For May we’re doing a theme we’ve not done before, but have high hopes for – Steampunk! With all the copper in the game, it should be a lot of fun to see what is built. For those of you that aren’t sure of what steampunk is, it combines a bit of a historical setting with steam powered machinery instead of modern technology. Think copper, gears, steam engines etc.
Extra Builder Rank Requirement
One of the requests this year from the Builder team is to give them a bit more of a challenge, so each month we’ll also be adding in an extra requirement, just for the Builder rank players! Regular competition players do not need to do this.
Include some redstone. It has to do something! It can’t just be pointless.

Remember, each month counts in terms of points, plus there’s the Builder Rank Competition too – the GOLD bordered plots are for Builders only – do not claim these if you are not a builder. If you do, we will clear them without warning, regardless of whether there’s builds on it or not.
The May Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the April gate which will close to building at 9pm on Wednesday April 30th.
The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of May 1st, so get thinking about your build!
Prizes will be awarded in 121Survival.
Season 1, 2025 Prizes
As you know, each month we give away the following prizes to regular players:
- 1st Prize: 4x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 15 Emerald Points
- 2nd Prize: 3x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 10 Emerald Points
- 3rd Prize: 2x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 5 Emerald Points
- Honourable mention (1 vote): 1 Emerald Point

Each month the Emerald Points are tallied up and can be seen in the Emerald Hall on the Survival Lobby world.
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. This season we’re giving away:
- 1st Prize: $250 worth of LEGO! It’ll be in the form of a LEGO store voucher, sent online. Nice and easy!
- 2nd Prize: $100 JB HiFi Voucher
- 3rd Prize: $50 JB HiFi Voucher
The parallel Builders Creative Competition will be judged at the same time, with the overall winner each season getting a $50 JB HiFi voucher.
