Small fixes and changes in the middle of a wipe: what was fixed, what changed and when.
2026
The store website was updated: shop.spookytime.net. The design is almost the same and will change step by step.
New payment methods: SBP, Russian cards, Mastercard cards from any country, crypto (USDT, LTC, BTC, ETH and more) and CryptoBot in Telegram.
Visa cards don’t work yet: they’re promised soon, until then you can pay with CryptoBot.
Bugs found on the new site are rewarded with bonuses.
The server resource pack on the 1.21 anarchies was updated: many menus got new textures, and the anarchies look much better.
It’s the first resource pack update this big, so bugs and rough edges are rewarded with good bonuses.
The main server menu (/menu) and server help (/help).
All warps (/warps), random teleport (/rtp) and region help (/rg-help).
Recipes (/crafts) and all kits (/kits).
Free tokens (/tokens), daily rewards (/daily), salary (/salary) and free experience (/exp).
Social media contests: /конкурсы (“contests”).
The auction (/ah), cases (/case) and buying emeralds (/shop).
The donor menu (/donmenu) and donor rank descriptions (/donate).
The fisherman’s menu (/warp fisher) and the miner’s menu.
The menus of SpongeBob (/warp SpongeBob), the Soul Collector (/warp soulcollector), the executioner (/warp palach) and the Healer (/warp stash).
Synced duels came to the anarchies. It’s a brand-new system with more features and easier opponent search.
Bugs and rough edges in the new duels are rewarded with bonuses.
The Fire Tornado became the Fireball and was completely reworked: it shoots a ball that damages opponents, gives them negative effects and badly damages armor.
The ball blows up the world, but leaves other players’ claims, events and traps alone.
Traps are down to 7 kinds, each one unique: for example, the Singular trap pulls every nearby opponent inside before it’s placed. See /trap-skins.
The other traps still work for now, but from the wipe only these 7 remain.
Arena regeneration: you can break and build on the PvP arena and the death arena. Blocks and items don’t drop, and the arenas restore themselves after a while.
Armor without Mending breaks much faster than armor with it.
Mending II is a new enchantment: armor with it repairs from experience much faster and more efficiently.
Two Fire Resistance potions combined give Fire Resistance II, which removes the fire effect completely.
Two Invisibility potions combined give Invisibility II, which hides even the white particles.
Trying to escape PvP through water gives you Slowness as you jump in.
Four new mace enchantments: Stupor, Power, Corkscrew and Vampirism, see /ench.
When the dragon dies, all endermen die with it. It flies to the center, blows up part of the fortress and hands out all its resources.
For the first 30 seconds only the top damage dealers can pick up the loot. Then the dragon drops its egg at the very bottom.
For those who like to leave a fight by jumping into the void: Slowness and Wither are applied at the bottom.
The dragon now spawns once a day, at 19:00 Moscow time.
Every update is on both the 1.16.5 and the 1.21.4 anarchies.
End portal frames can now be crafted, see /crafts.
The island has a dungeon with vases that drop very valuable loot.
In the dungeon’s main vault you dig up suspicious sand with brushes, and its loot is better than the vases’. Brushes sometimes drop from the vases.
The Ender world restores itself after blocks are broken or placed: you can’t live there, but it’s great for chorus fruit and farming endermen.
The dragon spawns in the Ender world every day at 16:00 and 21:00 Moscow time. It drops lots of valuable resources, piles of coins and tons of experience.
The dragon egg drops at a random spot on the island. Whoever picks it up instantly gets PvP mode and a glow.
The egg can summon the dragon again at any time of day, but a summoned dragon drops no egg.
A trap or a slab is removed if it gets in a dynamite’s flight path.
No more than 8 regions can overlap at once.
Clicking a nick in chat can now open the player’s profile.
Multi-themes: over a dozen new themes, all free, see /theme.
/rtp while flying no longer gives you blindness and slow falling.
/ignore works across all servers, and you can ignore someone for a set time.
RTP to the Copper Dungeon and Warden City now puts you inside, not outside.
A 25×25 region is sold in /tshop.
Every update is on both the 1.16.5 and the 1.21.4 anarchies.
