Special thanks to The Archives for help making the 2025 map!
EMERGENCY NOTICE: Xavier's Help Text about the new alt-spawn feature is wrong.
It should be: /town spawn <spawn_name>
(In other words, name the spawn anything you like;
don't put your town's name there.)

BB News June 2025: What's New?
- After the bonanza in May, Xavier has returned to unusual behavior. On 6/24 he posted
a survey on Instgram, "Which do you want added the most? 1) Combat, 2) Claim land by placing
a special block, 3) Map and compass." These are not things any player has actually asked for
or wants right now. Then on 6/26, he posted, "Which best describes the game? 1) Online,
2) Avatar." We are on the eve of Builder Buddies' 10th anniversary (July), and the developer
still hasn't figured out how to best describe his game.
BB News May 2025
- Xavier shocked again on 5/1 by lowering prices of three mounts. This is amazing and historic
because Xavier virtually NEVER lowers prices on anything, ever. Hopefully by decreasing prices,
more people will buy. Croc: Old price 10K gems, new price 5K gems. Turtle: Old price 11.5K gems,
new price 6K gems. Zebra: Old price 13.5K gems, new price 7K gems. (The new prices also increase
hope for a flying dragon mount, as 13.5K is effectively the most Xavier can charge - now there
is room to "grow.")
- Speaking of "room to grow," on 5/6 Xavier released a brand-new Lion mount (not a re-skin but
a very thoughfully created new mount). With the new mount "slots", the Lion predictably was
priced at 8,000 gems.
- The pricing miracle continued on 5/13 with Xavier lowering the price of the frog from 4,000
to 2,500 gems and hair colors from 2,000 to 1,000 gems (white hair from 2,500 gems to 1,500 gems)
and eye colors from 2,000 to 1,000 gems.
- Then, on 5/19, Xavier added a brand-new fox mount for 3,000 gems.
- On 5/15, Xavier made a bizarre appearance at Paris City for about a minute and a half. He
actually did the parkour and made it all the way to the top, but he seemed only interested in
doing the parkour, and didn't talk to anyone despite many players trying to say hi to him.
His name was spelled correctly and he had a lion mount and frog pet. We are not sure what to
make of this.
- On 5/1, Kris beat Arch in the Super Blue 16 final. Kris and Arch now both have 2 Super
Blue wins each. Super Blue tournaments are proceeding much more rapidly now, often taking only
a week instead of multiple months.
BB News April 2025
- Xavier, making himself scarce for months, shocked everyone on 4/17 by implementing a long-requested
"alt spawn" feature. For 2,000 gems, you can set additional spawn points in your town, even
giving them their own names (and it looks like 4 words are allowed instead of 3 for spawn points).
There is a mistake in his documentation, though. It should be:
/town spawn <spawn_name>
(In other words, name the spawn anything you like; don't put your town's name there.)
The_Archives, on 4/18, was the first person to try out the alt-spawn. He went with the bad documentation
and accidentally made a spawn "Leafy Kingdom - Leafy Kingdom". Realizing how the feature worked,
The Last City quickly followed with a couple of its own alt-spawns. One of them is
"The Last City - The Last City Desert". We also discovered you can SEARCH on spawn names...
so for example if you search for "desert" you get that spawn point for The Last City! Finally,
players at an alt-spawn doesn't count towards top towns (usually) because the alt-spawn would be more
than 5 plots away from the main spawn.
- Mak, after having issues in her personal life, is playing BB again and has resumed her
Paris City time slot.
BB News March 2025
- Instgram user @builderbuddiesdev posted a video showing an alleged hacking app he made that
lets him give himself gold and gems in Builder Buddies and VRCraft. We contacted the developer
Xavier Robledo who confirmed this app is a fake. (Our analysis of the video has shown other
obvious signs it is fake.) However, the user is using this fake app
to try to scam players of money and gems. One prominent mayor already lost 3,000 gems to the
scam.
- There has been a surge of wilderness building activity around the town "Dec" lately.
