That’s right, LibraryCraft now officially has a sister server! A week or so ago we announced that a new server was being worked on, specifically for 18+ players in WA playing Hytale. Well, it’s ready to go!

All the information you need to know is on the LibraryTale page of this website! It’ll also be visible at the top menu. That page will have a separate form to fill out for joining, with Hytale specific information.

LibraryTale is a whitelisted and age verified server, so we do ask for ID to verify that you’re over 18. Why? Because adults need a safe space to game too!

If you have any questions, reach out to us in an email!

Something you may find in your travels of 121NewSurvival is the expansive LibraryCraft Country Club. Nestled in the hills of a plains biome is a sprawling Spanish themed estate surrounded by fields and trees. You’ll also be able to reach it from the new golf themed ship soon to be docked at 121NewSpawn! The Country Club will play host to Enderpearl Golf, a new vanilla feature coming to LibraryCraft! It’s almost ready, but we thought we’d better tell you about it now, as you can’t really miss the Country Club! The original build is by Kaizen87, but we’ve modified it to suit our needs, as well as some heavy terraforming.

There are going to be a few options. The Collaborative Survival Course will take you across the world, visiting other players’ bases and central locations. This is a course created by everyone! Each player is allowed to have ONE hole at their base. They’ll be connected by custom portals and start at the Country Club.

The other options are the smaller, standalone 9 hole custom courses. These are able to be designed by a small group of players (minimum 3 players). There are 8 custom courses available for purchase to build.

There’s also going to be a couple of example courses, with 3 – 4 holes. One will be to the northwest of the Country Club, to test out your enderpearl skills, and one will be in the ocean by 121NewSpawn, to test out the Riptide I tridents (your drivers).

Hole Building

If you want to build a hole at your base, or a custom 9 hole course, purchase a corresponding ticket at the Course Creation Shop within the Country Club, then get in touch with John or one of the mods to collect your kit. Each kit will contain everything you need to create a teebox and a hole, to our specifications. There’s lots of information at the shop on specifics.

Playing and Equipment Hire

In order to play, visit the Pro Shop to hire some equipment. Your scores won’t count if you do not hire the equipment first! A diamond will get you a shulker full of the gear you need – a Riptide I trident, some enderpearls, some feather falling boots, a ball marker, and a book and quill for noting down your scores.

These items (and their shulker) MUST be returned to the Pro Shop after you have finished playing! Penalties will apply for people who steal from the Pro Shop. If you don’t return them, your scores won’t be logged! We’ll have leaderboards in the Country Club for each course.

To play, put on the boots, place your enderpearls in your offhand, and the trident in your main hand. Stand in water and hold right click to charge the trident. Release right click to release the trident and propel yourself into the air. Just after releasing the trident, right click again to launch the enderpearl.

If there’s any questions, let us know! As soon as it’s ready, an announcement will be made in game and in Discord. Stay tuned!

Christmas is only a week away, so we’ve decided to celebrate with a fun Christmas activity!

In dock right now at 121NewSpawn is the Christmas Ship! During this map, every now and then a special ship may arrive in port to bring on a new activity, and the Christmas Ship is the first one of this special fleet! The Christmas Ship was created by CopperJay and Meowlicky, so congratulate them on their amazing work too!

From now until January 1st, a special Christmas activity will be on offer – go through the gate on the Christmas Ship to get to the Christmas Maze! This multi-level Christmas themed maze isn’t just for something to do – everyone who completes it gets a prize.

These special crates are similar to the Daily Crates, but with a difference – players are only allowed to open them once. Once you’ve got yours, that’s it!

Firstly, and visible throughout the maze (and at the dock) will be a double-set of 8 Christmas themed banners (in a rather festive red bundle) to be used in your bases!

Complete the entire maze and you’ll reach the final Christmas Crate. Inside that is an equal chance to get one of the following:

• 6 Diamond blocks
• a Trident
• a Beacon
• a Nether Star
• 16 sponges, or
• a Mace.

