CraftWorld v2.9 Approved!
FREE, PAID and BETA versions have all succesfully passed certification and and should be availible for download in 12-48 hours. A few users have already reported back the download’s availiblity right now.
Please refer to our previous blog post if you wish to see the changelog for whats new, fixed and changed in v2.9. Many of you will now be wondering how long until v2.10 of CraftWorld, and what will it have? I can safely say that more content is needed, such as the adamantium tool set as well as full day night cycles on WP7. There is also multiplayer considerations, and the much demanded fence to add to CraftWorld.
Please visit our forums, and fire off a few threads to give us an idea of what you’d like to see first.
BlockWorld news!
Multiplayer is complete, and we are now hammering away at the bugs, polishing it into a smooth fun experience for the Xbox 360. Join in progress is the last big feature to add, before we run some in house testing sessions and finally release the first multiplayer game from 2.0 Studios upon the world!
More bugs have been fixed, and ladders may also be placed upon the tops and bottoms of blocks. This allows users to get creative and craft things like barred windows, and cages.
Behold the Cage of Rage, using ladders on top and under blocks for decorative purposes. Please pardon the debug.
Well, back to work! There is much to be done!
haw to play this game
On the screen there are two light brown panels, the one on the left moves you when you swish about with a thumb. The right one, moves where you look. Tap and hold on blocks on the screen to break them. Tap on a picture of a block in the row of buttons on the bottom of the screen to select them, and then tap in the world to put them down to build things.
Also, read the “Survival Guide” Book you get in your inventory when you start a new survival world. Your inventory is the brown sack button on the top right.
Hello Craftworld Team, yesterday I had a nice idea, when playing the new craftworld 2.9
What about a shield to defence yourself against enemys?
I thouht it would be a nice item to wear with a sword or any other weapon.
I like your game
Jonas
We’ve got plans for armours and more weapons. A lot of our time is taken up by the stuff you can’t see, like making the infinite world fit in memory, making tapping on blocks feel “right” and getting rid of bugs.
I’m glad you like it, we’ve been working hard on it since about 2010. We still have lots to go. Check out the milestones page on this site
When I was playing craft world beta v.2.9 it crashed, this has been happening since the update. Can you do something about it?
Hey Alex,
Have you sent the error reports? Have you visited our forums? You can open a thread, post images and provide the information we need to clear this up. It’s a big game, and there are so many complex systems…
Before, there were no caves… Then 2.8 was really exciting when you found a cave… Now fucking 2.9, there are craters EVERYWHERE… Everywhere I turn… There are caves… Holes… And stuff… And it doesn’t even go through the mountain.. They don’t go deep. I say, bigger, HUGE… and tunnels, and when your mining, there’s a noise that tells you if there near… And not so many…oh, and when is multiplayer craftworld coming out and night and day cycle?
best regards… And reply soon please!
Kay.
Hey Kay,
I’m not sure what you are trying to say with this post. Are you angry at the caves, or suprised? With 1st gen devices occupying only 10% of all handsets running CraftWorld, and WP8 and the 3rd gen handsets arriving shortly, we dialed the complexity of the generator. It’s more expensive, but phones these days can take it.
Day night cycle is delayed due to limitations in the WP7 code that we can’t change. Day night can be done, but without shaders it needs to be done in a rather odd way. So we’ve been putting it off. Features that benefit BlockWorld AND CraftWorld take precedence.
We’re working on getting multiplayer in BlockWorld on Xbox first. It has a much nicer Networking system than the phone, so it’s quicker to get it up and running there, and then port that back into CraftWorld.

Hey guys,
its awesome! Just wondering… How are the 3 different craftworld games on WP7 different? Beta,free and paid… They all look the same… 
your prob suprised to find out that in a girl gamer, and im addicted to craftworld! I love it and play 6hrs + a day!
many thanks-
Kayla
Hey Kayla,
I’m glad your enjoying CraftWorld! They are all the same.
CraftWorld Paid cost $2.99 US, CraftWorld FREE is the same thing, but there is a banner ad at the top. CraftWorld BETA is also free, and ad supported. If we implement massive changes to the engine, or a huge new feature that might be unstable, we release it to the BETA version first, gather bug reports and make fixes before putting out the next patch to all. v2.6 was a BETA only update, that saved a lot of issues from happening with the other two.
We’ve been doing a lot of maintainence updates recently, so all three versions have been getting updated lately. When we add more stuff, BETA will get some extra updates.

The zombies scare the crap out of me. When I punch them, there should be some knock ack so I don’t have to run back for 30 mins while trying to fight it.
