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

I Built a Minecraft World You Can Drive in BeamNG

I turned BeamNG into Minecraft. Blocklands is a 3x3 km map made entirely of one-metre blocks, with 34 km of roads and a lot of stuff to find. Get Blocklands on Patreon (link in comments), or find "Modslab" account there. Heads up: some of what you see here isn't out yet. The Deep Dark (the cave, the Ancient City and the Warden) and a few other things come in the next update, so think of this video as a look at what's coming.
