Minecraft Servers
DS9 map art build contest
What can I say besides WOW?! The time for judging has come and gone and I must say I am FLOORED with the entries folks submitted to the contest! There was so many fantastic pieces it was hard for Joe, guest judge Sfé R. Monster, and myself to pick who won each category!
After much deliberating we managed to select the winners, so I would like to congratulate the first place winners of each category as well as provide a screenshot of their submission here in the newsletter!
Refined Team, First Place
Congratulations to our only team submission, Kindalas and StellarSpider for “Blackest Black”!
Retro, First Place
Congratulations to DottyMatrix for “Tag – You’re It”!
Refined, First Place
Congratulations to MagentaAvocado for “Hang em High”!
Really Big, First Place
Congratulations to Mallora for “Deviations”!
There are other placements and submissions as well available for viewing at the gallery, you can come visit at The Defiant or you can watch as we viewed the pieces from this VOD:
June Everstorm closes
No obituaries to report, phew!
The survivors of last month’s Everstorm share these final reports:
- Laxmi13 survived despite running away from several rainbow captain mobs.
- Magenta enjoyed the wonders of 1.20 for the first time and made a lil home
- MJ played it safe and ran away when a mob captain spawned. And then sailed away on a paraglider never to be seen again!
July Everstorm opens
Our first direct democracy Everstorm is here! Sorry for the delay in getting it open, the map art judging took longer than expected! Folks voted for what the server would have, and we obliged!
You can expect this month’s Everstorm to have server side mods that add new biomes and structures, as well as a datapack that changes the loot tables to be random! Which means when you break a block you’ll get something different from what you expect.
You can check out the details and play yourself, how have people fared so far?
- Centuritron got blown up by creeper while exploring the random drops
