Did I hear someone say "building contest when"? I'm pretty sure I heard someone say "building contest when". So, building contest NOW! Our resident YouTuber xKamachi is inviting you to build shops at his location, with the top prize being a $10 Amazon gift card. Read on for the full details!
First, here is the full video with the story introduction, followed by the directions and contest details:
Rules
Your building goal is to claim a lot then create a shop from any time period.
As usual, select a plot, put a sign with your name on it to claim the spot, and get building! You own your plot from bedrock to sky limit; make sure not to interfere with the nearby players.
As an incentive to get you to start early, four larger plots are available on a first come, first serve basis. The rest all have a standard 20x20 building area.
The building period starts NOW and lasts until the end of 15 March.
Location
The contest area is at xKamachi's place, directly accessible from the overworld Western Line.
Alternatively, you can access the West Nether rail, stop at Salad Facts (the second substation), go down two floors and follow the Kamachi Tawa line. Exit the building, turn right, and you're there!
Prizes
Three winners will be selected. The top winner will get a $10 Amazon giftcard while all three get a selection of items, including armor, banners, building blocks and more. I invite you to check the video description for the full list!
Judging will happen soon after the building period has closed.
Good luck to everyone!
News
February 2021
"Anyone in Requiem?" "Is anyone in Asphodel?"
These are common questions that you might see (or ask!) during Events Nights. For your convenience, you can now try the new /anyone
command! It will tell you the amount of players present in each science region and challenge area. This updates in real-time and gives you a chance to check before you travel to your destination.
Note that, all of the regions being located in Laurasia, this command will only work when used on that server.
Our official resource pack has been updated with a small quality-of-life change: items with high enchantments and potion levels will now display their power level in roman numerals like all others instead of falling back to decimal numbers. Go download the new version now!
This trick only works for Java players, but the display for Bedrock players looks better by default already, so you're set.
Thanks to Twixxi for the improvement and Sphenicus for the pack update!
Maybe you haven't seen it yet, but our YouTube channel has picked up in activity! Kamachi has been creating new content to breathe some life in our channel, with four video being added so far. Go check out our channel to see the latest additions, with more to come! If you've got suggestions on which builds would be worth a showcase, Kamachi is looking for your input!
Meanwhile, on the Instagram front, I'm now making sure that each of our news post has an update posted on our page at the same time. This can be a good way to know that something changed, and since many of our newer players found their way here from Instagram and Facebook, consider giving that a follow!
Remember that there are plenty of other ways to keep up with our news. There's the main website, obviously; the forums; the news feed; our Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter feeds; and the email newsletter every month. Plus, if an event gets scheduled, it gets added to our Steam group so you automatically get a reminder after you join!
A new month means new goals and challenges! We've got one beefy update to go through, including the brand new addition of Guilds, new Horsemen features and a new challenge, so keep on reading!
