It has already been over a month since the new Prison Map got released 
MunchyMC? More like MunchyGPT 
A new type of crate has been added to Prison. The Robot Rares, which can be found in the Robot Crates, have already been added to Prisonbreak. 
Nuclear Specials were added to the outside world. 
The odds of finding the Merlin Cauldron in Creature Crates have been buffed, while the Ego Pickaxe’s Fortune has been increased. 
Rudolph Hooves have been nerfed by having a longer cooldown and less Projectile Resistance.

On the other hand, a second update has brought many more changes this month! 
First of all, optimizations were made regarding lag issues caused by mining and mine resets.
On top of that, the command /toggleeffect negative now allows you to toggle levitation and slowfall levitation prestige perks! 
A few buffs were also made for items like the Humpty Dumpty Egg that can be used more often since its cooldown has been reduced! 
Thanks to the update, those who use the Loot-O-Matic will receive loot points upon finding rares, while those who try out the Droid Magnet can now give slowness the the players they pull with it! 
Additionnally, not only was the Heimdal NPC at the Brute exit fixed, but so were many items, like the Bowser Block, the Droid Helmet and the Mind Stone. 
Cell Design Competition! 
A new cell design competition is being hosted by @TheFireGamer210! Of course, the theme will be Halloween and different prizes will be handed out to the three finalists! The competition ends at 2024-10-03T22:00:00Z so, if you’re interested in participating, your time is limited! For more information on the rules and submitting process, I’d recommend checking out this post!

We’re happy to announce that the update is nearly complete and will soon be available on GameMaker. Please sit tight a little longer before you can try it out yourself, but in the meantime, why not complete a puzzle for a few teasers?

Community Art Highlights! 
Hello. Welcome back to the Art Highlights. This month has been a lot, so instead of a proper intro you will get a quote from my mother. “Art is art, heart. Peace out”.
