart from the green ally glow.
• Greedy Runes: Selling Realm items with a Greedy rune now keeps your Honest Work crop sell bonus.
• Devour: The essence heal and cooldown cut now scale with how tough your target is, reaching full strength on enemies with 100 or more effective health, so it rewards taking on strong enemies.
• Ethereal Escape: Rebalanced so each mob kill grants 0.2 (I) to 2 (X) Arcane Essence (was 20 to 200), so escaping the zone at 100 essence takes a real run of kills instead of one or two, keeping it fair alongside the other runes.

Dungeons ​

• Guided Tutorial (NEW):
  • Your first dungeon is now a guided walkthrough with Sir Aldric, who explains perks, leads you into each room, and points out mobs, gold piles, crates, hidden buttons, and riddles as you go.
  • The tutorial now has a third room with a riddle, and the next door and the boss portal are outlined and flash once they can be opened.
  • Already know the ropes? Skip it anytime with /dungeon skiptutorial.
• Daily Boosted Runs (NEW): Your first dungeon run each day drops 2x coins from mobs, rooms, and bosses (2 boosted runs a day with Plus). See how many you have left in /dungeon or with /dungeon daily; they reset at midnight ET.
• Tiered Boss Chests:
  • Boss chests now come in tiers based on how much of the dungeon you cleared, and every room in the layout counts, so full clears earn the best chest: Wood (any clear), Gold (30% of rooms), Diamond (50%), Emerald (70%), Obsidian (80%), and Bedrock (94%). Each tier up adds more coins (up to 2x on Bedrock), more item rolls (3 on Wood up to 8 on Bedrock), and better RNG luck. Overworld chests go up to Emerald, Nether up to Obsidian, and End all the way to Bedrock.
  • Higher tiers add guaranteed bonus loot: Gold adds a Repair Kit, Diamond adds an Insta Heal II and a Wayfinder, Emerald adds a Revive and a Wayfinder, Obsidian adds a Revive, a 2x XP Boost, and a Wayfinder, and Bedrock adds 2 Revives, a 2x XP Boost, and a Wayfinder.
• Boss Head Rematch (NEW):
  • After a boss dies, there's a 20% chance its head is left behind. Your party leader has 30 seconds to right-click it and start an Empowered rematch with double health and a 4 minute time limit.
  • Win and every unopened chest turns Empowered: +50% coins, +3 item rolls, 2x RNG luck, and a bonus Revive. Lose and you still keep your normal chest.
• Dungeon Challenge (NEW):
  • Each run has a 10% chance to offer a Dungeon Challenge once half the rooms are cleared, and your party leader has 60 seconds to accept it for the whole party.
  • Mobs get tougher for the rest of the run in exchange for more coins from mobs: Common +10% health, +15% damage, +20% coins; Epic +15% health, +20% damage, +30% coins; Legendary +20% health, +25% damage, +40% coins; Mythical +25% health, +30% damage, +50% coins. Bosses only get the extra health.
• Master Tags: Each dungeon's top mastery milestone now gives its own tag: ⚔ Overworld ⚔ (1,000 completions), ⚔ Nether ⚔ (800), and ⚔ End ⚔ (600). Already claimed that milestone? Your tag voucher is given to you automatically.
• Boss Fight Confirm: Solo players now get a confirm screen before the boss portal pulls them in, showing how many rooms you've cleared, since rooms can't be cleared once the fight starts. Turn it off with Boss Fight Confirm in /dungeon settings.
• Perks: Rapid Recovery and Team Support are now only offered in party runs, so solo players always roll perks that help them.
• Restarts: Server restarts no longer cost you your saved run or give you a quit penalty.
• Survival Dungeon Shop: Now sells a 30 Day Plus Rank voucher for 750,000 Dungeon Coins (dungeon level 20) and a Reset Vault Voucher for 500,000 Dungeon Coins (dungeon level 25).
• /dun Shortcut: In-run dungeon commands now work with /dun too (/dun leave, /dun settings, and /dun skiptutorial).

PVE (Dojo, Tomb, Skull Etc.) ​

• Treasure Chests: When a treasure chest runs out of uses, only that chest despawns now (it used to clear every area's chest at once), and chests stay in place with their uses left after a server restart.
• Treasure Key Tiers: Pharaoh's Tomb Treasure Keys without a set tier now roll Rare 40%, Epic 25%, Legendary 20%, and Mythic 15% (was Rare 30%, Epic 30%, Legendary 20%, and Mythic 20%), matching how often each chest spawns.
• Relic Hunger: Pharaoh's Tomb mobs with Relic Hunger are now a real threat to your gear: 40 durability each time it hits (was 15) on the first tier and 50 (was 20) on the higher tiers. To help you stay ahead of it, chat now warns you when an item drops below 10% durability, and again at 1 durability.
• Mob Spawns: PvE areas now only fill spawn points within 64 blocks of a player, so mobs show up where you are.
• Dojo: The Dojo hologram no longer shows a 10 minute entry cooldown, since there isn't one.

