After two months of summer projects following the release of Coastal Village, IrisRobin8 and DroidRGH have greatly expanded the reach of the Dertch people! Find three NEW locations on the nether rail line to visit and explore: Jungle Village, Badlands Base, and Underwaterville… don’t miss the submarine near that location!Back home, the statue is at full patina, and vine-draped trees have grown all over the village interior. The equipment we’ve left behind back at base is more powerful and durable, and there is a netherite ingot somewhere so you can decide what gets the next upgrade. Welcome back to New Dertch!

Spooky Mansion

Spooky Mansion

Released October 2021

You’re in legit survival hard mode, and night has just fallen. Get yourself to the secure base by taking the mostly-safe high road, avoiding the phantoms immediately swooping in from all sides!

Long ago, a one-time common villager known as The Elder built a giant mansion here, and it became the default Spooky Mansion seed in Minecraft 1.16. The Elder and his crew became entangled with a local witch coven, who eventually killed them all and cursed the property, dooming it to chaos. These days, the area is a vacation attraction for Halloween thrill-seekers!Follow the road to the skeleton spawner and load up on XP in grinder mode, or set to Crypt Eject and fight them head-to-head in the cemetery. Finally, head to the Spooky Mansion. The second floor is dark and scary and probably full of dangerous mobs, but the first floor has been converted into an amusement space, with Mansion secrets revealed and a minecart track to enjoy.
