May Prehistoric Results

Another competition round done, and it was another popular one! This was a lot of fun to judge. You’re all so creative in your dino building! It’s been yet again a tough one to judge, and we had a few battles for the podium positions. So without any further ado, it’s time to announce the results for the May Monthly Competition!

Let’s take a look at the results!

1st Place: Lellmon

Lellmon has scored his first ever win with a nicely detailed riverside build, full of a nice variety of dinosaurs. We particularly like the big t-rex style one turning his head! Well done Lell!

2nd Place: ALTabascoRex

Rex also went with a whole heap of dinosaurs near some water, but with some differences! The mosasaur was a very nice inclusion – John’s favourite dinosaur!

3rd Place: EnderKitty543

Rather than living dinosaurs, EnderKitty went the other way and opted for a fossil using end stone bricks. This was a very neat build! Great work Ender!

Honourable Mentions

This month we had five honourable mentions!

Player Emerald Points Competition

Congratulations to all our winners and entries!


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!

The LibraryCraft Hermitcraft Scavenger Hunt is back for 2026!

Something that was a lot of fun back in 2024 was the LibraryCraft Hermitcraft Scavenger Hunt. Nine builds from Hermitcraft Season 9 were placed all over the Survival map for players to find. It was exciting to see incredible builds from the Hermits in our own server!

Well, we’ve been working hard at it, and it’s coming back in 2026! There were some amazing builds in Hermitcraft Season 10, and many of us are Hermitcraft fans, so we thought we’d do it again.

For those of you that don’t know what Hermitcraft is, it’s a private server created for and by YouTube content creators and Twitch streamers. The hermits create massive and intricate builds and have a heap of fun together, all while creating content for their channels.

Like last time, we’ve decided to place a few of the builds around the 121NewSurvival Map for you to find and explore, seen in the partial images above. This time there’s a change, to make it easier for everyone to get involved. This time around there’s no clues and codes to decipher! Like last time though, it all starts in the brand new Map Room, seen below. You may recognise the Map Room as the Shrine to Sal, made by Grian.

To get there, use the HermitCraft airship currently docked (hovering!) at 121NewSpawn!

The big map in the centre of the room shows the rough locations of the ten locations to find. Yep, we’ve added a couple more this time! We’ll give you the first one for free, as it’s a bit tricky for players without elytra to access.

Inside the Map Room will be a special loot chest that behaves a bit like a Daily chest. These will also be found somewhere in each Hermitcraft build. These special loot chests will allow each player to open the chest once only. You won’t be able to collect items for friends.

Each location will have a loot chest with a unique item for that location. Your task is to find the chest at each location and collect one of each item. The Map Room chest will give you a special shulker box for all your special items! We will be able to verify that each player has interacted with each loot chest.

To finish the scavenger hunt, add your name to the end of the shulker box with the 10 unique items and drop it in the chest on the Airship at 121NewSpawn. Send JohnsanGeezo a mail so he knows you’re done and we’ll be in touch with what happens next!

Prizes

But what are the prizes you ask? This time around it’s different, but still pretty fun! We’ve put together a selection of build options from the HC10 world to put into your own base. It’s not open slather – you will be able to explore a world with some of the build areas on offer – they’re different to the trail, and it will be up to you to make them fit your build, but you will be able to modify them if you like. Each player that completes the challenge and collects all 10 unique items will be able to have their choice of one build in their base area. The gate to this world will also be found on the HC airship at 121NewSpawn.

We’re really excited for you all to check out the scavenger hunt. We had a heap of fun putting it together. A massive thank you to the Hermits for building incredible things to explore! It’s always awesome checking out what the pros can do.

June Creative Competition – Mob Shrine

We’re almost in the last month of Season 1! June marks the end of the first season of the Creative Competition, so it comes down to this! In June we’re doing a theme we’ve never attempted before. Given everyone’s builds in the season thus far, we have high hopes! The theme is Mob Shrine. Choose a mob, and built it a shrine! Make it look fancy!

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.

I’m away this weekend, so the changeover will be one day delayed. The June Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the May gate which will close to building at 9pm on Monday June 1st.

The gate will be open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of June 2nd, so start your planning now!


