Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Everyone was taken aback and asked in the voice chat.

"Hey? Tianxia, ​​what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be testing code?"

Xu Tian smiled and controlled Steve to run over from the spawn point, holding a brand new shovel in his hand.

"I came in to test some things in person and lend a hand, since I'm also a player of this game, I can't just watch you guys do the work."

Hearing these words, everyone felt much better. Although they knew he was an official, his attitude was impeccable, and he was completely down-to-earth.

As usual, someone asked a question.

When will the voice system be available?

As Xu Tian skillfully filled in the hole, he gave a perfunctory reply.

"Almost there, the code is almost finished, and we're currently testing for compatibility."

Three hours later.

With the last round stone placed at the breach in the city wall, a simple but fully functional small fortress finally rose from the plain.

Although limited by materials and time, it still looks a bit simple and lacks a grand atmosphere, but compared to the matchbox that MC beginners love, this is already a mansion.

Xu Tian looked at the building in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Although it's a bit monotonous, there are fewer people now, so it's fine as long as we can stay."

He made his own assessment.

"It's not too late to build those spectacular buildings when there are more people later."

Just then, that wonderful system notification sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, mission base construction complete]

[Reward: 100 Energy Points]

[Unlock New Mod: Artisan Craftsmanship]

[Note: This mod adds a variety of advanced workbenches, including a new forge, which support smelting materials, alloy mixing, and allows players to customize crafting tools and weapons.]

[Already included in the module library]

Should this module be listed on the module marketplace?

Xu Tian did not hesitate.

"Put on shelves".

The next second, in the corner of the field of vision of all online players, the previously grayed-out [Shop] icon suddenly flashed a red dot.

Someone immediately exclaimed in the voice channel.

"Huh? The mod shop has been updated? I remember they were all locked before, but now there seems to be one that's lit up."

Xu Tian interjected at the opportune moment.

"Yes, I've already tested that module internally, and there aren't any serious bugs, so I'll release it for you guys to try out first."

Chapter 13 is so dark

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and opened the store interface.

In the first row, a module icon called "Craftsmanship" was emitting a faint glow.

Click to view details.

Function: Unlocks new casting stations and associated smelting processes.

Purpose: Allows players to break through the limitations of the original crafting recipes and create more advanced tools and custom-designed weapons and equipment through molds and forging.

Chen Xu carefully read through the introduction and stroked his chin as he analyzed.

"This mod must be for the world of Asilia, right? In Minecraft, the original sword and pickaxe are perfectly sufficient, there's no need to make it so complicated."

He agreed, completely bewildered.

"Indeed, I think the game's attack methods are a bit monotonous, with only slashing and archery as options. This mod is probably meant to give us more choices in combat styles."

Yang Qinyu's perspective is more professional.

"That's right. Some people prefer spears, some prefer daggers. MC can't do those. With this, does it mean we can design our own blueprints and then forge unique weapons? Or even... firearms?"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of thoughts among the crowd.

"Holy crap? If we could make our own guns, wouldn't that turn the game into an FPS?"

"You can even build Gundams?"

"You're overthinking it. If you're building a Gundam using just a platform, you'd need even more powerful modules..."

Just as everyone was envisioning the future, someone suddenly noticed the number below the module.

Price: 20 Gold Coins

"Did I see wrong?"

Niu Niu rubbed his eyes.

"20 gold coins? That's expensive!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and gasped in shock.

They had worked hard all night, and with the rewards from leveling the land and building the house, they only had a dozen or so gold coins left.

Is this one module going to drain our entire fortune?

The voice chat was immediately filled with wails.

"Isn't this a bit too much? This is just a basic module."

"That's right, this is a closed beta test, shouldn't they offer us a discount so we can help find bugs?"

Xu Tian remained calm in the face of everyone's bargaining.

"Although it's a closed beta test, the game data will not be deleted."

He explained slowly.

"From now on, we will only keep opening up slots to let new players in. Everything you buy now, the houses you build, and the levels you level up will all be retained."

These words acted as a reassurance, instantly silencing the crowd who were still complaining.

No data wipe?

What does that mean? It means that they are the true pioneers of the game.

Every advantage you accumulate now through hard work will become something to brag about to new players in the future.

"I understand."

Chen Xu was immediately wide awake.

"In other words, we are getting a head start now, so spending these 20 gold coins is worthwhile."

"I bought it, so I can enjoy it sooner."

"Let's go, let's go. Now that we've finished building our home in Minecraft, let's hurry over to Asilia and build our outpost there too. Then we'll go there to make money and buy mods."

The few people who were originally saying they couldn't hold on any longer suddenly became incredibly excited, rushing towards the purple portal as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

The group hurriedly passed through the portal and arrived at the real continent of Eshilia.

According to Yang Qinyu's design, this outpost needed to be built against the mountain, but as soon as construction began, problems were discovered.

In Minecraft, a block placed in a square is fixed at one meter.

This was normal in that pixelated world, but in this realistic world, you want to create some intricate structures.

For example, when used as a firing port, a step, or a slightly curved corner, this meter-sized block appears incredibly bulky.

"What do we do?"

Niu Niu raised his pickaxe and tapped it against a round stone wall that had just been placed there.

"boom!"

The entire rock disintegrated and returned to its suspended state.

"When you dig, the whole piece falls down, and you can't reshape it like you would in real life."

He complained in the voice message.

“Apart from rough work like building city walls, they simply can’t do anything even slightly delicate; it’s just too crude.”

Xu Tian heard their complaints and offered a timely explanation.

"Your current tools are insufficient for sculpting matter in this world."

He pointed to the simple stone pickaxes in everyone's hands.

"The original tools can only handle standard units of blocks. To chisel, carve, or cut them into smaller pieces, you must use specialized tools from the Artisan Craft mod, such as chisels and saws."

"or……"

Xu Tian paused, then added.

"The tools you find and create in this real world can also be used for physical processing."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a bit overwhelmed.

"So we don't even have a decent hammer right now, and all we can do is play with Lego bricks?"

"Yes, for now."

Xu Tian nodded.

"But once this base is built, you should have enough gold coins to unlock the modules. With the forging table and new tools, you can repair whatever you want."

"and".

Xu Tian's tone became more serious.

"Instead of focusing on architectural details, I suggest you prioritize equipment. This game will feature large-scale interdimensional wars and even interdimensional invasions in the future. Without sufficiently good equipment, simply building a nice-looking house won't keep out monsters."

These words instantly drew everyone's attention away from the renovation and back to survival.
