After 11+ months of unexplained downtime, the dedicated servers for Cobalt W.A.S.D. have come back online. I wonder why they were down for so long... #MojangCobalt #CobaltWASD #OxeyeGameStudio

Hey @marc-irl.bsky.social, What do you think is the rarest piece of Minecon memorabilia in public hands? The Agent tee-shirts worn by the Cobalt reps at the Cobalt panel? Maybe the real-life painting of the Focus scroll from Scrolls Minecon Open? Maybe its something I haven't considered yet?

It has been six months since #MojangCobalt RC12 released. We may be in a bit of a slum for updates, but new content is always coming to the Workshop! There's a lot of stuff since I posted last, so I won't cover them all today. Here are some of the newest User-generated Content releases for Cobalt:

It's been a while, and I forgot to post about v270 GOLD RC11 and 12! RC11 adds new Survival shops and fixes multiple network syncing issues so more community maps & gamemodes can be played online. RC12 Fixes even more network sync issues, particularly with bullets, gyrojets, and ping compensation.

Well this certainly ain't the post I wanted to start out 2026 with, but a major account breach for Xbox/Microsoft accounts is currently going on within the #Minecraft community :( Several high-profile accounts, including DocM77 & Martyn (InTheLittleWood), have been compromised. Thread with issue 🧵

Happy Holidays, everyone! Cobalt v270 RC9 released yesterday; v270 is ever closer to complete. RC5-9 aim to improve the network online experience in Cobalt - particularly for international or high-ping players - and also fixes a number of game crashes. #MojangCobalr #OxeyeGameStudio

Cobalt V270 GOLD RC2 released yesterday with the following change log! Lots of bug fixes both in general, and from RC1. Password: everythingcanbreak #MojangCobalt #OxeyeGameStudio

Uploaded to Closed Beta:

v270 Gold RC2
- Moved max slot access later in lobby starting code to catch mod changes to increased slot counts,
- Added -opengl to expected command line arguments to suppress warning. (Only works in DaisyMoon however!),
- Fixed Ninja Station soft lock in Deathshroom Chapter: Target locks now unlock if touched if they never got any targets to begin with.,
- Mod Editor no longer crashes when fetched mod was unlisted, HOWEVER, it reverts to being private. Current Daisy UGC API does not support unlisted.,
- Team-strike shops no longer crash when shield belts are activated at end of round.,
(- probably) Fixed achievements Keeping Cautious & Survival Instinct: Moved survived round tracking to the post celebration event.,
- Fixed breakable power crashing when destroyed while equipped with stun shield.,
- (probably) Fixed crash related to cobalt/daisyMoon/tile.lua:5520: attempt to call method 'canBeQuadLit' (a nil value) - it was assumed to be a tile, but it technically could be other things.

Hey @anosou.com, I was rewatching some early Cobalt promotional videos, and I found this video which features a version of the Cobalt theme not found in the games files or on your Bandcamp. Do you still have a copy of this track? Are there any other official tracks that may have been lost to time?

If you play #CobaltWASD on Steam, did you know there's a secret re-balance update branch? On the Steam Library page, select Settings>Properties>Betas and enter the code "wowthatissomestuff" to access the secret beta. The beta has tweaked physics, reworked AI balance, and entirely new shops. Try it!

Cobalt's level editor is known for being... not very stable or easy to use. That's why Creeper-boop has spent hours dissecting Cobalt and making patches to improve usability! Most modern maps for Cobalt are made with these patches, which - (1 of 2) #MojangCobalt #CobaltWASD #OxeyeGameStudio

Bet on Cobalt was a crowd-controlled gambling simulator hosted by Mojang to promote Cobalt in the weeks leading up to its release. Viewers could bet on the outcome of Team Strike matches played exclusively by bots, and buy cosmetic enhancements for others to see in Twitch chat or on stream. (1 of 3)

To be clear: This would be disastrous for the thousands of folks that would lose their jobs, for QA as a discipline (it’s clear the people making these decisions don’t understand what quality stakeholders actually do), and ultimately for the games themselves that will suffer and fail.

@anosou.com Hi Anosou. I'm a big fan of the soundtrack you made for Oxeye Game Studio's "Cobalt." I'm not sure who's all involved in the licensing agreements, but will it ever see a release through streaming, digital stores like iTunes and Steam, or maybe even a physical release on CD?

Cover art for Cobalt; developed by Oxeye Game Studio and published by Mojang. Soundtrack by Anosou.
