A Forever Beta character in the launcher

Beta character

A fresh Beta. A new Slayer.

  • Everyone starts a new character for the Beta, so everyone starts equal.
  • One Forever character for the Beta, saved online.
  • Same rules for everyone: no adding items, no changing game rules.
  • Your regular 1.14.7 Slayer stays separate. Nothing on it changes.
The list of open Forever worlds

Open hunts

More players. Fewer empty worlds.

  • See a hunt that is already going? Jump in.
  • Up to 8 players in one hunt. If it is full, a new one opens.
  • Quiet worlds merge into busier ones, so hunts are easier to fill. You travel there, no queue.

Host handoff

Host leaves? The hunt can continue.

When the player hosting your world leaves, another player's PC can take over. You see a short loading screen, then you are back in the same fight.

BetaIf no PC can take over in time, you go back to Ramsgate instead. You keep your character either way.

Optional

Help keep the worlds running.

You never have to host. If you want to help, one button runs a world from your PC.

Questions

Questions

Do I have to host?

No. Just press Play Forever. Hosting is optional.

Can I use my normal character?

Not in the beta test. We are gathering data first, and if it goes well we will roll it out as a main feature.

Which version is it for?

1.14.7 only for now.

What if the host's internet drops?

Another player's PC takes over and you keep playing after a short loading screen. If none can take over in time, you go back to Ramsgate.

What does the host check send?

Only a score for your PC and how many hunts it can run. You see it first, and nothing is sent until you press Send.

Is hosting safe? Does it cost anything?

It is free, and there is nothing to change on your router.

How many players fit?

8 per hunt. A world can run several hunts at once, depending on the host's PC.

Something broke. What do I do?

On the launcher's Play page, click More, then Send my logs. Your Forever logs are included.
