Changelog
v3.0.1 · 2026-09-03
- 🖥️ Windows app (VoidLands World): official launcher with login, news, server select and auto-update. Log in and play in one click. Get it at voidlands.world/download.
v3.0.0 · 2026-08-30
- 🪙 Economy & trade: gold as currency, direct P2P trades with anti-scam and a marketplace to buy and sell items (sells even offline).
- 🧱 Stone & metal base: EVERY piece upgrades wood → stone (masonry) → metal (plates), with real models and durability, use the hammer (which wears).
- 🏭 Industry & self-sufficiency: farming (plant/water/harvest), furnace to smelt metal, anvil, recycler and an auto-turret for defense.
- 🔥 Physics-driven raids: when hit, pieces crack and throw shards (Rapier) until they break; doors/walls/towers hold attackers, and you can't loot through a wall.
- 🕯️ Wall torch gives real light at night and burns wood; new base pieces (ramp, hatch, high wall, half-wall, watchtower, palisade, spike trap).
- 🕷️ Night spider that drops poison (with a use: poisoned arrows and traps), crossbow + an arrow that truly flies, and dropped items glow to find easily.
- 🤝 Social: private message by @name (arrives even offline) and clan co-build (members build together on the base).
- 🖥️ UI: live language switch (no reload), double-click to equip in the inventory, durability bar on the hotbar, and this site now documents ALL items, recipes and pieces with stats and images.
v2.0.0 · 2026-08-26
- ⚔️ Classes that truly change gameplay: health, speed, strength and a special ability (regeneration, stamina, fortress, predator, adaptation).
- 🛡️ Real wearable armor: helmet, chest, legs and feet (leather, copper, iron, gold) cut incoming damage; a shield blocks in the off-hand and gloves complete the set.
- 🧱 Tiers with their own look: upgrading turns a piece into matte grey stone or blue steel, not just a darker shade.
- 🏗️ Second floor: stack foundations over walls and build two-story houses, with a roof (automatic or manual) and stairs giving access upstairs.
- 🪜 Stairs became a smooth 45° ramp (walk right up) and you can move furniture (chest, barrel, bed, table) in ghost mode, no hammer and no disassembly.
- 🔨 Build mode on the hotbar: with the hammer in hand, keys 1–6 pick the piece; the ceiling and floor above turn invisible while you work below.
- 🤝 Clans and friends: add friends by name, create or join a tagged clan, chat in clan chat and share your base doors.
- 🗺️ World map (M key) with icons for ore, coal, apple trees, loot, fishing and animal habitats, with tooltips and a legend.
- 🍎 Apples on trees: some trees grow apples in the canopy. Right-click to harvest, or chop the tree if you're holding an axe.
- 🐟 Fish that truly swim and leap (with fishing), and the full fauna was remodeled: 6 animals rebuilt, re-animated and with per-individual color variation.
- 🧍 New rigged character with 29 animations, and your customization (skin, hair, shirt, pants, eyes, boots) now shows on your character in-game.
- 🎒 Gear worn on the body (backpack, belt, shield, gloves), the backpack expands your inventory, and sleeping now lays your character on the bed for real.
- 🎥 Third-person camera that follows the mouse (shooter-style), with sensitivity in Settings, and you can switch between isometric and third-person anytime.
- 🖥️ Drag-and-drop inventory (capacity per backpack) and a revamped HUD: hunger becomes a chicken leg, a side rail with hotkeys and a custom cursor.
- 🛠️ Behind the scenes: god mode for admins and a world editor with terrain, roads, props and NPCs (dialogue/shop), zones and patrols.
- 🌐 Rebuilt site with the game's identity: biome dioramas, a complete craft list (74 recipes) generated from real data, illustrated ingredients, item↔recipe links and tier-tinted armor icons.