This town is becoming a replacement for "Pilipinas Cct" which showed equally strong wilderness
building activity in 2022. Because of this, some Time Slot attendees are hanging out there
immediately after the last Time Slot at Leafy Kingdom. The player Expired_Ohio invented a new
challenge where he got on the glass ring around spawn and tried to do a backwards jump using
his mount across a 3-block-wide gap to the town's outer glass ring. Rigil_Kentaurus was the
first to successfully do it, and received a gem prize from Wool_Bro, but many other players
have succeeded since then. As a variation to the challenge, you can also try to do the backwards
jump while facing straight up.
- The_Archives discovered a new glitch variation in BB where an already-glitched plot does not
appear glitched when approached from a long distance to the north, until you get closer.
However if you approach from the east or west it still always looks glitched.
- Random_Username found a new way to glitch water by draining water from 9 plots in a 3x3
plot area, exposing just the bare sand, then eminent domaining the center plot. The water returns
to the center plot but does not immediately flood the neighboring plots. This was the first time
this glitch was done in BB, but sadly, Random_Username destroyed this unusual effect a few days
after he made it because he was bored. However, Termite filmed it, so he may eventually make
a YouTube video about it.
BB News Feb. 2025
- On 2/8, Prime won the Super Blue 11 (SBXI) Parkour Tournament. Super Blue 12 (SBXII) has
immediately started, and, interestingly, on 2/10 Prime got eliminated by Kris in a surprise
upset. Even more surprisingly, Kris ended up being defeated in the finals (later in February)
by The Archives. Now in late February, Super Blue 13 has started.
- During the week of 2/23, The Archives supplied a list of towns and coordinates to Elder
Termite so he could get finally get a new BB world map published (after over a year!). This
map is at the top of this web page.
BB News Jan. 2025:
- On 1/6, Honorio, a long-time neighbor town of Diamond Forgiveness Falls, suddenly deleted.
- Time Slot Damage and Reboot: On 1/9, The leader of the BB Mafia was banned by Xavier.
However, the damage to the Time
Slots was already done: Most players were still sour from all the drama and not interested in
Time Slots anymore, and the Time Slot Hosts were worried other members of the BB Mafia might
still cause trouble, so all slots got put on hold. On 1/16, Termite re-started his Diamond
Forgivenss Falls slot, and a week later Centaurus resuming its slot. Leafy Kingdom followed
shortly later. It was noticed that
most of the time slot attendees were NEW players, not the ones soured from the BB Mafia attacks
and drama (though some old attendees are gradually coming back), so Time Slots have
more-or-less rebooted for 2025. Attendance is still WAY down from 2024 and is only gradually
increasing.
- On 1/9, Xavier made a post on Instagram asking players for their feedback. This
gave players some hope that Xavier is listening again. Two of the most popular responses were
1-click muting and a way to ban players from even entering a town. (Also a dragon mount
received significant interest.) However, Xavier's motives
are unclear because of two other things he did the same day: 1) He posted a separate survey
as an Instagram 'story' with 3 things players don't have much interest in; 2) He came
in game and told players flat-out he was only interested in doing features that make him money.
So, we are not sure what will happen. However, banning the leader of the BB Mafia was,
in my personal opinion, a huge move that may save BB.
- On 1/29, Nicey (former mayor of Peace Cove and former YouTuber) made a surprise appearance
at the Diamond Forgiveness Falls time slot. He said it was only a guest appearance as he is
still too busy with college to play BB. He also took town his YouTube channel; however, he
has made arrangements for Termite to re-post some of his most popular videos on Termite's
own channel, which Termite will slowly
do over the next few weeks.
BB News Dec. 2024:
- On 12/2, Xavier released a new zebra mount for a whopping 13,500 gems ($100.00 U.S.).
