Benjamon

New in 2.8: rewards, cooking, fishing and raids

• The record collection. Every Benjamon music disc you have held counts towards your collection (/benjamon plader shows the ones you are missing). Collect all 17 and Benny Bas from the disco basement gives you a Golden Jukebox and joins your team himself in the rare Pride form. The Golden Jukebox plays every Benjamon disc and every vanilla disc, repeats the song on a loop and sparkles with gold while it plays.
• The Dinner Club menu. Six ingredients are found out in the world: lemons in tree leaves, chili in nether wart, shrimp in kelp and seagrass, ender spice in chorus plants and butter in hay bales. Wild Benjamons also drop them after a battle, depending on their type, and the black bags often hold one. Ender-Børnemin cooks five dishes from them, each with a battle bonus: +50 % experience, a 50 % better catch chance, double money or +20 % damage for your next 5 battles, or rare forms 3 times as often for 10 minutes.
• Fishing. When you fish by the sea, a Sea Benjamon can take the hook. The bobber splashes, and if you reel in within a second and a half, the battle starts right there.
• Giga raid (2–4 players). After you have beaten Ender-Børnemin, gather a team in the Dinner Club. Giga Ender-Børnemin appears with enough health for everyone, and each player fights their own battle against him at the same time. All damage comes off the same shared health bar. When someone lands the final blow, the whole team wins money and a Dinner Club gift, and nobody loses money for being knocked out.
• Benjakort, the card game. One of the tables in the Uganda Is ice cream shop is now a card table. Sit down with another player, or play against the computer opponent Kort-Kasper. Each player gets five cards from their own trading-card album. Each of the five rounds draws a category (attack, defence, speed or health), the higher number wins, and a type advantage counts 50 % more. The winner gets money and a new trading card.
• The Benjaby Festival (28 June – 4 July every year). Lil Ztitch hosts the festival on the town square. Every day you can play his song "Drinks med citroner" in the rhythm game, and the first concert of each festival gives you a gift. Wild Benjamons wear flower crowns, the Lil Ztitch family comes out to party, Pride forms appear twice as often, and there are lights and fireworks over the square at night.
• Less lag on multiplayer servers when players are far apart from each other.
