Monolith

The monolith has long been a mysterious structure, added June 5th, 2023, that does nothing, except pulse red during the month of monolith (game equivalent of April). Players can spawn the monolith from the tab and use it however they like as it currently has no effect on the world. This is changing in the next update with the monolith getting not just one but multiple uses/powers.

The monolith was most directly featured in a youtube video posted on December 25 of 2024. In the video the monolith seems to be in some way linked to harps (another new mysterious building) and pusles much more vibrantly, occasionally ejecting a dna symbol as it pulses. Look below for more details on the video

The first direct announcement of the monolith getting a use was March 12th, 2025 in a steam post:
"On this day, the Monoliths will awaken with their first power — rewriting the very fabric of life around them. They can alter genes and species traits, sometimes granting consciousness where there was none, allowing new civilizations to emerge. In some cases, the Monoliths' power may trigger unexpected mutations."

Title Changes

• Video title changed on March 30th to "UPDATE 0.50: Monolith ALMOST Awakened. Steam Open Beta Starts April 1!"
• Video title changed on March 12th to "UPDATE 0.50: Monolith Awakens. Steam Open Beta Starts April 1!"
  • Now links to steam post in description
• Video title changed on February 17th to "Monolith.ono". Added info about exact video time (20:25.480)
• Video title changed on March 1st to "Monolith.one"

Notes & Speculation

• The highlighted walls refer to version "0.50" which will be the version number the update brings the game to (worldbox is currently on version .22).
• More visuals of these new biomes (most of these names are speculative)
  • Onion/Garlic (appears 7 times)
  • Lucky (7)
  • Maple (8)
  • Birch (8)
  • Flower (8)
  • Paradox (8)
  • Rockland (8)
  • Plasma (7)
• "Plasma" has been theorized as the name for the new purple biome as its trees have similar colors to the projectiles of alien blasters. The alien drawing prints in the background of the video support this theory but there has been no confirmation of this being related.
• Video Length 20:25.480 (most likely symbolizing the year 2025)
  • The point .48 when counted as days lines up almost perfectly with the title change of the video
  • Jan 1st + 48 days = Feb 18th (video title changed Feb 17th)
• Video Description “q1m” (possibly re-informing the release date as Q1 of 2025, but has been speculated to mean several different things)
• Three transparent menus appear when the video shifts to the plasma biome at 4:55, 10:05, and 17:50 (no menu appears at the other appearances of the plasma biome)
  • Fan recreation of these menus: https://www.reddit.com/r/Worldbox/comments/1hmdlik/recreated_the_transparent_menus_and_images_that/
• If the video continued for 1-2 more seconds and followed the pattern of biomes another instance of the plasma biome would be displayed (possibly showing another transparent menu)
• When looking at the creatures fighting you may notice some have different colors than normal like mages having gray clothes or other units appearing smaller than normal (looking like a possible child version).
• Creatures seen:

Tables

• Loops can be arranged in any order. Two variations of the biome loop are shown:
  • "Plasma End Order" ends with the plasma biome. This was chosen to be shown because this is how the video ends and is when the transparent menus are shown
  • "Appearance Order" works based off where the loop first started. The candy biome (2nd biome shown in the video) is where the loop starts
• New biomes are displayed in bolded-italics to help differentiate them in the "Biome Loop" Table
• Ages change when biomes change. The video ends with age loop at the second iteration of the age of hope. It is sorted by first appearance
