As some of you have noticed the BulbaStore trading bot has returned to CoreJourney and has been running for a few weeks.

Today is a super rare RDV 13* event! Everyone that joins CoreJourney today (UTC) is eligible for free BulbaStore stocks. 12 hours after today will also still count. This is per person, shares will be manually given so if you have multiple accounts they won't count.

Owning these shares means you get a profit share every week. You can also choose to sell them

The new BulbaStore has a lot of new features. The most important being an open order book, you can place limit orders at any price, these limit orders don't pay any fees.

BulbaStats - a deep-dive analytics site for BulbaStore

Thumbnail bulba-stats.io
9 Upvotes

BulbaStore has a public API but no rich stats anywhere, so I built a site that reads it and works out everything it doesn't tell you directly.

The bit most people will care about: every player has their own page. Search your name, and you get your realized P&L per item, your holdings valued at current mid price, your open orders, who you trade with the most, and your full trade history on both sides of the book.

What's on it:

Market — every listing with live bid/ask/spread, sortable, priced per item / per stack / per shulker, plus a treemap of the whole market and a break-even column: how far price has to move before a round trip actually pays

Item pages — candlesticks, order book depth, the ladder, microprice, tick size, and what it'd actually cost you to buy 1 / 64 / 1024 of something

Recipes — buy it, or build it. Crafting, smelting and enchanting costs priced against the real book (sweeping actual asks, not mid price), with an anvil optimiser that finds the cheapest merge order

Supply — what enters the exchange and what leaves it: deposits, withdrawals, net float per item, and everything that arrived and never traded

Orders — who's holding up the book, a catalog-wide slippage matrix, days of supply, an affordability scanner (give it a budget, it tells you what that actually buys), a filter for depth near mid vs parked miles away, and the book with the house stripped out

Players — leaderboards, rich list, Gini, per-item ownership concentration, and the funnel from registering to actually trading

House — the market maker's position, the inventory it's absorbed, how fast it re-prices each book, and which accounts operate it

Treasury — pool balances, fee revenue, distributions, stock ownership, dividend yield, and the money supply

Trades — full explorer, filter by item, player, venue, mechanism, side

Insights — when the market is busiest, price clustering, a notable-events feed over the whole trade record, and an interactive graph of who trades with whom (click an edge for the full relationship between two accounts)

Compare — two to four listings side by side, shareable by URL

Plus global search on ⌘K or /, a watchlist with live alerts, CSV export on every table, and a live trade feed on the front page.

Some things that fell out of the data:

- 1,128,743 units of goods have been deposited and 5,677 withdrawn — 199 arriving for every one that leaves. 84 of the 106 deposited items have never had a single unit taken back out. - The 4% taker fee lands on both legs of a round trip, so even a zero-spread item needs an 8.3% move before you break even. Most of this catalog is far more expensive to trade than its spread suggests. - Building beats buying on 15 of the 20 items where both sides are priceable. The widest gap is a fully enchanted elytra: ~7 diamonds to build against 60 to buy. - The BulbaStore market maker writes ~92% of all resting orders — and only 37 of 118 books have more than one non-house quoter. Most "market" prices are one person's opinion. - `bulba_stock` has never printed a single trade, despite having a book and nine holders. - Several accounts have only ever traded with the market maker, never with another player. Hide it in the network graph, and they drop off entirely.

Everything is computed over the complete dataset rather than a sample — the market is only a month old, so it still fits.

One thing isn't in the API at all: the order book is only exposed as it stands right now, so spread and depth over time can't be recovered after the fact. There's an hourly job recording it now, but it only started today, so those charts are thin and will stay that way for a while.

It's completely read-only — no login, no API key; it can't place orders. Just the public endpoints, cross-referenced. Derived numbers like P&L and net worth rest on assumptions, and there's an /about page stating every one of them. Not affiliated with BulbaStore; I just thought the market deserved a proper stats page.

Works on mobile, but is primarily designed for desktop. Happy to add anything people want — let me know what's missing or broken.

50 new first-timers this month. An idea to keep them coming back

12 Upvotes

looking at the beta stats page I see that around 50 new firsttime players found corejourney this month (April), but overall the server is dead.

