Ben's Realm

A small, cosy old-school adventure. Chop trees, mine rocks, catch fish, cook on the fire and wander the world with your friends.

What you can do

Everything happens on a shared tick, so the world is the same for everyone in it.

🪓

Gather

Woodcutting, mining and fishing. Bigger trees and rocks need higher levels, and run out until they grow back.

🔥

Firemaking & cooking

Light a line of fires, cook your catch on them or on the range in town, and try not to burn it.

🏘️

Explore

A town, lakes, a river, forest, quarry and a village with houses you can walk into, doors and upstairs rooms.

💰

Bank, shop & trade

Keep things safe in the bank chest, buy and sell at the general store, and trade face to face with other players.

👥

Play together

Chat, whisper, add friends, wave and dance. Host a game for friends or join someone else's, on Windows or Mac.
