That’s right, LibraryCraft now officially has a sister server! A week or so ago we announced that a new server was being worked on, specifically for 18+ players in WA playing Hytale. Well, it’s ready to go!
All the information you need to know is on the LibraryTale page of this website! It’ll also be visible at the top menu. That page will have a separate form to fill out for joining, with Hytale specific information.
LibraryTale is a whitelisted and age verified server, so we do ask for ID to verify that you’re over 18. Why? Because adults need a safe space to game too!
If you have any questions, reach out to us in an email!
That’s right folks, next week we’ll be doing a few changes! The main one is that we’ll be updating to version 1.21.8! We can’t go any higher than that as we’re still waiting on other core plugins to be updated, but 1.21.8 is ready.
From Tuesday March 3rd the server will be in maintenance mode while we update the servers and do some testing. We’re unsure how long it will take, but it might be a few days. It’s important to note that the current Survival world will NOT be changing! It’ll just be a minor version update, but it does mean that we’ll have Happy Ghasts to play with!
An important point of difference is that you won’t be able to find them in the Nether naturally. Rather you’ll have to craft them manually.
Another thing we’ll be doing is a pretty big overhaul of the minigames.
KitPVP has been fun for a while, but it’s also been problematic of late, and some aspects of it just weren’t suited to the maps we had, or what our players wanted, so we’ve decided to change it up for two different PVP options!
We’ll put in a Duels option for the 1 on 1 PVP fans featuring completely different kits and arenas, plus the return of Hunger Games! HG was a plugin we had at the very beginning of LibaryCraft, and it’s back in development, which is very exciting. With Hunger Games you’ll need to explore a brand new map for chests which contain loot. Then it’s last player standing!
As of right now we’ve turned off the KitPVP maps and have updated the PVP area in the Minigames Lobby. Meowlicky, _Heebyy and CopperJay have changed the build to suit our new setup, so you can get an idea of what is coming!
We’ll also be completely rebuilding the Parkour course as the new build got in the way. New things! Hooray!
If you have any questions, let us know! We’re pretty excited about these changes – we’ve been working very hard in the background to get it all lined up. More information will be out soon on the new PVP modes.
It’s almost March! We’re flying through each month so it’s time for a new competition theme. The third theme for 2026 is a suggestion from _Heebyy. In March, we want to see you all build to the theme of History. Choose a moment in history that you think will translate well to being built in Minecraft and just do your best!
Remember, each month counts in terms of points, so do your best, and make sure you finish your build! Votes tend to go towards builds that are completed.
JohnsanGeezo will be away this weekend, so the February map will still be available until Monday afternoon.
The March Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the February gate at 5pm on Monday March 2nd.
Season 1, 2026 Prizes
As you know, each month we give away the following prizes to regular players:
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!
The Head Games is over for another year! It was a shorter run this year, but still quite successful, with 14 players registering! We got a whopping 1,423 heads submitted during the course of the competition, with one player submitting 44% of the entire heads submitted alone! But one question remains – after a total of 1,225.5 points awarded, who gets the prizes and what were they?
Note that all of the prizes were in block form – not single ingots, so there was a lot that was donated!
The final leaderboard is viewable in game, but the top three were:
3rd: CopperJay – 101.5 pts
Copper gets to take home:
1736x Iron
136x Copper
24x Diamond
28x Gold
12x Coal
2nd: Parkour_ninja77 – 113 pts
Parkour’s prizes were:
1745x Iron
202x Copper
47x Diamond
43x Gold
14x Coal
And the winner….
1st: Meowlicky – 636 pts
Meow gets a massive haul of prizes, taking home:
1761x Iron
234x Copper
90x Diamond
69x Gold
21x Coal
1x Netherite
That’s a lot of loot! Well done to everyone for competing and submitting heads. We’ll be back with a new activity soon!
We’re very excited to announce that we’re working on something new! As you all know when players turn 18, they’re either invited to join the moderator team (on the rare chance), or they’re removed from the server. We’ve often felt that this was a shame to see them go, especially if they were active on the server, so we’ve decided to do something about it!
As some of you may know, over the last few weeks, Hytale was released in early access. For those that aren’t aware, Hytale was developed by Hypixel Studios, the team behind Hypixel, one of the biggest Minecraft servers in the world. It’s got many similarities to Minecraft, but also a lot of differences! There’s building, mining, exploration, plenty of mobs, farming, and great combat.
Ok, on to the announcement! We’re in the process of setting up a brand new server called LibraryTale! This server has replaced the LC Modded server and will be running, you guessed it, Hytale! It’ll also be only for 18+ players in Western Australia.
It’s not ready yet, so we aren’t taking whitelist applications for it yet, so stay tuned.
So how do people get access?
If a LibraryCraft player has aged out of the server, they’ll automatically have the option to be whitelisted in the LibraryTale server. If someone is keen and they’re of age, they’ll just need to provide us with their Hytale username!
For everyone else 18+, we’ll be getting a separate page on the website just for LibraryTale, which will have a separate join form. This is still in development, but we will be asking for full name and age verification. We’ll announce when the page is ready soon! We’ve still got some testing to do.
