More Villagers in Quake-Ravaged Biome to Receive 750 Emeralds

By Tom Cobblestone, Staff Reporter for The Redstone Herald
Quake Biome, Overworld – More tenants living in quake-damaged huts and lodges in the Shaky Biome will receive a one-time compensation of 750 emeralds, according to Secretary of Repairs Eddie Stoneforge.

This announcement follows the initial payouts granted to a select group of villagers back in 2022. The new scheme expands the eligibility zone, allowing more tenants to apply for aid to address delayed repairs caused by ongoing biome stabilization efforts. Villagers renting from private landlords who missed the first round of emerald disbursements can submit their claims starting from 21st of Embermonth through to the end of Frostmoon 2025.

A Step Toward Safer Living

"Every villager deserves a secure and well-maintained hut," stated Stoneforge. "Due to uncertainty about biome reinforcements, many repairs have been delayed. It's encouraging that more villagers can now access this compensation, whether they rent from private landlords or Guild Corporations."

The emeralds are intended to help resolve issues like cracked walls, damaged crafting stations, and unstable roofs—repairs often postponed due to fears of creeper explosions or further biome quakes.

Who Can Claim?

The compensation is available to villagers who resided in a social rental home as of 1st Glowstone 2021. These homes, managed by Village Corporations or private landlords, are defined as having base rents below the social emerald threshold.

Corporation Tenants: Emeralds will be distributed automatically by their Guild overseers.

Private Renters: Villagers must apply directly through the Northern Overworld Alliance (NOA) trading post portal.


Stoneforge assured that the expanded eligibility zone now covers more affected villagers and urged everyone to check their eligibility before the year ends.

Whether you’re crafting, mining, or farming, all villagers deserve a safe haven from biome instability,” he added.

Villagers Discover New Method to Speed Up Emerald Farming: MIT’s Latest Redstone Innovation

In a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize emerald trade routes across Minecraftia, researchers at the Minecraft Institute of Technology (MIT) have engineered a way to dramatically speed up emerald farming — and no, you won’t need to wait for geological timescales. The breakthrough comes from optimizing the natural processes within underground emerald veins. “The reaction is fundamentally over in a matter of hours,” said Professor Stone Abate, chief miner and redstone engineer on the project. “You don’t have to wait for chunks to load or ores to respawn. The process is so fast, it answers a key question: Is this even possible in Survival Mode? And the answer is absolutely yes.” The innovation, dubbed the "Nitrate Reduction Overdrive," involves using Fe2+ (that’s iron, for the rest of us) to accelerate the spawning of emerald blocks. "This is a significant breakthrough," said Geoffrey Gravel, a renowned geologist at the U.S. Mining Survey. ...

1,500 Iron Golems Deployed to Reinforce Southern Biome Border

By Lolita Gravelstone and Tara Cobblestone, Special Correspondents for The Redstone Herald The Nether Capitol – The Iron Guard Command is set to deploy up to 1,500 active-duty Iron Golems to fortify the southern border of the Overworld’s Desert Biome, officials announced on Emberday. The move comes as part of King Donald Stonewall’s executive orders aimed at curbing unauthorized Endermen teleportation and illegal Nether portal activations. Acting Defense Mage Robert Ironhelm is expected to finalize the deployment orders shortly. However, details regarding which Golem units or patrol squads will be assigned remain unclear. The final tally of reinforcements may change depending on the situation. Questions also linger over whether these golems will directly enforce biome regulations—a task rarely assigned to them in the kingdom’s history. Expanding the Patrol Network The incoming Iron Golems will join the 2,500 Guards and Warden patrol units already stationed along the desert ...
