The Head Games is back in 2026!

On January 12, 2026 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions, Survival World

That’s right, it’s been almost two years, but the Head Games is back! Another ship has docked in the Spawn port and it leads to our brand new Head Games HQ, built by Meowlicky and CopperJay!

Nearly every mob has a chance to drop it’s head on death. Each head (for the most part – there are some that won’t count), is worth points! Some are better than others – the points list is available from the 2026 Head Games HQ. We’re changing it up a bit this time around, so make sure you take the time to read the post properly!

The competition is open for registrations only from now until 9pm, Sunday 18 January, 2026. It costs 1 DIAMOND BLOCK to register. NAME your diamond block and place it in the chest on the platform by the gate.

Competition will be open for head submissions from 9pm Sunday 18th January until Sunday 15 February, 9pm. We’re only giving you a month to submit heads!

Whoever has the most points at the end of the competition (Sunday 15th February, 9pm), will win – 1st, 2nd and 3rd! In the past there have been a HUGE amount of goodies to win and you can donate prizes as well! Treasure blocks like diamond, netherite, gold, iron, coal and more. Add them into the prize pool chest (the one by the podiums) at the new Head Games HQ (the HGHQ).

Each registered player will get a chest at the HGHQ – located in the centre of the colosseum, which will be functional after 9pm on Sunday 18th January. Add VALID heads into your chest to submit them.

Some things to note:

Don’t submit heads that do not score points
Don’t submit non head items
Don’t name the heads – leave them as they are
Heads from the /heads plugin are different and do not count
Farms to collect heads are allowed, but ONLY if the mobs die by a player’s hand – handheld weapons only
Points will be calculated each Monday, with a hologram leaderboard available at the HGHQ, in the centre of the HQ.

To register, simply put 1 DIAMOND BLOCK WITH YOUR USERNAME ON IT into the chest at the HeadGames HQ.

Let the games begin!

December Christmas & End of Season 2, 2025 Results

On January 9, 2026January 9, 2026 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

Just like that another season done! We’re well into the January school holidays and 2026 has just begun, so let’s find out who won in December, and who took out the whole of season 2, 2025! We went with a December staple of Christmas, and got some very festive builds!

Let’s take a look at the results!

1st Place: legofanatic212

Getting his first win, legofanatic has gone with a classic Christmas winter theme, complete with candy cane lined path, a giant snowman and a Christmas party in the house! There’s even lyrics to a modified Frosty the Snowman in the snowman’s body. Nice work lego!

2nd Place: WoodyToucan

Woody went with an assortment of Christmas builds – Santa with his sleigh outside a workshop, candy canes, snowmen, presents under a tree and even a very clever Christmas pudding!

3rd Place: Parkour_ninja77

Entering his first competition, Parkour has gone for a classic – presents under a rather nice Christmas tree. Well done Parkour, and welcome to the competitions!

January Creative Competition – Aussie Landmarks

On December 23, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to talk about the first competition theme for 2026! New year, new season of competition! A few weeks ago we asked you for some suggestions for themes you wanted to see, so our first theme is one from yanman! During January, we’re asking you to build an Australian Landmark. It can be something iconic, or something a little more left of field.

Even if it’s obvious, please put a sign with the landmark and the state it’s in on the corner of your build.

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.

We’re putting the Builder competition on a bit of a hiatus at the moment, but we’ll look at bringing it back later in the year – at the moment all of our builders are either creating their bases or other things for the server during 2026!

The January Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the December gate. John is away camping until the afternoon of January 1st, so you’ll have a little extra time to finish your December builds. That also means the January competition won’t open until later in the day on January 1st.

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

November Dream Home Results

On December 8, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

We’re all slowly gearing up for Christmas but we’re not quite ready for that yet – we need to post the results of the November competition! We asked you all to build us your dream home, and we got some really detailed and well thought out entries! We didn’t get any builder entries again as everyone has been getting stuck into the new Survival map, so we’ve decided to put a hold on the Builder Competition for the next season. We’ll look at bringing it back later in 2026.

Let’s take a look at the results!

1st Place: Heebyy_

Heebyy has scored his third win with this beautiful house on a custom beachside cliff! The trees appear to be little homes around a very cute lake. That also means that Heebyy is now officially joining the Builder rank! You can read more about the role at our post from about a year ago. Welcome to the Builder team Heebyy! We’ll be in touch more in Discord.

2nd Place: SUNNYBOY2013

Sunnyboy went coastal as well, with a very unique looking house on a rock. There’s also a cave underneath the detailed interior!

3rd Place: legofanatic212

Legofanatic went with an interesting fort looking house with a large tree in the middle. This one looked great! Very spacious.

Honourable Mentions

We had two entries that got honourable mentions this time around!

December Creative Competition – Christmas

On November 27, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s almost Christmas! Can you believe it? This year has absolutely flown by! By now we’re a week or so into 1.21.5 and the New Survival world, and people are very excited! Don’t forget the Creative competitions though! Obviously this time we’re asking you to build to a generic Christmas theme. Time to get festive!

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 Sunday November 30th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of December 1st, so get thinking about your build!

