April Treasure Hunt!

From the start of the server, there has been a forbidden region north of Spawn walled off by a mysterious barrier:

The barrier has just disappeared, revealing a treasure hunt for the top 17 miners from the March Mining Madness event!

If you were in the top 17 miners (aegisjester – The_Real_Lego), visit the mail room at Spawn – you will find your treasure map leading you to your event reward! WARNING: your “X” will disappear when you get close to your site, so remember it well!

Happy digging!

March Mining Madness!

Our March event focuses on mining! Go figure! We are currently working on a new Wither Skeleton Farm in the Nether, which requires a HUGE excavation.

To get things moving along, we are offering up 4x mining XP for Netherrack for the month of March. If you want to get in on the action, break out your fanciest pickaxe, and head to the “Wither Dig” warp at spawn to get in on the action! This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the SkillSwap to build levels on other skills too!

For the duration of the event, the tab scoreboard will also keep a tally of how much Netherrack you’ve mined – so keep it up!

Event Details

Dates: March 2 – March 31 2019

Details: Earn 4x MCMMO mining XP from Netherrack. Digging at the Wither Farm excavation site is encouraged. You can find a warp to the Dig Site near the Skyblock warp at Spawn.

Valentine’s Event!

Love is in the air with the MinecraftLovers Valentine’s Event!

From Feb 12 – 28, all players get 4x alchemy XP – so get out those brewing stands and whip up some potions!

Also during this event, you can temporary craft new Love Potions!

Love Potion Details

Love Potions will grant the drinker Absorption, Health Boost, and Damage Resist. However, since you become smitten on drinking, you also get Weakness, unable to do much damage in combat!

To brew a Love Potion, follow these steps:

  • Start with a Water Bottle, and add Chorus Fruit to make Chorus Juice
  • Add a Fermented Spider Eye to brew up some Chorus Wine
  • Mix in a Rose Bush to get Rose Wine
  • Sprinkle in some Cocoa Seeds to get your final Love Potion

 

Keep in mind that with these special potions, the brewing stand won’t show the brewing progress (but it will still brew in the normal time). Happy mixing!

January/February Build Contest – Welcome Center!

The next build contest is an important one – a new Welcome Center!

Details

This is the first Build Contest with NO SIZE RESTRICTION – build as much as you see fit! We also have a bigger build window, lasting from January 4, 2019 through January 31. Voting will begin on February 1.

The winning build will be a new Welcome Center – this will be the first place new users will find themselves when logging in. The welcome center must include:

  • A “Spawn Area”, the first thing players see when signing in
  • An easy-to-find place for rules
  • An easy-to-find warp area, taking players back to the regular Spawn Town
  • An Armory, where other players can donate some starter food and gear
  • A “History Room”, which we will use to spell out some of the server history
  • This building must be floating in the air – it cannot touch the ground

All Builds Will Be Put To Use!

Every submission for this Build Contest will be put to use, so don’t worry about wasting time on a losing entry! While the winning entry will be for the new players, the runner-up entries will be used as part of the spawn areas in some other new dimensions we are adding to the server! This includes:

  • Skyblock Spawn Point
  • Ether Dimension (Skylands) Spawn area
  • …and others!

Rewards

The winning entry will have their build become the new Welcome Center, but also wins:

  • 2 shulker boxes of Gunpowder
  • A bow with Mending, Infinity, Power 5, Punch 2, Flame 1, Unbreaking 3, and Looting 3
  • A Diamond Axe with Sharpness 5, Efficiency 5, Looting 3, Unbreaking 3, and Mending
  • 500 MCMMO levels added to the skill of their choice

What fantastic rewards! Better get building!

December Build Contest – Build Contest Building!

The year is coming to an end, but there’s time for one last build contest!

For December, we are in desperate need for a new Build Contest Building!

Build Requirements

The size of the build contest will be 15×15, with an extra 5 blocks on each side available for landscaping. It can also be 15 blocks tall and 15 blocks high.

The building will be used for voting on build contests. This means it needs a place for us to put the Warps (you can decide if the warps will be signs, pressure plates, or buttons), and a place for people to put their signs for voting.

We also need a “Hall of Fame”, an area where we will feature builds that previously one (so needs more places for warps, and lots of them).

Voting begins on December 17.

Prizes

The winning builder will get:

  • 300 MCMMO levels for Alchemy
  • A Diamond Sword with Looting 5, Sharpness 5, Knockback 2, Fire Aspect 2, and Mending
  • 64 Ghast Tears
  • 10 Nautilus Shells
