After nearly 3 months, the next chapter release of Minecraft is finally out!

Minecraft v26.1.2 - Tiny Takeover. As its name implies, this update overhauls the baby mobs! With new animations and textures, they look cuter than ever!

What happened to Minecraft 1.22?
You may notice Minecraft versions appear to have jumped from 1.21 to 1.26, now renamed as 26. Going forward, Mojang has changed the versioning system to match the year of release. As its 2026, all releases for this year will start with 26.x.x (So 2027 will start as 27.x.x)

Its that time again! Hytale update 2 is now released.

This is a compulsory update - customers will need to update their servers for this release in order to continue playing.

Updates to the server can be done from the Installer and Modpacks section of the control panel. We do not auto update the servers as this can introduce corruption from mods and plugins which may need to be updated first.

Here is a quick summary of the update:

Hytale Update 2 focuses on a mix of improvements, balancing, and major backend/server upgrades. It adds new cosmetics and character customization options (including armour visibility toggles and improved animations), introduces several gameplay tweaks like adjusted mining/tool progression, creature balance changes, and new crafting options, and delivers a solid set of farming improvements (better soil/crop behaviour, seed returns, and offhand torch support). On the world side, it expands WorldGen V2 support with new flat/void templates and updates ore generation so new chunks contain refreshed ore layouts. UI and accessibility also get attention with clearer tooltips, inventory shortcuts, an optional FPS counter, map/compass readability upgrades, and an "Ophidiophobia mode" that replaces snakes. The server side has a big push toward stability plus large list of fixes and refinements across gameplay, audio/visuals, and general performance.
