The Collectables Update

Hello Creators!

Turns out Thing is quite the collector, and now its collection can be yours. These shiny new figurines — which feature your favorite Creativerse mobs like Pigsy, Leafi, Chizzard, Rambeau, Rockster, Keepa, and more — will look great in your builds! So if you're feeling adventurous, head down to the Corruption Layer and fight or tame some Things to start collecting. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.

In addition, we have some new items and a bunch of improvements, including a big overhaul to loot from treasure chests, which are now way more rewarding. We've added the ability to customize the length of timers in advanced world options, so now you can process and forge everything in 1 second if you like. There’s several new chat commands that add some useful tinkering abilities. And more!

This update also removes the ability to migrate your old worlds (...end of an era). Until next time...stay creative!
