Nomad Wars et Fat King ouvrent leur bêta publique

Deux nouveaux mini-jeux à tester entre amis : zones mouvantes ou course à l’or, avec quatre maps à explorer en 3D.

• Nomad Wars et Fat King sont maintenant accessibles en bêta sur play.cookie-build.com, depuis le menu des jeux ou avec leur commande dédiée. Java et Bedrock peuvent rejoindre le même serveur (port Bedrock 19132).
• Nomad Wars : /nomadwars play, de 2 à 8 joueurs. Suivez les zones sûres mobiles, récoltez pendant deux passages et survivez à l’affrontement central. Trois maps sont proposées : Oasis, Ruins et Canyon.
• Fat King : /fatking play, de 4 à 8 joueurs, dans deux équipes de 2 à 4. Minez l’or et confiez-le à votre roi : il rapporte des points mais ralentit. Utilisez /fatking give à proximité de votre roi pour transférer l’or et /fatking crown pour retrouver votre équipe et votre roi. La Couronne des Profondeurs accueille les premières parties.
• Ces bêtas se rejoignent volontairement : elles ne sont pas incluses dans le Quick Play automatique et ne donnent pas de monnaie du serveur. Les règles et l’équilibrage pourront évoluer après les essais. Utilisez /leave pour quitter.
• Retrouvez les règles sur /fr/nomad-wars et /fr/fat-king, et les 22 rendus de maps dans le catalogue /maps. Les anciens articles de préversion restent dans l’historique ; cette note annonce leur ouverture en bêta.

Fat King : découvrez la couronne qui pèse lourd

Un nouveau jeu d’équipe en préparation : récoltez l’or, protégez votre roi et explorez sa vraie map en 3D.

• Fat King est en préparation sur Cookie Build. Au moins deux équipes de deux joueurs s’affrontent. Chaque équipe possède un roi choisi au hasard : l’or qu’il porte rapporte des points, mais le ralentit progressivement. Protégez-le, prenez les mines et surveillez la boussole qui indique le roi le plus riche.
• À la mort du roi, la couronne passe à un autre coéquipier. Les mines se renouvellent et les pertes d’or permettent les revanches. La préversion explique les règles, les risques et les questions à discuter avec un ami.
• La Couronne des Profondeurs propose 289 × 289 blocs à explorer : village forestier, sanctuaire en ruines, grande carrière et jardins avec orangerie.
• Découvrez le jeu sur /fr/fat-king, l’article sur /fr/updates/fat-king-preview et la vraie map Minecraft dans le catalogue /maps/fat-king-crown, en 3D ou vue du dessus.
• Le jeu reste en préversion privée, sans ouverture au public ni date de sortie annoncée. La publication concerne la présentation et la map ; les règles et l’équilibrage peuvent évoluer après les essais.

Nomad Wars: a moving battlefield is coming soon

Discover three new maps and help shape a survival game where safe zones keep moving.

Nomad Wars is coming soon to Cookie Build. Stay inside any moving safe zone, gather supplies, and survive the final battle in the central arena. One match has two passes around the arena. The first gives everyone time to gather resources before combat begins on the second. When zones cross, you can follow another route. Common resource points refill once; public caches keep their contents and can be looted. An optional forge prepares an armour upgrade while you move on, but another player can claim it first. Oasis, Ruins and Canyon each have districts with distinct resources and landmarks. Explore the actual maps in 3D at /maps and read the full rules at /nomad-wars. A French preview is available at /fr/nomad-wars. This is a preview, not a release announcement. There is no public opening date yet. Balance and timing remain subject to playtesting.

Explore our maps and discover Nomad Wars

Browse 21 arena previews in 3D, including three maps for our upcoming Nomad Wars mode.

• The map catalogue is now available at /maps. Explore 18 existing arenas and three Nomad Wars maps in 3D or from above, and share a direct link to your favourite map.
• Nomad Wars is coming soon. Its preview explains moving safe zones, two passes around the arena, shared supplies, public forges and the central final battle. The mode is not open for public play yet, and its rules may change following playtesting.
• Read the preview at /nomad-wars, or in French at /fr/nomad-wars.

Refreshed Java and Bedrock compatibility

A server update brings current Bedrock compatibility and a fix for furnace updates on Bedrock.

