Server Update 4.6 | Winter

Hello everyone!

We're excited to announce the following new enhancements for the festive winter update on CatCraft!

Winter themed Spawn

Thank you Scooberty for decorating spawn to celebrate the festive winter season!

It's snowing!

Soft snow has begun to fall in cold biomes in the resource world and at spawn. Rainstorms have been replaced with vigorous but harmless snowstorms. Use the command /snow to toggle the snow particles.

XMAS Advent Calendar

For the next 24 days counting towards Xmas, everyone can redeem a free advent gift every day inside the train at spawn.

Note: When you open an advent calendar gift, please ensure to take all the items from the chest, as gifts can only be opened once!

Gift Presents

  1. Place a chest on your claimed land.
  2. Place a sign on the chest, and type [Gift] on the first line.
  3. On the third line, type your friends player IGN.
  4. Exit out of the sign.
  5. Congratulations, you have created a gift chest for your friend! The player whose name is matching the lines below [Gift] can open your present, however, they must also have access to chests in your claim. If you would like to gift a present to a friend that isn't trusted with your claims, simply place the chest outside your claim in the wilderness. Additionally, if you would like to secretly give a present to someone, place the chest in non-claimed land, and only type [Gift] on the sign, and leave the other lines blank.

Tip: Add multiple friends by simply adding their names on the third and fourth lines of the sign.
