You're playing through the science areas, collecting items, storing them carefully, but you have a creeping thought in your mind: "Did I skip something by mistake?" Thanks to StTheo, we now have a solution for all the collectors out there! As you might know, you can visit the Cavern of Science, under the Creeper Citadel, to see the full list of items that can be obtained. As of today, you can bring a shulker box and sheets of paper to the cavern, tap the box against one of the chests, a ...

Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.5 has been released today to fix some critical server issues. It happens to be compatible to .4, so you can move to it whenever you want! The potential problems are already fixed through our network, so we're good to go.

I'm introducing today a small feature to help you navigate the various worlds: the /pos command! Used as-is, this displays your current position along with the cardinal direction you're looking at. You can also use /pos on to have a display that auto-updates as you move around; it will fade out after a few seconds of staying put. To completely turn it off, use /pos off. This is available for both Java and Bedrock players and is a lighter alternative to the full debug screen, some c ...

The server versions have been updated tonight, with your usual bug fixes and improvements. Java players, you will now be required to use 1.16.4 to access the survival servers. Yes, Optifine has been updated. Bedrock players, you will need the latest version on your platform, which should be 1.16.100 as of this writing. If you haven't been auto-updated yet, go check on that!

It's early in the month, but some tuning to Race Away has been done! The in-game positions display will now feature the progression of the runners in increments of 500 metres, so everyone can get a better idea on how things are going. On death, temporarily, the top position of that runner will be used instead. The network-wide chat announcements remain at 5000 metres increments. The amount of hostile mobs that spawn has been lowered by 25% as the large number was actually causing lag bo ...

Race Away! Nature is angry. You've plundered the land, grinded resources, all to empower yourself and hopefully earn a few points. Did you ever consider the consequences of such efforts, though...? This month's challenge in Kenorland is Race Away! You start at 0, 0, with no equipment, and you must reach the highest X coordinate in the month by running East. Flee away from 2020, from these troubles, and run, run East, as far as you can! There are no horses and no Nether to provide s ...

It's time for our last event of the year, right on New Year's Eve. Take it over, Coneva! It's been a long year, hasn't it? Most of us stuck at home, with nowhere to go-- except into a game.. or two... or more. XD And most definitely Minecraft was among them, offering adventure and travel right from our seats. Creeper's Lab welcomed the integration of Bedrock into our Java servers, expanding our player base with a lot of new faces. In spite of the gridlock that the ...

The issue where you could respawn in the wrong location in various worlds has been fixed. To make sure that your position is set properly, it's important that you try to sleep in a bed across all servers that you're active on, at least once! In recent versions of the game, your spawn is set whenever you try to sleep in a bed, even during daytime. Furthermore, to get phantoms to leave you alone, you only need to rest in a bed until the screen fully dims out - you don't need to ...

It's been a long year for everyone, even for the jolly guy in red at the North Pole. Santa is getting ready to distribute his gifts, but he needs your help to make that happens on time! Kimonellos has planned out something to help you do just that. That's the starting point of this event, which is entirely located on the Seasonal server, accessible from Central. From there, you need to complete a quest in three parts. The forest Mobs are roaming the forest surrounding the starting ...

After all the votes have been tallied, a clear winner has emerged, and our wiki now has its name: Creeperpedia! As a reminder, the wiki can be accessed and edited by anyone: login using your Discord account and go! Everyone is welcomed to contribute to make this resource as complete as it can be. Plus, you can use the /wiki command in-game to run searches whenever you need to look something up.

We're having another month with plenty to keep you busy! This Saturday, the 19th, right as Event Night starts, Kimonellos invites you for a Christmas-themed event that will run for an entire week. You get to do something different, then earn rewards for your efforts at the end! The full details will be posted as the event begins, make sure to be there! Furthermore, with the likely cancellation of many New Year's Eve parties, Coneva has cooked up something to have some low-risk, hig ...

After taking in name suggestions for the past week, it's time to move on to the vote! What should be the official name of the Creeper's Lab Wiki? You can order the names available from your most favorite to least. The winning name will be unveiled in about a week from now!

After months of preparation, I'm happy to launch today the official Creeper's Lab wiki! You will find it at the simple address of https://wiki.creeperslab.net. The goal of the wiki is have a detailed, comprehensive guide to what the Creeper's Lab has to offer. Areas, locations, items, everything can now be documented properly and by anyone willing to work on it. As of this writing, there are already 912 pages of information available! You can access the wiki on the web and bro ...

Advent calendar Thanks to Twixxi's efforts, the Advent Calendar is making its return for a second year! For those not familiar with it, the concept is simple: go there, get a gift, and you can do so every day starting today up until (and including) Christmas! The rotation happens every day at around midnight, Eastern time. This year's selection of gifts is a mix of favorites from last year with several new additions. This also sees the introduction of Loyalty Baubles! Every day tha ...

