Blocklands 1.1 - The Deep Dark (and 1.0 is now free)
Hey everyone! First things first: Blocklands 1.0 is now free for everyone. If you have a friend who’s been waiting to try the block world, send them here.
And 1.1 is out! This time the map goes underground. There’s a cave you can drive all the way through under the northern mountains, and the Warden is down there listening for your engine. Made for BeamNG 0.40.
The Deep Dark
About a kilometre of road under the mountains, from above Frostpine to the igloo: a dripstone hall with a beam of daylight, a lush cave with axolotls, two sculk halls and the Ancient City
Sculk sensors hear your revs, speed, horn and crashes. After four warnings the Warden digs out of the ground
He can’t see. He goes for the last sound he heard, hits you up close and fires a sonic boom through the walls. Stay quiet for a minute and he digs back down
There are five echo shards near the chests in the city. Find all five and the big frame takes you to the summit
Both cave entrances and the Ancient City get added to the teleport list once you find them
New
31 advancements, with a popup when you get one and your progress in the Blocklands window
Beds: stand on one to skip the night and make that house your respawn point
Nights with mobs: zombies and skeletons by the roads that burn away at sunrise
The Nether as a shortcut: one block down there is eight blocks up top, and there’s a blue ice highway under its roof
Lap timer with sectors on the Block Ring and the Ice Drift Ring, with records in the window
Places you’ve found show up on the big map with a route to them
Fuel stations and repair shops along the roads
Blocklands licence plate
A thank-you wall near the Oakvale spawn with the names of my Tier 5, Tier 4 and Tier 3 Max supporters, written in glow ink
Improved
Works on BeamNG 0.40
A lot less collision geometry, so the map loads faster
New Deep Dark section in the Blocklands window: Warden on or off, how well he hears, how hard he hits, and darkness on or off
Requirements
BeamNG.drive 0.40
How to install
The easiest way is with AVA Mod Manager, it installs and updates mods for you in one click.
Or manually: remove Blocklands_v1.0.zip from your mods folder and put Blocklands_v1.1.zip there instead, don’t unpack it.
Good luck with the Warden, and let me know in the comments how far you got!
