TL;DR: Nethercon is young and still growing. What exists right now: the article library, the 12 Bedtime in the Nether episodes, and the interactive /play hub. What we're working on: audio for the bedtime stories, more play features, and more guides. No dates promised.
Here's an honest map of where Nethercon is and where it's headed. No hype — just the plan we're actually working from.
What's here today
- A library of over 120 articles — survival guides, biome field guides, and resources for parents
- The 12 Bedtime in the Nether episodes — calm stories about Piglins, Striders, and the Forgetting, written for the half-hour before sleep
- An interactive /play hub: quiz, challenges, adventure, badges, and daily quests
- The Bestiary, the Achievements page, and the rest of the world layer
That's the honest inventory. Everything on that list works right now, in your browser, with no account.
What we're building next
Audio for the bedtime stories. The 12 bedtime episodes were written to be read aloud, and recorded versions are in the works — so kids can listen at lights-out without a screen.
More play features. Ideas on the bench: a two-player quiz race on the same screen (local only, no accounts), and a simple map-sketching tool for planning Nether bases. These aren't promises. They're the sketches we keep coming back to.
More guides. The library keeps growing — more intermediate and advanced content as readers level up.
What stays the same
- No targeted ads to children. Ever.
- No autoplay, no infinite scroll, no engagement traps.
- All play activities run locally in your browser — no accounts, no sign-ups.
- Every article reviewed by a human before publishing.
These aren't launch promises that quietly expire. They're permanent.

A closing thought
Nethercon exists to test a small idea: that the Nether can be a calm place to learn, and that a corner of the gaming internet can be something parents feel good about. The roadmap above is how we keep testing it.
Where it goes from here is partly our decision and partly yours.
Goodnight, traveler.
