DDV Wonderland Whimsy update patch notes (April 23)
The Wonderland Whimsy update mainly focuses on adding an Alice in Wonderland Realm, two new characters, an Uncrafting system, and a fresh Star Path event. There are plenty of other exciting features packed into this massive update, though, so here’s a full breakdown.
Alice in Wonderland Realm
Venture into a whole new world of whimsy and mystery with the arrival of the Alice in Wonderland Realm. This unlockable region allows you to explore iconic locations around Wonderland, including Tulgey Wood forest, a mad tea party, and the Queen of Hearts’ garden.
Alice and the Cheshire Cat
Straight from Wonderland, two new characters are joining the valley. Alice and the Cheshire Cat are unlockable companions complete with friendship quests and unique rewards. You can get Alice from the Realm following the same process as usual, which is tackling quests after unlocking this region, but the Cheshire Cat is a bit more complex. He’s only obtainable after tackling some weekly mystery tasks.
Uncrafting
Befriending the Cheshire Cat will allow you to unlock the powerful new gameplay mechanic with the Uncrafting Machine. This device allows you to convert items you previously crafted back into the materials you used to make them for a small Dreamlight cost.
Star Wars items
For the first time ever, content from a galaxy far, far away is arriving in DDV with some Star Wars items. This includes a Jedi costume, a lightsaber accessory, an R2-D2 companion, and a house. All of these items are Premium Shop content, so if you don’t want any Star Wars content in your valley, you can still easily avoid it.
Garden of Whimsy Star Path
The Garden of Whimsy Star Path event is packed with lots of fresh items you can unlock throughout this event. These items are inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Disney fairies, and spring, so there are plenty of vibrant and unique assets to unlock.
New and returning events
The Cheshire Cat Chaos event will debut later on in this update. Unlike most other features, it won’t be available to tackle right away. Instead, it will be released sometime before the next update to give you something to do while you wait for more content featured in the 2025 roadmap to arrive. There’s not much known about this event yet beyond it having some “playful rewards.”
The Dreamlight Parks Fest event is also returning with this update. It first debuted in 2024 and focuses on finding various colored buttons around the valley to unlock special popcorn buckets and other prizes.
Improvements
The Wonderland Whimsy update has a collection of gameplay improvements to enhance your experience. All of the improvements included in this update are as follows.
- Photo Mode has two new poses, new toggles that allow you to better customize your shot, sliders to adjust effects, and more.
- Small and medium crafted chests can now be upgraded to unlock more storage.
- There’s now more flexibility for renovating your home thanks to new odd-number layouts.
