June & Emerald Points Season 1 2023 Results

It’s July and that means three things – school holidays, time to announce the winners for June’s Sport competition, and the results of the Season 1 competition for 2023!

On to the results for June first!

1st Place: RatherQuenched

Getting his second win, RQ has gone with something I reckon really appealed to a lot of us as gamers – a big Wii Sport TV and very nice cabinet! I especially liked the LC and LibraryCraft logos in the cabinets. Congratulations RQ!

2nd Place: sirRubyBird12

Ruby went with a combination of pixel art and building, with her birds playing soccer! I love it!

3rd Place: Meowlicky

Lastly, while it’s unfinished, Meow went with a racetrack, complete with the lights to start and the checkered flag.

Well done to our three winners! We also had one honourable mention this round too – MegRose.

Final Leaderboard

Here’s what the final leaderboard looks like!

  • sirRubyBird12 – 45 pts
  • RatherQuenched – 35 pts
  • strxww – 25 pts
  • toothless_spy – 25 pts
  • Noodles257 – 15 pts
  • ItsLittle_ – 10 pts
  • LordSquid_ – 5 pts
  • GalaxyOcean – 5 pts
  • TheGOATED – 5 pts
  • Meowlicky – 5 pts

A huge congratulations to Ruby, RQ and Straw for getting the top three spots! Ruby will get the $350 worth of LEGO (in the form of a voucher), RQ gets a $100 JB HiFi gift voucher and Straw gets a $50 JB HiFi Voucher. They’ve also got a custom trophy waiting for them in the prize collection area. I’ll reach out to the three winners in Discord or email to sort out their prizes.


In Game Prize Collection

A Competition Prize Collection Point has been set up in 119Survival! Instead of prizes being deposited at bases, they’ll all be left at a central prize collection point at my 119Survival Base. There’s a public pwarp – JohnsanGeezo.CompCollectionPoint – that will have protected chests for each player that won a prize – podium OR honourable mention.

I’ve tweaked it a little again, with redstone lamps and a lever at each spot. Once you have collected your prize, please turn the light off. The redstone torches indicate that you have a previous prize to collect.

Please make sure you collect your items quickly, or you will risk losing them!

School Holiday Social Session @ Fremantle Library!

School Holidays are just around the corner, so it’s time for another Social Session! This time we’re keeping options open – you can hop on the main server, if you’re a teen you can get stuck into Vault Hunters, you can play a board game, or you can just hang out! We’re happy to just see what happens.

Where: Fremantle Library
When: Tuesday 11th July, 1 – 5pm
Bring: Just yourself! We’ve got the board games and some laptops, but if you have a board game you’re desperate to play, or your own laptop ready to go, bring it along.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in Discord or in an email! We’re looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of people there again!

July Creative Competition – Monsters

Its time for a new season of Creative competition, with Monsters! This is a really exciting new competition as we’re changing the points system slightly. Now we’re giving honourable mentions (those builds that get at least one vote) a single point in the competition! This will be huge, as it’ll have a pretty big impact on the season standings. That one point could be the difference!

The July Comp world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the June gate which will close to building at 9pm on Friday June 30th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of July 1st, so get thinking about that monster! A huge thanks to Kisney for the gate build this month!


Season 2 Prizes

As you know, each month we give away the following prizes, now with the new inclusion:

  • 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 halfway point of the season (March for Season 1 and September for Season 2) we give away prizes to the current top three Emerald Points winners:

  • 1st Place: 1x $25 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 2nd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 3rd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher

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:

  • 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

Exciting times! Bring on Season 2!

Evaluation Survey 2023!

It’s the end of the financial year, so it’s evaluation time! We’d love to know what you think about LibraryCraft. In order for us to make this server the best it can be, and to get some information for the 2022/23 Annual Report, we’re asking for your input.

There are two separate surveys:
– Player’s Survey: https://culturecounts.cc/s/73DKfQ
– Parent’s Survey: https://culturecounts.cc/s/3MzbSk

It’s important that we also get thoughts from the parents, as they’re a crucial part of getting onto the server to start with.

We’re also offering an incentive to give us your thoughts in the Players Survey!

Three player entries will be randomly selected to receive a netherite ingot, a diamond block and two mega crate keys in 120Survival, when that starts! Entries are able to be received from now until 22 July 2023.

