We’ve had a brilliant day in Albany last week, with heaps of people coming to Albany Library to say hi and see what the server is all about, plus play some great board games and get stuck into the Nintendo Switch!

Firstly, thank you so much to Albany Library for having us – we had a blast! We set everyone there a challenge – build something tropical in 30 minutes and we got some excellent entries. Well done to everyone who entered! We had builders that had never touched Java Edition before, and some more seasoned players. You all did really well! It took us a while to get our top three, but here they are.

If you see your build below, please get in touch with Albany Library and they’ll be able to connect you with your prizes! We’ve got a LEGO set for 1st prize (21319 Central Perk), and a $20 EB Games voucher for 2nd and 3rd.

In the top three we had two Albany locals new to the server, and one player that we’ve had for a long time – one of our first whitelisted actually! We really hope all the players we’ve had in the competition that are new will join the server really soon! It’ll be great to see them online.

1st Place: Albany Local

We loved the detail in this build – the cake and food options in the beach hut, the swimming hole, and the beaches on the sand!

2nd: Albany Local

The coral reef was so vibrant in this one, and the trees are really well built. Well done!

3rd: imaginemode

Imaginemode came up with a brilliantly detailed pineapple, that also included some honey blocks for the fruit inside, and a two block Spongebob Squarepants living inside! Super clever and the banners were a spot on detail. Well done imagine!

Again, thanks so much and a well done to all our entrants. If you met us at Albany Library on Friday, you can apply to join the server if you have a Java Edition account of your own! We’d really love to see you be a part of this awesome community.
