April Creative Competition – Food

Who’s hungry?

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

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of April 1st, so get thinking about what you’d like to build. A massive thank you to Kisney for creating the incredible gate build!

February Something You Love Build Competition Results

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s time to announce the winners and honourable mentions for February’s Something You Love competition.

Remember, there’s a new way to collect prizes! Read on…

1st Place: RubyBird12

Ruby has locked in her first win with this beautiful guitar, amplifier, microphone and even a tune that’s played! Well done Ruby, this was great.

2nd Place: toothless_spy

Toothless has made a PC setup complete with Minecraft being shown on screen! I love the detail in this one.

3rd Place: RatherQuenched

King of the meme builds, RatherQuenched went with the couple in bed meme for this one, and it worked out so well!

Honourable Mentions

We have four honourable mention this round, with players scoring some votes, but not enough to make the podium finish. They each get a diamond block! They’re getting harder and harder to judge each month!

Well done to all our entries!

Prize Collection

To make things a little easier on me, 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 original 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.

Please make sure you collect your items quickly, or you will risk losing them! There’s a few from January still, marked with a redstone torch.

The LibraryCraft League is back for 2023!

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

Time for another season 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, in 2023 it’s four – BedWars, PVP, TNT Run and Spleaf. Each week will be on a different map.

Matches will be played each week, but strictly between Friday afternoons and Sunday nights – no matches during the week! 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.

Prizes

Up for grabs would be some diamond blocks and mega crate keys for the top three at the end of the series, and the top two (winner and runner-up) would 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 each weekend in order to complete your matches and get those points. Registrations close Monday 3rd April at 9pm. No registrations will be taken once the competition has started.

Ladder

The LC League page will be updated on the website that will include the full season draw (the matches), and the current ladder, plus this information and a little more closer to the date.

Last season was massive, so make sure you register for the second annual LC League competition, and ask in game or in Discord if you have any questions.

March Creative Competition – Medieval

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

This one should be a fun one as the whole server’s feel is generally medieval themed!

The March Comp world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the February gate which will close to building at 9pm on Tuesday February 28th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of March 1st, so get thinking about what you’d like to build. It can even be something modern with a medieval feel. Get creative!

Season 1 Prizes

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

  • 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

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

LibraryCraft: Now with Build Battles!

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions, New Worlds

That’s right! You asked for it, we delivered! The Creative server is now home to a build battle minigame and arena. We thought it’d fit better in the Creative server.

To start with we’ve got one arena that can hold up to 18 players. It’s a 10 minute build timer and you can vote on the topic to build on. More of these topics can be added, so feel free to suggest more! After the timer has elapsed, you’ll be teleported to each plot to vote.

You can automatically change the floor block type, add lots of different particles, change the time of day, add rain and of course build! There’s also a couple of commands to use:

  • /bg leave to leave the match halfway through
  • /bg stats to see your statistics!

We’ll be adding a team build battle option as well, but feel free to suggest any tweaks you might like to see.

January Ocean Build Competition Results

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

I can’t believe we’re already a month down in 2023! Time to announce January’s winners and honourable mentions for the Ocean competition.

Note: There’s a new way to collect prizes! Read on…

1st Place: Noodles257

After a bit of a hiatus, Noodles is back and has scored his first win with this amazing and highly detailed underwater observatory! This was a lot of fun to explore.

2nd Place: LordSquid__

Squid crafted a highly detailed kraken and some massive eels, which were actually used as a part of some LC Empires lore, being displayed in that map too! Well done Squid – I love the boat!

3rd Place: Strawfolk

Straw decided to build a lonely lighthouse with some tunnels under the water. I really like the simplicity of this one. Straw also snatched third place with just five extra points!

Honourable Mentions

We have a huge six honourable mention this round, with players scoring some votes, but not enough to make the podium finish. They each get a diamond block! Another tough round to judge!
