🎃Spooky Springs Reminder & Update

Hey everyone. Here to give a quick reminder and update on Spooky Springs and a few general updates.

🍄‍🟫Spooky Springs

  • Reminder that there's still about 12 days for Spooky Springs, which is plenty of time to make a build. A number of plots are still open!

  • We've also decided to add some prizes. These are in addition to the standard and special prizes already announced:

    • 🎃The top 3 builds will earn the Pumpkin Mask charm, which grants -20% detection range and stops Endermen from angering at your sight.

    • 🍬ALL entrants will receive the Treat Bag charm, which allows mobs to sometimes drop Halloween treats even outside of the season.

  • We recently doubled the build contest entry prize to 50k silver and 4 Badges of Valor. A simple Spooky Springs build gets you both of those and a Treat Bag!

🌕Blood Moons

Blood Moons are a special event that can activate during the Halloween season on Silver Springs.

  • 🌕When a full moon rises in the survival or resource world, a Blood Moon activates - a sleepless night of dangerous foes.

  • 🌑Enemies which spawn under the light of the Blood Moon are stronger and drop better loot:

    • 🩻Wither Skeletons with fiery bows and Zombified Piglins spawn in the overworld throughout the night.

    • 💪These enemies, and all others, are bigger, stronger, and faster. Creepers explode in a wider radius, leaving behind enfeebling clouds.

    • 🦾Empowered enemies drop additional XP, uncommonly an occult item (same pool as Dowsing Thumb), and rarely the Sanguine Phial charm.

  • 🩸The Sanguine Phial stacks at double rate for kills during Blood Moons.

🎃Spooky Springs Poll

For the uninitiated, Spooky Springs is a special build contest we sometimes run near Halloween where each group builds in separate plots in a shared Halloween town. This gives you limited space to work with, but everyone gets to build near each other. To see some examples, check the `SpookySprings2017`, `SpookySprings2019`, and `SpookySprings2023` warps.

This year, we'd like to gauge what you're all most interested in: the typical plot-based format, a more classic build contest in the survival world, or something else. Use the poll here and share any additional feedback here. Thanks!

  • ✏️Prize Info: Can be found here.

  • 🏆Special Prize: Entrants for the top 3 submissions earn +1 Charms slot and a free **Polaris** relic (see below!)

💡Lights

A new Valor relic, Polaris, is available for purchase from Artificer Malachy for 1 Nether Star + 4 Runes of Sparks.

Inserting light-emitting blocks or Runes of Sparks into Polaris charges it. You can adjust its selected brightness, then "place" it to spawn an invisible light at that brightness, consuming an equivalent amount of charge. There is no cap to the charge, which also allows Polaris to act as an infinite sized stack of lights.

For example, torches give off 14 light, so inserting one adds 14 charge. You can use this to place 1 light of 14 brightness, or 2 lights of 7 brightness, and so on. Looking forward to seeing how you all use this to enhance your builds!

    • 🌧️`/creative_world weather <weather>` - Sets a personal creative world weather override. Accepts `rain` or `reset`.

    • There are also `home` and `particle_wand` subcommands which simply act as aliases to `/creativehome` and `/particlewand`.

    • Using just `/creative_world` on its own acts as an alias to `/warp creative`.

Hey everyone, been a while! Today we've got a new build contest kicking off, and a few general updates.

🍻Build Contest: Tavern

A place for drinking, stories, perhaps sparring? Rustic inn, pirate bar, snowy lodge - whatever "tavern" means to you.

  • 📅Due Date: Thursday, August 21, 2025 1:59 AM CDT

    • This event is also listed on the calendar.
  • ✏️Prize Info: ⁠⚒ Build Contest Overview

  • 🏆Special Prize: Entrants for the top 3 submissions earn +1 charm slot and a free Fermentation Barrel charm.

📝General Updates

  • 🎃Pumpkins can now be carved in a stonecutter. This does not drop seeds like carving by hand does.

  • 🟩Slime and magma cube heads now drop more reliably. This also fixes them never dropping from the Wishbone charm.

  • 💎Boundary Shards can no longer be used in uncorruptible locales and don't get you stuck in the disenchant mode once used at the Arcanum.

  • 🌍Recasting Aphelion of Earth's spell for Curse of the Forbidden Ones now moves the existing obelisk without resetting sacrifice progress. This is generally useful, but notably also makes it usable on Corrupted Footage charms.

