Winter update - beware Ice Caves Biome

Scouts! 🖖

Wipe your boots before entering the base! There’s a lot of snow on them…❄️

Do you have your winter cap and gloves? 🧤
Good, you're gonna need them. Please tell us - what do you know about Ice Caves Biome?

With the new Winter Update we’re introducing the Winter Event to Lumencraft!

Random maps now generate with Ice Caves biome - the place where the ground below the surface is permanently frozen.

What’s more, the Desert Excavation adventure map is replaced with Tundra Excavation.
Play the map - it’s still a deadly trap and it does not matter if it’s covered by sand or snow.

Why are you building the snowman? ☃️
Well, you're right - I think that everyone needs some time off, especially when you're working in a “Swarm-unfriendly” environment.

Before you open that gate again (and before our warm tea becomes sorbet), read the whole changelog.
