The Awakening

Exosavant

• New suit skins: Slim, Axolotl and Sculk. Each one unlocks by doing something as an Exosavant.
• Pick your skin from the new Skins tab on the character screen. Hover a skin to preview it on your model.
• Other players see the skin you wear.
• New OP commands: /awakened exoskins unlock <player> and /awakened exoskins wear <player> <skin>.

Mod of the Year

• The Awakening is in CurseForge's Mod of the Year 2026. Players who are enjoying the mod get a short chat reminder to nominate it, at most three times, until November 8.
• There is also a "Nominate us" button under the character screen, and a "Nominate The Awakening" button above Mods in the pause menu.
• Clicking Nominate opens the form and copies the mod's CurseForge link, which the form asks for.
• Players can turn it off with contest.nominationReminder in the client config, and server owners for everyone with /awakened config contest.nominationReminder false.
