Survival update incoming ️ 
Come wonder the eerie halls of Castle Weinrot, home to a dying group of royals, their dwindling number of servants, and the merchants who wander the cellars and crypts beneath the castle. 

What's New
In addition to the beautiful spawn constructed by our talented in-house build team below are the gameplay changes coming to survival in this update:

• New tags plugin; you will all be able to unlock a plethora of tags via purchasing them on our store (coming soon ), through special events, and through quests that will be scattered around the server.
• The Weinrot quest; search the halls, gardens, and cellars of Castle Weinrot to discover the lost ruby skulls of the Weinrot dynasty!
• An advanced container and access protection system that allows you to protect your goodies from any random thieves and your average pesky team member.
• New custom terrain generation! Come explore our new world, from the breezy seas to the mountains that pierce the  sky. This terrain features tons of new biomes and structures for you to raid and explore! Due to new terrain generation a full reset has taken place.
• You'll find some NPCs scattered around Castle Weinrot gearing up to sell you that random block you need to finish your build or give you information on Survival's various features. All coming soon!
• Various warps have been introduced via the /warp command so you can find your away around Castle Weinrot faster and easier!
• Mob stacking to keep those frames a frame-ing... well... that doesn't sound right- Anywho, mob stacking is being put in place in order to reduce a large amount of lag caused by excess mob entities.

Why is this post in Dutch ;_;

Welcome!

I can hardly believe it myself, but we've finally replaced our simple landing page with a full-fledged forum website. How awesome is that?

After a long period of uncertainty among the staff team and players, this is yet another way to show to you that Void Realms is here to stay.

Are you ready to continue this nearly decade-old story with us? I know I am!

See you around
