ITS TIME, SEASON 2 IS HERE.

This season, we hoped to bring a visual experience that really takes Minehub to the next step similar to how the changes felt coming from Open Beta 2 into Season 1. Some of these things are super bonus, while other serve a practical or necessary purpose.

Game logo animations have made the server feel so good to play because it really feels so much cleaner when starting a game. We are hoping you enjoy it as much as we do.

Starting this season we hope to make it clearer to viewers of a video or streamer exactly where they can play the game they are watching. We decided introducing a new bar above UI elements of every game makes sense for this purpose.

Victory and Game Over felt very sloppy in our opinion, so as a part of the Season 2 update we are introducing new Victory and Game Over visuals through a new animation and image for each.

In Season 1, we debuted the Coin Rush event to end the season. In season 2, this system is here in full force, allowing custom coin multipliers, events, etc., for individual games at individual times. This will be a great addition to the season and will allow us to do some cool rewards for playing during Game Sessions like 1.5x multiplier.

One of the highest requested features of our economy is to see what is in a capsule. In Season 2, this is now coming! You can see what is in the capsule, as well as a percent chance to pull that specific item! Big note, as of now you need to actually have the capsule in your inventory. We are working towards a solution to make it so you can preview capsules prior to purchasing them, but for now, this will be a great addition to Minehub’s economy.

Never hear “relog and check your mailbox” again! In Season 2, we are bringing live delivery to mailboxes. Purchases may still take some time to go through but you no longer need to relog!

Pagination was broken on the mailbox menu! It is now fixed and if you have multiple pages of mail, you can click through and claim what you want!

Build Battle is being closed permanently as of Season 2. We have data on most played games, and it is clear there is not enough interest to continue updates for this game.
Build Battle Sceneries were the core of updateability for Build Battle. Unfortunately, our stats show that Build Battle Sceneries have been widely unpopular. For this reason, it is unwise for us to invest in these anymore. One of Minehub’s requirements for permanent games is updateability. Since we cannot update Build Battle on a consistent schedule, and since there are not enough players interested in the game, it is unrealistic for us to spend resources on maintaining this game long term.
All Build Battle Scenery purchases will be paid back to the purchasers, and in the future if we use these for anything else, they will be kept in that new use-case.
