Creatifriends!
We’re back with another exciting update, R7. First up, now you finally have the choice to play as a female in Creativerse! Time to get in touch with your feminine side and start adventuring with an extra X chromosome (digitally speaking, of course). Speaking of characters, I’ll give a shout out to customization — we know a lot of you want it, so I wanted to mention it is on our roadmap (could be a while, though — so much to get done first!).
By popular request, we’ve added signs! You can craft and place wooden signs to display all your deepest hopes, fears and desires. Or maybe just a big “MY STUFF – KEEP OUT!” warning. But we didn’t stop there. We also added labels for teleporters and chests, which should come in handy for those of you who like to set up chest rooms made entirely of chests.
This update also introduces the first round of admin tools we’ve been promising for a while now. Worlds now have owners, who can promote players to admins, mods, builders or visitors. Those with appropriate privileges can mute, kick or even ban troublesome players. It’s the beginning of a larger system we plan to roll out which will give you full control of your world and let you open it up to anyone without risking griefer chaos.
For our builders, while we don’t have any new standard blocks this time (next time — promise!), we do have some new windows, including stone and barred varieties for sending a message in rougher neighborhoods.
Lastly, don’t miss the new death animation. We know you’ll be dying to check it out! Hahaha…I’m so, so sorry.
Thanks for being awesome!
