I am still adding new stuff to 1.21.
In one of the earlier posts there was a screenshot where you could glimpse a ray underwater. Here’s a full video showing how they behave:
Big thanks for all the reproduction reports on the forever burning coal block. I’ve got it nailed down and fixed. This time it was more difficult, took me two days to get to the bottom of it.
While doing it, I discovered a whole host of bugs to do with terrain updating, and the coal block issue was really only a tip of the iceberg. Another aspect of the same problem were fences that would not join:
Yet another aspect would manifest itself as broken lighting, where you could see a sharp edge between lit and unlit areas. It’s all fixed in 1.21!
The bug was so destructive I am quite amazed that 1.20 even works while it’s still in :-)
There’s a big new mechanics coming to the game in the next release, but I haven’t made much progress on it in the last couple of days, mostly due to this bug. I’ll restart the work on it today.
The rays video is not the only one you can watch today. Jriot made a short tutorial on how to download and upload worlds and Dave published another episode of Let’s Play Survivalcraft.

S:switchB:wire through block L:lightbulb
SBBL
Will the lightbulb turn on/off.Whats the new feature?Farming,armor,or transportation?
i take it that rays cant burrow in to stone
Hey kaalus I’d like 2 know how to make a world for community content on kindle fire because it always says ”ERROR 401” when I try to put it on dropbox.
GREAT!
Keep up the awesome work. I can’t wait for the next update. I am having a text bug pop up after coming to WordPress and going back to sc via phones back button all text in black on the sc home screen is unreadable.
HTC vivid/raider
Os 4.0.3
Green font I mean.
Any chance of improved underwater sight for me its near impossible to see a thing underwater with brightness at 10.
Kaalus remember for every animal you make there has to be a porpose for them such as if a sting ray drops barbs to put on the end of spears
One might say that the main purpose of flora and fauna is to make the world seem more alive. With this update Kaalus now seems to certainly have all of his bases covered (land, sea, sky). But I agree that the barbs from the rays could be used for something. Seeing how we have spear tips already, what about sewing needles for when the clothing/armor system gets added?
Good idea my friend
Thats a good idea, but HE is the creater, not u (dont mean to sound harsh, its a good idea, but seriously)
Yes, please do improved water sight
Kaalus, I make clock, but when I go far away it stop count time. How can I solve this problem? I need your help.
Please see my map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q5oyi412lgib5p2/Omingang%20House.scworld
Tip is, dont get too far away from it.
When you get too far away the electric cicuit resets. You need to stay in the loaded part of the game.
I know about it. But I think Kaalus can make something to solve this problem. For example make electric element that make circuit does not reset if you go far away.
Excellent news and the video is great – it’s nice to see you putting more and more daylight between SC & MCPE. MCPE is a great game, but I like the fact that yours has its own character and flavour and is much less about mining than surviving, so the more environmental challenges you put in for us to overcome the better I say :)
Even though they are gentle, one of those little bastards killed Steve Irwin but I like the new up date and for the next one you should make a breakage effect( if you use your fist to break blocks you break your hands or if you fall too far you sprain a ankle) something that makes it more real
Lol
Thanks for posting my vid, also why are you so good at developing this game? Those stingrays have to be the coolest thing ever. But the only problem I see is that you need a way for people to actually want to hunt them.
nice vid jriot keep em coming
Kaalus, can you fix one more problem: when happy new yaer tree is blinking the game go very slower. Sorry for my English.
Its your phone or tablet that makes this problem. Your proccesser is under strain when the electric circuit is switched on
Maybe cod need some optimization. My phone Samsung SGS 9000.
I found a bug and it is really strange. I can sometimes see through walls and look at the electrics behind it. However, when I do this the electrics look warped and so does the wall. On the same map, part of the floor was invisible. I have a bunch of screenshots but don’t know how to post them. If someone could help me post screenshots that would be great.
You’re a telepath!
This Bug Occurs Alot for me, All you have to do is Put a Block or a Fence Right there then Destroy the Block
xD
Great job :-) and i like joe’s idea. Stingrays could drop barbs to make more spears with. Perhaps the stingray spears can poison animals or deal more damage than a normal spear would. While Im thinking of it please don’t make the fish drop bacon though, we need more meat and food types in general.
Maybe bacon wrapped fish ;)
The bug of wodden fences happens here all the time ‘-‘
Will we still be able to find the new mobs and any other new features in our older maps? Thats one thing that always scares me about updates. I don’t want to have to start a new world to see the new features.
Brown rays, yellow rays, shark and the other 3
kaalus that is the texture of the image?
If barbs would be available from rays how about creating a blow gun that you can shoot them out of.
This is the best idea that I’ve seen on how to use the barbs.
Kaalus when is the update coming out?
