Written by the OtterSMP Management

Hey everyone, happy Friday! Today's post will mostly be covering the big day tomorrow. Let's talk about Mid Season, and more, in this week's rendition of Otter Weekly!

This week's topics:


🎂 Otter Birthday's Mid Season Update!

This mid season, we're breaking a record for the most amount of content we've ever tried to release on one day! Tomorrow is going to be one for the history books, make sure you show up! We're going to attempt to release the following:

Make sure to log on for a bunch of keyalls, and to experience our brand new Boss Rush gamemode. :)


⚔️ Boss Rush Beta!

Speaking of Boss Rush, if you just can't wait to play Boss Rush, you can experience the slightly-unpolished Beta test right now! Don't expect perfection or rewards, but it'll give you a good grasp of what to expect come tomorrow! It's LIVE right now - do /bossrush to enter the queue!


⚙️ Settings 2.0!

While we're at it, we're investing heavily into doing a feature you guys have been asking forever for! Take a look at this - Settings 2.0! Tons of more customization for what you see in chat, available NOW! Check out /settings in game!


👀 Future things coming soon!

This isn't all we have planned for August. As promised, this month still has tons in store! For now, let's talk about Skin & Build Battle! Our party-clown-themed skin competition starts on August 16, 2026, while Build Battle's deadline is August 23, 2026! Best of luck to all that enter!


🏰 SMP Showcase of the Week!

For this week, we're taking a look at an amazing build created by BlueMatsuoka. This castle looks sick man, thanks for sharing it and building on Otter! You've been given 5 keys and the Builders Badge - GG! You can find it in-game at /warp botw.


💬 Discord Showcase of the Week!

And finally, this week's Discord Showcase shows off a beautiful render made by Osaaki for another community member, Yumarice's, birthday.
