Changelog/2026/April 21

27th April Changes

Hello!

Today the Harvest Feast update is back on the Alpha Network with some changes from last time. If you are unfamiliar with the new Harvest Feast event, you can read more about it HERE! In addition to this, we also have some new content hitting the Alpha Network for the first time:

Fossil Dust is being revamped into Fossil Essence, and its functionality is being expanded beyond just being able to buy Suspicious Scrap with it.

The Fossil Essence Shop is accessed through Researcher Beryl, a new NPC that can be found in the top floor of the Fossil Research Center.

Perks:

• Sleight Of Hand I: Start the Fossil Excavator with an additional charge
• Chilled to the Bone I-X: Increases your chances of fishing up Skeleton Fish in the Crimson Isle by 2-20%
• Dwarven Expertise I-X: Grants +2-20 Dwarven Metal Fortune
• Cut Loose I-V: Killing a ❆ Glacial mob while inside a Glacite Mineshaft reduces your Cold by 1-5
• Prehistorian I-X: Increases the chance of a Fossil Dye spawning in the Fossil Excavator by 1-10%
• Resourceful I-V: Grants a 1-5% chance to not consume keys when looting a Frozen Corpse
• Additionally, you are now able to purchase a Chisel through this menu for 5 Fossil Essence. Suspicious Scrap is now purchased here for 100 Fossil Essence as well.

Meet the Fossil Muncher, a new NPC found in the Glacite Tunnels. Every 24 hours he'll ask for a random Fossil. Giving him this Fossil will reward you with 25,000 Glacite Powder and 100 Fossil Essence.

• The loot table of the Fossil Excavator has been updated
• Citrine Gemstones now prioritize higher value treasures in the Fossil Excavator when highlighting slots
  • Fossil Dye (Highest Priority)
  • Fossil the Fish
  • Paleontologist I Enchantment
  • Fossils
  • Glacite Powder / Essence
  • Gemstones/Glacite/Umber/Tungsten (Lowest Priority)
• Improved the zone entry message for the Glacite Tunnels and the Fossil Research Center
• You can now salvage the following items:
  • Suspicious Scrap: 5 Fossil Essence
  • Caged Wisp: 500 Fossil Essence
  • Frosted Scute: 500 Fossil Essence
  • Shattered Locket: 1,000 Fossil Essence
  • Prehistoric Egg: 25 Fossil Essence
• Halved the Cold Resistance given by the Frozen Skin perk in the Ice Essence Shop

One of the most popular suggestions we've gotten recently is for a farming equivalent to the Hunting Toolkit. It's finally here! You can purchase one for 2,500 Copper from SkyMart and it'll store your Farming Tools for all crops. Consuming the item now grants access to the /farmingtoolkit menu, where you can store your Farming Tools. You can also access this menu by shift right-clicking the Farming Tool you are currently holding, just like the Hunting Toolkit.

• Made RARE CROP Chance into a stat named "Overbloom"
  • +1 Overbloom = +1% to RARE CROP drop rates
• Celestial Mason Jar Changes
  • Donation Tiers now reward varying amounts of "Stew Flasks" instead of the Mason Jar directly
  • x4 Stew Flasks are needed to make a Celestial Mason Jar
  • The Leftovers Carnival Perk now rewards +1/+2 Stew Flasks at the final Donation Tier
  • Doubled the duration of the Celestial Mason Jar's effect so that it is in line with other Mixin durations again
  • Designer's Note: We are concerned that there will simply be too many Celestial Mason Jars in the economy at the current rate they were being given out, so we are making Donation Tiers effectively give you a portion of a Celestial Mason Jar instead of a full one. To compensate for this we've re-buffed the duration to 36h, the default for all other Mixins.
• Moondew Changes
  • Now guarantees Lunar Moth spawns in Pest Traps
  • Halved Crystalized Moonlight in crafting recipe
• Revamped "Moonlit" Ultimate Enchantment for Farming Armor
  • Renamed to "Sunset"
  • Now grants +1/2/3/4/5 Overbloom during the day and -1/2/3/4/5% Visitor Cooldown during the night
• Added all of the new Harvest Feast RARE CROPS to the Garden Sack
• Significantly increased the amount of Sack of Sacks slots given via the Clownfish Collection
  • Small: 3→8 Slots
  • Medium: 6→12 Slots
  • Large: 9→16 Slots
  • Greater: 12→20 Slots
  • Giant: 15→24 Slots
  • Massive: 18→28 Slots
• Large Walnuts now have a Reforge Bonus that gives +5% Sowdust
  • Designer's Note: With the changes made to Farming Tools in this update it kind of left Large Walnuts in a spot where they didn't really do anything special anymore. As such, we're giving it a Reforge Bonus that let's you earn a little bit more Sowdust.
• Nerfed MYTHIC Elephant's 'Abundant Harvest' perk to only give +15% Sowdust
  • Designer's Note: We're essentially moving a quarter of the original buff over to the Large Walnut Reforge Stone in order to make it more accessible early on and also to provide more competition between Farming Reforges.
• Thermodynamic Armor Changes
  • Each piece now only gives +5 Attack Speed (down from +20 Attack Speed)
  • Quadrupled the amount of Enchanted Sugar Cane in the recipe
  • Added a Combat Level XXX requirement
  • Designer's Note: We want to maintain the wild fun this armor set brings to the game, but we also don't want it to invalidate existing Combat progression.
• Rather than setting your Speed Cap to 500, Racing Helmets now grant +100 Speed Cap
• Added a Pickup Button to the menu of Buzzybee’s Fantabulous Disco Destinations
• Renamed the "Bonus Attack Speed" stat to just "Attack Speed"
• Fixed RARE CROP Chance not working on Burrowing Spores
• This item's drop rate has been increased to 1/350,000 to help maintain its value
• Fixed having more than 500 Speed not actually making you any faster (this change has been rolled to the main network)
• Fixed Turbo Gourds missing a "Right-click to view recipes!"
• Fixed the cost to upgrade MYTHIC Bee Pets being wrong
• Fixed the Floating Crystals within the Hub Farm not having the correct texture

That's all for today! :hypixel_smile:
