Looking back at 2023

Happy new year! Once more, a year has passed, another wipe has started, with a new season approaching.

The seed & world download
Our world was generated using the following seed: 4850554720057509363
As every year, you will be able to download the entire world, although you may need a fast internet connection and a lot of space.
Now, let’s talk about what comes next.
Last year, we didn’t update from 1.16.5, because Mojang’s release cycle and support from both Forge & mod developers made it hard to reach a consensus for a good version to focus on.
It seems that Mojang has found favour in developing more minor releases for the last major versions – within less than half a year, 1.20 has already had four small offshoots, with the fifth round the corner – but we’re eager to update from our good old 1.16.5 and rough testing already began a month ago.
We’ll keep you updated on our process in the announcements channel on our Discord. Please don’t ask about it every other day.
