The game was first released on Steam in September 2020 by Japanese developer Pocketpair. It has been updated throughout the year with numerous improvements and new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest summer update improved the graphics thanks to the implementation of new rendering tech and added the Creative Mode. Pocketpair is currently working towards making the map seamless. The game is currently available on Xbox One\/Xbox Series X|S as well, by the way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178626-header-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Various community efforts and discoveries have been reported since the initial launch, many of which were not envisioned by the developer themselves. In September 2020, a group of investigative players invented a vertical elevator by constructing conveyor belts.

In September of the same year, a fan-made VRM Mod was created, unofficially supporting the game with 3D avatars in VRM format. yoship, who worked on this mod, later joined Pocketpair. Later, <em>Craftopia<\/em> officially supported VRM by making the game compatible with VRoid Hub.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30d4\u30a2\u306eVR\u5bfe\u5fdc\u5b9f\u88c5\u3055\u308c\u3066\u307e\u3057\u305f\u30fb\u30fb\u30fb\u5b9f\u88c5\u3057\u3066\u306a\u3044\u306e\u306b\u30fb\u30fb\u30fb <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RgQTGoOou9\">https:\/\/t.co\/RgQTGoOou9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30dd\u30b1\u30c3\u30c8\u30da\u30a2\u516c\u5f0f &#8211; Craftopia\/\u30af\u30e9\u30d5\u30c8\u30d4\u30a2 (@PocketpairJapan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PocketpairJapan\/status\/1447477131198427139?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>VR support for <em>Craftopia<\/em> was implemented\u2026even though we didn\u2019t do it\u2026<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This \u201cx was implemented, even though we didn\u2019t do it\u201d syntax in the tweet above is used often by <em>Craftopia<\/em>\u2019s official Twitter account to praise fan-made content.
