This week on AES 34

This week on AES 34

🪙 New Donations

  • Thanks to Mad7 for the one month renewal!

🔫 Block League

  • A few technical bugfixes

⚔️ Skywars

  • Celestial Palace, bugfix: correctly show the icon of Trapper kit

✏️ Quikbild

  • New map: “Theatre”

This map is not only a cosmetic introduction: Since everyone is forced the same perspective, gameplay might be slightly different from the previous map. The artist no longer needs to consider the orientation of the viewers, but to account for their perspective and make sure the building is actually visible.

fnetx is working in event technology, so the map might have a little more detail than usual. If you wonder about all the things you see on the stage, check out a picture of a common backstage view. The huge machinery compared to the audience is really impressive!

As usual, all our content is accessible under a free/libre license. You can download the map from BlockExchange.

🕹️ Arcade

  • Sumo map “BurningBridge” is now floating in the air

🏟️ Hub

  • The QuikBild area temporarily features an apple

… looks cozy and illustrates the idea of the game. The apple is copied from a previous version of the lobby.

❓ Misc

  • Fixed inadvertent elevated permissions for some users

A huge thanks to CoolClutch for reporting the situation to us quickly.

Last week, a commit modifying the server-manager mod for the building contest early 2026 was inadvertently pushed to the upstream repository and getting deployed on AES. This has caused those with the Map Builder title to gain elevated permissions (fly, fast, noclip, creative and build) on the actual server.