Will LibraryTale have a website?
No. To save costs, there will be a LibraryTale page within this website. The LibraryCraft website will only be used for communications about the LibraryCraft server.
All communications about LibraryTale will instead be done through a new, separate LibraryTale Discord, accessible by whitelisted LibraryTale players only.
It’s also important to note that Hytale is still in early access, so there’s bound to be changes that happen to LibraryTale from time to time, but we’ll make sure they’re discussed in the LibraryTale Discord.
That’s it! More information will come as we know it. For now we’ll be continuing our testing and setup, but stay tuned! If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.
We’re a bit over a month into 2026, so it’s time to announce the first results for a 2026 Monthly Competition! We had you guys building Aussie Landmarks this month, and we had some really great entries!
Let’s take a look at the results!
1st Place: legocraftmlb
Formerly known as SUNNYBOY2013, legocraftmlb has gone with all the detail in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, even going microscale and adding some of the surrounding harbour buildings, Opera House, and traffic on the bridge itself! This was brilliant to explore. A massive well done!
2nd Place: RoseBlossom_
Rose went with the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia! Not just the lighthouse, but some very nicely manicured gardens around it. Well done Rose!
3rd Place: MarshyMS
Relatively new to LibraryCraft, Marshy went with a Perth icon, the Belltower! This one has a difficult shape, but it’s been really well represented, and even has some working bells inside! Well done Marshy!
Honourable Mentions
We had three entries that got honourable mentions this time around!
WingedPhoenix – The Big Peanut, Kingaroy QLD
WoodyToucan – Wave Rock, Hyden WA
legofanatic212 – Busselton Jetty, Busselton WA

In Game Prize Collection
The 121Survival Competition Prize Collection Point is housed in the cave under 121NewSpawn.
It will have protected chests for each player that won a prize – podium OR honourable mention. A new feature in this area are the lights. The light will be lit if you have a prize to collect. When you collect your prize, please turn the light off!
Please make sure you collect your items quickly, or you will risk losing them!
School holidays are almost over and with February comes a whole new school year, but never fear! We’ve got a new competition theme for you! New year, new season of competition! Our second theme for 2026 is another one from yanman! In February, we’re asking you to build to the theme of Coastal. We’ve got a lot of coastline in Western Australia, with plenty of diversity, so we’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Remember, each month counts in terms of points, so do your best, and make sure you finish your build! Votes tend to go towards builds that are completed.
The February Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the January gate at 9pm on Saturday January 31st. The February competition will open for building on February 1st.
Season 1, 2026 Prizes
As you know, each month we give away the following prizes to regular players:
Each month the Emerald Points are tallied up and can be seen in the Emerald Hall on the Survival Lobby world.

Something you may find in your travels of 121NewSurvival is the expansive LibraryCraft Country Club. Nestled in the hills of a plains biome is a sprawling Spanish themed estate surrounded by fields and trees. You’ll also be able to reach it from the new golf themed ship soon to be docked at 121NewSpawn! The Country Club will play host to Enderpearl Golf, a new vanilla feature coming to LibraryCraft! It’s almost ready, but we thought we’d better tell you about it now, as you can’t really miss the Country Club! The original build is by Kaizen87, but we’ve modified it to suit our needs, as well as some heavy terraforming.
There are going to be a few options. The Collaborative Survival Course will take you across the world, visiting other players’ bases and central locations. This is a course created by everyone! Each player is allowed to have ONE hole at their base. They’ll be connected by custom portals and start at the Country Club.
The other options are the smaller, standalone 9 hole custom courses. These are able to be designed by a small group of players (minimum 3 players). There are 8 custom courses available for purchase to build.
There’s also going to be a couple of example courses, with 3 – 4 holes. One will be to the northwest of the Country Club, to test out your enderpearl skills, and one will be in the ocean by 121NewSpawn, to test out the Riptide I tridents (your drivers).
Hole Building
If you want to build a hole at your base, or a custom 9 hole course, purchase a corresponding ticket at the Course Creation Shop within the Country Club, then get in touch with John or one of the mods to collect your kit. Each kit will contain everything you need to create a teebox and a hole, to our specifications. There’s lots of information at the shop on specifics.
Playing and Equipment Hire
In order to play, visit the Pro Shop to hire some equipment. Your scores won’t count if you do not hire the equipment first! A diamond will get you a shulker full of the gear you need – a Riptide I trident, some enderpearls, some feather falling boots, a ball marker, and a book and quill for noting down your scores.
These items (and their shulker) MUST be returned to the Pro Shop after you have finished playing! Penalties will apply for people who steal from the Pro Shop. If you don’t return them, your scores won’t be logged! We’ll have leaderboards in the Country Club for each course.
To play, put on the boots, place your enderpearls in your offhand, and the trident in your main hand. Stand in water and hold right click to charge the trident. Release right click to release the trident and propel yourself into the air. Just after releasing the trident, right click again to launch the enderpearl.
If there’s any questions, let us know! As soon as it’s ready, an announcement will be made in game and in Discord. Stay tuned!
