December Quest Shop: Goodbye Duck, Hello Gingerbread!

The Rubber Ducky costume has left the quest shop, and will never be available again. We're sure the 911 people that claimed him will use him well!

For December, we're offering Gingerbread Costume at 999 coins. One coin less than the duck, as it's Christmas season after all.

The next quest shop update will be January 1st, so make sure to claim the new costume before then!

Leaderboards Update

The leaderboards are being rebuilt. The in-game data source is seperate from the leaderboard, and as such, everything is being tracked and counted as usual.

We'll post another update once we have a time estimate on completion.

Version Support Update

Minecraft 1.14 will be released on December 10th, 2019. As part of our previous, current and next support system, this means we will drop support for Minecraft 1.12 on that day.

Minecraft 1.14 brings many performance and crash fixes, and should resolve many concerns that is holding back current 1.12 players from updating.

There is no current 1.15 beta, and we don't expect to see much about this until 2020. Once the 1.15 beta period starts, we will support this as soon as we can.

For those on 1.13, we suggest you make sure you update to the current 1.13.1 (or 1.13.3 for iOS) for the best experience.

Current supported versions: 1.12, 1.13 and 1.14 beta.
