We have updated the servers to accept this new version, which is also compatible with the older 1.16 releases. Let your game update when its ready, and carry on with your mining adventures!

A set of improvements that I've been developing for several weeks to increase the performance of the servers is now ready and live! With this new model, the game servers that don't have any active players will automatically turn themselves off after a while. They are set to come back online on their own when you want to access them; in that case, you will see a notification telling you that the world you have selected is currently being prepared. Once ready, you will be moved over. ...

Did I hear someone say "building contest when"? I'm pretty sure I heard someone say "building contest when". So, building contest NOW! Our resident YouTuber xKamachi is inviting you to build shops at his location, with the top prize being a $10 Amazon gift card. Read on for the full details!

First, here is the full video with the story introduction, followed by the directions and contest details:




Rules

Your building goal is to claim a lot then create a shop from any time ...

"Anyone in Requiem?" "Is anyone in Asphodel?" These are common questions that you might see (or ask!) during Events Nights. For your convenience, you can now try the new /anyone command! It will tell you the amount of players present in each science region and challenge area. This updates in real-time and gives you a chance to check before you travel to your destination. Note that, all of the regions being located in Laurasia, this command will only work when used on that server.

Our official resource pack has been updated with a small quality-of-life change: items with high enchantments and potion levels will now display their power level in roman numerals like all others instead of falling back to decimal numbers. Go download the new version now! This trick only works for Java players, but the display for Bedrock players looks better by default already, so you're set. Thanks to Twixxi for the improvement and Sphenicus for the pack update!

Maybe you haven't seen it yet, but our YouTube channel has picked up in activity! Kamachi has been creating new content to breathe some life in our channel, with four video being added so far. Go check out our channel to see the latest additions, with more to come! If you've got suggestions on which builds would be worth a showcase, Kamachi is looking for your input! Meanwhile, on the Instagram front, I'm now making sure that each of our news post has an update posted on our p ...

A new month means new goals and challenges! We've got one beefy update to go through, including the brand new addition of Guilds, new Horsemen features and a new challenge, so keep on reading! From Twixxi: The Guilds of Creeper’s Lab have officially opened their Guildhalls to newcomers! New members such as yourself, known as Apprentices, start at the Laurasia Guildhall which can be found at the end of the Commercial Line in Central. There are six guilds within the Guildhall and you a ...

A common complaint from new players is the difficulty of locating new building grounds in Laurasia. Sure, there is plenty of land available, but finding your way when you're a new beginner is more difficult. To help with this, we're adding today on Laurasia two new Nether lines dedicated to beginners. Reachable directly from the spawn platform, or the basement of Grand Central Station, these two let people get to a nice variety of untouched biomes. Each destination can be reached i ...

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 ...
