Yep! We’re updated and ready to go! It’s been a longer and much more complicated process this time around, but it’s going to be worth it. The new spawn area looks incredible, and we’ve got a lot of players eager to come back and get stuck in!

There’s a couple of little features we’re still tweaking and there’s going to be some teething issues from time to time, so please be patient with us. The most important thing you can do is tell us! If you see something that’s not quite right, please let us know in a Discord ticket, or in game through a /mail send JohnsanGeezo if you don’t have Discord.

A few things to note:

• The Nether & End will not be accessible yet – just settle in and explore the map. Find a spot to build and get a bit of a plan together! We’ve not set a date for the Nether or the End yet. This is to stop speedrunners and encourage everyone to take their time. They’ll come, but give them time.
• The /tpr command, the Daily and Mega crates are set up and ready to go in 1.21 New Survival, but they will no longer work in 1.21 Survival. The good thing is there’s new goodies in the daily crate! We’ve swapped out coal and emeralds for bundles and a couple of trial keys.
• The Trade Hall (located in the heart of the Spawn area again) is built, but we’re not quite ready to open with it yet. It’s going to be opening in the next few weeks. It gives you a chance to get your wares together.
• Back for 1.21 New Survival, are some datapacks we all know and love. You’re able to bottle your XP again, elytra can be combined with armour for armoured elytra, we’ve added renewable trial chambers and a few more. More information on that is available at 121NewSpawn. Look out for the Noticeboard as you enter the world!
• Given the spawn area is an island surrounded by a lot of ocean, this time we’re wanting to discourage building anything closer to 121NewSpawn. We ask that you don’t create pointless pillars nearby – they impact screenshots that we take during the course of the year for promotion. There are a few ocean monuments nearby to Spawn too, but there’s plenty more around the map, so leave the ones close to spawn alone.

Finally, a massive thanks to the build team for creating our new Pirate island inspired 121NewSpawn! A huge shout out to Meowlicky, CopperJay, Smaug12345 & blossomintheair for getting stuck in. Once again it’s our best spawn yet. They just keep getting better and better!
