I'm so excited! A lot of new things to learn and figure out, and the jobs look fun!
(Thank you for making BurningLands optional :D)

The entire economy has been updated to steer away from the massive spawner grinder meta. We believe this will be better for survival and it's season longevity. You can still make mob grinders, they are just nerfed and spawners are more expensive/rare.
Price Changes
Entirely new buy & sell prices for all items, to be better suited for a SMP.
Almost all items are now sellable
There are now sell categories that each item belongs to:
1. Crops, Food & Nature
2. Ores, Earth & Rocks
3. Mob Loot
4. Fish
Selling items will increase your “sales” for that category which unlocks higher sell multipliers!
Type /sell to sell items & view your multipliers.
1.20 & 1.21 Items added
Total money earned from selling items is now a stat & leaderboard
Spawner Update
Spawners have been replaced with spawner cores in shop. Spawner fragments must be obtained from other sources like monster loot tables, kilton, crates, events etc.
Spawners can now be crafted in a crafting table
Mobs now drop their vanilla loot table
Right clicking a spawner now shows it’s stats (Stack size, total mobs spawned, mob boost)
Party level requirements has been added for spawner types to be placed in claimed land
Resource world spawners now only give fragments when mined
Spawner cores are currency priced at roughly x170K average loot sell price of that mob: [Current Prices]
Diminishing Spawner Rates
Stacked spawners now have diminishing mob spawns. This is the current mob spawn rate: [Spawn Rate]
Looting Mechanics
Current looting mechanics had the enchantment basically disabled so this is a improvement
For mobs that have a purchasable spawner core, the looting enchantment will give +10% chance per level at getting +1 of the max loot amount (So pigs give 1-3 porkchop, looting 5 would give 50% chance at getting 4 porkchop)
Looting enchantment now works like vanilla on all other mob types
The Task Board has been replaced with our new Jobs system. Type /jobs or visit the Job Centre at spawn to browse job listings for 4 industries: Farming, Hunting, Fishing & Mining
There are 3 active listings in each industry at a time. These are randomly generated off a set of parameters and do not expire. Job listings can be refreshed/rotated once per day for free. Extra refreshes cost a small cubit fee.
1 of the job listings will have much heavier requirements but also pay out a lot more money.
As your job level increases, jobs that are too difficult for noobs will become available, which also have increased rewards.
Jobs Crate
After every 5th job you complete, you are given a key to open the new Jobs Crate! This crate can be found inside the Jobs Centre. Inside are lots of epic rewards, including a lot of the old task shop items.
We’ve configured jobs to be a great money maker early & mid season, and the unique crate rewards & leaderboards to still make completing jobs worth it for rich late-season players.
A new resource world has been added with beautiful custom terrain. The nether world is now also considered a resource world.
These 2 worlds will reset every Saturday with new seeds, and can be teleported to from a new world menu in the keystone.
Resource World Mob Duplicator
Since spawners have become more challenging to get, we’ve added a unique and fun mechanic to the vanilla mobs inside resource worlds. This will also help players more easily complete Hunting jobs without needing a grinder.
When a mob is killed, it will have a 50% chance at duplicating into 2 new generations of that mob. The new generation will have increased health, damage & loot, + cosmetic changes to indicate it’s change.
These new generations of mobs also have a 50% chance of duplicating again and again.
This means finding a group of 4 cows for example in the resource world could ultimately end up being 100+ cows if you’re lucky!
Duplication is stopped after the 5th generation otherwise it’d go exponential. Gen 5 mobs will glow and have a small chance at dropping a spawner core of their type.
InDev (Available in Beta #2)
Tangleroot is our most ambitious update yet! Explore a vast new world tangled with adventures. Discover our very first Dungeon and embark on an epic story Quest. Encounter new mobs, collect unique items, and take on exciting challenges. Use the river dolphins to navigate around quickly, survive explosive Volcano events, and conquer a new kind of maze. Test your skills in parkour and face off against a formidable new Boss!
COMING SOON Releasing in Beta #2
The Dev team is hard at work upgrading all of our software to 1.21. All 1.21 features like the Trial Chambers & the new items will be available. The only feature that will be disabled on release is the Crafter block, as we are not comfortable with the stability or dupe potential of this item yet. It will be enabled mid-season after more testing by the minecraft community.

The PvP arena update at spawn sounds awful. It takes out the casual fun side of pvping and watching others pvp. I don’t agree with any of it especially the barrier entry. Just leave it how it is. If it’s not broke why fix it.
p.s disable keep inv