The open beta of the 1.21 anarchies is live: anyone can join with /an1001beta or /an1002beta.
The goal is to fix every bug before the global summer wipe and the official release of the 1.21 anarchies.
The beta anarchies are synced only with each other, not with the 1.16 anarchies.
Only the resource pack and the Deadly Wagon event are still missing, and that’s a matter of time. If you notice a missing mechanic, write on VK and they’ll try to add it before the wipe.
Every bug found on the 1.21 anarchies earns a double reward.
The 1.16.5 anarchies stay. For the wipe the plan is an even split of 1.16.5 and 1.21.4 anarchies, and then they’ll see.
The AIR-DROP and ALTAR mini-events can be summoned by any player; they’re sold in /tshop special.
The Geyser is a new event: a lava geyser that starts dropping resources after a while. See /events.
The jewel buyer is a separate trader menu where you can hand in unique items.
The butcher buyer takes meat, raw or cooked, from those who like breeding mobs.
Modifiers give even a regular player temporary donor commands like /ec, /fly, /setwarp and /fix. They drop from events and are sold in /tshop and elsewhere; hold one and right-click to activate it.
/fix was reworked: repairs now take resources put into a special menu. If not every slot is filled, the time is recalculated in proportion to the number of items.
/profile shows other players’ profiles, and you can, for example, trade experience with them.
2025
The New Year Miracle is an exclusive event: it drops not just top resources and gifts but tokens too.
The Ded Moroz event is back: it scatters resources, either random items or New Year gifts. See /events.
Ded Moroz at spawn trades New Year gifts for good resources: /warp santa. Next to him stands a tree with garlands and festive music.
SpongeBob, the event portal and the Bikini Bottom map itself got a New Year look.
/tokens was reset: you can take the free tokens again, even if you already did this wipe.
Every /spooky reward can be taken again, with twice the tokens: reward #1 gives 200 instead of 100, and so on for each one.
An exclusive New Year skin for the trap and the slab can be looted at events or bought, see /trap-skins.
30 seconds to choose when you open a case: a boss bar at the top shows how long until the drop is picked automatically.
The case menu always opens, even while another player is opening a case.
Physical keys: right-click almost any case to take its key out, then sell it or hand it over. To put a key back, click the case block with it and it goes straight into the menu.
/rtp in the overworld drops you a bit higher, so you have time to open your elytra and fly off.
Dynamite goes off at a slightly random time: regular dynamite after 3–5 seconds, TNT-White and TNT-Black after 6–8.
Scheduled maintenance for a couple of hours on the night of December 14.
Accounts can be linked to Telegram: /tg on the server or to the @SpookyTimeBot bot.
Linking gives 5,000 tokens per account, see /spooky.
Linking just came out, so bugs found are rewarded.
The login problem some players had over the last couple of days is fully fixed.
Play on the address with the lower ping: neo.spookytime.net or tcp.spookytime.net. These two are the ones that really differ.
.net: spookytime.net, neoprotect.spookytime.net, neo.spookytime.net, tcpshield.spookytime.net and tcp.spookytime.net.
.su: spookytime.su, neo.spookytime.su and tcp.spookytime.su.
.sh: spookytime.sh, neo.spookytime.sh and tcp.spookytime.sh.
.ru: spookytime.ru, neo.spookytime.ru and tcp.spookytime.ru.
The Chaos Pumpkin is a seasonal Halloween event, see /events.
For two weeks every event drops Halloween items: Gummy Eye, Crumble Cookie, Bloody Stew, Caramel Apple and Dracula’s Skull.
Hand them in at /warp treatcollector or through /hellmap for top items from /tshop or a new exclusive trap and slab skin.
All of these items can be found with /ah search.
Some donor commands changed for the sake of game balance.
Elytra wear down while /fly is on, and broken elytra can no longer fly.
Renaming an item costs 5 experience levels, and a unique RGB name costs 10.
Anarchies 217 and 307: no special items work there except Explicit Dust and the trap. These modes have a different texture in the hub.
The Freeze snowball now freezes everyone around, even clanmates, but its effects are shorter.
The Freeze snowball can now be crafted, see /crafts.
