“Man.. where has the time gone?” one might be asking themselves. We can hardly believe it ourself, the end of 2025 coming! It only feels like yesterday that we were recounting our 2024 Recap…

This year saw quite a bit happening. To mention some of the things – we put a pause on Minigame Mash and the Stream Team! With them though we’ve seen more mapmakers coming along to partake and even the introduction to our very own Map Drops.

Not only that, but we’ve been seeing all the Minecraft Drops that have came along, including the most recent one – Mounts of Mayhem.

Before spoiling everything that’s occurred though, let’s take a recap through all that 2025 has offered to us at StickyPiston.

Snapshot Releases – A New Version System AND Drop

So not only do we get to see the release of an ENTIRELY new Mounts of Mayhem Minecraft Drop, but we also get to see how Mojang will be handling their versions of Minecraft for the future!

It’s honestly crazy to think about how this will change not just around for the community, but for even us as server hosts! 😲

Just between you and me? I like the new versioning system.

Okay without further ado, here’s the Snapshot releases alongside the Mounts of Mayhem Drop!

StickyPiston Experiences – Where Did They Go?

It feels like it has almost been a while since we’ve seen the likes of Minigame Mash and the Stream Team to grace us with their presence. So what happened? Where did they go?

Minigame Mash

To be honest with everyone – we have been having trouble with hosting Minigame Mash! I know, it hurts to have to say it. But we miss the larger groups of people, we miss bringing in mapmakers, and we miss a lot of the activity that revolved around it.

So it’s clear changes have to be done, but we’re working on refining our side of things before we can host this again. Will it be coming back? Yes! We just don’t know when.

Just give us some time to focus on our hosting experience before we can make ourselves ready for this.

Stream Team

As you have probably noticed, we have stopped our Twitch streams! But why is that? We’ve not had a proper explanation so let us do so – we’re busy!

Some of the Stream Team members are people who work for StickyPiston. Happy, John, Hessel. So we’re busy trying to make sure StickyPiston is prim and proper and that requires our full attention. But it’s not just us!

We got others like MoseMajor, Khallador, and Captonium who are busy with their personal projects or real life. It’s hard to try and get streams in when you got constant goals happening around each corner!

So we, in the future, want to be able to make things uniform and easy. We also want to be able to help them connect to the audience who watch in, adding various engagements and activities to do while watching the stream!

In the end, we want to make it easier for the audience AND ourselves to engage more into what we’re doing. So these experiences that we provide? They’re not going anywhere! We’re just taking a break and putting more of a focus on improving not just them, but ourselves.

Minecraft Modpacks – Christmas Cheers

Let’s take a break to introduce you to something amazing – Christmas Modpacks! Recently, TheHappywheels1 has introduced players to 5 Winter-Ready modpacks to look at. Want to take a look at what is suggested?

Read about the 5 Festive Modpacks from our blog here!

Hytale – A New Monolith Has Grown

This year has been a mix of emotions from a new block game growing – Hytale. At first we’re getting news that.. it was being shut down! Even us at StickyPiston were surprised that it was going away! But low and behold a savior comes who originally started this project…

Simon of Hypixel! This man came back, made a large deal with Riot Games, and now has gotten Hytale on the ground running again. There’s been constant updates since he got his hands on it again and constantly getting us more and more hyped up for it again.

Now will we be hosting game servers for it? 🤔 Only time will tell…

Looking Into 2026

Ho-ho-hoo boy was that a lot to get through! Now, what’s in the works for 2026 you may be wondering? Well we got a lot of plans, not all of which we can share just yet here at StickyPiston.

Looking into the New Year, we are looking to give more control to our customers. This means additional Modpacks, additional Maps, and maybe even entirely new revamps! There’s going to be a lot going on that you should keep a watch out for.

We might also be bringing back things such as Minigame Mash as a potential weekly or monthly event. We also might come to make the Stream Team more unified, feeling more like a group rather than just individuals who happens to stream on the same channel. Keep a watch for us on StickyPiston.TV.

Thanks again from all of us here at StickyPiston Hosting! Have a great Christmas Holiday of 2025, and here’s to a bright future in 2026! 💡

Something that StickyPiston Hosting likes to do before Winter fully settles in is looking back at the year we’ve had. 📅

Now if only they would give us 1.22… 😅

Looking Into December 2025

Best be bringing your a-game Mapmakers! Christmas is just around the corner!