Skyblock ​

• Redstone Usage (NEW):
  • /is redstone shows which chunks on your island are hitting the redstone limit, with a live 60 second chart for each chunk.
  • Island members get a chat warning when a chunk is being limited (at most every 10 minutes), and members with the Change Settings permission can mute it for the island.
  • Island icons now show hopper and redstone lines to island members.
• Island Menus: The island list and /is who now show how many members are online, and island age shows in its largest unit.
• Shop: Snowballs can now be sold in the shop for $1 each.
• Farming Minions: Carrot, potato, and nether wart yields are rebalanced to keep crop prices healthy for everyone who farms: carrots and potatoes now give about 24% of what they did and nether wart about 33%, and a fully grown max-range field now fits neatly in max storage.
• Refining Milestones: Refining milestones need far less Essence: 445 in total on casual islands (was 3,516) and 890 on competitive islands (was 7,032). Refined item goals are unchanged.

Pharaoh's Realm ​

• Crop Hotspots (NEW):
  • Glowing patches now pop up across the Realm crop fields and move to new spots over time. Harvesting inside one boosts your Perk Finds: Fertile Patch +25%, Bountiful Patch +50%, and the rare Golden Harvest +100%, which is announced in chat when it appears.
  • Each patch has a label showing its bonus and how many crops it has left, so you can see at a glance where to farm next.
• Crop Blight (NEW): Slow drifting blight circles now roam the Realm crop fields. Crops inside wither for everyone until the blight moves on, keeping the fields fresh and steering the best farming toward the hotspots.
• Log and Dune Tiers:
  • Tier goals are higher, so logs and dunes now take about as long to max as crops.
  • Logs: 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, 225,000, and 350,000 (was 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, and 75,000).
  • Dune blocks: 50,000, 75,000, 150,000, 225,000, and 450,000 (was 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 50,000, and 100,000).
  • Your progress is kept. The first time you log in, your log and dune tiers are recounted at the new goals.
• Treasure Keys:
  • Treasure Keys from Realm crops, logs, dunes, and fishing are now a rarer, more valuable find, keeping the loot inside them worth chasing.
  • Realm Codex Treasure Key goals are much easier to match: crops 4 (was 25), logs 2 (was 15), and dunes 2 (was 15).
• Casual Lockout: Being on a competitive island now only locks you out of casual realms if that island can open the Realm (it bought the Pharaoh's Realm upgrade or is high enough level).
• Island Progress: Realm stats, missions, and milestones now only count for the island you entered the Realm from.
• Flash Events: The bossbar now shows the flash race for your own bracket.
• Weekly Board: The weekly leaderboard now resets at midnight ET (it used to reset at 8pm ET).
• Fishing Leaderboard: Realm fish now count toward the fish caught leaderboard.
• Fishing Spots: Fishing spots now spawn across the whole Realm pond and at least 8 blocks apart, instead of bunching up in one part of it.
• Champions: Outside the Realm, the champion scoreboard line now only shows during a fight or within 5 minutes of a spawn.
• Stat Tracking: Realm block breaks, fish caught, and champion kills now count toward your /track stats.
• Quality of Life:
  • The /realm menu now has a link to the Realm guide at the top.
  • Regrowth sparkles and the fortune cube now only show to the player who broke the block.
  • Stepping into the Realm portal now takes you in right away, with no wait.
  • The Realm pond is now deeper and has lily pads.
  • The Realm now runs smoother with less lag.

Prison ​

• Gangs:
  • Gang Top Loyalty (NEW): Starting with the November Gang Top month, your Gang Top points and gang mission progress count for one gang per month.
  • The first 24 hours after each monthly reset is swap day, so you can move to the gang you want to compete with. After swap day, the gang you earn points for is locked in until the next reset.
  • Points and mission progress you earn for a different gang that month won't count, and chat tells you when that happens. Your gang's contributions menu shows which gang your points count for and how much of swap day is left.

Frequently Asked Questions ​

What is the Boss Head rematch in Dungeons?

• After a dungeon boss dies, there's a 20% chance its head is left behind. Your party leader can right-click it within 30 seconds to fight an Empowered rematch, and winning turns every unopened chest Empowered with more coins, extra item rolls, better RNG luck, and a bonus Revive.
