📚Contest Winners and Clarification

Hey again everyone. Time to announce the winners of the Greenhouse contest, and one clarification regarding the Parkour Rush.

🪴Greenhouse: Build Contest Winners

• 🥇1st Place: @Starmarsh™, @J_, and @໓คriค! Your warp is set as Rafflesia, as requested.

• 🥈2nd Place: @J1mbers, @Krashafa, and @ElectricSparx! I've set your warp as SerraLontana, but LMK if you want it changed!

• 🥉3rd Place: A tie!

  • @Hollow and @jpguitar27! Your warp is set as Eden, as requested.

  • @Maidl, @TroyTheCrafter, and @Shotdown01! Your warp is set as Greenhouse4, though feel free to request a rename!

Thanks so much to the submitters. We've done the prizes a bit differently this time, using voucher items to redeem your silver, Trial points, and/or charm slot. These vouchers are in the reward bundles, which are in your ender chest, or in your inventory if your ender chest is full.

‼️Parkour Rush Notice

Just wanted to make something clear about the Parkour Rush now that it's over - the loot chest reset from the rush is permanent, not just for the rush. If you've already beaten any parkours, you can now go beat them again whenever you feel like it! Only catch is Raceway won't give a charm slot again. Apologies that this was unclear.

📝General Updates

Hey everyone, just a few quick general updates.

• ⬆️We plan to update to 1.21.7 within the next day or two. Get your updated clients ready!

  • Note that saddles will be removed from the shop when we do this, as they are now craftable. Sell any you have off now if you'd like!

• 🌍The resource world has received a few updates

  • Biome warps now generate with more randomness, and the warp names are now more generic. For example. "ResCold" warps to a semi-random cold biome, like frozen peaks, and "ResForest" warps to a random large forest, like jungles or dark forests. The desert warp is still a mainstay.

  • Warps should be much more likely to generate further apart from each other.

  • This is experimental, so let us know what you think of the general idea!

• 🌏Your creative world inventory now persists between visits.

• 😴Insomnia no longer resets if you die in non-survival scenarios.

• 🍯Signs can now be unwaxed by right-clicking with an axe. This returns the honeycomb 50% of the time.

• 🛡️Impetus of Athena effects are rebalanced. Warfare attacks now damage in a cone, while ambush only empowers the attack used to exit stealth, so it is now single-target, but it temporarily shreds 50% of their armor. Stare additionally costs +1 Aegis versus players.

• 🗓️Reminder that the Greenhouse build contest is due next weekend, and that you can submit entries as early as you'd like!

Please leave feedback on any changes in ⁠💌feedback-and-suggestions, thanks🫶

📚Contest Winners and General Updates

Hey again everyone. Time to announce the winners of our Shrine contest, and one quick general update for an important fix.

🪔Shrine: Build Contest Winners

This one was very interesting! We had many extremely competitive entries, leading to multiple ties. Sometimes, ties at higher placements can push out lower placements, but to celebrate how great the entries were, we're awarding all entries at the top 3 scoring brackets. These winning entries all averaged a score of at least 8.5 out of 10 across judges - all well deserving of the awards, IMO, so great work!

• 1st Place: A tie!

  • @Starmarsh™, @J_, and @໓คriค! Your warp is set as Shrine1.

  • @nate! Your warp is set as Shrine2.

• 2nd Place: Another tie!

  • @J1mbers! Your warp is set as Shrine3.

  • @Maidl, @TroyTheCrafter, @Shotdown01, and @Hollow! Your warp is set as Shrine4.

• 3rd Place:

  • @beccc! Your warp is set as Shrine5.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered. Your prize money has been distributed (split evenly where necessary), your prize items are in a bundle in the submitter's ender chest (Star, Maidl, and ElectricSparx for the joint entries), and as usual the winners may request a free warp rename if desired.

The winners will additionally find one Sanguine Phial🩸charm per entrant in their award bundle. This charm heals you on combat exit based on the number of enemies slain. If you slayed many enemies that combat, you will additionally be granted a reward from a small loot pool - spoils of war from the god of war himself!