December’s looking to start bringing the season of jolly and holly for new Minecraft Maps and new Minecraft Modpacks! There’s a lot that this snow-filled month brings in outside of just the colder temperatures, so best keep a watch folks. 🎅

StickyPiston Hosting will provide what we can and even give a small insight as to how our 2025 has been as a whole. Play on and enjoy Minecrafters!

Minecraft Modpacks – Adventuring Forever

This month may not feature tons of horror Modpacks, but that doesn’t mean the adventures are stopping! Get to tackling the Summer Apocalypse, even if Summer has ended already. Or perhaps learn how to combat against one’s own soul destruction through Soulrend.

A think a surprise release though has to be Hexxit Revived. This look into Minecraft’s Modded Legacy just goes to show sometimes the original adventures are truly the best experienced! Play with Mo’ Creatures very own return while exploring the many Hexxit Additions making a return in here.

Minecraft Maps – Get through with Friends

Speaking of Adventures, many Minecraft Maps have you adventuring with friends this month it seems. Whether it’d be tackling the horrors of a mysterious Project B-45 or even finding out when She will return.

The real star has to be Veinbound for this month though. This map has blown players out of the water with its unique 2-player puzzle gimmicks, an intense atmosphere, and a final boss worth encountering. Best find a partner and get yourselves out of this mysterious jail.

Do note there is a singleplayer version if you wish to play. Just select the “Solo Ascent” version on the trial website.

Top Horror Content – Curated For YOU

And to end it off for this month, Minecraft Content related to Horror! That’s right, the Spooky Month has a new blog post based on Minecraft Modpacks ready for you to check out! If you wish to see the previous Spooky Modpacks of 2024 and Spooky Maps of 2024, check them out here! If you wish to see what’s for horror for maps this year though, best check out the trials website!

Looking Into November 2025

Screams and frights were just taken to the next level from those mannequins.

November’s looking to cool off and give us some chillier maps. After the release of The Copper Age, there’s going to be tons of new Minecraft Maps and maybe even new Minecraft Modpacks looking to add much more to the pile of content. ✨

StickyPiston Hosting will still keep up with all that’s here too! Doesn’t matter what the releases are, we’ll make sure to provide to content for you to keep enjoying!

Minecraft Modpacks – Dimensional Mania

You know last month we had to deal with the likes of an Apocalypse happening, but now we got modpacks that go across many different dimensions! Whether it’s exploring across Mobius in the SoniCraft Pack or exploring a new perspective in Guild Adventures.

All The Mods 10 – To The Sky blasts right in as a new Skyblock Modpack from the ATM Team! Traverse with classics like Ex Deorum while learning the secrets of the dimensions hidden inside. This modpack is sure to bring even newcomers right inside to this modded genre.

Minecraft Maps – A Simple Life Achieved

Meanwhile maps this month have decided to take a kick back and be a bit more realistic. The likes of Realistic Golf makes it easy to hit in bank shots and putt your balls right in. Or even find yourself taking a stroll for some rides inside of the Voxel Park.

Another simple way to enjoy life is through A Fox’s Life 2. This sequel improves upon the original by adding in more objectives and fun dialogue to read. Not to mention there’s just so many diamonds to grab, upgradeable abilities, and unlike the first game – multiple bosses to fight!

Looking Into October 2025

Keeping things cool and unwinding down for the Holidays.

October’s looking that it might be continuing the trend. Seems like The Copper Age is going to be giving us even more to look forward to! Given the spooky month is coming, I wonder if any new Minecraft Modpacks and Minecraft Maps will try to bring out the spooks better than last year. 👻

StickyPiston Hosting will be sure to give you whatever releases! Keep being yourself and enjoying what is brought into our sights!

Minecraft Modpacks – The Apocalypse and Bingo?

There seems to be a trendy theme recently involving Apocalyptic Endings during the recent modpack push. We got the likes of Fight or Blight alongside Liminal Industries bringing new ways to handle different scenarios outside of the Zombies. But the most popular thing recently is.. Bingo!?

Yet Another Bingo: Ultimate comes in as a huge surprise for everyone! Lot of people seem to enjoy how simple it is to utilize the lobby and customize what they want out of the game. And with features coming from multiple modes such as Lockout or even Inventory.. there’s a lot of replayability in here. No wonder it seems to be a fan favorite for the month!

