Hello, our dear magisteris!

We’d like to thank every one of you who plays—and replays—our game, reports bugs, and helps us improve! Your support means the world to us. It keeps us going and inspires us to do better!
In this update, we’ve fixed several issues you reported:
• Removed the Tannery blueprint from the Blueprints section (oops, spoiler!).
• Added a barrier to the druid circle in the Magic Forest to prevent access to restricted areas.
• Adjusted Portalsteins’ respawn time.
• Fixed the portable lamp.
• Resolved the issue preventing the use of rare and epic tools/knives.
• Patched the infinite XP exploit with feathers—they no longer respawn unless the game is restarted.
• Fixed the bug causing workbenches to change types (e.g., Constructor’s → Coal Miner, Clay Miner → Copper Miner) when picked up.
• Fixed crouching mechanics and added a crouch toggle in Settings (default: Left Ctrl).
• Added a Gamma slider in Settings.

For those of you who play in multiplayer and encounters the problem with the lights not turning on at night, please go to settings uncheck the Day/Night cycle, apply, then check Day/Night cycle and apply again. It’s a temporary solution, we’ll implement a permanent fix soon.
Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm!

We've fixed the bug causing infinite feather spawns in certain locations. We've also repaired the terrain in the cave within the Big Forest. Thanks to everyone who reports bugs! We're addressing them promptly.

We have noticed that after the release of Update 0.2.0.1 (31.03.2025), some players have reported issues such as duplicated items, cloned NPCs, duplicated terrain chunks, etc. This indicates that you have loaded an old save file. As previously mentioned, starting a new game is required after installing this update.

While you may attempt to continue using old saves, you will inevitably encounter problems that prevent further progression. For the best experience, we strongly recommend that all players begin a fresh game.

This requirement is necessary due to fundamental changes in the game's architecture that could not be implemented while maintaining backward compatibility.

Fixed Issues:

Torches were being crafted with 50% durability – fixed

Russian localization was not loading – fixed

New Major Update is out now

Greetings, dear FantasyCrafters!

We’re thrilled to finally roll out a major new update—packed with exciting features and fresh adventures! A huge thank you to each of you for your patience and unwavering support. You’re the best!

Before diving in, a quick heads-up:
• If you’re planning to play with friends, we highly recommend exploring the storyline together and unlocking locations as a team—it’s way more fun that way!
• Our game has a brand-new name: Magisterium: Fantasy Craft! Why? Well, "Fantasy Craft" kept getting mixed up with Minecraft mods (sigh), and we wanted something truly unique that fits the game’s lore. Plus, as the story unfolds, you’ll see even more magical elements woven into the world!
• Pro tip for farmers: Before buying eggs or cattle, make sure you’ve got enough wheat and corn to whip up some chickenfeed and cattlefeed. Hungry animals = unhappy farm!

New content galore:
1. A grand new quest kicks off the game’s storyline—starting with Governor Estiel. Adventure awaits!
2. Fresh locations with new blueprints to discover. Time to explore!
3. Travel portals now link all key spots: New location, Mekhrahn’s Palace (mine), Wolfish Hollow, Big Forest, Magic Forest, Damned Place, Elefin’s Ruined Palace.
How to use them?
Repair with a technological repair kit, craft your own portal at the engineering table, and fuel it with processed portalsteins. Just put a processed portalstein into Required items slot, after the portal is activated, chose a place you want to travel to, press craft, step inside the portal and get ready to be teleported.
Pro tip: Always carry extra fuel!
Warning: Teleporting with friends? Everyone hops along—this helps reduce server load. Teamwork makes the dream work!
4. Portalstein – a shiny new mineral powering portals (and future tech—stay tuned!).
5. Technological repair kit – your go-to for fixing fancy gadgets. Grab the blueprint in a new location.
6. Engineering table – will help you to craft a technological repair kit, a travel portal and to process portalsteins. Study the blueprint in a new location.
7. Rock-salt miner – digs up rock salt, alumstones, and mineral soil. Place it on deposits in Wolfish Hollow. Blueprint available in a new location.
8. Clay-soil miner – harvests clay and soil. Perfect for your homestead! Blueprint found in a new location.
9. Grindstone – upgrade tools to rare (70% chance) or epic (45% chance). But beware—failure means losing materials. High risk, high reward!
10. New weapons!
• Iron morning star. Buy from Fred.
• Refined short sword -study in the ruins.
11. Metal alloy parts – new crafting tier!
12. Steles system—no more digging through locked chests! Now, blueprints, manuals, keys, and artifacts are neatly placed on steles for easy studying.
13. Lockpicking skill— is added into your skill table unlocks at level 10. Master all three levels, and chests will bow before you!
14. Crusher—grind stone into sand! Complete Estiel’s 3rd quest to get it ASAP.
15. Expanded building area—now with more space for your dream farm, house, and garden!
16. Iron, coal and copper deposits have been deleted from - Mekhrahn’s mine now holds iron, coal, and copper deposits (where they belong).
17. Primitive building is here! Craft thatch parts from your inventory using sticks, fiber, and ropes. Need long sticks? Chop logs at a stump! Upgrade to wood later if you like.
Farm life just got cuter!
18. Roosters, hens, and chicks—oh my!
• Hens lay eggs (add a rooster for fertilized ones).
• Kill a hen/rooster? Get poultry carcasses (dress them at the butcher’s block) and feathers.
• Buy eggs/roosters from Sebastian, build a hatchery, and incubate eggs for chicks.
• Use chickenfeed to make them follow you. Aww!

