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!
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.
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.
Doomwet
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!

Another month down! It’s already getting nearer to the end of the year. It’s just flying by! After a special theme last month, we’re going with Games! We all love playing them, either in the digital form, plus board and card games, so we want to see how you go with building them! Let us know with a sign on the corner of your plot with the name of your game too.

Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition first.
1st Place: ZacWild5
Scoring his first win, Zac opted for a twist on the theme, making “The Greatest Bookshop in the World”. This was a beautifully designed build that is nothing short of spectacular inside! Well done Zac! This was a beauty.
2nd Place: RoseBlossom_
Getting back to back 2nd place, Rose created a double sided build based on All The Light We Cannot See. It’s very well done!
3rd Place: EnderKitty543

We’re a month into the second half of 2024 already! Where has the time gone? August each year in Australia means National Science Week and for us it’s no different. The schools theme this year is Species Survival – More than just sustainability. According to the NSW website:
The theme aims to highlight the importance of science and innovation in ensuring the survival and thriving of different species in an ever-changing world.
For our August competition we’ve decided to do something inspired by this, with Impossible Creatures. Create a hybrid animal for a specific purpose. An example could be a bowerbird and a shark – it hunts for treasure deep in the ocean!
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 August Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the July gate which will close to building at 9pm on Wednesday July 31st.
The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of August1st, so get thinking about your build!

As always this year, we’ll get to the builder competition after the main competition’s honourable mentions. This month wraps up the first season of 2024 competition, so we’ll get to the final season winners at the bottom!
Let’s take a look at the results for the main Emerald Points Competition first.
1st Place: CopperJay
Getting two wins in a row with this beautiful beetle on a leaf, CopperJay now has three wins, which means one thing – CopperJay now gets Builder Rank! Well done CopperJay, you’re just in time to start helping out with getting ready for the next Survival Spawn area.
2nd Place: RoseBlossom_
With a first time scoring votes this season, Rose has gone straight to 2nd place for the month with this beautiful winter scene with giant snowflakes. A very unique build!
3rd Place: RaptorMaster713
Rounding out the top three, RaptorMaster713 went with some giant mushrooms under a cherry blossom tree. These look excellent!
Well done to our three winners! We also had two honourable mentions this round.

We’re almost through June – the last month in Season 1 of the Emerald Points Competition for 2024, so it’s about time we announce the next month’s competition theme. This theme kicks off Season 2!
In July we’re going with Books. Build us a scene from your favourite book or book series! This one should be awesome.

This was one of his incredible builds from a couple of years ago, and it fit perfectly. It’s well worth checking out.

Time to deliver the May results! We went coastal in May with Sand Castle. This was a trickier one for a bunch of people as we had a limited block palette. We had a few people use some blocks that weren’t allowed, so they weren’t able to get any votes, but what we got was very impressive!
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: CopperJay
CopperJay has scored a second win with this brilliant lion and cub – something rather unique but still well within the block restrictions. Well done! This would have been tricky to do!
2nd Place: Zacwild5
Zac built a very nicely detailed sandcastle with quite an intricate design in mind. This was a nice one!
3rd Place: _m1cro_
Rounding out the top three, micro created something that would look like a lot of fun to explore in a Survival world! I like the different spin on a design here.
Well done to our three winners! We also had one honourable mention this round.

On to the next round of results! We went into the air during April with a return of the popular Sky theme, and wow did you lot deliver!
With lots of floating islands, stunning nature and some surprise entries, this month also brought some new players into the leaderboard!
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: qbio
After a bit of a competition hiatus, qbio is back and has gone straight for the top spot with this highly detailed build! This one was noticed by everyone as a huge return with so much to look at. The waterfall in particular is beautiful. Congratulations qbio!
2nd Place: CopperJay
Copper went with a classic option for a sky theme with some floating islands, but the detail on this one is excellent. I love the use of dripstone in the tree trunks. Brilliant!
3rd Place: RaptorMaster713
Rounding out the top builds, Raptor went with a floating island option as well, with what looks to be a large serpent winding it’s way around the centre island, and a building on the lower one.
Well done to our three winners! We also had another six honourable mentions this round. Yet another tough competition for the judges!

1st Place: Smaug12345
Backing up a first competition win with another, Smaug created a detailed chimera -a mythical combination of a lion, a goat and a dragon.
2nd Place: Meowlicky
Meow opted for arguably the most hated mob in the game, the Phantom.
3rd Place: RubyBird12
Scoring 3rd place, Ruby went with a comical looking serpent, although we’re assuming it wasn’t finished. That face is brilliant.
We also had a fourth entry that scored an honourable mention – toothless_spy with the beginnings of a hot air balloon. If only it was finished! It would have looked great.
