It adds the goblin faction, Goblin Breaches, the Runestone ability system, seven goblin tools and gadgets, the first handcrafted dungeon and minigames, and it changes food, potions and the durability of every tool and weapon tier. This summary covers the changes players will notice, from the official Chapter I notes of October 12, 2026.

Update 7 at a Glance

• New faction: the goblins, reworked, in many shapes and sizes.

• Also new: 2 portal worlds, over 100 cosmetics, French and Spanish.

New Chapter 1 Content

The Goblins

The official notes describe the goblins as completely revamped. The pre-release notes named six types:

• Goblin Scrapper: a light melee fighter that attacks in swarms.
• Goblin Miner: a heavy melee fighter with a powerful leap attack.
• Goblin Guardian: heavily armored and defends with a shield.
• Goblin Lobber: a ranged fighter that throws bombs.
• Goblin Burner: a ranged fighter with a flamethrower. Burners no longer appear in goblin mines.
• Goblin Feastmaster: a huge, heavy goblin. See Chapter 1 Bosses.

Void creatures no longer roam the Echo of Orbis at night, are hostile to goblins, and most goblins run from them unless they have friends nearby.

Goblin Breaches

Breaches begin once a few nights have passed in your world, or as soon as you investigate the disturbance at the Forgotten Temple. A breach arrives with force, so stand back. On the other side is The Guttering Hollows, which is rebuilt every time you enter, until the Void forces you out. Hunts there need a Voidheart, and hunt sites have their own map icon.

The Forgotten Temple

Chapter 1 starts at the Forgotten Temple: explore its new Goblin Lab to unlock the chapter, and a Chapter screen lists your objectives. The bed there can no longer be used. See Goblin Gadgets.

The Deepworks

The dungeon at the end of Chapter 1 has rooms full of goblins, flames and falling debris, puzzles and checkpoints. The Goblin Feastmaster blocks the way, and the Gobliterator waits at the end. See Chapter 1 Bosses.

Runes and Mana

Runestones go into a Runebinder's Lattice, and one stands in the Forgotten Temple. You can have two Ability Runestones active at a time, each with its own Modifier Runestones. Mana now sits where the Stamina bar was, refills on its own, and Signature abilities restore some when they hit. Casting an ability cuts your movement speed by 40% for a moment. See the Runes List.

Goblin Gadgets

Seven tools and gadgets: the Scrap Drill breaks a 2x2 patch at once, the Spyglass zooms in, the Scrap Glider lets you glide, dive and climb, the Rocket Boots give a double jump, the Hookshot pulls you to Hook Anchors, the Bangstick is thrown and goes bang, and the Goblin Repair Kit repairs items without lowering their maximum durability. See Goblin Gadgets.

Minigames

Minigames open from the main menu with matchmaking, solo or in a party. Prop Hunt has Props hide as objects while Hunters find them, and caught Props switch sides. Shuffle Jam plays a random mix of 12 microgames, such as TNT Run and Memory Floor. The official notes say they arrive shortly after Chapter 1.

Revenant Guardian

The Skeleton Elite of the pre-release is now called the Revenant Guardian and carries its own armor and weapons.

Food, Potions and Combat Changes

Melee and crossbow attacks also changed:

• Sword, dagger, mace and battleaxe attacks are about 15% faster.
• Attacking now slows you: crossbows by 50%, swords, maces and battleaxes by 25%, daggers by 15%.
• Iron Crossbow combo shots deal 13 damage (from 27). Ancient Steel Crossbow standard shots deal 10.5 (from 16), combo shots 14 (from 42) and its Signature Attack 82 (from 123).
• Antidotes remove poison from the Imbue Poison rune and give brief immunity to it.

Tool and Weapon Durability

Every weapon's new durability and damage is in the Weapons List, and the Armor List has every armor set. Use the Repair Calculator to see how many repair kits a tool needs with the new numbers.

Memories, Portals and the World

• Memories: for some creatures, seeing them is no longer enough: you have to win a fight against them to get their Memory. See the Memory Tracker.
• Portals: two new portal worlds, and a portal can limit how many times each player enters it. /portal now works in place of /fragment, and /portal leave replaces /leave. See the Fragment Planner.
• Foliage: swinging a weapon no longer clears bushes, vines and leaves. Foliage you placed yourself now drops sticks or berries instead of the plant, so use Shears (made at the Farmer's Workbench) to keep the plant. Shears also gather fallen leaf piles.
• Language: French and Spanish are now available.
• World events: custom world settings or the /worldevent command can turn them on or off, and are off by default in Creative worlds.