• Updated the Java server engine to Paper 26.2 build 124.
• Updated Bedrock connectivity to Geyser 2.11.3 build 1240, supporting Bedrock 26.30–26.34, 26.40–26.45, 26.50 and 26.51.
• Included a Bedrock compatibility fix for furnace updates.

Bedrock menu images restored

Game, action and shop icons are back in Bedrock menus.

• Restored the images in Bedrock menus, including the game selector, Skyblock actions and shops.
• Reconnect to the server to load the menus with their icons.

Clearer Skyblock rewards and safer islands

Find your next reward faster, harvest your new island straight away, and keep your builds safe when returning home.

• Claim completed quest rewards directly from the main Skyblock menu. Your island display reminds you when rewards are ready and points to daily or weekly goals after the main quests.
• New islands start with ripe wheat, so you can begin your first harvest immediately. Farming progress now counts ripe crops.
• Returning home preserves your island edits and finds a safe landing. Island animals, containers and decorations have stronger ownership protection.
• Worker upgrades preserve production already earned at the previous rate, and the menus explain storage limits and objective reset times.
• Mobile worker collections and merchant sales advance the same daily and weekly goals as in-game actions. Claiming a mobile objective updates your island level immediately.

Optional audience measurement across the website

Choose whether to share website visit and navigation statistics, with a compact preference panel.

• Optional audience measurement now covers public pages and clicks towards the game, Discord and the shop.
• A compact panel lets you allow or decline Google Analytics cookies. Both choices keep the website, games and purchases available.
• Change your choice at any time from Analytics preferences in the footer. Existing visitors can choose again for this expanded scope.
• Our events exclude player names, linking codes, payment details and URL search parameters.

Shop gifts and clearer payment access

Choose an existing player for a gift, manage your payments separately, and choose whether to share shop statistics.

• Buy for yourself or give a gift by choosing a player who has already joined Cookie Build. Search by Minecraft name and confirm the suggested recipient before payment.
• Java and Bedrock names are supported. For Bedrock players, searching with or without the initial dot finds the same player.
• The selected player receives the cosmetic access. The payer keeps separate access to their order and billing management; choosing a recipient does not give access to that player’s account.
• Optional shop statistics now have clear Allow and Decline choices. Change your choice at any time from Analytics preferences in the footer. Declining does not affect play, gifts or purchases.
• Existing shop prices and the free Cookie Sparkles trail remain unchanged.

The shop is open — Cookie Sparkles for everyone

Explore the shop, equip your free lobby trail, and choose optional cosmetics without competitive advantages.

• Visit /shop on the website or use /shop in game. The old /cosmetics links and command still work.
• Cookie Sparkles (Étincelles de cookie) is free for every player: equip this little lobby trail without a purchase or subscription. Java and Bedrock are supported; rendering can vary by client.
• Link your player with /support link to equip your free trail from your web inventory. No payment card is needed.
• Optional permanent cosmetics and the Supporter subscription at €1 per month are available in the shop. Existing purchases and access remain available.
• Playing remains free. Purchases provide no competitive advantage in minigames.

Your cosmetics collection

Browse the cosmetics collection in game and manage your equipment on the website.

• Open /cosmetics to discover badges, trails, emotes, victory effects, profile frames, lobby flight and arrival effects. Bedrock players use native forms.
• Equip owned cosmetics and preview your emote or victory effect in the lobby. Subscription effects stop when access expires.
• Lobby flight hands control safely to Skyblock and minigame loading protection.
• Use /support link to connect your Minecraft account to the website and manage your collection.

More reliable Skyblock progression

Skyblock progress stays consistent when a skill notification cannot be loaded.

• Saved Skyblock experience, collections, and generator progress are no longer applied twice when a notification lookup fails.
• Mobile device registration rejects malformed identifiers, keeping device records consistent.

More reliable transitions after TurfWars

Leaving a TurfWars match no longer lets that old match interfere with your next game.

• Your current game state is preserved when a TurfWars match you previously left finishes.
• Moving from TurfWars into another game is more reliable, including when the previous match is interrupted.

Smoother Skyblock trading on Bedrock

Skyblock merchant menus now move reliably from Sell or Buy to resource and quantity selection on Bedrock.