General Update

The crossbow form of Aphelion of Pluto should now behave properly with Bolt-action and should no longer disappear when trying to swap it while not wearing the Aphelion. Apologies for everyone this burned!

⚔️Contest Reminder, PvP Tournament, Paragons

Hey again everyone, hope you're well. We've got reminders and news about upcoming events and this map's awarded Paragons being distributed.

🪔Build Contest Reminder

Quick reminder that your build contest entries are due in less than 24 hours - submit them by Sunday, June 15, 2025 11:59 PM PST for them to be judged!

⚔️BYOG PvP Tournament

We're holding a “bring your own gear” PvP tournament next weekend, hosted by MrJoned . This event is also visible on our calendar. Most new content of course hasn't had much PvP testing, so we expect this to be a bit wacky. We'll aim to do a balance pass on some outliers this week, but please be pragmatic and just try to have fun!

• Tournament Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025 1:00 PM

• Prizes: TBD

✨Paragons

Starmarsh™ and ElectricSparx have officially received their Paragons, which I'm formally announcing here in an effort for the Paragons to be more well-known. These are unique items designed in partnership with each of them, though as usual with Paragons there's a possibility that a subdued version of one or both of these becomes generally available in the future (that's where the Runic Tome came from!)

• Following a spark of inspiration, @Starmarsh™ has engineered CoSMOS, a marvelous rebreather which can alchemically empower the wearer, mutating their physiology or injecting potions from provided reagents.,

• From deep within the Arcanum's now-corrupted lower shelves, @ElectricSparx has discovered the Eldritch Codex, a Runic Grimoire whose arcane script has been altered by the void, now casting an entirely alternate set of corrupted spells.

• We'll soon add a ‘/paragon’ command to view the existing Paragons in-game, for those curious.,

There have been other updates and bug fixes this week, though none worth taking up announcement space, and the other new content announced recently is still planned and underway. Thanks for your time and good luck completing your Shrine builds. ✌️

⚒️Build Contest & Updates

Hey everyone. Time to start our next build contest and announce a few more general updates!

📝General Updates

✏️Miscellaneous

• Fixed standard color codes (such as &9 or &n) not working in text displays.

  • Note that text displays also support hex codes, e.g. <#ff0000> for red. This isn't new, but stating for visibility.

• You are now auto-equipped with Swift Sneak V leggings in the creative world to help speed bridging while building.

  • This can be disabled with '/toggle creative_world swift_sneak' if desired.

• By popular demand, the Greater Impact mcMMO Axes skill has been disabled.

• Fixed the Potion Launcher not properly firing lingering potions.

📖Runecrafting

• Equilibrium and Adrenaline Rush should more reliably catch your health when activated, and are less likely to get you stuck in a pseudo-death state.

• Coyote Time should work as desired when sprinting down stairs or over grass/flowers.

• Disabled ability to activate Rocket Boosting by jumping while ‘/fly’ is enabled as it conflicts too much with toggling flight.

Thanks friends!🫶

⚒️Build Contest Overview

Overview

We run periodic build contests for in-game prizes. These contests have a specific, loose theme, and typically run for about 2 weeks. Entries must be built in any survival world, and are judged by staff. Ties are possible, in which case each tied submission will receive the placement full prize (e.g., if two submissions tie for first, they will both receive the full 1st Place prize).

Standard Prizes

Prizes may vary between contests, but typically follow this structure:

• 🏆Top 3: A public warp to your build and a special prize per-contest.

• 🥇1st Place: 250,000 silver and 16 Badges of Valor.

• 🥈2nd Place: 175,000 silver and 12 Badges of Valor.

• 🥉3rd Place: 100,000 silver and 8 Badges of Valor.

• 🏅Entry Prize: 25,000 silver and 2 Badges of Valor.

• Entry prizes are given to all entrants who put in sufficient effort but don't make the Top 3.

Submission Rules

• Submit your build coordinates to Simba on Discord or via in-game mail (`/mail send Mr_Simba <coordinates>`).

• You may submit your entry as soon as you'd like - it won't be judged until the due date.

• You can work with friends, and the prizes will be split evenly among you. If you do, include their names in your submission.

• You can submit something you've already built if it fits the theme.