There are a couple of interesting things to note about this mount. First, Xavier took a quick
poll on Instagram on 11/25 asking which mount we like best with the following approximate
results: Banana 35%, Fox 25%, Lion 24%, and Zebra 16%. Once again Xavier did the exact opposite
of what players requested. Also, this mount is the "easiest" of the four for Xavier to make
as it is just a re-skin of a horse, and no other special abilities, but with the highest price
tag yet. Obviously Xavier is targeting only whales with this approach. Rather than releasing
Termite's proposed "flying dragon" right away, Xavier is probably "testing the waters" to see
how much whales can tolerate, potentially opening the door for charging 29,000 gems ($200) for
the flying dragon a year from now rather than giving up "easier income" in the meantime. As
for attracting NEW players to the game, the only recent free/cheap adds are flowers and DMs;
hopefully that will be enough to keep the game going.
- Also on 12/2, Random Username (a.k.a. "Randy"), decided to delete his large town Dig City
and instead create a new town Pilipinas in the exact same location of Pilipinas Cct, with the
same mine and wilderness access, in order to recreate the "magic" of BB during the wall builders
period of 2022 (an otherwise "dark" time of BB after Pioneers fizzled out and before the revival
with Time Slots in 2023 and when players like Randy and Term were struggling for meaning in the
game and spent a LOT of time doing collaborative builds in the wilderness at Pilipinas, even
making YT videos). During the inagural Time Slot at Pilipinas, noobs immediately started building
things in the wilderness just like in those Pilipinas "glory days".
- HOWEVER, Randy's experiment failed. Randy created a second town "Community Building" with
the same goal of wilderness building, and players were confused as to which town to go to.
Further, some time slots were "moved" to other towns such as "Dec" which briefly had a burst
of wilderness activity. Without the focus and long term commitment, most players stopped
attending the time slot and/or building. Randy surprised everyone by deleting BOTH towns
on 12/26.
- On 12/17, BB Direct Messages (DMs), which has been in beta for a while (i.e., only a few
players selected at random had it), was finally released to everyone. DMs *ARE* available in
version 2.4.89, which is good news for those who are staying at version 89 in order to retain
wall glitching capability.
- At the end of December, Bagel returned to BB after a several months' break. Being friendly
at first, he started drama in Time Slots again. Players started relentlessly cyberbullying Kara,
and one of the
rogue whales even surrounded her 150 plot town of Four Link Clover (it probably cost $100 in
gems to do this). Kara was so upset she deleted her town and quit BB. Termite was so upset
about what he called the "new BB mafia" that he took another several days' break from Time
Slots and broke relations with a lot of players he thought were his friends. Bagel does NOT
consider himself a mafia leader and does NOT take responsibility for Kara being trapped or
her deleting. BB players are now divided into "Termite" and "Bagel" camps, with Bagel believing
it is his duty to complain to everyone if he sees what he feels is unacceptable behavior in
BB, and Termite believing he should focus on his own time slot and not interfere with other
players and towns. Also, in general, the "Bagel" camp approves of cussing and drama, whereas
the "Termite" camp sticks to "CCT" rules (no cussing, no bullying, no spamming, no
inappropriate behavior) to keep BB safe for younger players. BB demographs seem to have changed
over the last couple of years, with most of the "vocal" players now apparently in the "Bagel"
camp.
- Wilmington (formerly Goofy World) town & time slot also deleted, mainly for reasons
unrelated to the Mafia, but the presence of the Mafia didn't help.
BB News Nov. 2024
- EMERGENCYOn 11/18 some players reported that they are NOT able to wall glitch
with the new BB version 2.4.90. This is a CRITICAL technique for many players (e.g., escape
a town that has walled off their wilderness). It is suggested that you turn OFF automatic
BB updates until we can figure out what is going on.
- A few players have seen a BETA of a new messaging system that Xavier is working on.
More information is in this video.
- Xavier also reduced the size of the free gold notification light so it's harder to see and
easier to not notice you have free gold waiting.
- Without warning, Xavier released the red tulip flower on Nov. 11th (we thought he was in
experiments mode and busy with other things). In May Xaiver said the flower would be BLUE, so
RED is a surprise. Some players are theorizing the Blue/Red change may secretly be political
(blue=Democratic, red=Republican).
