It’s the end of the year already! We’re a week away from December, and a month away from Christmas, so like we have done a number of times in LibraryCraft, we’re asking you to build your best Christmas related builds!
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 December Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the November gate which will close to building at 9pm on Saturday November 30th.
The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of December 1st, so get thinking about your build!
Prizes will be awarded in 121Survival.
Season 2, 2024 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!
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.
We’re nearing the end of the year, so it’s time to get another school holiday social session planned!
It’s the biggest holiday break of the year, so it should be a lot of fun. There’s already players excited about having one. On to the details!
Where: Fremantle Library When: Wednesday 22nd January, 2 – 5pm Cost: FREE! Bring: Just yourself! We’ve got the 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.
It’s crazy to think that we’re almost in December! Before we get to that though, we need to announce the winners of the October Gods & Goddesses competition. We had some stunning builds this time around, so keep reading to find out who got those all important votes!
As always this year, we’ll get to the builder competition after the main competition’s honourable mentions.
Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition first.
1st Place: FantasticFun
Getting his first competition win, FantasticFun went all out with the big three – Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. These characters are just brilliant, and the terrain around them is excellent. A massive well done Fan!
2nd Place: Kyletendo
Giving himself a bit more of a challenge, Kyle went and built Zeus, but on a diagonal! This one looks excellent. Those lightning bolts are great!
3rd Place: RoseBlossom_
Rounding out the podium, Rose has come in with something a little different to a character build, opting for a scene revolving around Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. That hammer design is stunning!
Well done to our three winners! We also had two honourable mentions this round.

1st Place: CopperJay
Getting another win, Jay built a beautiful Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt and wild animals. Beautiful!
2nd Place: Smaug12345
Smaug designed an incredible looking Thanatos, the Greek minor god of peaceful death. The pose is just great!
3rd Place: RubyBird12
Ruby went a bit off book with the Sheep God, saviour of all sheep. Love it!
Well done everyone!

Last year was Disney’s 100th anniversary and while we didn’t do it then, there’s no reason why we can’t do it now! Plus there’s a few other Disney related anniversaries – 35th for The Little Mermaid, and 30th for The Lion King! To celebrate we’re wanting to see your best Disney related builds!

We’re happy to announce that the 1.21 Survival Trade Hall is now open for business! We’re going a little bit different this time around, but it’s sure to still be a lot of fun.
To be a part of it you’ll need two things:
1x Shopkeeper Egg (1 Diamond Block)
1x Shop Plot (FREE)
The shopkeeper eggs can be purchased from the villager’s stand by the front gate of the Trade Hall. You’re limited to one Egg per player. While it is possible to purchase more, they won’t be able to be used, so you’re just wasting a diamond block – there’s no refunds. When you hold the egg, it will give instructions in chat what to do. Make sure you read them carefully. The shopkeeper will also be selling invisible item frames – 2 diamonds for 16.
Once you have an egg, grab a plot – just like claiming a plot in the Creative competitions, right click a sign. You will need to make sure you have the appropriate amount of diamonds in your inventory. There’s two options:
A pre-made stall in the centre – these are smaller and perfect for those players that don’t want to build a fancy shop, but rather want to pop down a chest and a shopkeeper with minimal decoration. We ask that if you choose one of these, you only make minimal changes to the stand itself. Please do not remove it entirely! If it is changed completely, we will ask you to change it back.
Note that the centre podium in the image above will be for the Dragon Slayer statue.
Larger storefronts are also available for those that want a bit more room. The interior of these is able to be built up, however the existing structures (interior walls and roof) can be modified on request. The outside shopfront can have a sign or two added if you ask nicely too. These won’t be able to be done by you, but JohnsanGeezo can assist with this, as long as you provide the parts!
Importantly, by choosing these ones, you’re agreeing you’re going to put in a bit of work into decorating it! This is not the option for a chest and shopkeeper. If we need more plots, more will be created underground.
You can only get one plot. If you are caught with more than one, it will be removed without warning or refund.
To assist with your decorative needs, the first shop is now open for business! Johnsan is able to be hired to do Custom Armour Statues for a fee. This is the same mod that Hermitcraft uses in Season 10, so there’s a lot more options when it comes to sizes! These are available for shop plots and base builds. More information is in store too.
LibraryCraft has been busy with the introduction of 121Survival, but we’re still going with these! During October we’re asking you to build something themed around Gods and Goddesses. They can be Greek, Norse, whatever mythology you choose. Let us know with a sign on the corner of your plot with your chosen god or goddess.
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 October Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the September gate which will close to building at 9pm on Monday September 31st.
The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of October 1st, so get thinking about your build!
Prizes will be awarded in 121Survival from now on – podium players might even score an elytra from the Megacrate!

