Good morning, afternoon or evening.

Today we start what could be one of my favourite Mini Builders challenges “build a Boat”.

I have to thank Amanda, Chris, Ashley and Orey for this one and there help in building it.

Now this challenge is nice and easy, simply build a boat and the best 3 will win some in game goodies.

As always there are some rules, and we ask if you can read through these with your children before they start the challenge.

RULES:

A Dock has been created with one slot per mini builder, their boat must not go beyond the boarders

2014-02-17_10.02.15

We ask they only use supplies from the Mini Builders vault and not bring any of their own supplies

2014-02-17_10.00.31

We have added more supplies this round to make it a bit more fun for them (please tell them this).

Please do not whisper the password to any other child (we have powers to check up on them so don’t do it) to get the password fill in and agree to the blue box below and the password will be given.

Lastly (and this is the best rule) Have Fun! The children will be able to see some examples already built by the admin which they are free to explore and play in.

Hello All,

Today sees the launch of our Mini Market building challenge, I know the kids have been itching for a new building one and here it is for them.

Before I start, I would like to Thank one of our players: Aurakiel is the person behind the idea and building of this challenge and I owe her a great deal of thanks as the Market looks amazing and is only going to get better when the kids add to it.

Right down to the nitty Gritty!

2014-01-17_18.25.26.

The challenge

Situated at the end of Kidz Street a new market has been built, it contains 20 15×15 plots for your children to build their own working shop.

2014-01-17_18.31.37

When this challenge is over a CB will be set up for others on the server to use and visit the children’s very own market.

The Rules.

The shop May only sell items that can be harvested from Mini builders, but not from the vault! IE: If they want to set up a leather shop, this would be fine as long as they are breeding and killing the cows themselves and not selling the leather from the vault.

There may be duplicated shops; if every child wants to build a wool shop this is fine.

They may only build ONE shop.

They MUST have a full pricing list in their shop, whether it be signs or books.

To enter this challenge the password must be whispered to an Admin, Shirra_Digger or Aurakiel

Their shop MUST be stocked! If they are selling wool we want to see 1 chest full; if they are selling nether rack we want to see a chest full!

Lastly, I know I say this every time, but it’s not a race there will be 2 weeks to finish this challenge and it ends on the 1st of February.

Good luck!

The Some Awesome Minecraft group is hosting a SkyBlock Challenge for the members of our server. We’ve made a custom multiplayer SkyBlock map so every team will have their own island to work on. The challenge will take place Jan 6th through Jan 20th.

What is SkyBlock?
SkyBlock is a floating island survival map created by Noobcrew. You’ll start off with the most basic supplies and must find a way to survive and complete all the challenges possible (and they are possible). We will be using the 1.0 version for this challenge with some additional goals made possible with the updates made since the map was created.

skyblock-inventory

Rules:
Teams can be 1-3 players (each person on their team will have a personalized command block directing them to their SkyBlock)
Note: some achievements must be met per each player on your team. Example: 3 team members means 3 beds, full set of tools for each player otherwise only one person on the team wins the prize. The team may choose whom.
Do not purposely jump off the island to regenerate your health.
Do not make a bridge to the mainland or to neighboring islands (bridging to a neighbor’s island is grounds for disqualification).

If you somehow appear on another players island, jump off their island to go back to spawn.
Do not build more than 45 blocks from your own island (to avoid crossing into a neighbor’s territory)
There are anvils and an enchanting table with bookcases available at spawn for community use.  Do not remove any of these from spawn. Doing so will result in disqualification.

To ensure that everyone receives the same amount of materials to begin the challenge with, instead of a pre-grown tree on each island there will be 6 logs and 1 sapling in each chest.
Players must be whitelisted and assigned to a Skyblock.

Note: Keep Inventory is enabled

Prizes:

1st Place: Steam games from the community gift library retail value of $30 to distributed among the team. Each member of the team receives one in game item of their choice.
2nd Place: Steam games from the community gift library retail value of $15 to distributed among the team. Each member of the team receives one in game item of their choice.
3rd Place: Steam games from the community gift library retail value of $10 to distributed among the team. Each member of the team receives one in game item of their choice.

All right, parents, this is a complicated one, and it is very important this is read with your children!

I have set up two farms at Mini Builders, creating a red team and a blue team. This challenge is a little like sky block but a lot more child friendly.   😉

Each farm has a starter kit, and the goal over a two week period is to farm as much as they can.  Everything they make and farm has points, and the team with the most points will win at the end.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!

If your child would like to join, they must fill out the form at the bottom of this post, at which point they will receive their password. They must shout the password in the in-game chat in order to join. Then, they will have a dispenser pick their team.

After this, they will get a Command Block to their farm.

THIS IS A SPECIAL COMMAND BLOCK. NOT ONLY WILL IT TELEPORT THEM, BUT IT WILL ALSO REMOVE EVERYTHING IN THEIR INVENTORY, INCLUDING ARMOR!

It is very important that they empty their pockets before going to the farm and returning back from the farm.

FARM RULES

  • They cannot build out, but they can build up.
  • They must not destroy any clay.
  • They must not pass the password on to any other child.
  • They must not destroy the already made barn.

 

Remember this is a team challenge!

The winning team will either get a full set of diamond armor OR diamond tools.

The team in second will get the same in iron.

Hello all! Today we launch the first Mini-Builders Christmas-themed build!

Please read through these rules with your child(ren).

What is your Mini Builder’s favorite thing about the Holiday Season? Is it a tree lit up or lots of presents? Is it spending time in the snow with family and friends? Is it waiting for Santa to come and deliver presents?

There are 21 plot sites around a huge Christmas tree at the Mini Builders site!

For this build, there will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner. First place gets a special prize from Molly360.

 

Rules: 

Once your child arrives at Mini Builders, they MUST *WHISPER* to an admin or Shirra_Digger the password: “You’re a mean one, Mr. Enderman!”

/w shirra_digger You’re a mean one, Mr. Enderman!”

Upon acceptance of the password, your child(ren) will get to pick a plot. They will put their name on the empty sign next to the plot number.

All children will be provided with a tree to decorate. If they do not wish to decorate the tree in their plot, they are welcome to chop it down.

Your child has access to the Kids Only vault. We ask the kids not bring their own supplies but use what is at the Mini Builder site. Children must NOT take any of the supplies off site; all supplies are to only be used for Mini Builders.

There are snowmen at each gate. Do not harm the snowmen. They are there for your enjoyment and snow collection needs. If anything happens to a snowman, let Molly360 or Shirra_Digger know so he can be replaced.

Children are only allowed one plot each, and please, NO sharing plots.

Children are allowed to remove the grass in their plot but not the green wool or the red clay road.

Last rule: The same as before, this is not a race, and there will be over two weeks to complete this challenge. Starting Friday, December 20th, 2013 and ending Wednesday, January 6th, 2014. If you or your child(ren) are unclear about any of these rules, feel free to ask!
