.: SPOTLIGHT :. Expo 1.10 Arrives

Hello Crafty Miners and welcome back to another edition of Spotlight. This week we spotlight Expo 1.10 to see all the new features that have been released. So let's get to it!

Several new blocks are now available to use. These include the Magma block, the bone block, the Structure block, Nether Wart Block and the Red Nether Brick.

Of note, the structure block can be used to take existing structures or buildings, copy them and then paste them anywhere in the world. Trans-hub has already utilized this new technology to copy their transportation station several times to various locations. Public works is also looking at using this block to create standard public structures that can be placed around the city, such as the teleportation booths.

Lastly, we say hello to a new animal that has been discovered; the Polar Bear. These creatures come from the frosty lands of snow and ice. This particular fellow is the first in the World of RAAR. Once this exposition is complete, he will be safely transported to a newly announced Animal Preserve that will be located in north Imperial City.

We hope you have enjoyed this brief look at the new 1.10 items. Please feel free to comment or check out the rest of our blog. If you are looking to get blog updates faster, join our World of RAAR Google+ community. Thanks for your support and until we meet again, Happy Crafting!

.: SNEAK PEEK :. Imperial City Expansion Updates

The Imperial City Council has approved three new major projects recently. The first was the Spleef arena, which broke ground last week. The other two was the approval to demolish the East City Stables and Library in order for a new library and horse parkade to be built in their place.

::EXPO 1.9:: Finally Here

IT'S HERE!! After much anticipation and quite a long wait, 1.9 has finally been released! 

To celebrate this release, the Expo Center located in the Tri-C tower has been cleared out of all the Expo 1.8 exhibits and in its place is all the new items and blocks now available in 1.9. There is lots to see from this long coming event, even a highly guarded, highly unstable Ender crystal! (It will blow up and destroy everything... don't ask how I know)

Thanks for following Expo 1.9 over its entire course. We hope to bring you new updates as they develop for Expo 1.10!!

If you'd like to see everything released in 1.9, use the labels on the side of the blog to search for all articles related to Expo 1.9.

::SNEAK PEEK:: Space Race

A new ride is under construction at the TIELAND Amusement Park. From what we can tell it looks like it will be a space themed rollercoster!

What do you think?

::SPOTLIGHT:: Skywalk Bridge

Hello Crafty Miners! Welcome back to the World of RAAR. This week we check out the newest bridge to be built in Imperial City, so let's get to it!

Late in 2015, Imperial City council met to discuss the expansion to the north and east sides of the grand canal. In that meeting, it was decided a second bridge across the watery gap was needed in order for the expansion plans to move forward.

After several different designs were rejected, the one that met the qualifications and fit the area selected for construction was the Skywalk Bridge. The bridge utilizes a double entry point on the east shore which allows pedestrians easy access from the existing road while maintaining only a small easement on the existing land lot. The west shore of the bridge is a single entry which ties in nicely with the existing infrastructure. 

Tri-C Engineering was able to build the bridge quickly which helped city council begin the process of subdividing the lots for future construction projects.

We hope you have enjoyed this look at the Skywalk Bridge. Stay tuned for more builds coming your way on the World of RAAR Blog. Until we meet again, Happy Crafting! 

::SPOTLIGHT:: Ender Island

Hello Crafty Miners! Welcome to a new Spotlight post. 

This week we travel west from Imperial City to the mysterious Ender Island and explore its history within the World of RAAR. So let's get to it!

In the Age of Survival, Ender Island stood as a way point for Talamer as he traveled to explore new lands. However, at night the island would become home to a hoard of Endermen who would appear and disappear taking with them pieces of the island.

To secure his foothold on the island, Talamer built a small castle fortress and began driving the Endermen away. It was a hopeless task as the dark, lanky creatures from another realm would continuously return in great numbers.


As time wore on, the Age of Creative arrived and the fortress was incorporated into the transportation system which connected the kingdoms of The Imperial Empire to Jursammic Park and eventually to Trevoria and Riahtopiah. Since that time, not much has happened with the island although plans have been revealed by a historical society within the World of RAAR to preserve the island and the castle for future generations by incorporating a visitor center and museum.


For now Ender Island will stand as part of the western rail line perhaps finding new life in the hands of historians in the near future.

We hope you have enjoyed this look at another one of our historical builds. Stay tuned for more posts coming your way in weeks to come. We are grateful for all who support this site and contribute in the comments. Have a great week and Happy Crafting!