- In early November, Centaurus completed a 15-plot road to Diamond, which itself connects to
Wildside (and thus also to Loveland, Diamond Forgiveness Falls, Leafy Kingdom, Four Link Clover,
etc.). This was a collaborative operation between the mayors of Centaurus, Diamond, and
Wildside. It is another substantial anti-trapping measure, which is also helping to stop the
otherwise uncontrolled expansion of the town Roanoake which keeps adding blank, flattened plots
but doing nothing with them. Meanwhile, the brand new, 1-plot town of Little Nightmares started
a time slot, but had no anti-trapping plan and quickly got picked off by a trapper. [Wildside
put a road on their part of the link to Diamond on 12/1.]
- On 11/22, Panic Disorder (Alley) was installed as the new comayor of Four Link Clover in
a special ceremony. The previous comayor, Smokey, was un-co'd a few days earlier after
disagreements with Mayor Kara. [However, Panic lasted less than a month as Co.]
- Also on 11/22, Termite counted & estimated the total number of towns in BB as 836. Just
before Covid it was 743 and the summer after Covid it got to a high of 1,402 before gradually
declining to where it is today. So, despite the BB revival in early 2023, the success of
time slots, and new mounts, clothes, pets and blocks, it is likely the the overall players and
activity of BB has continued to decline (unless part of the decline of number of towns is due
to the town trappers). Long-time players taking advantage of time slots may
experience a much more satisfying game, but the future of BB is in jeopardy without more income
for Xavier (and some of Xavier's efforts to increase income just drive away new players).
Perhaps catering to the BB Whales is Xavier's only hope.
- Latest Xavier scandal: Since Xavier Robledo answered Goofy's friend request, Goofy suggested
a bunch of ideas to Xavier including watching 1 ad gives you 2 gems. Xavier ended up doing the
opposite for some players (apparently another experiment): 1 ad now 60 seconds instead of 30.
- On USA's Thanksgiving Day (11/26), Kara hosted a special Thanksgiving Dinner at her town's
time slot. It was well attended and so many players gave their thanks. Term preserved the special
moment in a YouTube video.
- On 11/27, Goofy/Narc renamed her time slot town Goofy World to Wilmington.
BB News Oct. 2024
- On 10/1, Louis Vuiton was installed at comayor at Centaurus in a special ceremony.
- Also on 10/1, The Archives and Elder Termite completed a gigantic, 53-plot road (848 blocks) between
their towns Leafy Kingdom and Diamond Falls. Being almost entirely over water, the road is a series
of causeways and bridges with a few islands. This may be the longest road yet in Builder Buddies
that is thoughtfully built as an actual road and not just a long string of undeveloped, flattened
plots. The primary purpose of the connecting road is to defend against town trappers (see
Term's video about this).
- Xavier released a policeman uniform outfit on 10/2. Price is same as dino onesie (2500 gems
per piece for total of 10,000 gems).
- Reports are coming in that Xavier has restored the 217 gem plot claim price for town
expansion for all players. Also, town trapping and town trolling activity seems to have decreased
lately.
- The Dino/Dice trapping war is over, with Dice apparently not playing anymore (though keeping
his town). However, other whale trappers remain very active.
- On 10/15, Ocean Eyes (Chey) was made comayor of Leafy Kingdom. This is a big milestone for LK
as it has transitioned from being a very inactive town to a very active town with a nightly time
slot with lots of attendance.
BB News Sept. 2024
- Termite released an important new YouTube video, "The
'WHALE' Era of Builder Buddies,"
finally documenting the steadily growing town trapping problem (and also the 80 plot "throw
away" town from 8/29) and how whales and town trapping are changing the game.
- After new whale player "Dice" trapped his third town, "Dino", the mayor of Dino claimed
plots to trap back, leading to a trapping war and many signs and inappropriate statues erected.
Dice's original town Dumi City, not related in any way to the historical Dumi City (it was only
used as a cover for scamming), is now renamed Cloud Nine.
- Smokey McCloud started playing BB again, and was made Comayor at Four Link Clover.
