⚒️Build Contest & Updates

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

🪔Build Contest: Shrine

A holy place made to worship the divine. Many deities have recently touched our world; what do you worship?

• 📅Due Date: Monday, June 16, 2025 1:59 AM (in your local time)

  • This event is also listed on the calendar, for those interested.

• ✏️Prize & Submission Info: See ⁠⚒ Build Contest Overview

• 🏆Special Prize: The top 3 entrants will receive +1 Charm slot and a unique charm themed to a Greek deity.

  • This charm will be released widely in the future, but these winners get first dibs.

📝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.

📚Contest Reminder & General Updates

Hey again everyone. Another week gone! We've had 8 enchant discoveries so far. It's been great to see everyone's theories about what's to come. Time for a quick reminder and to summarize the main updates from the past week!

🔭 Build Contest Reminder

Reminder that there are just over 48 hours left in the Observatory build contest, and that the top 3 entrants get 2 Boundary Fragments. Good luck!

📝General Updates

• 💎 Valor & Trials:

  • Added a new Silence Tonic (seen below) to the Artifact Trader for a water bottle and Rune of Echoes. Use one on an entity to silence it. Each has two uses.

• 📖 Lexicon:

  • Added `/lexicon by_rune <rune>` to view all enchants whose recipes use the rune. This replaces the list in each `/rune` entry.

• 🪄 Enchantment adjustments:

  • Buffed the hunger/saturation restored by Taste Test.

  • Added rooted dirt and gravel as low-value transmutables for Transmuting shovels.