Kaalus we need different kind of meat , because if we kill a shark or cow in real life I’m pretty sure it won’t give us bacon
cow =steak
Shark =fin soup
Rays = fish eggs
Ray barbs = sewing needles for food
I think he should just rename “bacon” to “meat”.
Sorry typo didn’t mean for food on the end lol!
Lol, ur right though
Perhaps the raw fish meat can grant more “life points” than the raw bacon/bird meat. Sushi, anyone?
Wow kaalus you done it again ,fantastic job ,keep up the great work. I think I just found a bug ,when Downloading worlds or block texture content from the community when I press more ( when i had loaded a few world and textures )it says ,Error not supported exception .is this a bug or not?
I have the same bug and I can’t see my publish content because I see the same error message everytime. Kaalus please check this bug.
That’s what happens when you load a large amount.
Screenshot: http://cs3-4.4pda.to/2647953/snap20130306_100555.png?0018287ad557815f5136e2ce00000000fcbbcfbeab53ee17769562df43159437
I have this too.
This should be fixed now, please give it a try and let me know.
Now all work right. And I can see my publish world. Thank you!
4pda.ru? Does that mean that you are a pirate?
Does that mean that you are a school boy?
Boats and railcars
I watched the video…so cool, I just really hope ur adding tameing of animals,breeding or training. It would be so awsome if u added multiplayer.mainly multiplayer and tameing, it gets sorta lonely on ths game. (Eeh, I could have said that better)
If you want”TAMING OF ANAMALS”(ect) get minecraft PC dont get survial craft into that crap.
Y not I think its a good idea
You could call it training instead of taming and I think the idea is good if you do it with the rout animals like the wolf’s to dogs
You should be able to tame all just different things to tame like shark=meat wolf=meat bear=meat bird=seeds when we get farming boar=meat jk canibalizm
And why not? I understand people not wanting ‘magic’ in SC, but taming and training animals is quite realistic and a very much requested feature.
Well….first of all, survivalcraft is way better than minecraft, second of all this is called SURVIVAL craft, half the reson why mankind survived is because we created dog to help us wth hunting, tracking, an alarm system…..ect. and third of all……it would just be cool if there was tameing and training.
I think that taming some animals would be a good idea as companionship is something nearly always sought out by humans in survivalist situations, whether it is the joy of finding a footprint in the sand or the simple ability to feed birds through the bars of a prison window. It’s no mistake that wild dogs/wolves were domesticated by humans early on in our evolution as they provided a real & valued security service to their human masters – something that would go nicely with the survival ethos of the game I think.
Not quite as sure about taming a shark though. Dolphins yes, sharks probably not :-D
Humans did not evole from birds it a lie.
And I dont mean wolf to dog, I think maybe you could make it to where it takes a few mi utes to have a dog companion from a wolf, also you could probably find other things to tame like birds, bears, cows,….and maybe sharks.
Hey this is completely differenet so if u give a wolf a bone it will have harets filyin out of it kaalus does not want to make a copy of mc or notch might sue him. I know i want that too but we cant copy evreything that notch made. Beside where would we even get those items or we would copy a skelotn from notchs head and we wolud be making minecraft a toadal ripoff besides this is for moble not pc like minecraft(i wish it was) . And kaalus wants it to be realistic.
I dont like it when people persuaid me
Mason, like I said b 4, tameing wouldnt have to be like in mc, it could take up to 5 minutes to tame a wolf, and it probably wouldn’t be useing a bone, kaalus is better than that. But half the reason why mankind is alive was because we had wolves helping us wth an alarm system against prehistoric beasts such as the sabertoothed tiger, and other predators. If u think about it, if a man was marooned on a island for a long period of time, he would find ways to tame animals….u have any idea how lonely they would get? I get lonely playing. Lol
And honestly, in those times, and in anytime there weren’t, and isn’t skeletons. Like you said , he wants it realistic, wolves r a huge part in our history, and dogs are a giant part in out lives. Knowing kaalus, he could probably find a way of tameing like how we did when man created dog, we slowly earned their trust by feeding them pieces of meat, and by giving them companionship. What part of that is coppying mc? (Btw, I would nvr compare minecraft to survivalcraft, survivalcraft makes way more sence).
I think a new weapon, a blow gun, would be good. Then you can use the barbs from the rays as darts for the blow gun.
Please, make deep lakes!
good idea
Hi! I have some ideas for the game (srry for my english :3 ). For this you would need to add armor first. Maybe you could make the game more challenging by making biomes more dangerous! In the desert over day the player has to wear a hat or he will die from heat and at night a chestplate (shirt) or he will freeze to death. And you can’t stay in winterbiomes very long without clothes or you will also freeze to death.
