Celebrating EarthMC's 10-year anniversary, we're bringing you a very special gameplay update. Available today, players can travel to the moon. Craft a rocket, load it with hydrogen fuel and make sure to bring enough oxygen bottles to make it back alive. Traveling to the moon won't be easy, but towns creating outposts on the moon will soon realize the riches that await below the moon's surface.
EarthMC turned 10 years old on 21 August 2026. I'm so grateful for the community and everything you've accomplished throughout the years. Insane bases, long-lasting nations, big and small towns, drama and a whole lot of larp. In celebration of this anniversary, everyone who signed on the day has received a special Globe badge.
For the first time since 2022, EarthMC is resetting to a brand new map. We call the update Terra Nostra. Let's take a look at some recent updates.
For the first time since 2022, the server is resetting with a brand new map - Terra Nostra. Early access being April 17 2026 before public release on May 1 2026. As we are approaching release, we want to reveal balancing changes that are going to affect players in one way or another.
Above is the first ever gameplay screenshot from Terra Nostra. I'm looking forward to share more map details in the months to come. As previously announced, early access begins April 17 2026 for everyone with Premium. The server opens to the public May 1 2026.
With the reset coming up, we're introducing major gameplay changes early in order to test and make adjustments before launch. The updates mentioned below are live on Terra Aurora today. This allows us to gather important community feedback and measure impact in a lower-risk environment before introducing Terra Nostra.
This blog post consists of two sections. staff changes, and new features
Pursuits are a new objective system, allowing players to complete in a variety of categories for rewards.
Every pursuit is tracked over the course of a month, then reset when a new cycle begins. Top performers earn rewards automatically.
I'm excited to announce the next chapter of EarthMC, our third map reset since the server started almost nine years ago. It will open to the public next year May 1st, 2026. More details will surface in the coming year, but I want to properly communicate the reset well in advance in order to be as transparent as possible about the process. Resets are rare and big deal for everyone in the community.
Maybe you've played earthmc for years. Maybe you came here for the first time — perhaps angry at the server but amused by the content, after watching dupers dupe for the greater good.
Server staff recently got reports from a mayor claiming someone was trusted in their town without the mayor having added that player as trusted themselves. Trusted rank gives full access to the town and can potentially have devastating consequences. After investigating further, a malicious client mod was discovered, allowing remote command execution on targets. Let's take a closer look.
Hello everyone, Greed here. I have been working on a few features, along with ways to bring 1.20 related content to EarthMC. Below I detail what has arrived, along with some future plans.
It is now possible to invite players to the server using a personalized domain, formatted as username.earthmc.net. Players joining through your personal domain address will automatically be added to your town.
Recent blog updates are now shown in-game. Updates will show in tab and automatically disappear after two weeks. Server fetches https://earthmc.net/blog/atom.xml once an hour.
For those of you astute enough, you may have noticed that a large update to the Quarters feature has been undergoing development. After a few weeks I'm excited to let you all know that it's finally ready for you to try for yourself on Terra Aurora!
Hey everyone, Greed here. It's time for a new update! Here's what's new:
Fruitloopins has created a plugin that allows you to create and sell apartments within your town. There are also some plot types other than apartments listed in the plugin's documentation, but keep in mind that the shop type is currently non-functional on EarthMC. You can however set the underlying Towny plot as a shop type and the quarter owner will be able to create a shop within the quarter regardless of the quarter's type.
Overclaim, the ability under certain circumstances to claim over already claimed chunks, will come to EarthMC early next year. This change will be made in order to balance gameplay, increase map longevity and combat the issue of dead towns squatting land. The topic of overclaim has been debated both internally and within the community for the past few months. The community deserves know what's behind this decsion, how overclaim will actually work and why it will benefit the server. This change does not affect towns with 88 or less chunks claimed (counting 8 claims for 1 resident and 80 nation bonus). Overclaiming will be introduced 2024-01-01. A grace period will start this 2023-10-01 in order to make a smooth transition. More details below.
Hello everyone, Fix here. It's time for an update! Here's what's new:
After almost 6 years online, 1 000 000+ unique players and 600 years of combined playtime, I’m incredibly happy to announce the next chapter of EarthMC.
I made a server trailer. Thanks to everyone who helped!
