Community Wrap-Up - October 2026

Oops, did we accidentally go a little late with this one, Explorers? Have a community update for October... in November! We hope you've been enjoying our creepy Samhain-themed content. Here's what we've been up to in October.

Nintendo AMA

We were lucky enough to be invited into the Nintendo subreddit for an AMA where Fredrik, Sven, Herman, and Alex answered your community questions about things like a possible hard-mode for the game, potential crossovers, and our plans for the future of Core Keeper. Check it out here!

Free Weekend

We had the delight of offering our first Free Weekend event since we left Early Access this month, and saw hundreds of new players start their adventures in the underground. Some of you may have spotted a teeny-weeny bug when we launched the Free Weekend build that stopped players from re-entering their Free Weekend worlds, and we're very grateful for all your reports so that we could get that patched as quickly as possible. As always, we have the best and most responsive community and we're very excited to welcome a whole new roster of Explorers to the wonderful world of Core Keeper!

Halloween Speed Build

We've been getting into the spirit of Halloween and building creepy bases in Creative Mode! Check out our speedbuild here!

Mod Spotlight: Smash Ore Boulders

Ore boulder blocking your path? Looking for a way to move an ore boulder without breaking it down? Parcew has got your back! This mod makes it so that sledge hammers instantly destroy ore boulders, turning them into an item that can be added to your inventory. This mod is compatible with all sledge hammers and does not mine boulders for resources, so you can place them anywhere in the world as a decorative item. Get the mod here!

Apostles of Ambition Armor Design Contest

We shared the Apostles of Ambition mod in one of our previous community updates, and we're now excited to reveal that the creators of this mod are hosting an armor-design contest! The winner/s will see their designs brought to life in the mod and receive full credit. You don't have to be a pixel artist to do this, they're accepting both concept art and/or finished sprite sheets. There's no strict deadline, so you're welcome to take your time. Visit the post in official Core Keeper community Discord for more information. Good luck and happy designing :Caveling:

Church of S.A.H.A.B.A.R

One of our Discord community members created this incredible scene in the Desert of Beginnings. We can only imagine what kind of scary worship practices happen in the Church of S.A.H.A.B.A.R Thank you to Discord User, Another, for sharing such an amazing build!
