Our fourth Annual Report, for 2022/23 is now available! Click the image below to download a copy. Thanks again to everyone for your support of the program! It’s been another exciting year of growth and loads of fun. We’re looking forward to seeing what comes in the next 12 months!
In the craziness of school holidays we forgot to draw the ticket giveaway! We’re giving 5 players a weekend pass to Pixel Expo: Level 2. We’ll be there on the 5th and 6th August at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre. It’s going to be huge!
On to the results – here are the five winners!
Congratulations to the five winners! We’re looking forward to seeing you at Pixel Expo. If you have won a ticket, we’ll be in touch soon.
Friday is the big day! Friday after school, the LC Vault Hunters server will be open to players that have completed the whitelist process for LCVH. If you’re not sure what that is, check out the LC Vault Hunters page on the site. We’re really happy with the spawn area! Just wait until you see it at night. It changes….
In order to make the process as smooth as possible, the LC Vault Hunters Player’s Guide is now available for eligible players to familiarise themselves with. Included in this Guide is instructions to install the Modpack. Note: you won’t be able to connect to the server until after school on Friday.
We’ll announce the URL to the server in the Players Guide and in the Discord on Friday. The modpack and Guide is available now so you can get it set up on your PC, ready for Friday.
If you have any questions, use the #lcmodded-general channel on the Discord, or send us an email if you don’t have Discord access. It’s so close!
As you should all know by now, Minecraft Java Edition has been updated to version 1.20! Known as the Trails & Tales update, we get some pretty cool new additions:

It’s all very exciting, and we’re really looking forward to being able to play it in the servers, but you’ll need to be a little more patient. While it’s released to the general public it takes a while for us to get it. Here’s what has to happen before we get it. We have to wait for our server versions to be updated, plus a bunch of other stuff, and it has to be in a particular order.
In amongst all that is a lot of testing, long hours and responding to the relentless excitement from you lot of “JOHN WHEN IS IT GONNA BE READY!?” It’s all good, but as I’ll say now, go easy on us. I want to play on 120Survival as much as you all do. It just takes a LOT of time and a LOT of work to get there.
We’re working hard on it, but we don’t have a date of when it will be ready. You just have to be patient.
We got some great feedback from some players over the course of the two weeks of PVP Survival 3, and like always, we wanted to know what you think, because you lot are important, and you’ve got some great ideas. We’re doing a restart of PVPSurvival.
Play has dropped, which we feel (and we’ve been told) is normal for a PVP Survival map. It’s not a bad thing! Some of you were so stacked it was hard for newer players (or players with less gear, like me) to get a decent foothold in the map.
After some great feedback, here’s what we’re going to do. A rotation of different maps, around for a shorter amount of time. In no particular order:
There’s also a few ideas that will need a bit more thought and possibly another plugin:
The next map will be (funnily enough) PVP Survival 4:
In terms of when the first map will roll out, we’re hoping to have it out and ready for after school tomorrow! Stay tuned!
That’s right! PVP Survival is back for round 3! Here’s what you need to know.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in game, or in the #pvp-survival-chat in Discord!
Have fun!
While we’ve been nice and busy lately, we’ve not seen a lot of play on the Empires world, so we’ve decided to back it up and then bring it back later in the year. In the mean time, the Empires players have asked to keep the lore going, but we want to offer something else…
We’ve chatted as a mod team and have decided to try PVP Survival again. In the coming week we’ll be getting a small world set up for PVP Survival. We’ve had some fun with it in the past, along with some server side issues, but we believe they’re all sorted, so we’re giving it another go.
Here are the rules we’ll go by, as well as the standard server rules.
RULES
If rules are broken, you will be removed from the world and may face jail time. Please make sure you follow them!
We’ll be spending a bit of time getting a world set up over the next few days, with the aim for it to be ready by the weekend. We’ll also have another channel set up in Discord for it as well.
If you have any questions, please ask us in chat or in Discord!
It’s time to do another collaborative creative project! To celebrate the WA Tree Festival, something that many of our local councils are a part of, we’re going to be doing something a little more literacy based! One of my favourite book series (and I know I’m not alone) is the Treehouse series, by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. We thought we’d do our own version, so being Minecraft, we’ll be doing the LibraryCraft 64 Storey Treehouse during April! Here’s how it’s going to work.
The rooms themselves will be done in a custom competition world, accessible through the new, and very unmissable treehouse portal in the Creative Lobby, seen above! Note: this isn’t a competition! We’d love to have everyone come and design a room. It can be a room from the books, or something you thought of yourself. Once the rooms are done, the Builder and Mod teams will piece them together in a massive tree for everyone to explore. So…
Saturday April 1st: The LC Treehouse world will open for players to begin building rooms! (Yes, we know it’s also April Fool’s Day, but this is not a joke.) The world for building rooms will be open until Saturday 15 April, 9pm. We ask that you don’t build outside the square box we’ve provided in each plot.
From April 16 to 30 we’ll piece it all together into a huge custom tree for people to explore.
If you want to do multiple rooms, you definitely can, we just ask that you finish one room off before you start another. Get excited! This one should be fun.
We’ve got another minigame added to the server and it’s a variation on possibly the most requested minigame on LC – OneBlock!
What’s OneBlock? Similar to Skyblock, you start on a single block floating in the sky. As you mine that block, it reappears as something different. As you level up (by breaking the block again and again), new items will be included. Be warned though, mobs will appear too, and some will be hostile!
To create a new island, use /ob join in the Minigames Lobby. This will place you on a small island, like the one pictured above. Yep, we realise it’s not just a single block, but this is still not bad. The centre block (the OneBlock) is the magic one that will reappear. If you mine the others around it, they’ll drop as normal but won’t reappear, so be careful!
Some commands and things to know about this gamemode:
/ob join to start your first island or go back to it from another world in the Minigames server./ob IDreset to clear your island. Then use /ob join to start a new one./ob invite [username] to invite that player to play with you. NOTE: This will mean they LOSE their island. Players can’t have their own island AND play with someone else./tpa.If you have questions, ask in Discord or in game! Enjoy!
It’s been a while, but we’ve got a brand new PVP map! A map concept originally by Meowlicky, it was taken over by RubyBird12 with some assistance from CountDoDo pretty early on and has transformed into the image above – a perfectly named Magical Oasis!
The map has been added to the HungerGames setup as a PVP option for a maximum of four players. There’s loads of hidey holes, as well as open spaces to run and cramped spots for a close quarters battle. This will be a fun one, as the entire island is also hollow, to allow for some cave battles too.
Well done to the team for building this great map!
Do you have an idea for a big creative project? Need a map for it? Project worlds can be made available for you in the Creative Server. Project worlds are limited to the project team and the mod team, and you’ll need to submit a written book to Johnsan’s current main Survival base with the following information:
If you have questions about Project worlds, feel free to get in touch! Have fun in the Magical Oasis!
