Nether Overhaul:
Fiery Upgrade Beneath Our Feet
The Glimmerthorn Gate has been completed thanks to The Friendly Zoologist (TFZ), transforming it into both a striking landmark and a daring challenge. The upgrade introduces a dramatic design flourish at the top, a single-block opening for any player brave enough to attempt the Super Sonic achievement. Equal parts beauty and danger, the portal now stands as a bold gateway to the Nether, living up to its fitting motto: “Born in fire, blooming in shadow.”
Once through the portal, you’ll find the massive expansion of Nether tunnels spearheaded by Xrogg himself. The North, South, and East corridors are now complete and cleared for safe air travel, making trips across the Nether faster and far less perilous. TFZ has also made shopping at the Humble Mall easier than ever with the addition of a convenient self-serve railway station. Each Nether hall has been a true community effort. A labor of love with many Humbugs pitching in to clear tunnels, build safe roads, and contribute materials. And a quick reminder to everyone traveling the highways: if you haven’t labeled your portal in the Nether yet, please do!
Not-so-Humble Campaigns Underway!
With the March 10th election for Humble Project Manager (HPM) fast approaching, the atmosphere around spawn has taken on a distinctly political flavor. New candidates have entered the field, and what began as a friendly race is quickly heating up as apparent rivalries start to form. Campaign signs have sprung up all over the area. Of course, not everyone is thrilled with the signs. Some Humbugs have begun wondering whether all these signs actually pass HumbleCraft code. But with no HPM currently in office, there’s no one around to enforce it, leaving the debate very much alive until the ballots are cast.
Current candidates are:
Zango Banjo: a humble raccoon on a mission to discover all the server locations and create the infrastructure to invite others on her adventures!
Jester, CEO of Resin Inc: bringing the fun and experience to building infrastructure!
Naute (represented by Gizario): Is committed to making water travel safer (necessary with all these pirates around!) and ruling with an iron…fin? shell?
Mossy (represented by Cosmic Dragon): the strong, silent type. More of a figurehead than active leader if that’s more your HPM type.
Chill Wild Bill: a silent observer all around the server. Is he watching in judgement? Making sure builds are OSHA safe? Seeing what materials you need so he can help? Maybe voting for him will provide us answers.
LC Stout, Post Master General: Her main focus is streamlining communications, making sure there are beds and ample light everywhere Humbugs travel, and beautifying the server with flowers and custom trees!
Coming soon! Please check the election post for the candidate answers to our questionnaire.
Humbugs on the Hunt:
The Golem Has Been Moved
The Copper Golem Hunt continues! TFZ successfully tracked down the last hiding spot where Chief tucked the golem away at the Guillotine Head Shop in the Humble Mall. Now the hunt begins again! TFZ has hidden the golem somewhere new on the server. No hints just yet, but she has confirmed one thing: it’s no longer in the shopping district. Happy hunting, Humbugs!