• Bedrock players no longer get trapped behind a server-data loading screen while navigating the Skyblock merchant.
• Sell and Buy now move cleanly through resource selection, quantity selection, and the final result.
• Closing or receiving an invalid native form response now releases that menu correctly, so it can be reopened immediately.
• Duplicate interaction signals are safely coalesced, and outdated merchant characters are consolidated automatically.
• Java inventory menus keep their existing loading and transaction safeguards.

More resilient Bedrock connections

Bedrock players now benefit from an additional connection fallback when the primary route is temporarily unavailable.

• Bedrock connection setup can now use an alternative route if the primary route is temporarily unavailable.
• This reduces avoidable connection failures without changing inventories, progression, statistics, or game rules.
• Java players and the server address remain unchanged.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock and BedWars are available again

Skyblock reconnects now resume safely and BedWars arenas are open again after a deployment configuration issue.

• Players returning from Skyblock can resume their island normally with their saved inventory and progression.
• BedWars is available again from the lobby, with its active and standby arenas restored.
• The safety lock that protected Skyblock inventories during the interruption worked as intended; no progression or inventory reset was required.
• The deployment configuration has been corrected at its source so these game services remain enabled during future reconciliations.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

More reliable Bedrock and combat interactions

Bedrock item behaviour and several classic-combat interactions are now more consistent across inventories, hotbar changes, and sword blocking.

• Bedrock fishing and custom-item fuel behaviour are more consistent with the Java server.
• Classic-combat cooldown and attack-range handling now follows hotbar and hand changes correctly.
• Off-hand inventory interactions no longer produce repeated compatibility errors.
• Sword blocking uses corrected Paper item data, including when items are displayed through chat or inventory plugins.
• These compatibility updates do not change your progression, inventory, statistics, or saved game data.

A real Skyblock Warehouse Chest and seamless lobby visits

Skyblock inventory now follows you safely across lobby visits, while a physical island chest makes shared storage, worker collection and merchant trades much easier to understand.

• You can now return to the main lobby with an active Skyblock inventory. Your items, armour, experience and selected hotbar slot are isolated safely, then restored exactly when you return to your island.
• Every home island now has a physical Warehouse Chest. Clicking it opens the same authoritative stock on Java and Bedrock; workers, the merchant, player market and mobile app all use that one protected inventory.
• The Warehouse Chest shows its contents in the main description and offers clear actions to deposit the held stack, deposit every eligible inventory resource, or withdraw a chosen item and quantity.
• Merchant screens now state exactly where items come from and go. Selling consumes Warehouse Chest stock, buying delivers to it, and a direct Open Warehouse Chest button lets you retrieve purchases immediately.
• Members no longer see merchant, market or withdrawal actions that their island role cannot execute, while they can still view and deposit into the shared chest.
• Worker menus now lead with collection, show unlocked workers, ready output and shared storage usage, and keep overflow safely with the workers when the chest is full.
• All new guidance is available in English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Italian, Bulgarian and Hindi.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

A clearer, livelier lobby

Game selectors now explain which lobby is filling, Skyblock is easier to find while waiting, and Four Corners returns with its complete scenery.

• Each minigame selector shows the next lobby's fill count and its live countdown when a match is about to start.
• A subtle nearby chime helps you notice when somebody is already waiting for a mode, while a separate arrival sound announces new players.
• When the main lobby is quiet, a short trail points toward the Skyblock bee and explains that Skyblock can be played solo.
• Four Corners has been restored from its newer build with the missing scenery and patterns.
• Falling from the Pitchout or BedWars waiting area now returns you safely instead of leaving you below the map.
• /feedback now reaches the team even when no dedicated feedback channel is configured.
• Trusted creative builders can repair the main lobby while its protections remain active for everyone else.

Safer Skyblock respawns and reliable Bedrock actions

Deaths now return players to their own island, Bedrock actions always reach a result, merchant purchases are replay-safe, and the generator has a cleaner protected layout.