The disconnects came from new DDoS methods that hit every server right now. The protection closed the holes one by one.
Things are stable again, the disconnects are fixed.
With a high ping, try neo.spookytime.sh and tcp.spookytime.sh and play on the one with the lower ping.
The wipe was postponed for the first time in the server’s history. There are two main reasons: holes in the anti-cheat and serious problems that are being fixed now.
The team knows quite a few players use banned clients, software and cheats. All anti-cheat holes will be closed soon, and every feature of every cheat will be fixed as it turns up.
The team’s own anti-cheat is almost ready: it’s written entirely from scratch and will let them detect and close any bypass of any cheat.
Big fixes are under way, and many major problems are almost solved.
/event delay shows the time until the next event in a new format, and so does the Telegram bot.
Event times are synced across the whole project: events spawn on different servers 15 minutes apart.
Clicking event coordinates in chat shows not only the distance but also the name of the destination.
The Altar and the mystic chest were removed from the server events and no longer spawn. The mystic can still be bought in /tshop.
The Volcano throws out resources in waves, only while its sound is playing, and far more of them than before.
The Death Chest no longer appears at the regular PvP arena: it spawns only at the death arena now, 4 chests at once.
The Death Chest used to have a single loot level; now it’s random, like at other events.
Every player can now enter the death arena, but not once a chest has opened.
The menu for choosing and buying trap skins was redone and is much easier to use now.
Reinforced obsidian is crafted from regular obsidian and 4 blaze powder. When blown up it turns into regular obsidian, so it protects twice, see /crafts.
Reinforced and crying obsidian were added to /ah search.
Use к (Cyrillic k) instead of zeros: for example /pay nick 10кк or /ah dsell 5кк. It also works in /clan withdraw, /clan invest and /ah sell.
/name resets an item to its standard name if someone spoiled it.
/name now supports RGB colors for good-looking names.
Bikini Bottom is a new seasonal event, see /events.
Every house at the event has a chest with top loot.
There are PvP and PvE zones, so the event suits everyone.
The villain Plankton drops the new special items: the Krabby Patty and the Krabby Patty formula.
SpongeBob trades them for top resources: /warp SpongeBob.
Maintenance got frequent because the server infrastructure is being actively rewritten and almost everything possible is being improved.
Nothing changes for players, but it’s a huge amount of work. Nothing critical is going on.
Work has started on new duels (/duel).
A new seasonal event is coming soon.
For the last two weeks players have reported hacks more often than usual, so everyone is asked to change the password on every account.
Changing your password with /cp gives a few thousand tokens (the amount is random) per account.
Linking an account to VK now also gives a few thousand tokens, see /spooky.
With the account linked to VK, an attacker can’t do anything, even if they learn the password.
Telegram linking is coming soon.
Every hacked account will be returned. Message the team on Discord right away, or Vladyaso on VK.
Those who hack accounts will be found: they go on the project blacklist and lose everything they had.
A special item doesn’t go on cooldown if nobody was caught in its radius.
The crossbow also puts the bow and the trident on cooldown: a miss gives a minimal cooldown, a hit a longer one.
The dragon trap now puts chorus fruit and ender pearls on a cooldown of just 5 seconds.
Knockback for netherite armor was reworked, and food now fills you up much more slowly.
The 1×1 chunk loader can now be crafted, and a new item, the loading membrane, is used in recipes. See /crafts.
The damager block collects experience and coins from mobs, and you take them from its menu (right-click the block).
Through the same menu you can put any sword into the damager block, and it will kill mobs with it.
A creeper egg from the donor shop fits any spawner, and creepers from spawners always spawn charged.
Spawn eggs from /shop always replace the mob in a spawner.
The guardian spawn egg is sold in /shop and drops from events.
An elder guardian spawner stands at 0 0 on every anarchy: the guardians drop coins and silver, more of it the more players are online. The spawner can’t be broken or blown up, and any player can claim it.
You can see a shulker’s contents right on the auction: left-click it and decide in the menu whether to buy.
Shulkers can be found by name: any name, even a colored one, turns up in /ah search, for example /ah search набор для пвп (“PvP kit”).
