Heyho Minecraft friends,

Today we are pleased to present the 1.21 update for our game mode Bingo! As the name of today's update suggests, all the features of the latest Minecraft version are now also available in Bingo.

We would like to briefly explain all the new features and changes below 😊

New items on the bingo map

Thanks to the update to Minecraft version 1.21, we were able to bring many new items into the game, which you will find on the bingo map in the future.

Trial chambers, which can now also be found underground on the bingo maps, will give you access to items such as the wind sphere, the gust rod, the trial key and the new vinyl records. A new forging template and three new pottery shards can also be found here. But that's not all. The new structure also provides a variety of already known potions, which can now also be found on the bingo map. Of course, we have also expanded the scope of copper-related blocks with the implementation of the test chambers.

You can also look forward to various other new items that have been implemented thanks to the many small adjustments made by Mojang. For example, the Wolf Armor, which can be crafted from Armadillo Horn Shield; the Poison Arrow, which is dropped by the new Swamp Skeletons; or the Worker, which has expanded the range of Redstone mechanics. Changes have also been made to the way raids work, with a new item - an ominous bottle - now available when you eliminate a raider captain.

In addition to the items from 1.21, we have of course also kept an eye on the items from previous Minecraft versions with this update. In future, you will therefore also be able to find various explorer cards on the bingo map, which you can obtain by trading with villagers.

Apart from the added items, there have also been some adjustments to the item pool so that the new items are integrated more optimally on the bingo map. We have also decided to remove the items torch lily seed, torch lily, pitcher plant capsule and pitcher plant, as they were simply too difficult to collect.

Collection book

The origin of this feature can be traced back to a community idea that reached us on the GommeHD.net Discord server. The suggestion was for a new achievement that you should receive when you have collected all bingo items at least once. 

We thought about this idea and took the basic idea behind this suggestion to the next level, so that with the release of today's update we can introduce you to the brand new item collection book, which is now another major game goal in our Bingo game mode.

As you can probably already imagine, the collection book contains all the items you can find on the bingo map. Once you have collected an item, it will be marked as found in your scrapbook and marked with the date of the first find. 

From now on, the scrapbook will be your new constant companion between your bingo rounds.
You can access the scrapbook via the new bingo profile in the waiting lobby.

Finishing rounds alone

Who hasn't experienced this? You see the perfect row on the bingo map, all the items can be collected in no time at all, but before the last item has been redeemed, all the other teams have already left the round and the best time, which was already within reach and would have secured you a place in the top ranking, is simply gone.

In future, you can easily avoid such situations by deciding to continue the round alone. This feature is also based on an idea directly from the community, which was suggested both in the Discord and here in the forum.

To be able to continue rounds alone, you simply have to activate this in the settings (to be found in the new bingo profile in the waiting lobby). Once activated, you will always be asked in the cases described above whether you want to continue the round or end it directly.

Activating this function has no disadvantages whatsoever. If you choose to end the round immediately, you will automatically receive a victory as before, but the aborted round will not count as the best time in the weekly ranking or in your own statistics.

However, if you decide to continue the round, the round continues as normal. In this case, the time taken to reach a bingo can be taken into account as the best time and therefore also included in the weekly ranking. The best time can then also be taken into account in your own statistics.

However, in order to receive a win in continued rounds, the round must end with a bingo or by time expiry. Successes can no longer be achieved in continued rounds, as there are a large number of successes that would be far too easy to achieve.

It is also important to know that in team rounds, all players in the team must have activated the setting before the round in order to be able to make a selection regarding the progress of the round. If only one player on the team has deactivated this function, the round will still end immediately, as we do not want to force anyone to complete the round. If all players of a team have activated the setting, a decision on the continuation of the round only has to be made by one player of their own team. 


In addition to this new function, you will also find the familiar setting for activating/deactivating the key combination for opening the bingo card in the bingo profile under “Settings”. Due to the new bingo profile, this item had to be removed or moved from the Wartelobby hotbar.


In the settings, the option has also been added to play a sound when an opposing team has collected an item on the bingo card. Some of you may already be familiar with this notification sound from our “Bingo (Deathmatch)” event mode.If you would like to be alerted acoustically to the changed situation on the bingo map in future, you can activate the sound here. It is deactivated by default.

New achievements 

For our players hungry for success, there are of course a total of 10 new achievements in this update. You can expect 4 new standard achievements, 3 new puzzle achievements and 3 new long-term achievements.

Other adjustments

With increasing activity in Bingo, the flow of the game can feel increasingly sluggish from round to round. Especially when the “Efficiency & Haste” perk is not activated, the flow of the game often feels very sluggish. This is probably also the main reason why the aforementioned perk is by far the most frequently used by you. In order to make the general gameplay a little smoother in future and at the same time balance out the usage rates of the perks, we have made some changes to the starting equipment and the aforementioned perk.

In future, the default starting equipment will be an indestructible Netherite pickaxe with the “Efficiency V” enchantment. Every tool you craft in the round will also be automatically enchanted with the “Efficiency V” enchantment. This applies to shovels, axes, pickaxes, hoes and shears.

The “Efficiency & Haste” perk, whose features have been transferred to the starting equipment and normal gameplay, will be called “Rapid Mining” in future, but will continue to give each player the “Haste II” status effect. In addition, this perk will allow you to cut down trees completely and mine veins of ore in their entirety.To do this, you only have to cut down one block of the respective tree or vein of ore to automatically receive all blocks in your inventory.Once this is full, the items are placed on the ground beneath the player.


Another small change concerns perks in general. Previously, each player could have a maximum of 10 perks of a certain perk type. At the request of the community, this number has been increased to 15 perk type for Premiums and Supremiums.

As usual, you can take another look at all the changes in the update in our detailed changelog.

We hope you like the update and hope you enjoy playing it! As always, we welcome feedback on the update and suggestions for new features in the forum or in the suggestions channel on our Discord.


With kind regards

Your GommeHD.net Team