• Dying in Skyblock now respawns you at the safe home point of your own island instead of the main lobby. Deaths during an island visit also return you home with your inventory, level and Skyblock session intact.
• Unexpected portals or external world transfers are repaired automatically while normal Return to Lobby actions continue to work.
• Generator upgrades, merchant trades, Worker actions, objectives, quests and market actions no longer leave Bedrock players trapped on a waiting screen. Mutations stay non-blocking and every delayed server request has a visible timeout and a safe parent-menu retry path.
• Merchant purchases now carry the exact bank snapshot shown to the player. A delayed or repeated click cannot debit the same offer twice, and a result that finishes after the menu timeout is still announced without reopening the menu.
• Interactive database requests expire before executing when their menu is stale, while durable session, checkpoint and shutdown writes remain guaranteed under queue pressure. Connection, lock and statement limits prevent delayed actions from waiting forever.
• The former poles and signboards have been removed. The physical generator now uses a low, protected basin that contains its water and lava sources while keeping the break-and-collect access clear.
• Co-op removals and departures now require a confirmed safe lobby transfer before membership changes continue, protecting inventory and session ownership if transport fails.
• A temporarily unavailable Skyblock provider now keeps the player's persistent marker and inventory safe for bounded recovery instead of resetting them in the lobby.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock gets clearer progression and reliable Bedrock trading

The generator is now a visible island landmark, Workers unlock through play, and Bedrock merchant menus recover instead of waiting forever.

• Bedrock merchant forms now recover from rejected, outdated or slow server responses, with bounded loading, retry paths and safer transaction timeouts.
• The manual generator is now marked by a cross-platform structure with its tier, drop chances and merchant values, plus distinct colors and feedback for every tier.
• Generator menus explain the complete break, pick up, deposit and sell loop on Java and Bedrock.
• New islands keep the tier-one cobblestone generator but unlock the Miner, Farmer and Lumberjack progressively instead of receiving three automatic Workers immediately. Existing Workers and their stored capacity are preserved.
• Generator upgrades now require both island coins and stored resources. Merchant prices remain unchanged.
• Island build radius now grows with island level instead of generator tier.
• Worker menus and the mobile companion show production speed, capacity, time before saturation and unlock requirements.
• Aggregate balancing measurements now cover generator breaks, warehouse deposits, Worker collection, merchant sales, upgrade timing and storage pressure without identifying individual players.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Clearer Skyblock generators and safer minigame queues

Java players can reach and understand their generator, see upgrade affordability, and prepare their inventory for a queued minigame without a false server error.

• The Java and Bedrock generator menu now separates mining, warehouse access and upgrades. A dedicated action teleports the player safely within reach of the regenerating block and explains that its drops are picked up from the world.
• Generator upgrades show the island bank balance, price and missing amount before confirmation. An insufficient balance is presented as a normal economy outcome with a direct path to the merchant, not as a technical server failure.
• Joining a minigame queue from Skyblock keeps the queue intent active. If Skyblock items still block the eventual hand-off, the existing deposit-all screen opens automatically so the player can prepare without guessing a command.
• A protected inventory exit is no longer logged as a fatal lobby teleport error. Real destination-load and teleport failures remain high-severity server errors.
• The compact Skyblock HUD refreshes before Minecraft fades the action bar, removing the repeated disappear-and-return effect while keeping database refreshes bounded.
• All new menu guidance is localized across Cookie Build's supported server languages.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Keep playing while your next match fills

Spectating, passive queues and safe match reconnection keep quiet periods useful without pulling players out of Skyblock too early.

• Running MicroBattles, Pitchout, SkyWars, BuildBattles, TurfWars and BedWars matches can be opened in spectator mode from the game menu on Java and Bedrock. Spectators never occupy a participant slot or receive match statistics or rewards.
• While playing Skyblock or watching another match, players can join a minigame queue without leaving their current activity. The move happens only after the waiting room is ready and every selected player can leave safely.
• Queue status and cancellation are available through Java and Bedrock menus. Expired, full or replaced rooms are handled without silently moving a player.
• Players who are alone are guided towards available solo activities, especially Skyblock, while keeping the full game selector one action away.
• A short-lived in-game invitation appears when an underfilled waiting room needs players and again after a match ends. Automatic mobile player calls have been removed; an app notification is sent only after a player or administrator explicitly calls for teammates.
• A player who disconnects from an active match can return to the same MicroBattles, Pitchout, SkyWars, BuildBattles, TurfWars or BedWars session while its safe reconnect reservation is still valid. Cooldowns and temporary effects continue to expire normally while disconnected.
• Profile loading, lobby hand-offs and arena teleports now use a bounded safe-landing window, preventing slow Java or Bedrock world loading from causing a false “Flying is not enabled” kick.
• Spectator exits, arena cleanup, Skyblock transfers and co-op removals preserve authoritative inventories and permissions before any lobby hand-off.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock gets a complete island economy

A dedicated island bank, merchant, usable warehouse, social islands and deeper progression make every resource useful on Java, Bedrock and mobile.

