THE LONG AWAITED END UPDATE IN KILLMINE IS FINALLY HERE!!! This dev blog is gonna be a long one, so grab some popcorn and get reading!!
Welcome back to another dev blog! It's been awhile since i've been able to write one of these but i am so happy i can do so again as i am so sick of working on this update LMAO. I've had to balance my school life with killmine and it's been very tough because of my tight schedule, but I got it to work out!
DISCLAIMER:
I put my heart and soul into this update. If you don't like something, you CAN vocalize it, but do so respectfully. Release day is gonna be a very stressful day for me and things are likely unbalanced or too difficult. Just let me know and i will help you, don't shout at me.
The End
Welcome to The End dimension! Built by me and our amazing builders hnryi and AxyJaxy! I can't put the entire dimension in a screenshot as it is so insanely huge compared to the other worlds! So i'll just put a couple highlights instead :)
New Mines
This update contains a whopping 18 new mines! All count up containing 55 new types of blocks to mine! And if we add up all the pickaxes, there are 270 new pickaxes in these mines! So you're gonna be grinding here for a while, good luck!
New armor / swords
New mines, means new gear! Every mine contains 4 swords and 4 armor sets! Work your way up all the way to Bedrock Armor! The new best armor in the game!
New items!
This update also contains a ton of new items to discover and use! These include 2 new potion types, ender pearls, 3 new types of meteors, a coin voucher, and a new boost type!
Tier 4 potions!
There are now tier 4s of all potion types! Craft them in the combine machine! Potions are now also stackable! So no more inventory being flooded!
New crates!
This update contains 2 new crates both located inside of The End dimension! The end crate and the amethyst crate! The amethyst crate key is very rare and contains insane loot, take a look!
New fishing ponds!
This update adds 3 new fishing ponds that in total adds 31 new fish to the game! On top of that, fish can now get multiple mutations on them and the fishing rods include a new enchant, Clone! It will give you a chance for your fish to clone. There is also a new fish rarity above huge fish, but i will not expose it yet... let's see if someone can catch it!
Daily Quests
This update has also added daily quests! Every day you get 3 quests which you can complete. Completing a quest gives you a quest token. This can then be spent in the quest shop for goodies and crate keys!
Races
You can now race against other players to get to 3 randomized mines as quick as possible. You can bet coins to add tension to the match and make the stakes higher! Will you win the race?
Gemstones
Everywhere around The End you will find gemstones! These are only mineable with a gemstone pickaxe obtained at the end of the dimension. You also need these gemstones to unlock the special mines, and also other things.
Magic Wand
The magic wand is a new tool coming this update buyable at The Wizard for 1 million coins! You start out with a level 1 wand, which only has 1 ability. But by gathering certain resources, you can upgrade your magic wand all the way up to level 7 to unlock cool and useful abilities! But watch out, this item is not cheap to level!
PvE
PvE has been expanded upon with 3 new PvE mobs being introduced! The endermite, shulker and enderman! All these drop essence again and give pve xp! We changed the PvE leveling system to slowly scale as some people had super ridiculous levels before.
Pets
We are now introducing pets to killmine! A new major feature! You can buy pet eggs at the pet merchant at the castle at spawn! These eggs will then hatch out of either a normal pet, or a variant of it. There are some super rare variants so try to hunt for those! A pet luck potion will greatly help you in achieving that goal. You level your pets by mining. 1 block = 1 XP but this can be buffed by using a Pet XP potion! If you get 3 pets of the same type to level 100, you can go to the end ship and turn it into a HUGE pet. Which is a version of the pet which gives DOUBLE the buffs! Leveling still going too slow? Use pet candy obtained from the Amethyst Crate to instantly give your pet XP.
End Bows
There are now new bows for every mine in The End, and they also include new enchants. These are Levitation and Strike. The bows also all have custom textures again, they look great!
New talismans
This update introduces 3 new talismans! The ghoul talisman, the karmic talisman and the fragmented talisman! How to get them or what they do exactly, i will not reveal yet! So go discover how to get them yourself!
Stay or Leave
There is now a new minigame which you can do hourly in Killmine called stay or leave. It is on the sea lantern island in the end and it works like this:
You get teleported into a room where u can choose to leave for an item, or stay for a better item. But if you choose to stay, there is a chance you lose it all and don't get anything. The further you get, the better the items get, but the higher the chance you lose also gets!
