Alright, with the big release in T-3 hours, we’re gonna get into a preview.
You heard it right, Minetown’s new Main server is being released tonight. This new world comes with tons of new features, all of which will be noted below. So, let’s get into it;
First off, the current map size is 10,240 blocks in diameter(5,120 radius). While this may seem small, for the current community size, along with prepping for future updates with terrain generation, we wanted to keep the starting world smaller. If an update comes where terrain is changed and/or space becomes extremely limited, we will expand the map, but that will be at staff discretion.
Second, kits for donors are currently enabled, with some caveats. For the first few weeks/maybe a month of the server’s release, kits will be a bit different. The changes are outlined in the spoiler below.

Third, the entire spawn was custom built by our build team, and with it, there’s plenty of easter eggs to be found. If you explore spawn you’ll definitely find some interesting things, and be sure to give BT members a huge thanks.
Fourth, cosmetics have been added for the new world! You may now buy keys from our donation shop at
http://minetown.net/donate , and use those keys in game with ‘/uc treasure’ to unlock neat pets, particle effects, mounts, suits and more! These keys will also be given to top voter, and at events!
Fifth, there is now a forum section titled ‘Main’, which the first post for will be bug reports. Please make threads pertaining to the Main server there. This section can be found
here.
