RustV2 - Wipe & Update Information
Minecraft 1.8.9
Minecraft 1.8.9
Wipe Schedule
The server will be wiping on May 9th, 2026 at 7:00 AM Pacific Time.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the new features, balance changes, and the full changelog for this cycle.
Feature Spotlights
Map Generation & SOTW Cave Claims
We have increased the cave generation target, meaning you will see more caves across the map. Additionally, caves will have a larger variety of shapes and will be notably larger at the end.
To improve SOTW balancing, caves must now be unlocked manually. To access a cave, you must click the sign attached to it. You are limited to unlocking one cave every 24 hours. Once unlocked, the cave entrance will automatically be blocked off by your blocks and assigned a door.
We have also introduced a new Snow biome (which will replace the lake snow biome on some wipes) and made major visual improvements to the Rocky Mountain, Tree Root, and Pink Tree biomes. You can now properly break the roots in the Tree Root and Magma biomes.
Major Dungeon Update
This wipe includes a massive overhaul to our dungeon system. Dungeon generation has been improved, and we have significantly reduced branching. Dungeons are now far more linear, removing the need for tedious and pointless backtracking.
Additionally, a large percentage of dungeons will now guarantee a boss fight at the end. We are also introducing two brand-new dungeons: the Warbot Dungeon and the Railway Dungeon. Please note that the Railway dungeon can only be accessed using Raid Keys.
Bullet Block Destruction
To shift the combat meta, bullets will now destroy leaves and resource blocks. This includes logs and even iron ore. Using trees for cover or grappling up into the canopy is no longer a safe strategy, as your cover can easily be shot away.
New Chromium Rank
We are introducing the new Chromium rank. This comes with a handful of new utility commands and features. There are absolutely no P2W advantages in this rank—just highly useful quality-of-life additions. This is available as a $10 upgrade for players who already hold the Titanium+ rank.
Fishing Village Buff
Farming at the Fishing Village is now much more viable. You can now catch up to two clownfish at once, making it a highly ideal farming method.