Thanks to Twixxi, we now have an additional in-game tool for public use! If you make your way to Central, in the Commercial District, you will find the Super Loom. This is an automated building that allows you to add patterns to your banners without having to craft an actual loom block. Just bring your banners, your dyes, and hit the buttons to create your own designs! This could be of special interest to our Bedrock players, as the actual loom crafting table hasn't been implemented yet ...

Another rotation around the Sun has been completed, and the Creeper's Lab is now nine years old! Thank you everyone for helping this place grow more and more, and proving it has some serious staying power. A lot has happened in the past year, too: Updates to 1.15 and 1.16. New building contests. Four new uses for Merit Points were introduced. The forums received a major upgrade in looks and usability. A hardware upgrade was done to better handle multiple players. We now welcome Bedrock ...

Have you missed our re-introduction of TNT Tag last weekend and would like to try it out? Or you enjoyed the last event and would like more of it? Well, you're invited to come back for more boom booms this upcoming Saturday at 9pm, Eastern time, right at the beginning of Events Night! We'll continue as long as they're a crowd present. The problems we had last time have been fixed, so the rounds should go smoothly... as smooth as something chaotic like TNT Tag can go, anyway! T ...

Java Edition players, the servers now support 1.16.4. I recommend that you update to the new version when you get the chance; 1.16.3 will also be accepted for a while still. This game version includes new features to ignore anyone of your choosing in-game. Please note, should you choose to ignore staff for any reason, that will not be a valid excuse for anything. Consequences will be dealt with as before.

Since our Halloween event launched last night, is set to last a week, and you're likely busy with that, there will be no change done in Kenorland today. Keep that anarchy going! A new challenge might or might not be introduced later in the month, depending of the situation. Feel free to make suggestions if there's something you'd like to see make a return, or have an idea for something new! While Seasonal is focused on Halloween celebrations, the Hunter's Lodge eyes Than ...

Welcome, ghouls, ghosts and other demons to our special Halloween event. First things first, while this has already concluded, it's now back as a permanent feature: TNT Tag makes its grand return at last! This minigame, available directly from the lobby, challenges you and others to play tag in a designated arena. Some players are It, with a block of TNT on their heads. If you're wearing one, make sure to tag someone else quickly, because when the countdown reaches zero, that TNT b ...

Wonder no more: yes, we've made plans for this upcoming Halloween night! We've got two events scheduled for you, one after the other. Make your way to Central right as Events Night starts, this upcoming Saturday at 9pm Eastern time so you can participate in the first game. After this, you will be directed toward the second challenge of the night. Put yourself in the mood and bring a pumpkin! But what actually are these events? You will have to come in this Saturday to see! If you c ...

First things first, I'd like to thank everyone who showed an interest for helping with staff duties. It can be thankless work sometimes, but it's important to keep a healthy community going! As these things go, I didn't pick everyone who applied, but I appreciate your interest all the same. With that said, I'm now happy to announce that joining us as Helper are BioZombieActive, BroitsTAG, Kimonellos and Rebbica007. Congrats, all! As I indicated in my previous news post, i ...

It's that time of the year where ~~everything gets pumpkin spice flavored~~ we re-evalute the current activity on the server and what our needs are. In order to better support the players who need help during the day (or night!), we're looking to add a few staff members to the crew. Interested? Your primary tasks would be: Greeting the new players and answering any questions they might have. Checking on these players to make sure they understand and follow the rules. Getting playe ...

It's time for a new event, this time hosted by Mikey_el16! Where: Central, in front of the Creeper Bazaar When: By 10pm Eastern time this Saturday “A treacherous plot has been brewing on the outskirts of Laurasia, and now that plot is afoot. For Millennia, the Watcher has kept an eye on the world. But now the Watcher’s power might be at stake, for his eye has been stolen by Mikey, a personal servant to the Horsemen. It’s up to you now to trace Mikey’s steps and recover the Watc ...

The website receives today a bit of a facelift to modernize part of its appearance and help you find that you might be looking for, faster. A lot of that focus went into the sidebar present on all pages: the information now presented has a more unified look and clear separation between the sections. A new "Support" block shows the current progression of the Patreon campaign, and a different merch item is shown on each page load to give you an idea of the range of products available on our on ...

Dear journal, That's it, I've messed up. I've been banished from my home, sent to a faraway land with nothing but the clothes I was wearing. I'm alone, isolated in this new land. I haven't seen anyone else yet, but I have a bad feeling about this. I better gather supplies fast if I'm to survive here. I can never know what could happen next. Even from them. Are they after me? Of course they're after me. Everyone is after me. Well, I'll show them. I ...

As some of you already know, Mojang is doing their roughly yearly Minecraft event this Saturday, with Minecraft Live streaming at noon (Eastern time). How about we turn this into a Minecraft Day with a dash of Spider Dome in the evening? You're invited to join us for some mad players-vs-monsters at the Spider Dome arena! See how long you can last against the madness that gets unleashed there! And get some fun mob drops in the process! We'll start at 10pm, Eastern time, this Saturda ...
