Heyho Minecraft friends,

it is with pleasure that we present to you today another update for our universally beloved game mode Bingo! Since the release of Bingo in December 2022, the calls for a ranking have not died down. And what can we say? Today you can rejoice, as with this update we want to create a first incentive to make the rounds a bit more competitive as well. 

How the ranking works and what else we have come up with, we would like to bring you "briefly" closer in the following 😉

Ranking, statistics and Top10

Following a suggestion directly from the community, we have decided to align the ranking in Bingo according to so-called lap best times. Analogous to the current statistics, a lap best time can still only be set up if a lap has ended with a 'bingo'. This means that a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row of 5 items must be completed on the bingo card.

Unlike other statistics-based modes, we still deliberately do not want to focus on comparing long-term statistics (especially in the form of ranking by points/wins) in the Bingo game mode. For this reason, the round-best times for the Top10 wall will also not be determined dynamically (i.e. not with the help of the system for determining the 30-day statistics), but with a static system (comparable to the Seasons in Kit-1vs1). "Season period" will always be the current calendar week. 

As a result, the Top10 wall will be completely reset after the end of a week (start: Mon. 00:00:00 | end: Sun. 23:59:59) and then filled again with the top times of the new week. This way we want to give you (and especially new players) the opportunity to compete with other players again every week. The ten best lap times can be tracked as usual in the waiting lobby on a Top10 wall or via the new command "/top".

As a result of this change, the command "/stats" will only display the current week's statistics in the future. The past 30 days statistics will of course still be viewable, but only with the command "/statsd 30 <name>".

Since we currently offer three different team sizes in Bingo, there are consequently also three independent rankings. If a best time was set by more than one player, their names and heads are displayed on the Top10 wall in alternation. It is also possible for players to appear on the Top10 wall more than once if they have set a new best time in a different team constellation. If a team is already on the Top10-Wall and achieves a new best time with the same team constellation, the previous best time of the respective team will be overwritten.

The best lap times will also be saved from now on and displayed separately for each team size (x1, x2 and x3) in their own statistics. In this context, we regret that the best times previously achieved had to be removed, as it was unfortunately no longer possible to assign the best time to the team size in retrospect. 

Extension of the Perks

We have received numerous ideas on how to expand the range of perks in Bingo. In the end, we decided to introduce the following perks to make collecting some items much easier and allow you to 'bingo' even faster in one or two rounds.

Hero of the Village
When using this perk, all players will permanently receive the Hero of the Village V effect. This has the effect of giving a total discount of 55% on trade offers from villagers. This makes trading with villagers much more attractive when it comes to rare items such as rabbit stew, experience vials, cakes or chain armor, which previously could only be found or produced with a lot of effort.

Extended world barrier
Who does not know it? After searching for far too long, you finally find the biome you need or a rare structure that could drastically increase your probability of victory. But where is it located? Outside the world barrier, of course. But that's over now! When using this new perk, the world barrier is automatically extended by 250 blocks in any direction, so you can now enter territory you could never reach before.

Concentrate and Fertilizer
When this perk is activated, the time it takes for a hatchling to grow up is reduced by 50% per feeding. This means that young animals can now be raised in no time at all, and their resources can be used for their own interests. In addition, when reproducing animals, there is now the chance to get up to three young animals at the same time. And because all this is not enough, plants can be grown out instantly with the help of bone meal to build up a seemingly endless supply of food. 


Another adjustment has also been made to the Night Vision perk, which is now called Night Vision and Glow.

When activating the perk, you still get the "Night Vision" effect permanently, which gives you better orientation at night and in dark caves. However, in addition to this, all creatures within 15 blocks (sphere) of each player are now marked with the Glow effect, so you can now locate nearby caves faster when digging through the ground. These are often useful for finding needed items on the bingo map faster.

New achievements and spawn platform skins (Cosmetics)

For our success-hungry players, there are of course new achievements with this update. Once again, we took the opportunity to be inspired by the suggested achievements in the collection thread and to implement them in a similar form. You can expect 6 new normal achievements, 2 new puzzle achievements and 2 new long-term achievements.

Along with the new achievements, game mode related cosmetics will also make their way into Bingo for the first time - so-called spawn platform skins.

To use a spawn platform skin, you must first unlock it. The skin is unlocked by completing certain achievements. For completing the achievements "Retailer", "Already over?", "DJ", "Unexpected visit", "Animal lover", "Flower girl", "Hunter", "Thrifty", "Magic!", "Deep depths", "OP", "Pack mule", "Angler", "Marble, stone and iron breaks" and "Adventurer" you get one spawn platform skin each. So for each biome you can unlock a total of 15 spawn platform skins.

When you unlock a spawn platform skin, it is automatically selected. You can choose between the available spawn platform skins in the cosmetic menu (accessible via the diamond in the waiting lobby or the command "/cosmetics") via the sub-item "Spawn platform skins". Depending on the biome, you can individually select and deselect a particular spawn platform there.

As usual, you can take a look at the full changes of the update in our detailed changelog.


As usual, we would like to pay tribute to the great and deeply admirable work of our irreplaceable game design content Laubfrosch7. It was solely through his excellent intuition and ardent desire for impressive new features that this noble expansion of Bingo could be unleashed today. We remain excited to see what exquisite new features this inexhaustible euphoria will bring forth in the next updates, and finally, we would like to thank him for his continued passionate and complication-free project management.

Of course, we would also like to thank our enchanting developer Summerfeeling for his extraordinarily zealous efforts in the implementation of this update. With his tireless drive and brilliant finesse, he was able to realize this well-designed expansion of Bingo - in his usual first-class manner - brilliantly. 

Furthermore we would like to thank our indispensable QA-content UselessGeld, who in his function as mentor together with his protégé BeatZap took care of the quality inspection of the newly developed components in an exemplary manner. We would also like to thank our dearest Zunano, who was responsible for the creation of this delightful design. Of course we would also like to thank for the atmospheric trailer, which was produced by our already beloved newcomer in the PR area maisuee. 

We hope you like the update! Let us know what you think about the new features. Of course we are always open for improvements!
We look forward to feedback and your creative suggestions 😊


With kind regards