Minecraft Maps – The Trial for Horror

On the topic of horror, it seems like a few more adventure maps have come out, including some interesting horror based journies. You got Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, a continuation into the long map series of FNAF in Minecraft. Then you also got Homeicide, a peculiar map about solving a Murder Mystery.

A think a surprise this month was Trial Champions though. At first it just seems like Super Smash Mobs coming back to the forefront, but in truth it’s much more! There’s a lot of classes to look at in here and different battlegrounds that make it a completely unique experience to see!

Looking Into September 2025

Bit more of a shorter month, but that’s alright. Nothing wrong with taking a break!

What should we expect for September though? Let’s hope that we get more news on our Fall Drop featuring the copper additions! Given that September is associated with harvests and farms, I wonder if any new Minecraft Modpacks and Minecraft Maps will feature different ways to involve farming. 👀

Doesn’t matter what’s provided as StickyPiston Hosting will be sure to give it to you! We’ll keep doing what we do so that way you can keep enjoying what’s given.

Phewy! It is getting pretty hot and we’re not even in the middle of summer yet! 💦 StickyPiston Hosting is here to make sure the family doesn’t get any heatstrokes.

This month has been hot, hot, hot! Heat waves have come all over and lots of sun having come all about. StickyPiston Hosting is able to keep your summer activities nice and cool with tons of Minecraft Maps to play, the offering of the newest Minecraft Snapshots, and even sequels to many Minecraft Modpacks.

Let’s hurry into July 2025 before we start to melt!

Minecraft Snapshots – The Great Copper Popper

Well we didn’t get an End Update as per usual. HOWEVER something else that’s magnificent has taken its place! Introducing the Copper Update!

Let’s go over some of the details for the next Snapshot. Not only are we getting The Copper Golem which can sort your chests for you, but we’re also getting new Copper Tools and Copper Gear! They serve as a mediator between stone and iron, in case you can’t find any iron.

Minecraft Modpacks – Sequels Abound

Many Modpack Sequels have started popping up this summer! First up we got ourselves Create Chronicles: The Endventure, a continuation and more relaxed version to its Bosses and Beyond modpack. Then we got MC Eternal 2, a sequel people have been waiting for almost a decade now! Holy cow! But I think most impressively we are seeing the return of FTB Skies.

FTB Skies 2 doesn’t just have the Happy Ghast backported to older Minecraft versions, but it allows you to pick one of many paths! One can use the power Crystalmancy to harness crystalline power to produce expensive materials. Another could cultivate Mystical Agriculture seeds to make these same materials. And then others could Prospect all that’s around them, taking it more slow and casual. There’s so much to explore that one might need to Order a Server to experience the best of it with friends.

Minecraft Maps – Abundance of New Maps

Speaking of many new things, quite a few authors have dropped their maps on the trials. TEHEK and LunaEclipse have dropped their maps such as Intervention, a spy-based PvP game, and Color Wars, a team based OITC styled game. There’s even Missile Wars Recrafted remaking the classic Missile Wars game to modern versions!

I think one of the highlights this month though has been Mowse and their CTM maps! You got maps like Uncomplete CTM, putting players into dismantling a monument instead of completing it, and Labyrinth: Antiquity! This map puts you into exploring the ancients and uncovering some dark truths. Best load up a trial and explore what might be hiding inside.

Summer Time Heat – Get a Minecraft Server!

AAAAHHH! THE HEAT IS TOO MUCH! SOMEONE COMFORT ME HERE!

Oh what’s that? StickyPiston is offering their services? Playing a numerous amount of modpacks, maps, and even the April Fools snapshots without any extra costs? Well what am I waiting for! Get me out of this heat and get me to ordering a Minecraft Server with StickyPiston!

The benefits for being with StickyPiston seem to be numerous. Quick and Instant Setups for any Minecraft Server I decide to install, detailed support on any potential issues, and a HUGE library of content are all waiting in here.

Looking Into August 2025

Phewy! An action packed month of heat and content has been coming in July!

Honestly, I’m hoping that August sees a just as much as July has gotten. We still should be getting new Minecraft Modpacks and plenty of Minecraft Maps going on, but Minecraft Snapshots are keeping us on our toes!

StickyPiston Hosting will still be providing the best we can though! Even with the massive amount of content, we’ll keep going on and giving it out to you guys as fast as possible.