I think that will make the game a lot more fun! :) :)
cool
I’m making a city in survival craft. And with this new update Ill be able to make an aquarium. But if the other animals aren’t sea animals. Ill make a zoo. So CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE OTHER ANIMALS ARE SO I WILL NOT MAKE THIS AQUARIUM FOR NO REASON. O. NOW that animals can bury themselves maybe the will be small land animal. If you want to see pictures of my world go to http://www.myblockyworld.webs.com
I became a member.BTW why is there no 2001-2005 in the years thingy when you wanna register?
I don’t know. The site is still kinda being worked on
Is it okay that i was born in 2002 but since there are no 2002 i selected 2000.I didnt allow people to see my age btw
I think hawks and squirrels should be in this game
Kaalus I once had a glich when making a world so it didn’t generate the whole terrain it only had mountains and around it was all water can you make a seed for islands simular to this
google transl (from russian):
What about mutant worms? they move underground (only in soft rock). but can not pass through the stone and other hard woods. crawling into the tunnel they move even more quickly and are hard to kill, so we must ensure that the walls of the tunnel were firm … on the ground. in a place where the worm crawling may appear hump, and to be with him that the worm could have got out and attack … they are quite aggressive and go to vibration, such as in the movie “Tremors” ….
or what some other underground enemies as they really do not have enough! : (
As much as this sounds cool and as much as i love tremors, the first few movies anyway, this would make the game very hard. Maybe if the worms were only in the desert or something but not everywhere.
The idea of underground monsters is actually a damn good one! Good thinking fella! After all, there are no worries about darkness spawning creatures as there are in MC/MCPE so mines are actually very safe places to be. Burrowing worms causing cave-ins would add some much needed drama to mining :)
let it be in the sand (for example), let them crawl in rare minerals, though it will not be worms, moles, demons or whatever, but they are not enough really.
built the house after leaving the ground lost in the game of survival element other than that of shatter when dropped.
werewolves chase even in water (you need a fish?) but no one is under the ground …. Do not know who, how, and I’ll spend there most of the time.
when I started to play in the pit, which was digging, came upon a monster (I did not know yet that this is a werewolf and he just jumped into the pit to me) I was very happy, unnecessarily thought that there is a danger under the ground … . but it turned out that there is no (((
Esle shto ya tebai magu perevitie russkie na angleski
да я и сам в нем понимаю. просто пишу с работы, пока начальство вышло. т.ч. решил не заморачиваться с точностью, а просто передать идею, может кто поддержит. Но все равно спасибо!
Lol, is it just me, or does this sound like graboids from the movie tremors?
He made the reverence to tremors (not graboids) I love that movie today
Fail I didn’t mean to add that
Uh, the movie’s name was tremors, not the creatures in it, the creatures in it were called graboids, look it up, or watch it again.
It would be great if you could make that animals eat each other, like in natural world. Cows wolud eats grass, wolves would eat cows… etc
And you could feed your animals… It would be great too that animals were diferent size randomly. Or that they could grow…
I’ve always loved games where there is some form of AI system for animals hunting animals – it makes the world seem more alive when you randomly come across, for example, a wolf fighting a bull desperately protecting his herd of cows :) I wrote something about this on my blog a few months ago whilst playing Guild Wars 2: http://headburroantfarm.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/guild-wars-2-when-animals-attack/
yah make the game seem more realistic by the wolves and bears attacking the cows and other animals. If you have a heard of cows you would have to protect them.
Animal Breeding any body think thats a good idea?
Leather for cloths
Bobo, I like the idea of animal breeding as well as animal companionship, it would probably come together (great idea though!)
Could you possibly add a map to the game
Jungle biome I do want a jungle
Yes with vines
Vines are the best part
I know its kind unrealistic but could you add some sort of teleporter so you can get to one place the next.
Kind of
A teleporter would b cool, like if u had lets say “a teleporter block” (example block letterA)you could place it somewhere random, then place another “teleporter block” (example bock letter B)somewhere else, and if u flip a switch connected to it, it would teleport u to block A, and if u wanted to go 2 block B, then u could flip the switch on block A, and u would b transported to block B
Will there be animal breeding like with the cows and bulls
Kaalus please do so by clicking on the “sit down” could pass through a hole in one block. Squats and animation of the second person.
Yeah so animals can’t git I n
You should put a microwave i n and video camra also put whips if you killed a cow i t wouild give you hide
Glory make whips
What texture pack r u useing in the screen shot above
Actually that is my john smith furniture pack in the screenshot. here is a link to it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8xdqo1pd3f5ur7/1.20john_smith_furniture.png i know because that is my screenshot that i posted when i reported the bug in the forums. Its cool to see kaalus using it in his blog :-)
gracias por la informacion ya descargue la textura y se ve muy bien
I think he’s using selda mix.
Kaalus when is the update coming out?
