Wool you believe this!?

Posted on 2025-08-23

Woolcome!

After a long pause, Octet is back with a brand new update! And this time, we’re going on vacation! The Wooliday Update brings fresh energy, new challenges, and fluffy fun to Yogurting.

What's new?

First, let’s take a look at the new episodes.

Night of the Wolves

The wolf pack is back, fiercer than ever. As Hyunran feels a strange power awaken within, secrets are revealed, and the fate of the flock hangs by a thread. Nothing will ever be the same.

Sheep Apetite

Mocha accidentally scatters her pages, and the sheep can’t resist—they start munching everything in sight!

Lost sheep

Mocha misplaces her glasses and gets lost, only to run into trouble when the Bears decide to cause chaos in the restroom.

Website Rework

Together with my good friend, we rebuilt the Octet website from scratch to provide up-to-date information, make it easier to make changes to the content in the future, and introduce a key feature that was missing from the project.

 

Server list

Finding the perfect server is now a breeze!

The new server browser allows you to locate any Octet-based Yogurting server and check the number of players in real time – so you always know where the community is gathering. Your next adventure is just a click away!

How to add my server to the list?

If you are an Octet server administrator and want to allow the community to find your server, follow these steps:

1. Make sure API is enabled in your server.

To enable the API on your server, edit the octet.cfg configuration file and set the enable-api value to true.

The default API port is 7000. However, you can set it to a different port by changing api-port to any value you choose.

Make sure that the API port is open on your server instance for incoming network traffic.

2. Start your Octet server and leave it running while adding the server to the list.

Then, click on “Add your server”.

4. Fill out the form.
The required fields are:
  • Name
  • Server IP (IPv4 only, you cannot enter a domain name)
  • API Port
  • Email address of the server administrator (you)
5. Check your inbox.
Click on the activation link that will be sent to the email address you provided.
6. We're here!
Congratulations! Your server should now be visible on the server list.
Now do your best to ensure players have a great time!

A huge shoutout to Mateusz for co-creating this refreshed website with me!

Plans for the (near) future

While putting this update together, I was already thinking about the next one. And I know what it will be. It’s going to be the biggest update we’ll release this year. At the same time, creating it should take me relatively little time because I already have a well-researched ground for the new features.
I can already reveal that among the new additions will be the early version of the Adminium administration tool, which will massively simplify server management, and a PvP game mode. After releasing this update, I’ll take a few days off, and then I’ll get back to work on adding these and other features with renewed enthusiasm.
This time, you won’t have to wait so long.

Spend the rest of your vacation in good spirits, stay safe, and have fun!