- At noon Eastern Time on 9/19, Xavier finally released something new: A
sea turtle mount.
Price: 11,750 gems. Smokey McCloud (Co at FLC) purchased it within the first two hours.
Surprisingly, it does not float on top of the water, but sinks like every other mount so far.
- Termite discovered that you can no longer create plots that are separated from the rest of
your town by unclaiming plots to create a separation. The new error message is, "Unclaim will
lead to another plot not being adjacent to ."
BB News Aug. 2024
- In ANOTHER serious scandal of the BB developer, it was discovered that Xavier is charging
different players different prices for claiming plots for their town with gems. Some players are
getting a price of 217 (the price we've had for quite some time), some are getting 280 and some
are getting 325. Obviously Xavier has once again resumed his unpopular experiments. However,
the price of 325 is 50% more than the 217 price and gives some players a clear,
unfair disadvantage.
- Baked Potato (a.k.a. "Bud") decided he was too busy to maintain his town Baked Potatoes,
so he deleted it on 8/12. Instead, he is now a co-mayor at Paris City. For a while he kept his time
slot and hosted it at Paris City, but on 8/30 he reliquinsihed it to Star Rot (Co of Las Vegas).
- Prime wins the Super Blue 10 parkour tournament. Abby and Rigil have already started Super
Blue 11 in a similar format.
- Mak, the leader of CCT 2024, decides to suspend the CCT program due to "lack of interest."
For now, all CCT towns will continue their time slots, but as independent towns.
- The Archives (a.k.a. "Arch"), having seen a revived interest in his town Leafy Kingdom from
Super Blue 10 as well as revived interest in BB in general due to the Time Slots, not only
canceled his plans to delete his town, but he decided to
start hosting his own time slot at 11pm ET. However it will be a PG-16 slot, allowing cussing.
- Shaun Llama, also after a long hiatus, is encouraged by the Time Slots and is playing BB
more now. He just constructed a beautiful waterfall at the connection of his town Wildside to
Diamond Forgiveness Falls "at the rainbow bridge."
- Builder Buddies' town trapping problem continues to grow, with 11 towns with the name "trap"
in it as of Aug. 26th as well as a town named Iiiiiii. More new mayors are seeking help from
experienced players in preventing their towns from being trapped.
- On Aug. 29th, a player claimed and flattened 80 plots next to Leafy Kingdom, then, within a
few hours at most, deleted the town. Even at the cheapest 217 price for claiming plots, that
is 19,360 gems which would cost about $140. It is mind boggling that certain players can waste
that kind of money like it's nothing, and it definitely is going to change the dynamics of BB.
BB News July 2024
- Shockingly, another gigantic historical town in BB deleted: Ghost Town. (In the "Golden
Era" of BB, the Big Four historical gigantic towns were Ghost Town, Paris City, Jolly Town,
and Newyork. Now only Newyork remains. The original Paris City deleted and the current Paris
City is a rebranding of Axel's Town.) A player claimed the unique Ghost Town castle with
an alt, but plans to demolish it and take the wool instead of preserve it.
- Bagel and Smokey both changed their minds about "permanently quitting BB" and decided
to come back (albeit without towns and less pressure on commitment). They were happy to
reconnect with their friends. Smokey kept his name but Bagel came back as Itzjust_Jeff.
Bagel initially resumed his attacks on Diamond Forgiveness Falls, but later in July he has
decided to put aside his differences and just have fun with friends, even joining in the
11:30pm wilderness fun (glitching, political signs, statue & treehouse building, etc.)
after the Diamond Forgiveness Falls time slot.
- In a huge BB scandal, Xavier Robledo, the developer, has joined the town of a known
trapper and problem player, even a town that has prominent inapporpriate statues of male
anatomy. Players asked Xavier about this but he declined to comment. One player thinks it
could be a message to the problem player that he is being watched. Others think that the
problem player gets a "free pass" to do whatever he wants because he gives Xavier a lot
of money. It was also noted that, in the past, Xavier has briefly joined Switch City and
Snow Bell, for reasons unknown. So the bottom line is we just don't know, though politically
it doesn't put Xavier in a good light, especially since he keeps appearing in "good" towns
then disappearing quickly and not talking to anyone. If Xavier is trying to put pressure
on the problem player, it so far isn't working as the bad statues aren't coming down,
trapping hasn't stopped, and the problem player has not stopped harassing other players.