• Skyblock now uses a dedicated shared island bank instead of the global minigame wallet. Every credit, purchase, fee and upgrade is recorded in an auditable Skyblock ledger.
• A merchant on every island provides guaranteed buy and sell prices for common resources, with safe daily limits so a new island can progress without depending on another game or an empty player market.
• Warehouse resources can be withdrawn safely into the Minecraft inventory. Deposits and withdrawals use recoverable transfers so reconnects and full inventories cannot duplicate or lose a stack.
• Market prices, quantities, unit prices, totals, fees and proceeds are presented consistently. Java, Bedrock and mobile share the same 5% fee and 48-hour listing policy.
• Co-op owners can transfer ownership; members can leave; invitations can be declined or revoked; role changes are audited. Owners and managers alone may spend the shared bank.
• Islands stay private by default but can be published for read-only visits. Players can browse profiles, warp, return home and leave one unique like without being able to alter another island.
• Collections, bounded skill perks, worker upgrades, quests and deterministic daily or weekly objectives provide clearer long-term goals and rewards.
• The Cookie Build app separates the global Kit Shop, the Skyblock Merchant and the player-to-player Market. It supports worker upgrades, objectives and granular opt-in sale, full-worker and ready-objective notifications with quiet hours.
• Economy and retention health are visible through aggregate dashboards covering money creation and destruction, merchant volume, market liquidity, storage invariants, sessions and D1/D7/D30 return rates.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Safer Skyblock loading and livelier lobby guides

Skyblock entry now lands players safely on their island, every lobby guide shows the mode's live activity, and compact champion heads return.

• Skyblock entry and rejoin now place players directly on safe solid ground, preventing illegal-flight disconnects on slower clients.
• Every game guide in the main lobby now shows the total number of online players currently active in that mode.
• Counts include players across every open or running arena instead of only one preferred match.
• Skyblock reports its persistent active sessions through the same compact guide label.
• Where ranking data exists, one best-player head returns beside the game guide, while the large weekly ranking panels stay disabled to keep the spawn open and readable.
• The changes are available to Java and Bedrock players.

Skyblock gets a new lobby spotlight

A glowing Skyblock guide and illustrated island sign now make the beta easier to find, while a cleaner spawn leaves more room to explore.

• Find Skyblock from its new glowing bee guide in the main lobby.
• The illustrated floating-island sign makes the Skyblock entrance easy to recognize on Java and Bedrock.
• Interact with the guide to enter your persistent Skyblock activity directly.
• Weekly champion statues and ranking panels have been removed from the lobby for now, reducing visual clutter around each game entrance.
• The central player activity display remains available so you can still see when the server is active.

French, German and Italian arrive on the Cookie Build website

The Cookie Build website now offers complete French, German and Italian journeys alongside every existing regional language, with more reliable switching and clearer search results.

• Choose Français, Deutsch or Italiano from the language menu on the home page, games catalog or any game guide.
• French, German and Italian players now get fully translated connection help, game rules, objectives, frequently asked questions and server-status wording.
• The language selector now opens the chosen regional page reliably on desktop and mobile.
• Every translated page identifies its own language and address while linking search engines to all matching regional versions.
• The sitemap includes every localized home page, catalog and guide for French, German, Italian, Australian English, Bulgarian, Peruvian Spanish, Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese.
• Existing Bulgarian, Spanish, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese and Australian English routes remain available without changing their addresses.

Cookie Build adds five regional language journeys

The website, core Java and Bedrock menus, and supported companion-app actions now share clearer regional language choices for Australia, Bulgaria, Peru, India and Brazil.

