New in 1.7.0
A living mountain.
Poles that really push: carry them anywhere in your inventory to double-pole the flats, skate, plant through your turns and herringbone up gentle hills. The lifts carry other skiers, chair bars come down on the way up, everyone's breath shows on cold days, Ski Patrol's avalanche control booms on powder mornings, and new asphalt with a painted double yellow line makes roads that look real. On servers with a resort map you get a folding pocket trail map with a live you-are-here.
New in 1.5.0
Ski School and leaderboards.
Seven short lessons pay you through your first day and graduate you with a pin. /leaderboard ranks the mountain: most earned, most days, biggest trick, longest air, top speed. On the Snowmass server the champions are posted on a board in Base Village.
Also in 1.4
Ski Bucks worth chasing.
Earn for vertical, first chair, every day on the mountain and three daily challenges. Climb from Day Ticket to Founders' Circle over weeks of skiing to unlock branded, tuned pro-shop gear, numbered limited editions and Golden Ticket rarities. Type /skibucks to see your pass.
Push, pop, butter and land it.
Poles now really push you with rhythmic double-pole plants. Ollies are realistic knee-high hops, so you land on rails and boxes instead of flying over them, and big air comes from speed off the lip. Hold A or D while loading a jump to wind up a spin, time your pop at a lip for a Perfect pop, ride away from stomped landings with a speed boost, and press or roll your snowboard for butter tricks. Includes the protected drops from 1.2.9.
Ride or land on a park rail or box to grind. Keep momentum through sideways slides, rotate your stance with A/D, and load then release Space to pop off. On moving skis or a snowboard, hold left click + W for a nose press or left click + S for a tail press; add A/D for butter spins. Release left click to ride out regular or switch. Slides and butters score trick points, combos and Ski Bucks.
Press V for a remembered first-person helmet camera or chase view. The full-motion helmet view follows airborne spins and flips. Speed-responsive FOV, gentle banking, tuck movement and progressive wind rush bring the run closer. Carving now holds momentum through smoother turns, with quicker edge changes and push-offs. Press J for riding settings, including reduced motion and wind volume. Includes the lift-motion, mid-station and Ski Bucks fixes.
Linked carves carry more momentum, and powder floats sooner with less drag. Groomed runs refresh each Minecraft morning, then show tracked, chopped and skied-off snow as riders pass. New rideable park rails and boxes preserve glide. Newly generated Ski Mountains include progression parks and more varied snow-capped rock and pillow lines. The classic red box is also available as an optional building piece.
Everyone in a multiplayer world should use the same Fresh Tracks version.