The information we receive is valuable to us as it can help us improve the server and the programs that happen in and around it, as well as seeing how important it is in the community.

Don’t forget, we’ve still got the big giveaway happening with The Curse of the Broken Language! We’re giving away a $100 JB HiFi voucher, and that closes on July 30th. We’ve had a few entries already, and it’s not too hard to do.

The LC Vault Hunters Player’s Guide & Download Instructions now available!

Friday is the big day! Friday after school, the LC Vault Hunters server will be open to players that have completed the whitelist process for LCVH. If you’re not sure what that is, check out the LC Vault Hunters page on the site. We’re really happy with the spawn area! Just wait until you see it at night. It changes….

In order to make the process as smooth as possible, the LC Vault Hunters Player’s Guide is now available for eligible players to familiarise themselves with. Included in this Guide is instructions to install the Modpack. Note: you won’t be able to connect to the server until after school on Friday. 

We’ll announce the URL to the server in the Players Guide and in the Discord on Friday. The modpack and Guide is available now so you can get it set up on your PC, ready for Friday.

If you have any questions, use the #lcmodded-general channel on the Discord, or send us an email if you don’t have Discord access. It’s so close!

Pixel Expo: Level 2 Ticket Giveaway!

After the hugely successful event last year, Pixel Expo has levelled up to level 2 and will be back again, this time for 2 whole days! Not only that, but we’ll be there too! We’re heading back to the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre on the 5th and 6th August. We’ve also got five free weekend passes to give away to our players! Each weekend pass is worth $50, so it’s definitely worth entering.

We’re still working on what we’re going to have there, but we’ll definitely have both the main server and the Vault Hunters server on show for people to check out, plus with two whole days of show, there’s going to be so much more to check out.

Giveaway

If you are whitelisted during the time of this post, you’re eligible to enter. We’ll be selecting five players using computerised random selection to each receive a weekend pass to Pixel Expo: Level 2.

To enter, complete the form before 9pm on Sunday July 2nd. We’ll need your real name and your username. You’re limited to one entry per whitelisted player.

Full terms and conditions are visible at the bottom of the form. Good luck!

LC Vault Hunters Terms & Conditions Now Available!

We’re getting so close to the release of the LC Vault Hunters server, and the first stage is now here! One of the important steps to get access is completing an extra Terms & Conditions form. You can read all about the requirements and the Vault Hunters server itself on the LC Vault Hunters page.

It’s important that both the player AND parent read through this form carefully and sign it to say you understand it. Like it says in the form, LC Vault Hunters is a privilege for our older players and we’re so excited to be able to offer it.

If you have previously completed this form for the LC Create server, you don’t need to complete this one. This is just for new players to the modded server.

You can find a PDF version of the form here, or if that doesn’t work for you, there’s an alternate .docx version.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask us in Discord or in an email.

The Launch Date for LC Vault Hunters!

We’ve had a solid few weeks of testing the LibraryCraft Vault Hunters modded server, and it’s gone quite well! So well, in fact, that we’ve decided to announce a launch date!

We’re super excited to announce that the LCVH Server will be going live on Friday 23rd June, after school!

For those of you that were whitelisted on the LC Create server, you’ll automatically be whitelisted on the Vault Hunters server! Hooray! Again, this server is for previously whitelisted players aged 13 – 17. There’s a couple of other requirements to be whitelisted on the LCVH server, which you can see at the LC Vault Hunters page of the website.

Release Dates

The new Terms of Use form will be available on Friday 16th June. This is so the new players can apply to be a part of it and be ready to go.

The instructions for download will be released on the LC website on Wednesday 21st June.

The LC Vault Hunters server will be available for play after school on Friday 23rd June!

If you have any questions about the LC Vault Hunters server, please get in touch with us on Discord, or via an email to whitelist@librarycraft.net.

Get excited!

1st Place: RubyBird12

Notching up a second win, Ruby has created some very cute kittens! I really liked these – so adorable! Well done Ruby!

Little did a bit of a combination of things – a tiny settlement with a tree farm, and some pixel art! Well done Little!

3rd Place: TheGOATED

Lastly, TheGOATED went super minimalistic with a tiny house containing a bed and enderchest! A clever interpretation of the theme!

Well done to our three winners!