• Choose English for Australia, Bulgarian for Bulgaria, Spanish for Peru, Hindi for India or Brazilian Portuguese for Brazil from the website language menu.
• The home page, game catalog and guides for Skyblock, BedWars, Build Battle, MicroBattles, Pitchout, SkyWars and Turf Wars keep the selected language while players explore.
• Each translated guide includes regional connection help, readable game objectives and the same stable Cookie Build server address.
• Core lobby and supported game menus now present translated labels across Java and Bedrock while keeping every action consistent between editions.
• Supported companion-app navigation and shared game actions use the same target languages, including the available Skyblock management, inventory and market journeys.
• Search results can discover the matching regional page instead of treating every translated guide as the same page.
• The language selector, page language and social sharing descriptions stay aligned for a clearer experience with browsers and assistive technology.

Clearer illustrated menus across Cookie Build on Bedrock

Bedrock players now get more readable illustrated buttons and guided menu journeys across the lobby, minigames, BedWars shops and Skyblock.

• The Bedrock lobby, game picker, queue and replay screens now use consistent Cookie Build images so joining, switching games, practising, rallying friends and replaying are easier to recognise.
• Every current MicroBattles and SkyWars kit has its own illustrated selector. BuildBattles palette actions and Pitchout voting and replay actions keep the same clear navigation.
• BedWars shop categories, all current items and team upgrades are now illustrated, making it easier to distinguish equipment and purchases before confirming an action.
• Skyblock keeps its guided Island, Progression and Community sections, with matching images for storage, generators, workers, quests, co-op and the market.
• All buttons retain their full text labels on high-contrast tiles. If an image is unavailable, the readable text button remains usable instead of hiding the action.
• All seven Cookie Build modes remain available from the shared game picker on Java and Bedrock. Reconnect once on Bedrock so your device can apply the current server pack.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock menus stay responsive on Bedrock

Reopening the Skyblock menu on Bedrock no longer leaves its actions stuck on the main page after an empty warehouse deposit.

• Reopening the Skyblock menu with its inventory selector now coalesces duplicate Bedrock interaction events into one form.
• The visible form keeps the current action session, so Island, Progression, Community and their submenus open normally instead of returning to the main page.
• Attempting a warehouse deposit without an allowed resource still leaves every item untouched and shows the existing guidance. You can then reopen the menu and continue immediately.
• Stale and repeated action responses remain rejected to prevent an action from running twice.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock beta availability, clearly explained

Skyblock is playable on Java and Bedrock, while companion management remains a limited beta and mobile market actions stay closed until their own safety checks are complete.

This update replaces an earlier note .

• Minecraft — Java and Bedrock: Cookie Orchard islands, progression, workers, quests, co-op and the in-game economy are available as a beta.
• Public iOS and Android app: the current 2.1.3 store release does not include Skyblock companion management.
• Limited 2.1.4 companion builds: linked players can review their island and use generator, worker, quest and valid co-op actions only when each capability is available.
• Mobile player market: buying, selling and cancelling remain unavailable until that capability is enabled separately after economy and release checks. No store upload or source build opens it automatically.
• Website: the eight supported language routes now keep the same page when switching language. Pages awaiting a full translation show an explicit English notice instead of a missing page.
• Supported language journeys: Australian English, French, German, Italian, Bulgarian, Peruvian Spanish, Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese.

Skyblock gets guided menus and mobile island management

The first Bedrock lobby screen is illustrated, Skyblock actions now stay inside guided menus, and the internal iOS/TestFlight companion-app beta can manage core island progression.

• The first Cookie Build lobby screen on Bedrock now uses the versioned Cookie Build icon pack for Quick Play, Games, Goals, Friends, Party, Events, the app and Help. Text labels remain visible if an image cannot load.
• Skyblock no longer asks players to type a follow-up command to complete an action. Generator upgrades, worker collection, quest chapters and rewards, storage, market deposits and co-op management now use shared Java and Bedrock submenus.
• Generator confirmations are tied to the exact island version, tier and coin cost shown on screen. Delayed or stale responses are rejected instead of applying a different upgrade.
• Co-op invitations can be reviewed and accepted through a dedicated menu, and the main Skyblock menu keeps its safe Return to Lobby action.
• The companion-app beta, currently an internal iOS release distributed through TestFlight, adds a compact island-management area for generator upgrades, worker collection, quest rewards and co-op invitation acceptance. Android is not included in this beta. Existing inventory, market and listing screens remain separate so the four-tab app navigation stays unchanged.
• Mobile management and market writes remain independently gated during the beta. Every write requires the authenticated primary Minecraft link and an idempotency key.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Skyblock actions stay visible and Bedrock gains clearer icons

Skyblock commands stay visible, a direct lobby return is available, and Bedrock navigation can now use the verified Cookie Build icon pack.

