A new update (0.9.2) is available now!
Latest Hotfix: 0.9.2.1 (2026-05-13)

  • Changelog 2015-01-01: No more Java issues, new LUA events, bugfixes

    First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL USERS!


    A new update is available, which does not bring very much content, but a lot of important changes!


    First of all, an important change concerning Steam is done: The game is delivered with an own JVM now. This means that it does not matter anymore which Java version is installed on your computer. Even if no Java is installed at all, that should be no problem.
    Please not that this change only affects Windows, on MacOS, you simply need to install the JDK.
    We will add this for the standalone at a later time.


    Apart from that, we added new LUA objects and events, for example events when players interact with chests. Effectively you can now restrict players to steal items from other players chests now via LUA scripts.


    We are also updating our basic area protection script right now (so that objects, constructions and chests are now also protected), it will be available within the next hours (unfortunately, the release of the area protection script is delayed. It can't take very long until it is ready, please be patient).
    This is another important step forward to prevent griefing.


    Last but not least this update contains several smaller changes and some important bugfixes. See the full changelog below.


    Changelog:

    • [New] Standalone now also supports german language (based on your system language) (Standalone only)
    • [New] Game uses own JVM now, so it does not matter anymore what Java version is installed on your system or if Java is installed at all (in other words: No more Java problems!) (Steam only)
    • [New] New LUA objects: Vector2f, Vector2i, Vector3f, Vector3i
    • [New] New LUA events: ChestItemDrop, ChestToInventory, InventoryToChest, PlayerChestPlace, PlayerChestDestroy, PlayerChestRemove, PlayerGrassRemove, PlayerObjectPickup, PlayerVegetationDestroy, PlayerVegetationPickup
    • [Change] Console no longer opens when chat is active
    • [Change] Added new server information to the http server
    • [Change] Blockfavorites and serverfavorites are now synced with Steam Cloud (Steam only)

    Erstmal vielen Dank für dein Lob! :)


    Bitte probiere mal das neueste Update aus, das hat dahingehend etwas geändert, vielleicht ist das Problem dadurch behoben.

  • Bug

    Konnte den Fehler leider nicht reproduzieren :huh: Arbeitest du (oder der Server, auf welchem du spielst) möglicherweise mit LUA Skripten?

  • Can't get past the JIW sceen

    There are two problems according to the errorlog:


    Quote from RainingFlight

    Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family Vendor: Intel OpenGL version: 3.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2462


    This indicates that this is most likely an Intel HD 3000. The version 8.xx does not work with the game, since this driver has some bugs related to OpenGL. Intel already fixed the bugs for later driver versions, so you should update your Intel driver.
    If you have a secondary graphics card alternatively, you need to assign it manually to the game :)


    Quote from RainingFlight

    com.jme3.asset.AssetNotFoundException: MatDefs/General/StaticLightingMaterial.j3md


    This indicates that some gamefiles are missing (maybe something went wrong when downloading). Just download the game again. But if you have reinstalled the game anyways, this problem might be solved already (only the problem with the graphics card remaining^^)

  • Question for dev

    Unfortunately we can't give an ETA yet. Currently we are doing some changes to the game and bugfixes, after that, we start working on more animals and monsters. It won't take too long until ores are in the game, but don't expect them in the next few weeks ;)

  • Game frozen at 10 percent log in, but my friend see's me in the world.

    When getting stuck at world loading, it's most likely something related to your graphics card. Have a look if there is an errorlog in your game directory, please post it here, it contains useful information.
    In most cases it's related to an Intel HD graphics card, in combination with an outdated driver. Please note that even if you have a secondary graphics card, the game often only uses the weak integrated Intel HD, so you have to manually assign the more powerful adapter to the game.
    Btw., you find out which graphics card is used by typing "graphics" into console (works in main menu, press key ^ or ` or ~).

  • I have lower fps since last update

    The best way to show the FPS is to press F9 (or alternatively, type fps into console), since F3 also lowers your framerate a little bit (to gather all debug information^^).
    But there was no change that should have a noticeable impact on framerate ?( Does it happen in singleplayer only, or also in multiplayer?

  • question for the devs

    Partly it's random ;) Always difficult to say, and we don't want to make promises: We don't like it to announce a feature, then we find out that the implementation causes more problem than thought, so it takes longer until the feature is ready, and we have to delay the update ^^
    But the next "bigger" topics we are working on is more animals, monsters, ores and dungeons

  • Unable to Conect to Server

    D.h. der Server bekommt bereits einen Fehler wenn du ihn startest? Dann wäre der Serverlog vielleicht ganz hilfreich.
    Wenn du über Netzwerk connecten kannst, aber nicht über Internet, dann scheint die Verbindung noch irgendwo blockiert zu werden. Hast du alle Ports (4254-4259 TCP und UDP) freigegeben?

  • Serverupdate wie??

    Quote from Monsen

    Also der Patch , der bei euch als Download angeboten wird , ist ja nur für die NON-Steam version!! Was soll ich da jetzt machen? Bezahlter Server den man nicht Nutzen kann....ist ein wenig blöd und die Mitspieler Fragen schon was nun ist! Lieght nich an euch....aber macht bei ZAP mal Druck!!


    Also falls du den dedicated server meinst: Der gilt gleichermaßen für Steam und für Non-Steam :)
    Falls du manuell über FTP updatest, musst du den Server vorher beenden, dann die server.jar und den lib Ordner austauschen.

  • Rising world will not start from steam

    Quote from Anonoguest

    I'm seeing someone getting this issue with the latest version 8 of java but I'm not with version 7.


    Can someone here w/ 8 confirm that it works and this isn't a "JavaUpToDate() {return versionNumber.first = '7'}" issue?


    If you're using the Steam version and Java is causing trouble, try to enable the latest nightly (rightclick on rising world -> properties -> betas -> nightly 29.12 win 8 fix + own JVM). It uses an own JVM, so it should not matter what version is installed on your computer.

    Hallo, die Zeile "Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use" gibt an, dass scheinbar noch eine Serverinstanz läuft. Hast du den Server beendet, als du ihn geupdated hast?