😨An Ominous Weekend

Hey everyone! The Arcanum research team has been quietly investigating some recent ongoings, and we have news from them to share with you. Something ominous is stirring in Silver Springs, bringing both danger and new possibilities!

🌀Surges & Boundaries

Hey everyone! The Arcanum research team has been quietly investigating some recent ongoings, and we have news from them to share with you. Something ominous is stirring in Silver Springs, bringing both danger and new possibilities!

🌀Surges & Boundaries

  • All content listed here launches Saturday, July 26th, 2025 at 12:00 AM PDT, alongside the Ominous Rush.

The ominous energies have paved the way for the return of Runic Surges, allowing for the acquisition of Boundary Shards, small pieces of the condensed Boundary Fragments we collected during the Runic Shift event.

These Surges are mostly similar to those from the Runic Shift, but with a few key differences. A full overview of this system can be viewed here.

  • 😨 Entering an uncorrupted Rune Locale with Bad Omen active consumes it to trigger a Runic Surge. Multiple locales can surge at once.

  • 🔋 Surges have 5 difficulty Tiers, determined by the initiating Bad Omen level, increasing the general danger and difficulty of the event.

  • ⚔️ If the apex is slain, all participants receive Runes and 1-5 Boundary Shards, scaling with the Surge Tier.

  • 💎Boundary Shards have many uses, such as:

    • ⚫ The boundary void below the Arcanum accepts offerings, consuming Shards to corrupt certain items, such as Runic Tomes into Corrupted Tomes.

    • 📖 Use Shards at the Arcanum to wipe enchants from items.

    • ... And more! Read the full post for details.

  • ⚠️ As you may expect, it's hard for our small team to properly playtest content like this, so please be patient with the early balance of Surges, and work with us to make them an enjoyable, permanent feature of SSS.

⏫Surges will begin alongside this weekend's Ominous Rush, which has the following bonus effect:

  • Ominous Vaults, Pillager raids, and Tier III+ Surges can award Badges of Valor.

📝General Updates

  • Impetus of Dionysus now gives 50% mcMMO XP for hand brewing.

  • Ear Collector no longer gives ear stacks for non-hostile mob kills. This was never really intended, but we let it go on too long, so apologies there.

Thanks so much to the submitters. We've done the prizes a bit differently this time, using voucher items to redeem your silver, Trial points, and/or charm slot. These vouchers are in the reward bundles, which are in your ender chest, or in your inventory if your ender chest is full.

‼️Parkour Rush Notice

Just wanted to make something clear about the Parkour Rush now that it's over - the loot chest reset from the rush is permanent, not just for the rush. If you've already beaten any parkours, you can now go beat them again whenever you feel like it! Only catch is Raceway won't give a charm slot again. Apologies that this was unclear.

📝General Updates

Hey everyone! I know the pings have been frequent lately but we’ve been getting a lot done. 😎 Got another batch of updates and fixes for you. As always, report any feedback or issues. Thanks!

Socketing:

  • Horse armor, wolf armor, and harnesses can now be socketed.

    • All can be increased to 11 armor and 2 armor toughness, the same as Diamond Horse Armor.

    • Horse and wolf armor can hold 4 stat gems, while harnesses can hold 6. Gems of Agility socketed into harnesses instead increase fly speed.

  • Gems of Tenacity now additionally grant +5% stun resist. This means full tenacity armor reduces stun durations by 80%.

⬆️Chase the Skies Update & Live Server Map

Hey everyone, we've got a couple nice updates for you today!

👻Chase the Skies Update - 1.21.7

  • The server is now live with 1.21.7, the Chase the Skies game drop! This drop primarily includes the Happy Ghast, a new tame Ghast variant that you can fly around with friends. See here for more info.

  • We've made Happy Ghasts meaningfully faster than in vanilla. Note that Dried Ghasts can be crafted with 8 Ghast Tears and Soul Sand.

  • Saddles are now craftable, so we no longer buy them in the Server Shop.

  • The two new music discs work with Walkman leggings.

  • We currently have the locator bar enabled. Let us know what you think of it.

🗺️Live Server Map

  • At long last, we've launched an SSS live map! It can be found at https://map.sssminecraft.com/. A quick overview of the features:

  • There are maps for spawn, the three survival worlds, and the creative world, which you can swap between in the sidebar.

  • You can see who's online in the sidebar, and the map live updates with player positions and world changes.

  • Hovering shows coords in the bottom left, and the controls in the top-left can toggle visibility of players, world borders, and the world spawn.

