Good to have you, if you or your friends have any questions do not hesitate to ask a member of staff on our Discord server or in-game.

Please do not necropost. Locked.

Firstly I would like to thank the two people who entered their builds in for the competition and for anybody who created anything but didn't quite finish.
And as you just read, we only had two people submit in their builds for judging and because of this the Admin team feel as though having a default 1st and 2nd place isn't much of a competition, so it's been decided that we will have only a first place this time round due to the underwhelming turn out.

The first place will therefore be given to Linebeckland83 and SparkyWinx! Thank you for putting in the effort in, it really showed in your final product.

And thank you to anybody else who made anything for this summers build comp!

My apologies for the circumstances that we only have one winning entry, if there is anything that could have been done better by me in hosting this event, please PM me or post a suggestion in this thread below.
Thank you and congratulations to the winner(s)! I will be sending a PM to each of you with your prize.

2 and a half years* hi o/

Hello! We will be hosting a new building competition during the summer, it's been a while!

What's the theme?
The theme for this build competition is FREEBUILD! We are looking for creative and fun ideas this time around, all on a topic of your choice as it's Free Build! Show us your creativity!!

How do I enter/submit my creation?
There is no sign up for this event. If you wish to enter, simply start building!
Once you've completed your creation and wish to submit it, reply to this thread with the x y z coordinates on where it's located. (please no /homes)

Can I use a resource pack?
We want everyone to have the same look/advantage when entering, therefore all submissions will be judged using the default resource pack.

When does the event end?
The event will last 4 weeks from today. July 23rd 2017 - August 20th 2017
After this, no more submissions will be accepted and we will move onto the judging stage.

Rules
Nothing too major:
1. Building with other players is allowed, however, the prize will be split between the group.
2. As player Moderators can use /fly, their builds will be judged more harshly depending on what style of build they choose to do.
3. Have fun!!
4. Previous builds of yours may not be used, the build you are entering into the competition must be created after the 22nd of July 2017. (we can check)

Prizes
There will be 3 winners in the form of first, second, and third place.
First place will receive $30 to spend in the donation store.
Second place will receive $20 to spend in the donation store.
Third place will receive $10 to spend in the donation store.

Judging
Judging will be based on Creativity, Visuals and Difficulty.
Your designated Judges are xDeeKay, Lissy421 and Tobieias.

Any questions? Feel free to ask them below. Good luck!

I thought you would've said that lmao!

In all due respect though, the shop seasons and having someone handle the shops on a relatively active basis is a really good idea, and I also think it would work out really well, it's not such a big change to how things are done right now and it means the economy would have a new fresh style. I love the cycle idea of bringing some more obscure items for a higher sale margin. I'd enjoy this idea and so would many others if it were implemented into our economy structure. I would also be up for Handling the shop prices and items that would be slightly changed in price.

Thanks for the suggestion Matty   (:

This Idea has been proposed in the past by a number of people. Personally I don't see it necessary for the server to have this feature added as we've gone for years now without it and things have gone fine without the additional plugin, also the way money and trading is used in-game works perfectly fine as it is. Players trade with each other or have the option to go directly to the /warp shops and I see no problem in how this setup works. I remember deekay stating in the past that he doesn't want the server to stray too far from a vanilla-style server than it already is - Which I totally agree with.
With the mending book situation, players on the server already have villagers with the mending book trade. (I myself have one and would be more than happy to trade mending books with you)

Sorry to see you go. You did a great job! Hopefully we'll see you around.
