Update 1.29.1: Big Beautiful Update

JUL 4 2025

Hello all,

We celebrate July 4th this year with a big beautiful content update for GunColony, containing new weapons and a new map, as well as the America Scenario!

NEW EARLY ACCESS WEAPON: HTI

In this update, we are adding the HTI, an American .50 BMG bolt-action sniper rifle. Model made by Trexar.

For the HTI, we are bringing back the Early Access Weapon format! The HTI will be unlocked by the early access quest for the weapon, letting players obtain it early before it is officially added. This format gives experienced players something to work towards in-game and helps us balance new weapons with player feedback before they are widely available.

To try out the HTI before unlocking it, it is available in the new America scenario! It also has a chance to appear in the Arms Race gamemode.

NEW SCENARIO WEAPON: M79

The M79 Grenade Launcher is a new Scenario-only weapon that has been added to the new America Scenario as well as the Jungle Scenario (Vietnam War scenario). It is currently identical in stats to the HK69A1.

NEW MAP: CONCRETE

We have added a new medium-sized map, Concrete, set at a manufacturing site. It is available in TDM, FFA, Mine-Spades (KOTH), and Defusal. Built by Mohorowe.

AMERICA SCENARIO

To properly celebrate Indepedence Day in these trying times, we have added the limited-time America Scenario where you can fight with American weapons on both sides, including the new HTI sniper rifle and M79 grenade launcher! This scenario has been completely re-made compared to a similar event we did a few years ago. Made in America, hell yeah!

The America Scenario is available on a variety of America-themed maps.

JULY 4TH SPAWN

The July 4th themed spawn has returned alongside the ability to obtain July 4th Fireworks via /kit tools!

MINECRAFT 1.21.7 SUPPORT

We have added support for Minecraft 1.21.7 clients. This update required no resource pack changes.

OTHER CHANGES

• The HTI is added to Arms Race
• The M79 is added to the Jungle Scenario on the Blue team, replacing HE Grenade. The RPG is added to the Red team, replacing the Decoy Grenade.
• Removed limited-time GroundWar and Nuketown playlists
• The time of day in PoolDaySummer is updated to noon since we are in the middle of summer now

KNOWN ISSUES

• Due to the 1.21.7 support update, there seems to be occasional issues with the scoreboard plugin not working properly for some players. We are waiting for a fix.