Season 1, 2026 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 & 1x diamond block

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

April Medieval Results

Another competition complete, and it was a popular one! Medieval didn’t quite work last time we tried it, thanks to a server problem, but it’s been a tough one to judge, given the range of builds we got. So without any further ado, it’s time to announce the results for the April Monthly Competition!

Let’s take a look at the results!

1st Place: legocraftmlb

Legocraftmlb has scored his third win with this massive castle on a cliff, under the attack from a dragon. This build was so big, it didn’t fit in one picture!

This win also means lego is now officially joining the ranks of the Builder team! You can read more about the role at our post from about a year ago. Welcome to the Builder team lego! We’ll be in touch more in game.

2nd Place: TapuFini888

Fini went with something slightly different, but very cool nonetheless – a massive battleaxe against a cliffside tower. Building the battleaxe not at one off angle but two would have been a solid challenge!

3rd Place: Lellmon

Rounding out the top three was Lellmon, with a medieval classic – an enderdragon attacking a village. Another very cool build to explore! Well done Lell.

Honourable Mentions

This time around we had four honourable mentions!

May Creative Competition – Prehistoric

It’s the last week of April, so it’s time to announce the next theme for the Creative Competition! Medieval seems to have been a popular one, and we’ve got something for May we’ve not done before, so we’re excited to see what happens. In May we’re going way back in time with Prehistoric. Dinosaurs, epic terrain, huge forests, the lot! This will be a fun one.

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 May Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the April gate which will close to building at 9pm on Thursday April 30th.

The gate will be open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of May 1st, so start your planning now!

March History Results

Another competition complete! You’ve been working hard making some very well researched and detailed builds based on History, so it’s time to announce the results for the March Monthly Competition!

We had quite a range of global locations, including some I didn’t think we were going to see, which was a nice surprise. Well done to everyone!

Let’s take a look at the results!

1st Place: legofanatic212

Getting win number two, legofanatic212 built the Blitz of London during World War 2. The detail and colour choices in here looked fantastic. Well done lego!

2nd Place: legocraftmlb

legocraftmlb decided to create a whole hall of history called The History Book! It includes a few different points in history including the Irish Potato Famine, the first nuclear test, the first Airbus A300 and what looks to be the Battle of Normandy on top.

3rd Place: MarshyMS

Rounding out the top three was MarshyMS with the opening of the Eiffel Tower. I particularly like the design for this one, even though it was smaller than expected!

Honourable Mentions

This time around we had three honourable mentions!

April Creative Competition – Medieval

It’s almost time to change the competitions over and we’re pretty excited to try this one again! We tried the theme of Medieval back in February last year, but after some issues with our host, the world got accidentally reset, so we had to cancel the competition that month. It’s back though, so let’s try it again! Medieval is something that works incredibly well with Minecraft and is extremely popular with many of our players, so this should be some close competition.

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 April Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the March gate which will close to building at 9pm on Tuesday March 31st.

The gate will be open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of April 1st, so start your planning now!

The LibraryCraft League is back in 2026!

With the Minigames server all updated and ready to go with new minigames, it’s time for season 5 of the LC League!

Like the AFL, it’s a round robin style tournament that will be on for a number of weeks. Each registered player will get the opportunity to verse each other player in the competition, but there’s a difference. This isn’t just one minigame, it’s four – BedWars, Duels, Hunger Games and TNT Run. Each week will be on a different map.

Starting Monday April 13th, matches will be played each week. During the school holidays they can happen on any day, but when school is back, it will be limited to strictly between Friday afternoons and Sunday nights – no matches during the week, so you can all focus on school! This is so it’s fair to everyone that can’t play during the week. You won’t be able to verse every person on every map, as it’d take forever – if we get 16 players registered, it’ll be a 16 week competition, plus more for a finals series.

Like with our other tournaments, it’s up to each player to sort out their matches. Matches will be available on the LC League Island (image above) in the Minigames Lobby at the start of each week.

If matches are not played between Friday afternoons and Sunday nights, they cannot be delayed to the following week or weekend. The player that puts the least amount of effort in to scheduling a match will be forfeited.

Points & Scoring

Each match you play earns you points, regardless of if you win or not!