- Following the scandal, Xavier did make an Insta post that he was cracking down on bad
players. However no player is aware of any player that got banned (including the one above).
Xavier did destroy part of Jiv's (Solo's) town Tea Town before Jiv deleted it, but that was only
because Jiv asked for a refund of gems that had been spent expanding the town. (It is rare
for Xavier to issue refunds and we don't know why Xavier decided to issue a refund in his case.)
- The Archives expressed his desire to delete his town, Leafy Kingdom, in August. Termite
is interested in copying a couple of structures from his town to preserve LK's memory. It
should also be noted that Leafy Kingdom was the venue of the famous Rigil vs. Disgust
Super Blue 9 match (for which video was taken and will eventually be posted on YT).
[UPDATE: The Archives is no longer deleting his town but instead participating MORE.]
BB News June 2024
- In a surprise move, Bagel decided to cancel his 11pm ET time slot, citing too much
drama in BB.
- Xavier released white hair and pink eyes in the BB store. But, he raised prices of
these item to 2,500 gems.
- Smokey McCloud made a new town by Diamond Falls which lasted a couple of weeks or so,
but now he has decided to "move on from BB" and delete the game and his subscription
permanently. We will miss him. He retains his YouTube channel.
- There was complete chaos on June 23rd with Bagel and MD bringing up the "Louis Issue"
again, getting other players to join their cause, and causing drama in Centaurus and
Diamond Falls. Termite was so upset he decided to take a one week break from BB, and
Rigil de-modded most of his players. Termite ended up doing the same, and he came back
on 7/28 rebranding his town "Diamond Forgivenss Falls" with 3 new rules: 1) No personal
attacks, 2) no rules attacks, 3) no intolerance of forgiveness. Termite wanted to regain
power over his own town, clarify his position, and ask that those who disagree (or can't
"agree to disagree") to simply visit a different town.
- Approximately 7/26, Bagel decided to delete his town and quit BB. However, Hidden used
one of her alts to claim the town and keep it going. Because of Bagel, Tessa also quit BB.
- Kawaii Sky also decided to quit BB but then quickly changed her mind, and has been
generally playing daily through July, enjoying the time with her friends.
BB News May 2024
- Tappy had defied the odds, changed his ways, and kept is town "Trap Sins" more than 30
days so he had a time slot for a short while. He also managed to grow his town to 19 plots
then was given gems to expand his town even more. Strangely, he decided to go rogue again,
deleting his town and account, changing his name, and reportedly scamming players again.
- Disgust (Kara) managed to go on to win the Super Blue 9 trophy. Rigil is making plans
for Super Blue 10, with a new "town sponsored" format, but the competition won't start until
this summer when he has more time.
- Mak, the head of the new CCT, changes her game name to Pariscity_Mayor. This is not to
be confused with Paris_Mayor, the mayor of France, a.k.a. Amelia, who quit BB and deleted
the original Paris but then decided to come back.
- Speaking of France, Xavier appeared briefly in France and said we can expect blue flowers,
but as of 8/13 they haven't shown up yet.
- The very large town Sydney deleted approx. 5/24.
- After 8 months, the town that was surrounding and trapping New Hampshire finally deleted,
freeing New Hampshire for expansion. Immediately, Bagel talked to Corey/Scally, the de facto
BB leader of town trapping, trying to get New Hampshire trapped again. Termite confronted
Bagel and they argued for over an hour. Termite finally decided to tolerate, but not approve,
of Bagel's philospohy. Termite decided players in BB will fall into one of three categories
with respect to the ongoing and growing "problem" of Town Trapping:
- Free For All: Favoring town trapping for any reason, including punishing players you don't
like. (This is Corey/Scally's position.)
