Minecraft Creator Summit pushes start of Wednesday craft stream 15 minutes late
ZombieCleo, JaneyLaney, and I are all excited to stream some crafts this Wednesday morning!
However, we also are all slated to attend the Minecraft Creator Summit that day, and their schedule just hit our inboxes with a surprise that the first session ends shortly after our craft stream was set to begin.
As such, we’ll be starting the craft stream at 8:45am US Central instead of our customary 8:30am.
Thanks for your understanding and see you Wednesday!
Weekly Pinball FX3 Challenge
Thanks to SamiHiggins again for organizing the return of our weekly Pinball FX3 tournaments! We had four folks compete in this round, but I’m optimistic that once the Steam Summer Sale rolls in and folks can pick up the tables cheaper, we’ll see even more!

Minecraft Server Updates
Deep Slate Nine
WorldBorder expanded
The WorldBorder has been re-centered and expanded to the East, South, and West! How far does it go? It’s a mystery left to the imagination and to the intrepid explorers who enjoy me pushing boundaries.
B’hala expeditions begin
Twelve teams have begun creating their outposts around the mysterious Ancient City of B’hala!
I’ve been excited to see folks working together with their teams and the teams around them to determine how best to break ground on their areas.
Vanillish server launching soon
This week, I’ll be setting up a test versions of the Vanillish 1.19 server with all the data packs Yirggzmb requested.
I don’t want to promise a particular date until we verify 1.19 compatibility for everything, but if everything works as expected, we hope to launch as soon as sometime this week.
Everstorm
The Everstorm Server is resetting this Friday, June 17th, with new game rules from ToxxicGlitter!
Keep an eye on the #everstorm-june-2022 channel for details, and enjoy the May server while it lasts! Thanks again to Yirggzmb for setting that up!
