Welcome to the first 2025 edition of The Buzz! The new year is already off to an exciting start, with a magical new BedWars season, festive Lunar New Year celebrations, and exciting news about future updates! Here’s everything you might have missed!
BedWars Season 2️⃣
January marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our biggest game—BedWars: Season 2!
This enchanting season introduced magical new gameplay, a dazzling array of mystical items, spellbinding maps, thrilling challenges, and a brand-new limited-time mode for players to discover!
The new season brings a wave of mystical magic to the battlefield! Players can now brew powerful potions at the Potion Table on every team island to gain buffs or weaken opponents. The addition of Totems also introduces all-new strategic possibilities.
Season 2 also introduced a brand new limited-time mode, Manor! This new mode brings an exciting twist on classic BedWars gameplay, set within the eerie halls of an enchanted mansion.

Gifting Updates 🎁
Everybody loves receiving gifts! With our latest update, even more gift types—including pets, hats, mounts, and bundles—can now be purchased using Gift Tokens, making gifting easier than ever!
As part of this migration, all existing gifts in player wallets were converted into Gift Tokens, with a bonus of 2 tokens for every 10 converted. Enjoy sharing the fun!
Year of the Snake 🐍
The Lunar New Year celebrations have now slithered by. Players who joined us during the festivities experienced the beautiful Lantern Festival, illuminating the hub with dazzling lights and festive energy.
Players also partook in the annual Zodiac banner hunt, and were rewarded with the exclusive Lunar Snake costume.
Now that the event has concluded, the banners have disappeared—but we hope you enjoyed the magic of the Year of the Snake and look forward to celebrating with you again next year!
Microhub Mayhem 🏗️
If you've been following our official roadmap, you may have noticed two exciting new updates on the horizon!
Just Build and Murder Mystery are set to receive their own microhubs and limited-time modes, adding fresh ways to play. Plus, Murder Mystery will introduce challenges and a Challenge Merchant, giving you opportunities to earn exclusive rewards.
We'd love to hear what you'd like to see in these newly announced limited-time modes, so be sure to join our Discord server and share your thoughts!