Win: 2 points
Lose: 1 point
Forfeit: 0 points

You need to actually play to get a point! The opponent of the forfeited player will get an automatic 2 points.

Once you’ve played your match, it is the responsibility of the players to confirm the results in the League Discord channel, or in an in game mail to Johnsan from the Survival world if you don’t have Discord access.

IMPORTANT: You’re better off playing and losing instead of forfeiting. You’ll improve your chances of getting into the finals series.

Prizes

Up for grabs are some netherite blocks and mega crate keys for the top three at the end of the finals series, and the top two (winner and runner-up) get an exclusive rank on the server itself for the following year – League Champion, and League Runner-Up.

Also up for grabs this year are some JB HiFi vouchers! $100 for the League Champion, and $50 for the League Runner-Up.

Registration

To register, send JohnsanGeezo a mail in game. Registration is free, but you need to be available to play every weekend in order to complete your matches and get those points. Registrations close Sunday 12th April at 9pm. No registrations will be taken once the competition has started.

Once registered, you’ll get the LC League Discord role and access to the League channel. For those that are not the right age for Discord, you’ll get your matches through the standard /mail system. The Round 1 match-ups will be available on Monday April 13th, to be played that week, as it’s still school holidays! From Round 2 it will go back to between Friday after school and Sunday night.

Ladder

The LC League page will be updated on the website that will include the weekly draw (the matches), and the current ladder, plus this information and a little more, so make sure you keep an eye on that! Again, the weekly draw won’t be announced until Monday April 13th.


Last season was a lot of fun, so make sure you register for the fifth annual LC League competition, and ask in game or in Discord if you have any questions.

April 2026 School Holiday Social Session!

We’re almost through Term 1, 2026, so it’s time to announce another school holiday social session!

We’ve had questions about it already, so here’s everything you need to know.

Where: Fremantle Library
When: Wednesday 15th April, 2 – 5pm
Cost: FREE!
Bring: Just yourself! We’ve got board games and some laptops, but if you have your own laptop ready to go, bring it along.

As always, please tell us in a mail or in Discord if you plan on coming so we can get an idea of how many people to expect.

See you there!

Minigames are back!

That’s right, after a long two weeks, the Minigames server is back with some new fun to get stuck into, and we can’t wait for you all to check it out!

The new and improved PVP area has been extended back and has two wings – Duels to the left, and Hunger Games to the right.

Duels

Brand new to LibraryCraft, Duels introduces 1 on 1 action with limited kits. There’s four different kits, each with their own arena – Sword, Axe, Mace and Crystal. Crystal is still getting set up, but the others are good to go! The arenas are very bare bones – just you and your opponent!

Click the sign to join the queue you want. Each kit has its own queue.

It’s crucial that you do not start a different minigame while you are in a queue. If you join a queue, wait at the signs. If you want to do something else, click the queue sign again to leave the queue, or you will be dragged into a duel that will not work, and you will be stuck.

If you disconnect from the server while in a duel, you will log a loss and the match will end, so it’s best to finish the duel off! As always, please only disconnect from the Minigames Lobby.

You’re also able to customise the layout of each kit, just for you! We’re looking at bringing the Crystal gamemode soon, plus 2v2 arenas for each kit as well. They’ll come in the next few weeks or so.

Hunger Games

Hunger Games was one of our original minigames back in the day, and now it’s returned! Each of the maps can have up to 8 players, and they’re familiar maps! TowersPVP and CliffGames are now in HG mode as they were back in the early days.

Head through the gate of the world you want and right click the sign in the lobby area to join the match. At the start of the match you’ll be frozen in place, but as soon as the countdown is done, you need to go hunting around the map for chests! They’re located all around the map. It’s first in, best dressed! Gear up, take out your opponents and be the last man standing to win.

Parkour

Lastly, the parkour course has had a complete redesign!

Thanks to our resident parkour design master/chief parkour tormentor Meowlicky, we have a brand new Parkour course that wraps around the Minigames Lobby. There’s also a new way to get to it! Jump over to the starting platform and stand on the first pressure plate to get the timer started!

That’s it! We’re really excited for you all to see it, so let us know what you think!