Time Trials
Another new minigame being added is The Time Trials! You will get a time trials pickaxe and need to complete the 3 mines as quick as possible! Boosts are not allowed but you can use potions or other buffs like perm boosts or christmas event items! The faster you are, the more time trial tokens you get. And if you beat your record, you get even more! Combine all the buffs you can to get the fastest time and come on top!
Mayors
In the library, you can vote daily for a mayor! These mayors all have their own part of Killmine that they give buffs for! One is focused on the infinite mine, the other on the RNG world, and another on plain mining! Some mayors have better buffs but are also rarer to appear! So look out for those rare mayors so you don't miss their buffs!
Server Boosts
You can now buy server-wide boosts that buff EVERYONES buffs for 30 minutes. These cost gems and there are currently 3 boosts in the game. Fortune, Haste and Rainbow.
Multi-use fireworks!
At the firework NPC, you can now buy fireworks with multiple uses on them! The amount of uses you get is RNG just like the blast pickaxe, it ranges from 10 all the way to 500! In the gem shop you can also buy a firework that has infinite uses, so you never have to worry about rockets again!
Logs
Yes! We have added lore to the game! Find logs randomly by mining. And be alert! These logs are all world-specific and thus you must mine in every world to discover them all! There are also some special logs only obtainable by special means and there are also logs in RNG world randomly obtained from rolling. There's also a log index which you can insert your logs in to keep track how far you are!
Game Settings
There are now settings you change by doing /gamesettings! These settings are all to remove annoying things in chat like tips, or block broadcasts which you really do not care about.
EXOTIC Blocks
A new rarity has been added above legendary blocks and these are exotic blocks. These blocks are so incredibly rare that i only see them appear a couple times per day. The 2 exotic blocks in this update give you mining charms, which are needed to progress in the leveling of the magic wand. So stay alert for them and try to find them before the mine resets!
New pickaxe enchants
The pickaxes in The End contain new enchants that will help you in certain ways! Here is how they work:
Blast - Chance to blow up blocks in a small radius of where you mined
Charm - Chance to turn blocks around the block you mined into item stones
Crystallize - Chance to turn blocks around the block you mined into rarer blocks
Frenzy - Chance to give you 4 times the drops you were originally gonna get
Ender Dragon Boss Fight!
Just like the piglin boss, by collecting essence from all the previous end mobs, you can fight the ender dragon! This is a fairly difficult boss fight and your friends are recommended to help you out. Small tip: ender pearls are very useful here as you have to climb a tall tower which is only possible with pearls or elytra, but elytra is disabled! The boss also contains a lot of useful rewards if you manage to beat it, so good luck!
Boss Fight #2???
I'm not gonna spoil too much about this one, all i'm gonna say is make sure you got the music pack on :) it makes it 100 times better!
Mystery Ticket
You can finally use your mystery ticket in the library! Can you beat the challenges and show that you're worthy?
New achievements!
Music Pack Update
The music pack has once again been updated now to version 1.2! Download it here

EVERY SHADOW IS A HIDING SPOT
Now what?
Poof... we made it through that insane dev blog... this update is... massive. And that's an understatement. The End update was stereotypically going to be THE update of Killmine, so i really didn't want to dissapoint with it. However, now that this update is out. I realised we might've gone a bit too big. So expect the next dimension to still have a lot of content, but not THIS much. As it also took a while to produce this update. We were combining the end update while also working on RNG world and even after that update, we still had lots to do. However, before we start working on update 5, we wanna make an update 4.5. Being a major refresh to previous dimensions. We're adding new content to The Overworld and The Nether to make those feel more like modern killmine. RNG World will also be receiving some new auras, and we might do something with the infinite mine as well, yet i'm not sure yet.
And finally...
Thank you. Thank you all so much for being patient with this update (most of you) and letting me and bedless make this piece of art for you. We really hope you all enjoy this update as we have put the last 4 months of our life into it, combining it with personal struggles AND school. And i ask you guys once again, just be ready for nerfs and buffs everywhere. It is bound to happen. Same with bugs. We will try to be as transparent and respectful as possible, and we expect the same from you. If you do end up breaking these rules, you will be punished.
And like i've always said, this is only the beginning...
