The forest sky no longer rests easy. With the arrival of the Meteor Shower Update in 99 Nights in the Forest (Volcanic Biome Part 3), the world is reshaped by fire and stone falling from the heavens. This update brings not only a dramatic spectacle but also new enemies, rare items, and deeper layers of survival to uncover. Below, we break down everything you need to know about this cosmic turn of events—from meteor craters and obsidian loot to new badges that will mark your progress.

What Does the Meteor Shower Update do in 99 Nights in the Forest?

From the moment the fiery skies ignite, meteors will rain down across the biomes in the game, no longer confined to the volcanic zones. Their impact leaves behind meteor craters, hotspots where danger and opportunity coexist. Within these craters lie fragments of cosmic ore, new mobs, and even rare chests that can redefine a player’s inventory.

New Entities: The Meteor Crab

Guarding the fallen stars is a new entity—the Meteor Crab. These creatures emerge near crash sites, protecting the precious shards embedded in the molten rock. Defeating them isn’t just survival—it’s necessity. Victors can collect Meteor Shards, a vital resource for crafting stronger equipment and unlocking cosmic potential.

New Items: Meteor Shards

The Meteor Shard is the core currency of this update. Found by mining meteors and slaying Meteor Crabs, these shards can be smelted, traded, or used in new recipes. They represent the literal fallout of the meteor storm—a chance to wield cosmic energy for your own survival.

Badges: Marks of Cosmic Progress

For explorers and completionists, the update introduces a new set of achievements tied to cosmic discovery:

  • Astrogeology Badge – For uncovering meteor impact sites.
  • Exogeology Badge – For mining meteor fragments and studying their material.
  • Seismology Badge – For surviving multiple meteor strikes in a single night.
  • Astrophysics Badge – For mastering the deeper lore of the meteors and their hidden mechanics.

These badges are more than cosmetic—they are proof of survival and understanding in a world shaken by fire from above.

Chests: The Obsidiron Treasure

Hidden within the largest craters are Obsidiron Chests—locked caches forged from obsidian and iron. Inside, players may find upgraded equipment, shards in greater quantity, or rare lore items that hint at the cosmic mysteries behind the falling stars. Only those brave enough to face the dangers of meteor craters will uncover them.

Admin Abuse Event During Meteor Shower Update: Chaos Beyond the Stars

Coinciding with the Meteor Shower is the Update Party, often referred to as the Admin Abuse Event. During this phase, the forest becomes a living experiment—admins spawning mobs, bosses, and loot unpredictably. What begins as chaos soon turns into opportunity: rare drops, surprise buffs, and even free gems await those who participate. It’s a short-lived event, but one that can tip the balance of progress dramatically.

How to Survive the Meteor Storm?

  • Stay Mobile: Meteors deal damage on impact, making movement essential.
  • Prepare Heat Resistance: Traditional survival strategies won’t protect you from overheating. Seek or craft gear to withstand the rising temperatures.
  • Hunt the Crabs: The Meteor Crab may be tough, but the shards it protects are indispensable.
  • Search for Craters Early: Crash sites won’t last forever; mining meteors quickly ensures you secure obsidian and shards before others.