Note that some of the normal commands won’t work in the maze. Ones like /tpa, /pwarp and a couple more won’t work. To get to the maze you’ll need to use the portal on the Christmas Ship, and to leave you’ll need to use a /gwarp. Also, when running the maze, please disable any minimap mod you may have on your client.

Happy mazing, and Merry Christmas from the LC Team!

We’re a few weeks into the 1.21.5 New Survival map, and it looks like people are having fun getting some bases set up, including some rather big plans! We thought we’d take a quick tour of some of the bases so far and see what’s what. If we’ve not included you, we’re sorry! Make sure you send us your pwarp name so we can include you in the list next time. We’ll make sure we do these again. This is a longer post than normal, but there’s plenty of pictures!

bearNbubbles & Flicky2016

It’s great to see one of the pre-made islands being purchased! You can take a look at the options for these at 121NewSpawn. A few diamond blocks and you can have one too! I also like that the bases have been decorated with some very nice festive decorations!

cold_hand

Cold has decided to take over a small village. Ever the king of dirt, we’re excited to see what this will end up being!

CopperJay

While there’s not a lot of building that’s occured apart from some interesting terrain changes, Copper has gotten settled with some crop farms to start with.

CountDoDo

Always one to go for a larger community style base, Count has decided to undertake DoDoGrad, complete with a government system and (in Count’s own words) “different People’s Commisariats for stuff like agriculture, industry, forestry and internal affairs.” Hopefully DoDoGrad grows soon!

Cronic_

Hidden in a compact valley/bowl, Cronic has most of the build underground, but it was difficult to get a good image! Down the hole are some more farms and a giant rocket. This is one to keep an eye on!

Endrock6

Perched on the edge of an ice mountain, End has gone for a modern aesthetic for his storage and some minor living arrangements, with a lot of farms and other infrastructure co-located with Meowlicky in an ocean.

_Heebyy

An impressive start to a house by a river for Heebyy! This one looks very picturesque.

JohnsanGeezo

I’ve decided to go massive this year with a huge dragon skeleton being unearthed in a badlands biome. So far there’s been over 350,000 terracotta removed by hand from what I’m calling the Arcane Archaeology Pit, with a LOT more to come. The start of the head is just visible – I’m not even halfway down yet! After that will come a massive magician’s tower, even taller trees (reaching about where I was to take the image), and more. The story is that the magician found the skeleton and is slowly melting it down to get the magic from the bones.

Legofanatic212

So far Lego has created a perimeter wall in a very cold biome!

Meowlicky

Seemingly intent on trying to bankrupt the world (I kid, of course), Meow has inlaid ancient debris through his entire floor, and is slowly going through the process of filling the armour stands with diamond armour. This is a not-so-subtle flex of his grinding abilities. His base also houses a functioning End portal!

Meow and End also have this expansive farming area deep in an ocean biome, to further increase their wealth.

minywire & blueysnow

Neighbours perched on the edge of a steep cliff, Miny and Bluey have the beginnings of a very quaint suburb, and what a view!

Parkour_ninja77

Parkour has taken to the forest with a unique treehouse build with some very large windows for a great view!

RoseBlossom_

Rose has also decided to start some farms by the edge of a river, with a good amount of area for expansion in the future!

SUNNYBOY2013

Sunny is making some dramatic changes to a village split by a large valley. This one is starting to look really exciting!

thatjab

Jab has gone for a desert location, deciding to dig down deep for what appears to be an underground build as well.

x_box360

Also perched on the edge of a large drop, xbox has gone in amongst an ever-beautiful cherry tree forest.

yanman_

Last, but not least, yanman is also braving the snow with a couple of stunning houses and some basic farms.

We’re very excited to see what is to come for this world, and the bases we’ve already seen! If you want to submit another location, let us know in a /mail or a Discord ticket and we’ll add you to the list for the next installment, whenever that may be!

Happy building!