• Selecting a Skyblock action now closes the current menu before the command, confirmation or status message runs. The result stays visible instead of being covered by the menu again.
• A dedicated Return to Lobby action is available from the Skyblock menu on Java and Bedrock. Existing inventory-transfer safeguards still prevent unsafe exits.
• Navigation buttons still open the intended Skyblock submenu, with stale Java clicks and delayed Bedrock responses rejected safely.
• Bedrock players receive the Cookie Build UI resource pack when they connect. Depending on the device's server-pack setting and cache, the download can happen automatically without showing a confirmation prompt.
• The pack adds illustrated game, action and BedWars category buttons while keeping every text label visible. If an image cannot load, the action remains readable and usable.
• Reconnect once on Bedrock after this update so the server can apply the current pack.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Clearer Skyblock access on Java and Bedrock

A persistent island menu and a clearer multi-game picker make it easier to enter Skyblock, understand each mode and move around Cookie Build on either Minecraft edition.

• Once you are on your island, a dedicated Skyblock Menu item stays available in your inventory and opens your island controls with one action.
• The selector is restored safely after reconnecting or respawning without replacing the resources you already carry. It cannot be dropped, stored, consumed or duplicated.
• The game picker now gives every mode its own details before you join, including its goal, main rules and beta or stable status.
• Bedrock players get the same multi-mode journey in native forms organised into clear submenus, with Join, Back and Close actions.
• Skyblock remains a beta: if the mode needs maintenance, its status is shown before admission rather than sending you into an unavailable island.
• This release covers in-game access and navigation. Buying or selling through the companion app is not part of this beta announcement.
• Java: play.cookie-build.com
• Bedrock: play.cookie-build.com, port 19132

Minecraft Bedrock 26.45 support

Cookie Build now accepts Minecraft Bedrock 26.45 while keeping Java access and existing cross-play unchanged.

• Players using Minecraft Bedrock 26.45 can now join Cookie Build.
• Supported Bedrock 26.x versions and Java 26.2 continue to share the same games and progression.
• Existing worlds, player progress and gameplay rules are unchanged.

Build, grow and trade in Cookie Skyblock

A persistent Cookie Orchard island, guided progression, helpers and a safe player market arrive together on Minecraft and the companion app.

• Create a permanent Cookie Orchard in the sky, expand its protected building area and improve a resource generator through five tiers.
• Follow twelve guided quests across three chapters and grow mining, farming, foraging and combat skills.
• Invite trusted players to your co-op and use island roles to keep building and market permissions under control.
• Deposit supported resources from either Minecraft edition, then manage listings and purchases securely from the companion app.
• Market purchases use coins earned through play only. Coins cannot be bought, converted to money or redeemed outside Cookie Build.
• Miner, farmer and lumberjack helpers keep producing for up to twelve hours while you are away.
• Java inventory menus and Bedrock forms share the same gameplay actions and server-side checks.

Smoother matches and a fairer SkyWars

Rematches are more reliable across every game, while SkyWars now offers fairer loot, better pacing, and clearer guidance for new players.

• Arenas now reset in the background while players remain online, making consecutive matches and rematches more reliable across every game.
• SkyWars island chests guarantee essential equipment, central chests contain stronger rewards, and duplicate unusable gear is avoided.
• SkyWars now adapts spawn selection for small matches, guides each player toward their next objective, refills chests mid-match, and brings the border in earlier.
• Player tracking helps conclude close SkyWars matches, which now finish within six minutes with clear and fair tiebreaks.
• MicroBattles, Pitchout, and Turf Wars now have shorter match limits, fair draw handling, and clearer end-game pacing.
• Core menus, scoreboards, shops, and match messages are available in English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese across Java and Bedrock.

