Game modes, difficulty settings, thirst and all kinds of water💦
Hello Minilanders!⛏️
We have a lot of news coming to you about the development of the game, lots of new stuff for every type of player to enjoy!🤗
New items and what to use them for!🥤
You can get salt water from an ocean🌊 by using a bucket or a cup (new item yay!) which was added in this update. Sweet water is acquirable by collecting it with a bucket from the enchanted dimension 🧝♂️ or by boiling the salt water in a furnace.🔥
Additionally a new water distributor enables storing sweet water and dispensing it at any given time (up to 8 cups storage wise).📠 Bucket holds as much as 3 cups but you can’t drink out of it. Cups can also be stacked as well as a great number of other items so you can hold many of them in your inventory.🤓
Introducing, thirst😫
Thirst works the same way as food - it gradually falls until it reaches 0, then the player starts receiving damage. The difference is however that regenerating health uses food points, but water level won’t get reduced (a little less to worry about!).🚱
Modes and difficulty levels 🎮
Survival mode is the standard one that’s always been there. In the creative one however we get access to all the items which we can add to our inventory when we want! We also can’t die💀 meaning when our health points go down to zero, nothing will happen and we can peacefully continue with what we were doing.👼 Separate from that, there’s also the ability to choose different difficulty levels (no monsters, easy, normal, hard). No monsters means everything else is the same, the only thing that changes is that when it’s night; the monsters won’t spawn.👺 Easy difficulty means less damage received and more food, water and health points gained.😌 Hard mode is the opposite of easy and has a purpose to give you more challenge if you like to fight with monsters.⚔
“Localization”
We are also working on localizing the game and soon there will be much more languages available to enjoy the game in!🥳 That’s all the news from us (just for now 😉), we hope you enjoyed this update and are excited for the things to come!
If you are as excited as we are, come talk with us on the Discord!
This time the theme of our works is magic and enchanted objects! 🎩✨ We have gone to great lengths to create a whole new dimension for you to explore in our Miniland game!
A new enchanted dimension ✨
This month, much of our work has been focused on creating a new area to explore, mine, harvest new plants and fight scary monsters! The passage to it leads you through a portal that you will be able to create 👏
We have made every effort to refine the new dimension as much as possible! Large magic mushrooms, magic trees, grass, water to give the right atmosphere, lava - all this will create a unique environment that we hope will delight you 🤩.
New objects in-game 🪑
That's not all ❗ The game will also feature brand new materials for building furniture, walls or floors - which will allow you to build even better buildings.
Are you curious if something else will appear? Of course 🙂 To craft some magical objects, you will also need an enchanted crafting table! To create them, you will need the right magical objects and raw materials - including the new "Obsidian", which is a rather fragile but extremely powerful raw material - and as a result, you will get a unique opportunity to create other magical objects too! Among them, a soup of magic mushrooms that gives extra life 🍄.
All-new monsters 👹
The new monsters appearing in the Enchanted Dimension will be as interesting as the location itself 😎 They will be :
👻 Ghost - only appears when it is close to the player, it is impossible to attack it from afar. You are left with a skirmish in a direct confrontation 👊
🧱 Mimic - Hides in the walls in the enchanted dimension, reveals itself when you hit it.
🔫 Cultist - Shoots several projectiles at once, charging his projectiles continuously. In an ongoing battle he will be able to fire fewer projectiles, but after a long pause he will be able to attack the player with more of them, creating a salvo!
Keep your eyes peeled and be careful ⛑️
Other enhancements and novelties added to the game:
- A new weapon : spear that has a large damage and the ability to throw it
- Better floor system. Floor now adjusts to the walls built instead of sticking outside the houses.
Thank you for being with us, and we invite you to join our Discord! There you will be able to talk with both the game's creator and other players interested in similar game topics 👇
We also encourage you to add the Miniland game to your Wishlist. That way you won't miss any information about our game! 👌
It's high time to attack you with another dose of knowledge on Miniland development.
For today we have prepared a lot of different kinds of new gameplay elements - from the environment of our map to completely new monsters :) A real rarity for any fan.
LET'S BEGIN!
The first and very interesting issue is spiders 🕷️ and the ability to craft weapons from them and fully functional goblins :
Spiders 🕷️ appear in the most convenient environment for them - the underground. They are extremely dangerous, cunning and have an "explosive" character 💥 Literally 😎 After their death they mercilessly explode thus inflicting damage on us. But to give you something in return, you have the opportunity to take from them an explosive substance that will allow you to build a bomb. 💣
Goblins 👺 are very interesting and definitely important characters in our game. They appear every few days, right after laying down new biomes. Since they will not have any shelter once we approach them, they will follow us. In the game there is an option to build them a bed 🛏️, which they will take ownership of after we lead them to it. From there, it's a straightforward way to raise their satisfaction level by building them a nice house with furniture that matches their tastes! Remember - the higher the goblin's satisfaction, the better offers you’ll get 💰 The items they sell will be directly related to the profession a particular goblin has, so it's important to treat each of them as well as possible. As if that wasn't enough, some of the items are only available to buy from goblins and can't be obtained in any other way (e.g. pumpkin seeds).
Raise the satisfaction level of your goblins and enjoy fantastic trade offers!
Next in line are changes to the UI windows, facilitation and the overall look of the map :
- We have adapted the entire UI of the game to larger monitors, so that everything is more readable for you. - We've redesigned the furnace in such a way that it doesn't burn objects immediately, but as time passes. Of course, we also added all-new fantastic animations and effects :) - We increased the number of objects in one stack from 8 to 16 - Ability to build vertical doors - Now only part of the biomes is random, the rest is adjusted so that we have the greatest possible variety of terrain
At the very end we left the biggest surprise that will eminently catch your eye ! Water in the background of the game ! 🌊
So far, only the steady color was visible in the background. We decided to give you more fun and a sense of boundlessness - the sea. 🌊 No more great emptiness, from now on there will be something to look at!

Devlog #1 New monsters and tools
Hello Players! 👋
How are you? We hope you are fine and are ready for a whole new dose of information about our MINILAND game!
Ready? Let's start ❗
There are many tools in the game that we need to expand and protect our land. Among others, these are:
Sword
Axe
Pickaxe
Slingshot and more
SHEARS FOR SHEARING SHEEP 🐑 joined the group of these tools! But don't worry, that's not all - in addition to the possibility of obtaining wool, there is also a durability of the tool you are using. So be careful what and how you do as any tool you use in the game will break after long use. 💔
In addition to new tools, Miniland also has a new monster that threatens our land:
Mummy. The mummy will appear on sand biomes and will attack us with fireballs to scare us away from its territory! 🔥
We've also started work on Goblin 😈 NPCs we'll be building rooms for, and we'll talk more about them in the next devlogs.
We make every effort to ensure that you enjoy the game in every aspect, including the visual experience. We've added a lot of cool ambient effects to make it much easier for you to get into the atmosphere of our game.
Imagine it: The flickering lights of a torch, a path through an endless clearing full of flowers and a skeleton coming out from around the corner … ☠️
Fantastic, right?
Remember that you decide what your world will look like! 💪
Other changes:
Gamepad support added
Improved optimization, allowing more mobs in one area
Bug fixes