19. Wicker fences & gates—buy blueprints from Eugene. Build fences for your poultry and cattle!
Pro tip: Fence don’t attach to each other so please use grid attachment (Alt) for perfect alignment!
20. Cows, Bulls and Calves:
• A cow gives milk. When you see the full milk indicator, approach the cow with a small empty bottle to collect milk.
• Cows can give birth to calves, but you'll need a bull for breeding.
• If you kill a cow or bull, you'll receive a premium carcass that can be processed at the butcher's block.
• Killing a calf yields a small carcass.
• Want your cattle to follow you? Simply feed them cattlefeed!

21. Chickenfeed and Cattlefeed. These recipes can be bought from Sebastian. Chickenfeed and Cattlefeed is cooked in the cook’s stove.
22. Feeders & troughs (chickenfeeder, poultry water trough, cattlefeeder, cattle water trough)—keep your animals happy. Blueprints from Eugene.
New Dishes & Handy Tweaks
23. Yummy new recipes (buy from Claudia): boiled egg, fried eggs, fried eggs with frankfurters, village bread, roasted chicken leg, fried chicken wings, braised chicken breast with vegetables, simple started culture and village cheese Firefly. Cheese is made in the dryer.
24. Cotton seeds—now drop when harvesting cotton. Grow your own!
25. Climbing & crouching—scale walls and stairs in special spots. Sneaky!
26. Improved maps—scrollable and interactive! Keep one in your inventory and press M to check your location.
27. Notes have been transferred into a separate section —press N to access. No more clutter!
28. Skeletons now wield skeleton’s rusty swords—no more arrow swords!
29. The Valley of Stone Giants (in Ruins) has been closed temporary and will be opened to you very soon to bring you another piece of the story of the game.
Quality-of-Life Improvements:
30. Loading screen tips—handy hints while you wait!
31. Workbench guides—clearer instructions.
32. Revamped workbench interfaces—smoother crafting.
33. Revamped building system – the distance building is increased, now the building parts are being highlighted, you can pick up all your building parts.
34. Bigger stacks!
• Simple Vials/simple water vials; big cant timber and small blocking lumber; ice; wooden flat plates, wooden soup plates and wooden cups; copper, iron and golden plates - now stack to 100. Less inventory stress!

What’s Next?
We’re already polishing the next major update—expect breathtaking locations, thrilling quests, fearsome bosses, and fresh blueprints! It won’t take as long this time, promise.
Optimization note: We’ve made some experiments with optimization and managed to get some positive results but they are not very visible and if you play with the settings, you can get more fps, but we will keep on working on optimization but it will take more time as we have to concentrate on adding more new content for you to play.
Thank you for being part of this journey! Dive in, explore, and let us know what you think. Happy crafting, adventurers!
— The Magisterium Team
P.S. Found a bug? Let us know—we’re on it!

Greetings, dear FantasyCrafters!

We apologize for the lack of news over the past few months. We’ve been working tirelessly on the game, and in fact, we’ve had to rework practically the entire game from scratch. We’ve made numerous changes and added even more content. Now, we’re excited to announce that a major update is on the way.

Warning! Unfortunately, all your current saves will not be compatible with the new update, meaning you’ll have to start the game from the very beginning. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but the previous version of the game didn’t allow us to implement new updates properly, which is why we had to completely overhaul everything. That said, we’ve added so much new content that we believe you’ll find it thrilling to dive into the game all over again.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect in the update:

• We’ve expanded the territory where you can build your home and farm. The huge stone fence that once surrounded the area has been removed, and the ore deposits located there have also been cleared (you’ll soon discover why we made these changes).
  
  
• New locations, caves, and a dungeon have been added, where you’ll uncover new blueprints, resources, and—most importantly—the story of the game.
  
  
• Animal husbandry has been introduced! You’ll now be able to raise roosters, hens, chickens, cows, bulls, and calves. Hens will lay eggs, which you can either incubate or use in cooking. Cows can give birth to calves and produce milk. You’ll also have access to feeders, animal food, and pens to manage your livestock.
  
  
• New workbenches, miners, buildings, tools, weapons, and items have been added to the game. We’ve also made some subtle improvements to the interface.
  
  
• A brand-new and intriguing system has been implemented. Can you guess what it is?
  
  

We have also added a lot more that you will find in the update.

While we don’t want to make any firm promises, we’re doing our best to release the update by February. If we can’t make it by then, the update will definitely be ready by March.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for sticking with us and for your continued support, even though we haven’t been able to release updates for a long time.

Greetings, dear fantasycrafters!
We apologize for not showing up for a long time. We wanted to tell you that we didn’t abandon the game, we kept on working, we have upgraded in-game saving system, added into the game a couple of new workbenches, new items, new locations, new quests, a couple of new mechanics, we have also developed a story of the game. Now we are polishing new content, testing it and we hope that we’ll present you our new content by the New Year.
Stay tuned.

Dear adventurers!
We are happy to add Japanese language into the game.

Dear fantasycrafters, greetings!
