We’ve got a treat in store for you today. Pun intended — it’s the return of the STORE! Not seen in the wild since last fall, the store is packing a few things you’ll recognize, like fireworks and stained glass. There are also fancy new recipe packs. But the thing we’re most excited about is a new feature called Blueprints.
Blueprints will make a master builder out of anyone by providing step-by-step instructions for building fantastic structures in your world. The best part is once you start one, anyone in the world can participate for an fun team building experience. This current version of blueprints is just the beginning — we’re planning on doing a lot with this system in the future, and we’d love to hear your thoughts about how you’d like to see it grow.
A word about store currency: we won’t be accepting real money transactions until the game goes free later this year. Until then, there’s a button in the store that will give you 10 free coins daily. Also, everyone will start with 200 coins in their account!
Lastly, we added two frequently requested features: 1) Sleep through the night! 2) Share stuff with friends by dropping items into special loot bags.
Thanks for your continued support and feedback, everyone!
