Aetherhaven

[3.0.0] - 8/24/2026

Added

• Festival square New plot that sits as a quiet plaza most of the year and turns into a festival build on festival days. A banner announces the festival by name when it opens. Townsfolk and visitors gather there. The square is protected for everyone, including operators, so nobody can build on it or dig it up, though you can still use and harvest what is there. Operators can turn building on for themselves with a creative command.
• New Life Festival Early spring holiday. Feed life essence to the Springheart Lettuce in the middle of the square until it is full, then press F to pop it into vegetable seeds and spring festival tickets. You can keep feeding it for a bigger pop, and concentrated life essence counts for much more. It only pops once a year, so gather everyone for it. The priestess, farmer, and elder come to watch, and a kweebec seed seller brings a cart of seeds for the day, paid for in gold coins.
• Pig Racing Festival Late spring holiday at the festival square. Bet gold coins on one of four pigs, watch them race, and a banner names the winner so you know who to cheer. Collect spring festival tickets if yours wins, or try another race after a loss. The elder, innkeeper, blacksmith, and rancher come to watch, and a race merchant sells ranch goods for spring festival tickets.
• Market Festival Mid autumn holiday at the festival square. Town members set out goods on one shared stall, Elder Lyren judges it, and you collect a place, autumn festival tickets, and a town scoreboard. Some townsfolk open ticket stalls for the day.
• Hallow's Eve Late autumn holiday at the festival square. Talk to the merchant to run a timed maze for ten gold coins, collect glowing orbs, and pop the jack o lantern for autumn festival tickets and spooky candy. Only one person runs the maze at a time. Bats fly above the square for the night. The merchant keeps a scoreboard of the best maze runs.
• Carnival Festival Late summer holiday that runs all day at the festival square. Pop floating balloons with darts, spin the wall carnival wheel for a chance at summer festival tickets, and visit the carnival merchant for fireworks, popcorn, a kweebec plushie, and clown wardrobe looks. The elder, bard, innkeeper, and florist come to watch.
• Tree Climbing Festival Mid summer holiday at the festival square. Join a climb race at the attendant, race up the big tree to the pink crystal, earn summer festival tickets for a fast time, check the shared leaderboard, and buy rare saplings plus bush, beehive, jungle sapling, and rafflesia wardrobe hats from the merchant.
• Snowball Throwing Festival Early winter holiday at the festival square. Join a fight at the merchant, grab snowballs from piles, and the winning team gets winter festival tickets when the fight ends. The merchant sells holiday decorations, snowball piles, and a santa hat pattern. The merchant keeps a scoreboard of the most hits in one fight.
• Wintertide Late winter holiday at the festival square. Talk to the merchant to hear who you should give a gift to, then give it in person. Press F on a town member who is there, or talk to a villager while holding the gift. You earn winter festival tickets from how much they like it. Gifts to villagers count twice as much toward friendship. After you give, a villager brings you a gift too, and the merchant sells holiday goods for winter festival tickets.

• Morning tax chat The message names the town, so you can tell which treasury collected when you belong to more than one.