/buyer now buys magma cream and prismarine shards (they drop from guardians).
The shulker recipe changed, see /crafts.
The Meteor Shower is back and updated: a fallen comet leaves a shard that drops resources, and there are loot chests too.
Special items: the farther a player is from where one is activated, the weaker the effect.
The Freeze snowball stops the target from jumping for a few seconds, with nice particles.
The compass shows the distance to its target in the info bar.
/clan coords: click a teammate’s nick and the compass will point at them in real time, even as they move.
The Easter Bunny is a new seasonal event, see /events.
A new seasonal character, also called the Easter Bunny, waits at /warp rabbit.
The Easter egg is a new special item: it drops from rabbits at the event, and you hand it in at /warp rabbit.
The new event can be tracked in the Telegram bot.
Clans disappeared after a restart: they hadn’t been saved to the database. They can’t be brought back and no rollback would help, but new clans can be created as usual.
The cause was fixed right away, and it won’t happen again.
/компенсация (“compensation”) worked for one day: a random amount of tokens and coins, plus your kit again, even if you had already taken it this wipe.
Scaling maintenance took two nights: the nights of March 26 and March 27.
The goal is far more players without lag: roughly, if 20,000 people could play lag-free before, now it’s 50,000.
Bugs when joining the server are possible. If you notice something that wasn’t there before, report it and get a bonus.
For a couple more days there may be maintenance at night: many server systems were redone for performance, optimization and scaling.
The damager block in /shop, under Valuable items.
Events on all anarchies in the Telegram bot: send /events to the bot.
Auto-mines on all anarchies in the bot: /mines.
The chunk loader is still in the works.
Hot goods in /buyer are now shared by all anarchies.

Stupor for the trident was reworked: its strength depends on the hit distance.
The trident and the crossbow got a cooldown after a hit.
/dm open nick opens a player’s listings on the Donat-Market.
The beacon recipe changed, see /crafts.
Totems now have a 15-second cooldown, as voted.
You can no longer burn ten totems in a row once the fight is lost: the winner has time to finish it and take the loot.
Hits through walls no longer land: the anti-cheat was updated during daytime maintenance and the fix was finished that night.
On January 18, after sync went live, the anarchies stopped letting people in; all items were safe.
On January 22 at 18:00 Moscow time the servers were re-wiped and every purchase since the wipe was given back.
You could take /tokens, your kit and the /spooky rewards again.
/компенсация (“compensation”) gave a random amount of tokens for one day.
The rules were completely rewritten: some were removed, some added, and some punishment terms changed.
They’re now clearer and easier to use. Read them in the rules channel on Discord or in the VK group.
TikToker recruitment for the project team is open, see the recruitment channel on Discord.
The first version of SpookyAntiCheat (SAC) already watches the duels and is coming to the anarchies soon.
Clan leveling of the buyer is on the anarchies.

All the New Year updates run from December 27, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
/ban and /mute from donors only work with a link to proof at the end of the command.
A mute needs a screenshot on imgur.com, a ban needs a video on imgur.com or YouTube (longer than 60 seconds means YouTube only).
Complaint moderators now handle complaints, and answers come quickly.
The updated anti-cheat went on a few anarchies first and then on all of them.
If you got kicked by mistake, a screen recording helps, but you can write without one too.
Two Death Chests: at /warp pvp and /warp arena.

/bonuscase gives a few bonus cases.
The server was down because of a hardware fault at the host. To save time on troubleshooting, the host swapped in new hardware, and the server is up again.
The host doesn’t know the exact cause yet: the old server is being sent to their debugging station. The team is waiting for an answer and will do everything so it doesn’t happen again.
The “All countries” payment method is back on the website. If a payment doesn’t go through, message gamemax directly.
The server got a new auction, and every bug of the old one is fixed.

After the lag the server went down for maintenance and moved to new protection.
It removes lag and disconnects during attacks, and you can now join over mobile internet.
If joining from a phone or a hotspot still fails, message the project owner on VK.
The big maintenance is over, and every problem is fixed.
For the wait, everyone can take their kit and the /spooky rewards again.