A smoother first session on Cookie Build

New players now see a shorter welcome, clearer waiting choices, practice that keeps their place in the queue, and simple replay options on Java and Bedrock.

This update replaces an earlier note .

• The welcome stays available until the player chooses an activity.
• While waiting, players can leave the queue, change activity, practice, or call for other players.
• Practice keeps the player's place in the queue and stops automatically when the match begins.
• After a match, players can replay the same game, choose another activity, or return to the lobby.
• The main first-session experience is available in English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
• The website now shows Java and Bedrock status separately and provides clear rules, safety help, and service status pages.
• Navigation and lobby artwork have also been refreshed for a more consistent experience.

BedWars is now in open beta

Cookie Colosseum is open on Java and Bedrock while we continue to tune balance and reliability from player feedback.

This update replaces an earlier note .

• This update replaces the earlier Coming Soon preview.

Mobile play hub availability update

A clearer first session on Cookie Build

New players now get clearer guidance, useful queue controls, faster solo practice, native replay choices, and a more transparent public server experience.

• The welcome flow is now completed only after an explicit player action, with a shorter scoreboard and first-match rules focused on what to do next.
• Waiting players can see that they are queued and use clear Java and Bedrock actions to leave, change activity, practise, or call interested players.
• Solo practice is available without abandoning the queue, and idle waits offer useful alternatives sooner.
• Post-match controls now make it easy to replay the same game, choose the next activity, or return to the lobby on Java and Bedrock.
• The core new-player journey is available in English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
• The public server identity and MOTD now describe Cookie Build consistently as a Java and Bedrock mini-games network with quests and community events.
• The website now checks Java and Bedrock separately, reports zero players honestly, and distinguishes an unavailable status check from a confirmed outage.
• Server rules and safety help are published in English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, including how to mute, block, report, and contact support.
• Navigation, missing-page guidance, project documentation, metadata, and the lobby artwork have been cleaned up for a more consistent Cookie Build experience.

The BedWars server guide is live

A dedicated BedWars page now explains the Cookie Colosseum rules, Java and Bedrock cross-play, connection details, shops and cookie economy.

BedWars enters beta at the Cookie Colosseum

Protect your bed, spend bakery cookies and fight across a purpose-built floating arena—now in beta on Java and Bedrock.

Cookie BedWars is now open in beta on Cookie Build. Join a team, defend your bakery bed, collect cookies at your base, bridge to diamond and emerald islands, and eliminate every rival team in the Cookie Colosseum. Java players get native inventory shops and Bedrock players get native forms backed by the same prices and rules. Because this is a beta, the mode may be temporarily disabled while we fix an issue. Please do not hesitate to send us any bug you find on Discord or Twitter/X—it genuinely helps us improve the game.

BedWars beta lobby countdown stabilized

Waiting text now stays visible and a BedWars countdown starts only when at least two opposing teams are represented.

• The waiting status above the hotbar is now refreshed continuously for every queued player instead of fading between updates.
• A party placed together on one team no longer triggers a false countdown while no opposing team is present.
• If a lobby loses a required opponent during the countdown, the timer resets on the next server tick.
• BedWars is now labelled Beta in the Java and Bedrock game selectors while the strict release environment flag continues to control admission.
• Please do not hesitate to report beta bugs on Discord or Twitter/X so we can investigate them quickly.

Your Cookie Build play hub comes to mobile

The companion app adds an earned-coin kit shop, live linked-player status, focused per-game stats and history, and low-noise tools for finding players.

• See your verified Minecraft username and current online status from Home and Profile.
• Spend earned Cookie Build coins on the real MicroBattles and SkyWars kit catalogs, unlock eligible upgrades, and select the kit used in your next match. No real-money purchase is involved.
• Open a focused Stats submenu for games played, wins, win rate, eliminations, a 30-day activity graph, and recent match history per game mode.
• Find players by exact username or recent shared matches, see privacy-scoped friend and party presence, and understand when player-call alerts are disabled.
• Use a low-noise notification setup, category controls, selected-friend alerts, presence privacy, and quiet hours without crowding the main pages.

BedWars preview opens at the Cookie Colosseum

• Java players use native inventory shops while Bedrock players receive native forms backed by the exact same catalog, prices, validation, and purchase rules.