In all the craziness of 121Survival being released, we forgot to post the results of August’s Impossible Creatures competition!! So who won? Read on!
As always this year, we’ll get to the builder competition after the main competition’s honourable mentions.
Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition first.
1st Place: ZacWild5
Getting two wins in a row, Zac created the Gocaw – a Goat and Macaw hybrid.
Location: Africa During the Winter, the Gocaw uses the strength of a goat to create warm dens and collect food high in the mountains. During the Summer, it uses it’s Macaw wings to migrate to colder areas of the continent. This is because the Gocaw cannot survive in hot temperatures due to its adaptation to cold environments. What you see in the image before you is a Gocaw about to take off for his Summer migration.
Very creative and well thought out Zac!
2nd Place: RoseBlossom_
Getting back to back to back 2nd place! Nice Rose!
Whilst looks may deceive, the icy dragon/falcon has taken the predatory mind of the falcon and the scaly exterior of a winged beast and loves to hoard gold and make nests up high.
The decorations were lovely!
3rd Place: EnderKitty543
Rounding out the top three again, EnderKitty went with a smaller build, although no sign was left, so we aren’t sure what combination it is!
Well done to our three winners! We also had fourhonourable mentions this round.
Kyletendo
WoodyToucan
KuruTrancy
The bunny bat – it evolved from a rabbit to gain batlike attributes to hunt it’s prey – birds.

Builder Creative Competition Results
We had three points scorers for this month’s Builder competition! To find out more about the Builder competition, read the post! It’ll also cover the rest of the Builder role.
1st Place: CopperJay
Jay went with a Chameligoat!
Chameligoats: Chameleon + Goat Status: Endangered Habitat in the wild: Tropical rainforests and tall hills
Chameligoats are small, chameleon-like reptiles with large goat horns on their head. They are popular for eating mosquitoes, flies and other bugs, and are kept as pets in many homes. They have inherited traits from both goats and chameleons. From chameleons, they inherited most of their looks, and their appetite for bugs. From goats, they gain their horns and an insatiable appetite for eating everything (but bugs are the only things big enough to fit inside their mouths.
Their babies are born from eggs, and after being born, take a year to fully develop into adults.
They are endangered because of many people killing them for their horns in the 1800s. Since then the population has increased by a lot, with Chameligoat hunting being banned.
2nd Place: Smaug12345
Smaug created and perfectly styled the Peacat – a peacock/cat hybrid.
Scientific Name This is a peacock/cat hybrid so I decided to come up with a name that combined felis catus (domesticated cat) with pavo cristasus (crested peacock), and this was the result – pavo felis catus Cristasus.
Purpose It is an aesthetically pleasing companion with vibrant plumage and is capable of flight. It’s appearance is so stunning that it can literally stun its prey, making it the perfect hunting companion too!
Where can it be found? Nobody knows.
3rd Place: toothless_spy
Although toothless is an inactive builder now, he can still compete in the builder competition, but starts with a 15 point deficit. Toothless created the Spark!
Spark: Conquers the land and sea, nearly unstoppable shark spider hybrid used for exploration and battle superiority. Able to take on whole warships.
We were really impressed with the thought processes behind these builds! They were a lot of fun to read about! Well done everyone!

Congratulations to all our winners and entries! Prizes will be able to be collected from the new Prize Greenhouse at 121Spawn as soon as you read this.
In Game Prize Collection
The 121Survival Competition Prize Collection Point is housed inside the large greenhouse just at the west end of 121Spawn.
It will have protected chests for each player that won a prize – podium OR honourable mention.
Please make sure you collect your items quickly, or you will risk losing them!
Sorry players! We’ve decided to lock off the server tonight so we can expand the 121Survival world. We realised we didn’t have a badlands, warm ocean or desert! We’ll be expanding the world to include them.
We’re only a day into 1.21Survival and there’s already a big buzz of excitement with a new map and everything it brings! Now that we’re under way, it’s time to introduce the Chamber Cave.
As we’ve said before, nine trial chambers close to spawn have been protected from destruction and can be run when you like, but first they need to be unlocked! In these protected chambers, you won’t be able to place or break blocks, but will be able to interact with the mobs and vaults.
Located at 121Spawn, the Chamber Cave contains the gates to these nine trial chambers, but they’re not open yet. For each chamber gate, 12 players will need to submit items from a specific theme. Some will be easy to gather, others harder. Once the submissions from each player have been fulfilled correctly, the gate will be opened by staff for the trial chamber to be played! The next gate’s items will then be published not long after.
Check the gate frame for the ingredients you’ll need to submit. The player indicators will be updated regularly so you know who is submitting items, and if they’re done.
Rules:
Don’t submit more than you need to! It’ll just be wasted.
Each player should only submit when you have ALL the items you need to submit yourself. It makes it easier for the mod team to manage!
Don’t submit wrong items.
Players cannot submit more than one lot.
As an example, the first gate has the theme of Agriculture!
12 players will need to submit the following EACH:
10 Copper blocks
20x Hay blocks
30 Bamboo
30 Pumpkins OR 20 Melons
So collect everything you need, head to the Chamber Cave and drop them in the chest in the centre. Once 12 players have submitted everything they need, the gate will open and the trial chamber will be able to be run!