- Joke: Town trapping is allowed as a joke, but not to be "mean." BB is just a "pixel game"
after all. If you get trapped, it's no big deal, you just wait and deal with it. It's just
a game. (This is Bagel's position.)
- Strongly Opposed: Town trapping is mean. Each player in BB should be given equal opportunity.
Even if a mayor is annoying and you don't like them, we don't have the right to use our financial
power to trap them, in effect making us the gods and police of BB with everyone else being forced
to agree with OUR morality. Mayors can make rules and promote safety in their OWN towns but don't
interfere with other towns, even nortoriously bad towns like "Rust." (This is Termite's position.)
BB time slots give the opportunity to form relationships and build trust. Obviously there is a limit
to that trust if someone supports town trapping, so I will list Bagel on this site but mark his time
slot as "TT" as you probably wouldn't want to trust Bagel with a trade or with sensitive emotional
issues.
BB News April 2024
- Another long-time town sadly deleted without warning: Furry Friends Cct.
- Rigil loses to Disgust (Kara) in the Super Blue 9 semifinals which has been described
as one of the most epic parkour matches ever. Termite took video which is expected to be
posted on Termite's and/or Rigil's YouTube channels later this summer.
- On the morning of April 10th Xavier releases a new dandilion flower block.
There have been some crashes, but Xavier has been fixing them both in the app and on
the server. So far, compatibility with super-old BB versions (e.g., iOS 10) is
maintained, albeit with a substitute black block with a flower on it.
- Bagel quits the CCT Board due to lack of time; Sad Soul replaces him. Bagel also
quits CCT, but his time slot is currently being maintained (for now) by Tessa and
other faithful attendees.
BB News March 2024
- Bereal finally deletes on 3/2. Bagel's new town is "Notion"; however after a week or two
after Bagel got enough gold he renamed it back to Bereal.
- Later in March, Link World (a 9? year old town) deletes without warning. The story is the
same as Bagel's: Link Boy broke his phone and was unable to recover his account. Unlike Bagel,
Link Boy will not make a new town and plans to play BB only occasionally.
- Because of the sad Link World deletion and also Termite's amazing underwater tunnel going
to nowhere, Kara created a new town in the same location "Four Link Clover" which will also
pay homage to Link World via the town name and one or more statues re-created from the original
Link World. Termite donated gems so Four Link Clover can connect to the tunnel. Kara has plans
to host a time slot after Termite's mandatory 30 day waiting period.
- Theresa and MD, not being able to find a convenient time in their busy schedules, decide
to discontinue their Time Slot.
- We thought Sincere Apologies (a.k.a. Nora) was gone forever, after she had quit BB and
deleted her Instagram account last fall, even though she had promised to be back after her
family vacation. However, on 3/9 she made a surprise reappearance, and apologized for leaving
and not saying goodbye. She may not play BB too much but probably will "check in" at times.
(Nora was also a key player in Super
Blue 6.)
- Super Blue 9 (parkour tournament) is expected to start later this month, being hosted
at Leafy Kingdom. Contact Rigil (mayor of Centaurus) if interested in joining - one slot
still open.
- The Rigil teasing continues with a new Insta account: @rigil.loves.disgust
BB News February 2024
- More "Co Woes": Jiv (Paris City) and Six Cells (Brain Cells) lose their jobs as comayors,
following disagrements. Six Cells started his own town "Blood Cells." Ironically both Blood
Cells and Brain Cells end up deleting within two weeks.
- Tappy ditches Term and moves to Red City, being enticed by a rabbit pet and being made co.
Termite responds with "WAGE": Week Against Greed and Envy, taking a break from BB for a week
except for his 10:30-11:00pm ET time slot only, and not displaying any expensive clothes,
pets, or mounts. Termite also vows to change time slot listing rules on his web site. Later,
Tappy promises to change his ways, and created a new town "Cinnamon Springs". He finally
created a thriving town with about 10 plots, didn't get surrounded by trolls, and got some
residents, then someone claimed he could be co at their town so he foolishly deleted his town.
