The event team are deciding to take a break from the summer heat to host a 4-team snowball fight, which we plan to host on Sunday July 25th at 8pm UTC. We are currently finalizing the build and plugin for this event, so please be aware this date may change if we run into issues whilst testing.

This event will have you build and defend your fort from attackers, equipped with snowballs, with the last team surviving crowned victorious. There will multiple classes to pick from, allowing you to play to your own style. The event will last a couple hours, with multiple rounds last about 30-40 minutes each. Once the event opens, you will be able to access the event through the portal in the lobby, with prizes given to anyone who participates as well as a winner’s prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our hide and seek event. To collect your prizes please go to Summit and complete the command /kit and then click the kits that you are able to claim.

If you participated in a round, participated as a seeker or won a round you are entitled to different prizes, please note that you cannot win the same prize twice.

We will consider replaying this event again soon if there is the want to do so, but this is not confirmed as of yet.

Thank you to our event team who worked on the event, this includes: GrownupDisney, Teriuihi, Kappa, Matt20003, the_amazingrat, Xenovolution, Aprilminty, Pandini, Itstolate, Xios12, Crazy4Cake, Stabba, Momlly, annapie, Chris_p_lettuce, Nicholascooper97, n0tphoenix and myself.

Our newest event is a building one! The event will remain open for the entire week and close on Monday November 30th at 9pm UTC.

The theme of this contest is “Festive Communities”; we will be looking for creative and detailed plots with a panel of the management team judging builds. To get to the plot world please go through the portal in creative’s spawn and then /plot auto to claim a nearby plot.

Please do not fly far out so we do not miss any builds. Please don’t copy others’ builds or online content, if you are found doing this then you will be disqualified, and you should follow all normal creative rules. If you worry that your build is being copied please contact us instead of confronting the player.

There will be prizes for decent attempts and the winners, who will be given their prizes after the event concludes. Note: If you want you can work together but only the plot owner will get recognition for it (they would be the one winning if that plot won).

Good Luck!

The event team are opening event team applications in order to grow the team with enthusiastic and talented builders. Event team members work together to design and develop unique events for the server, and we hope that you can help us in that process!

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally fixed up the capture the flag event and will be running it on Saturday, July 11th at 8pm UTC. Players will be split into 4 teams and siege opponents’ castles, all set within a mythical forest with jumbo bugs and super-sized vegetation. You’ll be able to battle using by a variety of custom classes so there’ll be a strategy for everyone to play to.

We apologize for the wait, but finding a solution that allowed everyone to play the event with minimal lag took us a bit. However, we think that the wait will be worth it and everyone will enjoy the event.

In order to minimize the lag, we will be hosting the event with each “round” being repeated twice. Don’t worry if you can’t get in the first round. Those in the event lobby who didn’t get in will be guaranteed a spot in the next game as long as they remain in the event lobby. For those that played in the first round, you will be given a chance to play in the second round but it will be random based on those who get through the portal the fastest. Please note that you cannot win duplicate prizes for the same round pairing.

The lobby has a few different options to keep you occupied during your downtime, and we’ll keep you updated whilst the game progresses. We thank you for your patience whilst we set this new system up!

We are excited to announce our newest event, a Capture the Flag PvP event! Players will be split into 4 teams and siege opponents’ castles, all set within a mythical forest with jumbo bugs and super-sized vegetation. You’ll be able to battle using a variety of custom classes so there’ll be a strategy for everyone to play to.

The event will take place on Saturday 30^th May, at 8pm UTC.

Today is the start of our newest build contest! Thanks for Jereth_Khan who suggested the basis for this event. The event will remain open for the whole of this week and close at Midnight UTC on Sunday.

The theme of this contest is “Springtime” and you’ll only have 1 chunk of land to make your build (you can build up as high as you’d like, though!). The builds will be judged based on creativity, use of space, and links to the theme. To get to the plot world please go through the portal in creative’s spawn and then /plot auto to claim a nearby plot. Please do not fly far out so we do not miss any builds.

Please don’t copy others’ builds or online content, if you are found doing this then you will be disqualified, and you should follow all normal creative rules. If you worry that your build is being copied please contact us instead of confronting the player. There will be prizes for decent attempts and the winners, who will be given their prizes after the event concludes.
