Benjamon

New in 2.9: races, talent show, doubles and the Deep Dark

• Races around Benjaby. Right-click the start flag on the town square, ride a mount Benjamon (Pølsezilla, Isbjerg, Stormmåge, Flyvende Malfi …) or drive the car, and race through 12 particle rings around the town and back to the flag. The compass points to the next ring, and friends nearby get a join button so you all start together. The town keeps a leaderboard of the fastest times.
• Benja FM. The car now has a radio. Press M to switch between Benja FM (all the Benjamon discs), Minecraft FM (the vanilla discs) and off, and N to skip to the next song.
• The talent show. At the microphone on the square, pick one of eight songs and play the rhythm game while the judges (Børnemin, Velourotte and Manza) watch. They each say YES or NO. The first show each day pays out, and the highest score of the real-world week becomes the star of the week and wins 3,000 coins.
• The Benjacamera. Buy a camera in the ice cream shop, aim at a wild Benjamon and right-click. Like Pokémon Snap, each photo is scored: rarity, size in the frame, centring, whether it looks into the camera or is moving, costumes and extra Benjamons in the shot. Your photo album keeps the best photo of each species.
• Double battles (2 vs 2). Your two lead Benjamons fight at the same time and you pick an action and a target for each. Storms, waves and other moves that rain down on the field hit both opponents. The new wandering trainers Tim & Tom always fight in pairs, and /benjakamp <player> dobbelt challenges a friend.
• Weekly challenge. A notice board on the square posts a new rule every week (for example Ice types only, One against three or Beat Kaj at level 30). You fight with copies of your team, so nothing is lost. The first win each week pays out, and scores go on the weekly board.
• Treasure maps. Sometimes a black bag holds a treasure map. It shows the way (and the compass points there), an X of flames marks the spot when you get close, and the buried chest holds vanilla treasure plus Ultra Balls and money.
• A secret legend. The Benjasphinx only appears to players who solve her five riddles. The first one is on a note by the card table, and paintings whisper the riddle you are on when you right-click them.
• The Deep Dark. Below y = 0 and in the Deep Dark biome lives the new Darkness type: five new Benjamons that evolve twice each (15 species), plus the Benjasphinx, and eight new moves such as Sculk Shriek and Warden Roar.
• Friendship. Benjamons become friends with you when you walk together, give them ice cream and battle side by side. Good friends land more critical hits, best friends can hang on with 1 HP, and they learn Friendship Hug, a move that grows stronger with your bond.
• Your own garden. Place a garden gate anywhere, and up to six Benjamons from your storage box roam around it. Friends can visit and say hello, even when you are offline.
