A Volcanic Eruption has occurred on the Disorder World. The skies have been blanketed by Volcanic ash, causing complete darkness. Rarer ores can be found when mining around the Volcanic region, as well as rare nether mobs such as Ghasts and Magma cubes have been spawning close by.
Additional deposits can also be found in the surrounding area such as gravel and coal.
What’s Disorder? Learn more about it on the Codex Page.
There’s been a few changes as well as new additions based on your feedback at our last Server Meeting. Meetings are held in-world every second Sunday.

Without further ado, here are some of the new changes and additions this week!

Emeralds
Diamonds
Iron Ingots
Gold Ingots
Coal
Pets It was brought to our attention that Pets have a level cap of 100, yet they only receive new abilities up until level 10. Beyond that, they don’t gain any new benefits except their respawn timer which continues to raise per level.
Reduced Pet level cap to 10
Pet Foods It’s been difficult to find the proper information on what Pets eat what. To solve this all of the Pets and their diets have been posted on our forum. A link to this forum post is also included in the Pets codex page. View the page on our Forum.
We have some more things coming in the next few weeks.

Can you believe our current Portal Chamber hasn’t seen an upgrade for 8 years? It was first built in The Shire during the Age of Gods, one of the earliest Ages on TAW. It was located under the Shire, and remains there to this day – even after The Shire was destroyed all those years ago!
So that brings us to our new Build Competition. We want YOU to build our new Portal Chamber for the Ages! When the competition concludes we will be choosing 1 build to replace our old portal chamber. The Portal Chamber Building Competition begins this Saturday, September 28th at 12pm EST.