Termite was disgusted that Tappy learned NOTHING from WAGE.
- Reaper figures out a way to glitch into Steph's tiny AFK lantern (a.k.a. UFO) at Bereal.
Termite makes a YouTube video about it,
which gets 76 views in the first 24 hours.
- Less than 24 hours after the video was published, Reaper, saying that she is tired of drama,
unexpectedly deletes her huge town on Feb. 13th.
We will miss her, and we will also miss her unique underground "lab" and labyrinth of tunnels.
We will also miss her time slot.
- Xavier apparently forgot that BB almost died last year from all of his "experiments", and
has started doing experiments again, such as changing the location of where you watch the video
to get a gem. We thought this meant that Xavier wouldn't be working on any "real" features, but
then at the end of the month he released purple eyes (2K gems).
- Angry Bird deleted "Birds And Elder", a town he had for over a month. In its place, Steph
encouraged him to make a new town "Mosquito Cat Town", capitalizing on Rigil's
viral Instagram meme video (370K+ views).
Steph also teased Rigil about the unexpected success of the video, creating "Mosquito Cat" BB
players with her alts, and Termite made a funny
YT edit about it.
- Following the Mosquito Cat teasing, Hadar next teased Rigil about his liking Disgust (from
the movie Inside Out). After several days of teasing, a BB player Disgustfrom_Insideout appeared
on 2/29 and Rigil was dragged to the altar and forced to marry! Termite recorded it and a couple
of days later released a YouTube video
of the wedding.
BB News January 2024
- Clock CCT disbands on Jan. 5th (due to disagreements in the Board), but Mak, Bagel and Bud form a new CCT.
All time slots are continuing, with some being part of CCT and some independent
- Mak replaces comayor Je Je with Jiv and overhauls Paris City spawn to new "mound" design with surrounding croc river and pond
- Tenjo's Among Us Hide & Seek video goes viral
- Smokey McCloud posts video of y=16 turbo fall discovery
- Hadar makes guest appearance at Centaurus for Hell's Kitchen Role Play (update: Hadar has decided to stay in BB now)
- Tappy and Vamp formed a new region at Bereal, continuing the Centaurus-inspired regions idea.
- However, on 1/31, Mister Bagel had to get a new phone and for some reason was not able to recover his
account! So Bereal is doomed to deletion and has been abandoned. Bagel's
new name is (temporarily) Mister Dino, and he plans to town hop and do work for hire (though he later
changed his mind and will focus on a new Bereal town). He will still remain on the
new CCT board. He will also still run his time slot until Bereal deletes. Tappy has moved his area
to Diamond Falls.

Maximum travel rate: 4m / sec (6m / sec on horse). Each square above = 200m = 50 seconds (33 sec. if horse)
Wilderness reset rate is approx. 35 minutes per square, vertically (example: If Loveland is 750Z and your town is at 2100Z, then that
is 1,350m difference, or 6.75 squares, which is 236 minutes. So your town's surrounding wilderness
would reset 4 hours after Loveland.)
Most recently reported Wilderness Reset:
Z=1767 at 2025-05-14 04:31 UTC (12:31am EDT) -->
|
(reset is supposed to be
consistent but drifts daily and sometimes completely changes after a server reboot).
(UPDATE: In 2024 the reset has been observed to be substantially more consistent than
in the past. It does shift occasionally but generally is stable for weeks, even
months on end.)
2023 BB news summary: BB almost died when Amelia decided to quit BB in December 2022 and deleted
the huge town of Paris City. I was almost ready to give up myself, but then I talked with sometimes
players and we had the idea of rebooting CCT as "Clock CCT" and having 30 minute "time slots" where
the mayor is guaranteed to be every day. This idea caught on and was a huge turning point in the game
to start bringing players back. Also Xavier stopped doing his dumb experiments and started fixing
things in BB (including, most importantly, restoring wilderness deleted town looting). He is actually
listening to players again, and also released cool new shop items: a hopping bunny pet, a hopping
frog pet, a crocodile mount, and a dino onesie outfit.