September/October Magical Forest Results

On November 10, 2025November 10, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

September and October had a competition run over two months while John was on holidays. We asked you all to build something around a Magical Forest theme, and we had some great entries! We didn’t get any builder entries again as they’ve been busy making some final additions to our next Survival spawn area for the new Survival map. More on that soon!

Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition.

Also, just a reminder that prizes from this competition will be held and awarded in the next Survival map – stay tuned for when that is. Not long now!

1st Place: Heebyy_

Heebyy notches up a second win with this lovely dark oak forest! The trees appear to be little homes around a very cute lake. Nice work Heebyy!

2nd Place: Wingedphoenix

Wingedphoenix went with a densely populated mushroom village. There’s loads to look at and explore here, with details inside and out. Nice work Phoenix!

3rd Place: Pompadoo2000

Pompadoo came into the competition scene after about a year on the server with a bit more of a paired back entry, but still one that was beautifully detailed. The end rods on the tree was a very nice touch.

Honourable Mentions

We had four entries that got honourable mentions this time around!

November Creative Competition – Dream Home

On October 30, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s been a while since we’ve had a new theme, as the last competition went for two months while John was away, but it’s great to be back! November is almost here, and with it comes a brand new competition theme! In November we’re going with Dream Home. Build us your dream home! You’ve got a good amount of space, so we’d love to see some front and backyards too, if you can fit them.

There’s also no extra builder requirement this time, as it’s your dream home, not ours!

The November Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the September/October gate which will close to building at 9pm tomorrow, Friday October 31st.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of November 1st, so get thinking about your build!

Something that we’ve decided to do in this competition should be exciting for you all! We’re very close to being able to update to a newer version of the server (either 1.21.5 or 1.21.8). We’re imagining that this will happen in the next month (all things going well), so this month, prizes will be claimable with a mail to JohnsanGeezo to be redeemed the new world only! When the new world is ready for play, your prizes will be put in the new prize collection point when it is ready to go.

Season 2, 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 & 1x diamond block

Each month the Emerald Points are tallied up and can be seen in the Emerald Hall on the Survival Lobby world. It’s also been given a rather large revamp, thanks to Meowlicky, one of our builders!

2nd Prize: $100 JB HiFi Voucher
3rd Prize: $50 JB HiFi Voucher

August Haunted Results

On September 9, 2025October 13, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

That’s another month of competition down! We’re in our regular quieter season at the moment, but we’ve still had some great entries for the Haunted theme! This was also a very tight competition. We didn’t get any builder entries, because they’ve been busy planning our next Survival spawn area for the new Survival map! Yes, work has begun on the update!

Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition.

1st Place: WingedPhoenix

After a number of competitions entered, WingedPhoenix (previously known as m1cro and microsoftmaster) has got a win! Phoenix created a rather spooky and fun-to-explore Factory of Reanimation. This one has loads of details to check out, plus a lot of red! I think something bad happened here…

2nd Place: legofanatic212

Legofanatic went with a brilliantly crafted graveyard with spooky tree. The graves around the build all contain usernames of some of our players and mods! Simple, but very effective.

3rd Place: Dragoncosmo222

Dragon built a large glass fronted house with a graveyard out the front, and a large ghost hovering over one of them. It’s a shame the inside of the building was empty, but a cool concept nonetheless!

Honourable Mentions

We had one entry that got honourable mentions this time around!

September/October Creative Competition – Magical Forest

On August 25, 2025September 8, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

Edit: As John is away for a few weeks over September and October, and for the lower numbers in the server at the moment, we’ve decided to extend the September competition to include October too!

We’re almost through with August – this year once again is flying by! The server is a little quieter this time of year, with schoolwork ramping up, exam preparation starting, and lots of other commitments, but nevertheless, we’ve got another great theme for you all to get stuck into! In September, we’re asking you to build your dream Magical Forest! Given the amount of players that love building natural things, we’re hoping this will be a popular one.

A big thanks to minywire for designing the gate build for the competition!

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 a fairy ring!

The September/October Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the August gate which will close to building at 9pm on Sunday August 31st.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of September 1st, so get thinking about your build!

Prizes will be claimable with a mail to JohnsanGeezo in 121Survival.

Season 2, 2025 Prizes

As you know, each month we give away the following prizes to regular players:

July Transport Results

On August 8, 2025 By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s the start of a new season of competition! We kicked of Season 2 with Transport and we had some beautiful builds. These were really impressive! This month we unfortunately didn’t get any builder entries, so hopefully we’ll see some entries from them next month!

Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition.

1st Place: strxww

Straw kicked off the new season with a beautiful mountainside build with a cable car running to the top! This was really well crafted! So well, in fact, that it secures Straw’s third competition win! That means that we have a new Builder! A massive congratulations to Straw! Welcome to the Builder team. We’ll be in touch with a Discord ticket for what happens next.

2nd Place: TapuFini888

Early in July we saw a couple of our original players re-join after a long time away! It was great to see both Fini and marginalin coming back and getting stuck into a competition! Unfortunately marginalin didn’t get to finish his build, but Fini did, and it looks stunning! A highly textured and detailed fishing dock! This was great to explore.

3rd Place: _Heebyy

This month Heebyy went with a train! I’m very impressed that it’s not just a straight train and track – there’s a slight curve! I love this grass texture look too. Nice work!