The defult texture could be more beatiful…
THe jungle can have vines used to make a bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to demonstrate how I think we should be able to make a bow and arrow, for this we will need to have vines like Robofighter1000 said and barbs from stingray rails.
This is for the bow
w=wood, v=vines, .=nothing
W W V
W . V
W W V
This is for the arrow
s=stick, b=barb, .=nothing
. . .
B S S
. . .
Sorry, I meant to say tails.
You should be able to crawl through holes in walls if you go into sneak mode. Also, Also you could make a sealed bucket and pipe for breathing for extended times under water, goggles to see, maps to see where you’ve been(must carry it around the area to map, only can catalog the surface terrain and of a 500×500 block range), water pressure, smoke from fire, plumbing (sprinkler systems, pipes, vacuums for draining an area and moving it somewhere else, transformers for changing piped water to blocky flowing water, etc.). Please see my other posts in the Coal Block Bug page.
We don’t need maps we have compasses and SURVIVAL is in the name so it would not be fare for goggles or breathing pipes.

Can you also add densely wooded areas and wider troubled trees? Thanks.
Sorry. The system changed my spelling. “Troubled” Is supposed to be “trunked”.
Big post coming up. May take a few minutes.
In a later version of survivalcraft, assuming you get really far in the game, you may not want to do much and be leisurely. The following will need an enlarged crafting table. Create an enlarged crafting table by putting crafting tables in a crafting table. The following electrics should be added after multiplayer: Robots and scanners. Robots may be programmed to build, hunt and collect blocks. For collecting blocks and hunting, you place a sample of what the robot needs to find in its scanning chamber. It will locate the block or animal and mine or kill it. You specify how much it needs to find before coming back to where it was placed. If you want it to go faster you may give it tools and a chest to go to to get another tool for mining or hunting. Animals won’t attack it in any mode unless attacked. If you give any thought to making the aquatic animals have resources, you will need to create a water proof robot. To create a regular robot you need a scanner, copper wire, iron block and wheels. (I’m sure you will make some for minecarts and whatnot.) The scanner needs a lightbulb and a pressure plate. It can detect a player who taps it. You can program it so that if yo or a certain player, it will do one thing, while for others it will do another thing. ex. You program it to open a door for you but it will pour lava on another. It has 2 out puts and generates its own electricity. You decide which output does what. That’s all for now. I hope you’re reading this.
The scanner sounds really cool, but a robot doesn’t seem right.
Correction: half an hour. (2 posts up assuming someone else posted something at the same time)
There should be a “hasn’t” between “else” and “posted”.
Are you gonna add multiplayer soon???????
I hope so, and if so, then to be able to change the way the character looks.
There’s an issue to where when I choose to start the game it loads then says the game can’t be accessed, it also says on the message that I can suppress it, but the game never loads.
How do you get more hearts than four
When r u going to make armour and rename the food. I think it would be good if u added boats and railroads.
Also one big thing I came up with that u could think of in future is Abandoned Mine Shafts
Thanks big fan!
So true
CAN U add multiplayer I want to get my grief on!
Soo right maybe online play also talk icon
RSLE SHTO, ya magu tebe pereviste s rucckava na angliskie
Ok,I read all of your post and now I’m going to tell you some stuff.First,I am a girl I’m not telling my name but call me LuvSurvivalGames anyway I think you should add pistons not to copy Minecraft but it would be nice to build contractsons or in another way traps,and cool stuff.I also think you should add dolphins and make cows have a fifty precent chance of dropping leather so you could make saddles I know it sounds hard but it is not.Also you should add horses but only if you add saddles cause then you can ride them also I heard a lot about taming and why not think it is a good idea because you could have almost like a relistic dog and I know how you would tame it you would first craft them and craft several because he might need five to ten treats anyway this is how you would craft it first,add two meats at every end then add bird meat into the middle but cooked meat or bird make it a better chance of taming a wolf ok that is all I have for today peace and please reply!P.S add BUTTER!!!!!!(gold)
Peace from,
LuvSurvivalGames
Also try this guy on YouTube SkyDoesMinecraft again and last time saying it…..peace out!
From,
LuvSurvivalGames
Why does this game always freeze when im under water :c
How do you get more than four hearts
yo kaalus may we have boats and …go carts.. go carts need tracks to ride.. make a tool to clear ground for go cart track :D boats.. THE CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE ON WATER…and hostile underwater creeps….and riding animals…. PLEASE…i dont care if there are no stuff except riding animals..
I whant the new upgrand………………………………………………..OF SRVIVALCRAFT!
You need to add bows armour Definitely a sanity meter, and a way to win the game
You should add 2 different game modes, one would have magic demons and all that stuff butt the other
you could keep it realistic. Comment about what you think kaalus.
U should add taming and multiyplayer mode.
