Hi Munchies!
This post is supposed to give a brief overview over all the changes coming to our survival server in its 5th season.
Classes / Skills
By far the largest part of season 5 is our new skills system which will replace McMMO and can be accessed with /skills. While it comes with many of McMMO’s most popular abilities, it also has a number of new abilities and, most notably, a new leveling system. Instead of leveling all skills at the same time, you can choose which classes best fit your playstyle and max them out for extra powerful abilities.
For more information, check out the Skills Guide.
Custom Terrain
For the first time since season 1, we are experimenting with custom terrain generation. Our main & mining worlds are generated with the 99 gorgeous new biomes of Terralith 2.0 including new structures and terrain features.
Note that all vanilla biomes still exist and no gameplay mechanics are altered by this change. For more information, check out the Terralith Wiki.
Daily Login Rewards & Streaks
Want to show off your dedication to MunchyMC Survival? Our new mailman NPC Pat keeps track of how many days in a row you’ve logged in and let’s you display it as a badge over your head. Furthermore, he brings you daily rewards that increase in quality with the size of your streak.
Events
Building on the success of our Spooky Fishing event, we’ve decided to add 5 brand new events, bringing the total up to 6 events per year, or one every 2 months.
Each event lasts for a few weeks and brings rewards as well as new gameplay to survival. The first event will take place 2024-08-24T22:00:00Z→2024-09-05T22:00:00Z. More information will follow soon so stay tuned!
New Championship Games & Rewards
Our Championshiphall has received 5 new minigames:
- BuildBattle
- DeathRun
- LaserTag
- MobSurvival
- SurvivalGames
Further, we have significantly buffed the champion crates. Instead of placeable trophies, you now have a high chance to win one of 6 powerful gameplay perks or one cosmetic perk. These perks last for 2 weeks, until the next Championship.
Ranked Perk Changes
There have been lots of speculations about ranked perks recently because it was teased that they would change. Here is a list of changes:

- BUFF: can now place blocks while using /carpet
- NEW: can now change the color of your carpet using /carpet [color]
DoublePlus

- REMOVED: keepInventory

Other Changes
Chest of Sorrow
Players will no longer drop their items on death. Instead, you can buy back your inventory from the Chest of Sorrow at spawn for a small amount of gold*. The cost of this buy-back increases with the value of your items and players who previously had keepInventory enabled will get a discount. Every player gets 3 free buy-backs.
Mall Shelves
Chest shops in the mall have been replaced by shelves which come with more inventory space, additional customization, and fancy item displays. These should hopefully reduce the amount of lag when roaming the mall.
Shop Changes
The cost of normal crates and cosmicoins will be permanently reduced by 50%. Note that normal crates have been nerfed slightly.
Additionally, we will offer a new item to buy: temporary and server-wide boosts to skill xp.
Normal Crate Changes
Normal crates are now more common but less powerful to give them a place in our crate hierarchy. In particular, they will now only give gadgets with finite durability including disguise potions, crowbars, lava buckets and many more.
In particular, lava placements & crowbars can no longer be purchased.
Seasonal Crate Changes
Unlike in previous seasons, we are immediately releasing a summer crate. Seasonal crates will no longer contain disguises or pets. Instead, we will focus more on gadgets and custom enchants. We also have a completely new type of crate content: weapon & tool skins!
Fly Tokens
There are now 2 types of buffed fly tokens. Regular fly tokens last significantly longer while crate fly tokens let you fly much faster.
Custom Mobs
Unfortunately, custom mobs will not be a part of the Season 5 release. In particular, custom pets, bossfights, and community events have been removed. We will try to bring back custom pets at a later point if possible.
Quests
While quests were a central part of Season 4, they will play a much smaller part in Season 5. Quest NPCs will be released later in the season but will be less focused on lore and more on farming rewards.
Warp Totems
The obsidian in warp totems has been replaced by a lodestone, with the warp’s name and description now appearing above the totem. The totem menu has also been redesigned for easier navigation. Additionally, we’ve added many customization options, including colorful names and descriptions and the ability to set the icon as any item in the game.
*The small amount of gold is gold mined on the server that is used as the in server currency for trading amongst players
