🚀 May 2026 on Mineland — A Month of Big Changes

May was an action-packed month. To be honest, even we are a bit surprised by how much we managed to roll out in these 31 days. The team overhauled numerous systems, boosted optimization, packed in a whole bunch of updates for SkyBlock Classic, and, most importantly, released that massive Creative+ update we’ve been working towards for the past few years.

⚡️The Massive Creative+ Update
New Block — "Entity Event"

A new block type has been added to the editor: "Entity Event". Now, events related to mobs, projectiles, vehicles, items, and other entities are grouped into a separate category. This makes the editor's structure much clearer and more convenient for creating complex logic.

Additionally, some older events from:

• "Player Event"
• "World Event"

...have been moved to Entity Events.

Complete Overhaul of "Select Object"

Selection capabilities have been expanded. "Select Object" is now divided into 3 distinct categories:

• Create Selection: Creating a new entity selection.
• Add to Selection: Expanding an existing selection.
• Filter Selection: Filtering and modifying the current selection.

New Selection Features

Selection capabilities have grown. The following new actions are now available:

🌴Massive Update Package for SkyBlock Classic

Throughout May, the team actively worked on improving the quality of life in SkyBlock Classic. One of the first additions was support for abbreviated numbers in economy commands.

Now, in the commands /auc, /pay, /bid, and /dice, you can use the abbreviations:

• k
• m
• b
• t

This has significantly simplified working with large amounts of in-game currency.

🏪 Shop Overhaul

You can now instantly input the required amount of items or sell your entire inventory content with a single button. A confirmation window was added for large transactions. By the way, auctions now feature the ability to set a minimum bid.

🏝️ Island System Improvements

Significant changes have been made to the island loading system. Here is how it works now:

• The island is no longer unloaded when the owner logs off if guests are present.
• The island only unloads after all players have left.
• Visiting an island automatically loads it.
• Models continue to render correctly as long as players are present.

Additionally, new settings have been added for island owners:

• Toggle Knockback enchantments for guests.
• Toggle projectile usage.
• Disable robbery messages.
• Disable scoreboard hints.

💰 Auction and Economy Improvements

Players can now set a minimum bid when creating an auction. Bid limits have been increased, and various economy system bugs have been fixed. The team also carried out an internal overhaul of the player robbery mechanics, making the system much more stable and flexible.

🛡️ Project System Improvements

The report system received a major overhaul in May. Now, when creating a report, players are offered the most relevant violations for the current game mode.

We also added:

• Protection against self-reporting.
• Protection against duplicate reports on the same violator.
• Additional checks to reduce the number of false reports.
• Updated interfaces for submitting requests.

🔧 Stability Improvements

A large part of the month was dedicated not only to new features but also to improving the overall stability of the project.

The team has fixed numerous bugs:

• Compatibility issues with newer Minecraft versions.
• Bugs in the crates system.
• Incorrect interface behavior.
• Issues with resource packs.
• Command errors.
• Various bugs in SkyBlock Classic and Creative+.

We also cleaned up the aftermath of a dupe glitch discovered after one of the updates. Although a partial progress rollback was necessary, the issue was promptly resolved, and affected players were given the opportunity to apply for compensation.

📈 Monthly Recap

That was our May. Challenging at times, but incredibly productive. Thank you to everyone who helps us develop Mineland — the testers breaking mechanics in beta, the developers already building awesome modes on the new systems, and every single one of you who just logs in to play.

Back to work. See you on the server!