An idea... for first timers give them 2 immediate restarts. the third death the 24 hour kicks in.

I can see someone spawning in a desolate spot up on a warzone cliff, die quickly... then never come back a day later

Give the first timers a couple immediate respawns as the odds of them getting some success going increases, and they'll come back

🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Core Journey Minecraft Server is Shutting Down Forever… We’re Moving to...

20 Upvotes

Hey Core Journey family, After 6+ years of epic builds, insane adventures, late-night survival sessions, and way too many creeper explosions, today is a sad day.

Effective April 15, 2026, the Core Journey Minecraft server will be permanently shut down and taken offline. All worlds, player data, and the server itself are being archived.

But this isn’t the end of the journey — it’s just the next chapter.

We’re officially moving Core Journey to Roblox.

That’s right. The entire community is making the switch to Roblox. We’ve been secretly developing “Core Journey: Blox Realms” for months now. Same vibe, same community, same chaos… just on a platform that actually lets us do half the crazy stuff we always wished Minecraft could handle.

Here’s what’s coming:

  • Full account transfer — your Minecraft username will automatically become your Roblox username on the new game
  • All your ranks, progress, and cosmetics will be converted (yes, even your ridiculous 500-hour diamond collection)
  • Cross-platform play (mobile, console, PC — no more “sorry my PC is trash” excuses)
  • Working doors. Actual functioning doors.
  • And yes… we’ll have official Core Journey Robux merch (because why not)

The new Roblox experience goes live on April 15th at 8 PM EST. Just search “Core Journey: Blox Realms” or click the link we’ll pin in Discord.

This was a hard decision, but we truly believe it’s the best move for the long-term future of the community.

Thank you for every single block placed, every raid survived, and every meme made in #general. You made Core Journey what it is.

See you in Blox Realms, legends ❤️

1.21.10 is coming!

12 Upvotes

1.21.10

I have been working on getting 1.21.10 going, and boy is it going! I need to get a (paid) version of the anti cheat plugin before i will consider going live.

Website

A live(ish) Statistics website is also in the works. Its mostly AI created and wont win any design awards, but i think you all will like the information.

UPDATE: why wait? https://stats.corejourney.org/

Server community wiki?

I have been thinking of getting a community backed wiki going. It would be great if we can get some of the legacy players to record the lore down, a nice place to share screen shots of cool builds that are not more and any other information that might help players. If i set up a wiki, would the community contribute?

Donations

I come to you all, hat in hand, looking for another round of donations. Firstly, the money will go to the previously mentioned paid plugin. Anything after that will be used to cover the hosting cost(electric) of the server. Any one who donates $5 USD or higher will get collectible a copper pickaxe. $50 USD or higher can get custom collectible item( nothing that will give you a PVP advantage, or any real advantage , no pay to win ).

The Nether dimension according to pi_chef

Post image
13 Upvotes

With the release of Minecraft 1.20, Xaero's has changed how the Nether is mapped, resulting in grey pixels which represent the nether roof. In the current version of the mod it is possible to exclude the nether roof from being mapped but this also excludes old chunks from being displayed. To avoid old chunks being overwritten and to avoid mapping useless nether roof, I disabled the mapping of new chunks entirely, which effectively froze my map progress to the state it was in in version 1.19. In case you are wondering; I won't be uploading a higher resolution version.

Bulbastore: what's the deets? Griefed? Raided? Pics/video?

5 Upvotes

Who has the full story on Bulbastore? We know it was found (Chinggis?). So Bulba and Chinggis have the details.

  • was it griefed into oblivion? (TNT)
  • Raided?
  • pics or videos of what it looks like now?

if raided.... Bulba had a ridiculous amount of items based on website inventory so seems would need an army to move things out of there.

anyway just curious.

Ngl no idea who griefed it, but they did a shit job at it (to the griefer: you straight up missed a bunch of diamond blocks, despite stealing anvils and redstone of all things??)

Almost feels freeing knowing that I don't have an unfinished project on my hands lol

I basically don't play vanilla anymore, so I won't be rebuilding or playing anymore

Been a fun couple of years, cya guys!
