September Creative Competition – Birthdays

We are flying through the year – each year it seems to go faster! The next month in the Creative Competition season is looming with the theme being another new one – Birthdays! We all have them, and we all like different things to celebrate them! It could be a special meal, gifts, a party, fun things to do. How do you celebrate a birthday? Let us know by building it!

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

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

July Alien Results

We’re a month into the second season for 2026, so it’s time for a fresh start with competition! We kicked off the season with the theme of Alien and we got a lot of awesome builds to check out! With a few of these builds making use of the entire build area it was a struggle to get the images in one frame, so apologies if the best angle isn’t there!

Also, good news – the Builder competition is back! 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: Bennmc2012

Locking in second win in a row, Bennmc2012 designed some very interesting alien biomes with a spaceship hovering close by. These were really well done and a pleasure to walk through! The distinct colour blocks look great. Well done Benn!

2nd Place: Lellmon

Lellmon’s build was fantastic and very well detailed, featuring a massive sand worm coming out of the ground to eat a spaceship. This was really well done!

3rd Place: EnderKitty543

EnderKitty went with the classic alien trope – a UFO beaming up a cow in a field! I LOVED the scale difference with this one. It was great, and the cow inside is brilliant!

Well done to our three winners! We also had five honourable mentions this round.

1st Place: CopperJay

Copper came back strong with a very unique looking alien landscape, complete with a stunning looking crevasse down below. Nice work Copper!

2nd Place: _Herbss

Herbs went with a brick built version of Ben Quadinaros, the podracer pilot from Star Wars Episode 1. Nicely done!

August Creative Competition – Cyberpunk

We are now nearly a whole month into the first month of the new Creative Competition season, so the leaderboard is wide open! We’re continuing the season with another very exciting theme – Cyberpunk!

June Mob Shrine & End of Season 1, 2026 Results

Not just another competition round done, but a whole season! This was another great but hard one to judge. We got some excellent and well thought out mob shrines. We once again had a few battles for the podium positions. So without any further ado, it’s time to announce the results for the June Monthly Competition, and the results of the whole of Season 1, 2026!

Let’s take a look…

1st Place: Bennmc2012

Pretty new to LC, Bennmc2012 has scored his first win with an Aztec/Mayan temple inspired shrine to the axolotl! Underneath the large platform is a very picturesque lush cave environment, perfect for the cutest mob in the game. Well done Benn!

2nd Place: legofanatic212

Legofanatic212 went with the ever popular enderdragon, complete with some very nice stylized towers. We’re not entirely sure if this was finished or not, but it’s still pretty cool!

3rd Place: HatCatWolf1

HatCat returned to the server after a bit of a break to also build a shrine to the Enderdragon, this time encased in a rather fancy looking pyramid! This was a great looking build all around. Well done HatCat!

Honourable Mentions

This month we had four honourable mentions!

July Creative Competition – Aliens

We’re almost through June! Lots of things tend to happen at this time of year, but the most important one is (no, it’s not the end of financial year) the start of a new season of Creative Competitions! To bring in a new season of competition, in July we’re doing another new theme. We’re pretty excited about this one – Aliens! This one could be a fun one – get creative!

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

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

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!

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

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.
