Development Blog - June 2025
Hello everybody!
Welcome to our second Development Blog of 2025! As the first six months of the year come to a close, we wanted to provide an update on what has already been a busy year of 1.18 work!
Our focus this year has primarily been on continuing our server upgrade work, including staff testing, and as such we will be dedicating this blog solely to recapping our 1.18 efforts. As will be explored in this blog, we turned away from getting our core features working in 1.18 to branching out to the other plugins and systems that help make Potterworld what Potterworld is. This includes ensuring Housing, Magic, MythicMobs, and all our quests, shops, and vaults work on 1.18.
February 2025 Development Blog
In this year’s first blog, we discussed our 2024 achievements, but also announced our plans of upgrading Potterworld to 1.18 instead of 1.16, and the factors behind this decision!
Don't forget you can also check out all of our past Developments Blogs in the Blog Posts folder here!
For this blog, we’ll be covering these topics:
1.18 Plugin Process
1.18 Config Migrations
1.18 Database Migrations
1.18 Word Migration
The Future
Let's go!

Game Design Blog - Introducing The Directium Update
Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since we last talked. It has been longer than we had initially anticipated, and we truly apologize. As announced in our last blog post here, we told you all that the Potterworld 2.0 plan that had been previously presented was not going to be moving forward. Since last year, we’ve taken a careful look at plans for Potterworld 2.0 and completely redeveloped them with new ideas and systems in mind, taking into account player feedback and our experience as Game Designers, to ensure that the next update we create can work as a new foundation for Potterworld moving forward. We’re extremely eager to share more details, but perhaps “Potterworld 2.0 feels too vague for what it is that we’ll be doing moving forward. That’s why today we’re happy to announce the next update and chapter for Potterworld:
The Directium Update
Continuing our tradition of naming updates after spells, we chose Directium as it represents a guiding arrow, a change in direction, and a new path forward. We want to make sure we address many of the concerns that we’ve heard from our playerbase time and time again, and to ensure this new version of Potterworld lives up to those expectations.What is The Directium Update?
The Directium Update is our core gameplay update that will refresh all of our main features within the server, including leveling, professions, experience, mobs, magic, and quests. We’ve taken a...WizNewsletter - May 2025
Created in October of 2020, the WizNewsletter serves as a way for students and staff to recap on the month's updates. WizNetworkers spend countless hours researching, writing, editing, and implementing each section so that the happenings of the wizarding world do not go unnoticed. Let’s get into the news from the past month!