📝Other Updates

  • Aphelion of Earth's tendril attacks and Abomination are now treated as magic attacks, letting them synergize with Impetus of Hecate.

  • Vanilla rendering updates allow glows to work with shaders, which importantly means you can see ores sensed with Abyssal Armor with shaders on!

  • When Transmuting to clay, you now get clay balls instead of clay blocks.

📝General Updates

Hey everyone, just a few quick general updates.

  • ⬆️We plan to update to 1.21.7 within the next day or two. Get your updated clients ready!

    • Note that saddles will be removed from the shop when we do this, as they are now craftable. Sell any you have off now if you'd like!

  • 🌍The resource world has received a few updates

    • Biome warps now generate with more randomness, and the warp names are now more generic. For example. "ResCold" warps to a semi-random cold biome, like frozen peaks, and "ResForest" warps to a random large forest, like jungles or dark forests. The desert warp is still a mainstay.

    • Warps should be much more likely to generate further apart from each other.

    • This is experimental, so let us know what you think of the general idea!

  • 🌏Your creative world inventory now persists between visits.

  • 😴Insomnia no longer resets if you die in non-survival scenarios.

  • 🍯Signs can now be unwaxed by right-clicking with an axe. This returns the honeycomb 50% of the time.

  • 🛡️Impetus of Athena effects are rebalanced. Warfare attacks now damage in a cone, while ambush only empowers the attack used to exit stealth, so it is now single-target, but it temporarily shreds 50% of their armor. Stare additionally costs +1 Aegis versus players.

  • 🗓️Reminder that the Greenhouse build contest is due next weekend, and that you can submit entries as early as you'd like!

Hey everyone - big weekend ahead! Aside from the PvP events, there's new charms, the Lucky Rush, and general updates with an upcoming build contest FYI.

📿Charms

There are 12 new charms to find:

  • 💎The Valor Shop has 5 new charms. They are listed in-game in ‘/valor charms’, but a few examples:

    • 🗿Bobblehead: Gain the Luck effect permanently while wearing your own head.

    • 💧Prince Rupert's Drop: Your hazard enchants activate with massive power when struck from behind.

    • 🗝️Spare Key: Your first charm slot can be modified even while your charms case is locked.

  • 💀The Crypt Trial Shop sells the Metal Detector, which extracts scrap in place of junk when brushing suspicious sediments.

  • 🎈The Boardwalk sells Balloon Animal, which causes allied mobs to pop on death, applying a radial stun and damage. Tragic!

  • There are 5 other charms findable either around spawn or via gameplay, including the Sanguine Phial. Keep an eye out!

Some old charms have also been updated:

  • 🍵Coffee Beans: Reworked! Gain speed, haste, and double experience during sunrise.

  • 🏌️Golf Club: Reworked! Your attacks gain range, ignore some mob knockback resist, and deal double knockback to small targets.

  • 🔻Nerfs: Reduced Adventurer's Tricorne boss payout to 250 silver. Made Hourglass Sands only work on utility items. Reduced Runic Compass proc rate.

✨Lucky Rush

The rush starts in just a few! In addition to the Core Bonuses, this rush has two main benefits:

  • +3 Luck all weekend. Simple but effective - and good for hunting for charms!,

  • Lucky Events can randomly activate to amplify certain events. Keep an eye out!,

📝General Updates

  • ⚒️FYI, we'll announce a new build contest Sunday night PST which awards a Charm slot. We're delaying the start to avoid distracting from weekend events.

  • 🔨Impetus of Hephaestus gem stats decay when striking with a non-artisan weapon, and Luck caps at 8 stacks.

  • Impetus of Zeus grants charge from landing shots, has improved slow down physics, and slows you while aiming a spyglass.

  • ☁️Terados's maps have waypoints for A Vexing Situation's quest locations, and a subtle leaf trail guides the path between them, to aid players new to the quest.

  • 🐶More allied mobs grant mcMMO taming XP and benefit from taming passives. This ignores most humanoid allies, like Paradigm of Greed contractors, but works for an Avatar of Phantoms horde, for example.

✏️Miscellaneous

  • The mcMMO archery, mace, and trident skills now grant far more experience.,

    • This was changed during the River Rush, but is a general change we're testing. Let us know what you think of it.

  • The sell price of tropical fish has been increased dramatically (from 200 silver to 2000), but ones dropped by slain tropical fish are no longer sellable.