Passive mobs barely spawn in the normal difficulty.
and the map, it lags you a bunch (I can tell why) and the mao should (if you can) have waypoints to places, so I can keep track of my house.
Zombies don’t burn in sunlight
They spawn wherever the hell they want to. Faq da polieze is basically what they’re saying now.
Other than that…
I’m really busy with school. I’ve been out for long time.
Oh and how do I download a world?
Have you signed into your cloud account?
Zombies burn up in v2.10 of CraftWorld, but it takes a while. Once we start getting the RPG system in place, it’ll be much easier to tweak and manage creatures and their varying strengths. Don’t worry, we won’t pull a Bethesda and have them level with you.
Waypoints and a compass have been on the list for a while. Once blockWorld’s v1.1 patch is out the door, we can get back to this highly requested stuff.
Good too see you again Tarik.
It would be cool if you guys could add like bosses in certain areas plus adding some quest or something? And make it so you can make boats its pretty annoying swimming all the time. Much appreciation the game is really good and I can’t wait for the next update.
THATS WHY people want boats, because swimming is annoying in EVERY GAME EVER. Unless of course you are diving for something, then it’s great.
You want dungeons and bosses etc..? So do we. Thats part of the RPG system we want to add to CraftWorld (Not blockWorld). After v2.10, we’re looking at doing the following:
1) Liquids, lava and water
2) Day and Night on WP7
3) Beginning the RPG system, which includes generated cities and dungeons. Plopping in some named enemies, or some special classes would be a cynch.
We’re almost done with BlockWorld v1.1 multiplayer, then we can get back to some more CraftWorld specific features.
Dear dev. Team.
I wrote a ‘little’ to change list for you
Well.. :
1. I just found 1 diamond ore by 2 days of playing, no adamantum ore, no gold, no silver nugget, add more of them
2. Timber is a part of a house, but you need two wooden blocks to make a timber block. Trees are limited. It would be ok if you change it to : 1 wood- 8 planks- 2 Timber
3.buckets would be nice but wait till lava is appeared.
4. Water physics must be worked on.
5. wooden planks
6. Change the timbertexture please, add this one : http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/uD08ehxxCYI/mqdefault.jpg
7. Don’t forget to add all features of fence
8. When we can built things with Redstone ? I know its very difficult to add it, but its a part of block genre. If you want to make it in the version 2.11 or else, build-mode is a good idea for it ( like creative and survival) because the creative inventory is a bit full for Redstone and so on
Hey again Serkan,
1) What world generator? Are you on a mountain?
2) Noted.
3&4) There is crude water propogation right now. It’s speed is bugged in v2.9, but the whole lots gonna get thrown out when the proper propogation is implemented. Mmmm. Lava.
5) What do you mean?
6) Looks like texture pack support would be nice…
7) That’s top of the “New features” list. Fences in v2.10 also have collision on one side, and are climable on the other. These can be used as fences.
8) Wow, that list escalated rather quickly.
The RPG system will be done before any kind of copper wire/red stone kinda stuff is in place. By which I mean this sort of stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2Mdb93TwgY&feature=plcp, which is completely different but in the same ballpark.
1) middle earth in a deep place near water.
5)sorry i mean wooden slabs. So you can make tables with fences and them.
6) well the picture is a bit old. Its a german texture pack for minecraft and it looks really really nice. the texturepack calls ” MeineKraft “. well the timber of them is better to build some houses.
The timber of craftworld looks a bit rustical. It looks nice, but its a bit grey and so on. The textures are 64×64. I hope its not a problem but it looks really nice.
If you want to test it on minecraft, i will tag a link here so you can download it.
here is a lets play video with the texturepack : http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=FSmRaxnJ51Y
I hope its makeable.
Dear jarryd and ‘ Danthekilla ‘
MeineKraft has got ~10 textures. Here is a link of them ( just scroll a little but down to ” Bilder[pictures]“) : http://dein-infotext.blogspot.de/p/texturen-pack.html?m=1
It would be good if you make a button at the main menu of craftworld called textures. And then the textures of MeineKraft.
i think it would be very lovely, but its has the problem that the size of the textures are too big or it has got too many mb. Please reply quickly, Serkan
Quick reply, (I should be coding)
We’d need permision to use that pack. You could ask him and if he’s ok with it, let us know!
I asked her, and she said : you can use the texturepack , its only not alowed to upload the texturepack to a homepage.
You can use the texturepack for “ALL” Block Genres, but the name should be ‘ Antik,Autumn and so on (See the pictures on her site).
Is it makeable ?
Craftworld is awesome but it needs to add spawning things and fences and stuff.
Spawning things? Do you mean creatures and monsters? It has those.
Jarryd its important for me to get an answer to my question.
The question makes no sense.
