Merry Christmas everyone! It’s time to announce the first competition for 2023. We’re back in the water with Ocean! Fun fact – every single competition theme this year has been suggested by our players! This one was suggested by TYP3D.

Thanks to _pluto_9 for the Gate build for the month! It’s beautiful!

The January Comp world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the December gate which will close to building at 9pm on Saturday December 31st.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of January 1st, so get thinking! It’s also a new season, so here are the major prizes for Season 1, 2023!

• 2nd Prize: 3x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 10 Emerald Points

At the end of the season (June and December), the grand prizes are awarded to the final top three Emerald Points winners from across the 6 months of competition. These are the big ones! This season we’re giving away:
