🏗️ Upcoming Event: Birthday Build Battle!

The next Build Battle, themed around who can cook bake up the best cake ends in under two days, at August 22, 2026! Make sure to submit your builds in a ticket by then!

🦕 Dino Disaster - a first look!

September's theme, if you hadn't already checked the roadmap, is Dinosaur! For September, we're planning to add a ton of Dino-themed cosmetics, items, and more! Here's a few things we can show off now.

A few limited-time items are hitting the Moonlight Mart. One, added yesterday, is an adorable Starfox-themed plushy token. The other, an Elytra, releases tomorrow, August 22, 2026! Grab em while you can, because when they're gone, they won't be coming back!
