THE NEW ADVENTURE UPDATE
Coming December 18th, 3:00 PM EST

|THE NEXT CHAPTER HAS BEGUN
We are very excited to announce some big changes coming December 18th

To sum things up nice and short:

- MineVast will be renaming to ManaCube (manacube.com)
- Survival revamp will be released + reset
- Skyblock revamp will be released + reset
- New Website & Store design coming
- New Hub Spawn
- ManaCube has some awesome lore
- Our community will be growing fast this month!





The Mana Cube
The Mana Cube is an ancient magical cube located inside the Hub Island. It has mysterious properties, and powers the dimensional rift inside the Tree of Time
It is believed to be older than the universe itself
Tree of Time & Dimensional Rift
The Tree of Time is located on the surface of the Hub Island. A dimensional rift is embedded in the body. It was once a regular portal, but once it's roots came in contact with the Mana Cube, it became unstable due to consuming more mana than it could handle, opening up a large tear in space-time/

The Rift allows the transportation between different dimensions and time periods.
Using the rift too often can give way to Rift Sickness which can cause travelers to become unstable when used
Current Ages
The Rift currently links up to 8 different time periods in space-time
(CE = Common Era. BCE = Before Common Era)


  • Creative - Birth of the Universe
  • Islands - Era of Piracy, 1600 CE
  • SkyWars - Futuristic, 4350 CE (This will make sense when SkyWars receives it's revamp update)
  • Skyblock - Era of Magic, 6000 BCE
  • KitPvP - Medieval Age, 600 CE
  • Parkour - Unknown
  • Survival - Explorer Age, 8000 BCE
The Magi Consortium
The Magi Consortium is the governing force within the universe, generally working for the good of everyone. Their headquarters is located west of the Hub Island.

Staff Team members are also members of the Consortium
The Consortium are responsible for reporting of events, such as maintenance, new content, new dimensions found, etc.
Rift Explorers
These are the brave Mages that travel space and time. They're known as Rift Explorers, and the best mages in the universe (They have to be in order to survive dimensional travel)


BRAND NEW WORLD
Enhanced custom terrain generation + Dynmap is back

Survival will now have a new fresh 1.10 world, created with a custom generator for more appealing terrain, places to discover, unique structures, and more!

The current size is 15k by 15k Square border. Which is considerably (almost 100%) larger than our old world (10k by 10k Circular border)

F.A.Q

Will the IP be changing?

The IP will be changed to play.manacube.com / manacube.com
You will still be able to use MineVast's IP, or any other IP that directs to MineVast


I bought Keys for Skyblock/Survival, can I get a refund?

If you bought ancient/perk keys for Survival/Skyblock in the past week, you will be sent them again when you log in.

Looks awesome and fun! Although, I'm going to miss the old Minevast, it was fun. From what I saw its pretty cool and I assume the other servers will get an update soon enough too? I'm super excited though and can't wait!
