Then head over to the Death Star for a a special parkor and drop course!

Keep Inventory will be on for the day so you won’t lose your stuff if you die in the fall, but don’t get used to it, it’s going back to default on the 5th.

If you get past the course get your “Star Wars Tee” from an admin to trade to Darth vader for your prize.

If pixel art is more your speed, hop outside and build some Star Wars themed art around the island.

Have a great Star Wars day everyone, and as always, may the force be with you!

Troll Day!

We hope everyone has been enjoying I Disguise this week. It’s been fun watching all the animals running around working on their builds. We’ve had so much fun we decided to turn it up a bit, so this weekend let’s have some real fun.

From the server restart Saturday AM to the restart Sunday PM all players will be able to disguise themselves at hostile mobs too, but here’s the fun part because be warned, PVP will also be enabled this weekend. So if you’re thinking of running up behind someone as a creeper to scare them, there may be deadly consequences.

Of course we’re not totally heartless so Keep Inventory will also be enabled this weekend because even though we might laugh if someone kills you, we wouldn’t want you to lose your stuff.

Of course not everyone likes PVP and we understand that so here’s the rule, you may NOT run up and kill undisguised players or those disguised as friendly mobs. You can scare them, but they can defend.

Here is the list of all the additional (hostile) mobs you can disguise yourself as:
blaze
cave_spider
creeper
elder_guardian
ender_dragon
enderman
endermite
evoker
ghast
guardian
husk
magma_cube
pig_zombie
shulker
silverfish
skeletal_horse
skeleton
slime
spider
undead_horse
vex
vindicator
witch
wither
wither_skeleton
zombie
zombie_villager
ender_crystal

Have a fun weekend everyone!

Earth Day 2017

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Earth Day is our annual reminder to take better care of our planet. Less litter, more awareness! But in Minecraft we don’t think about it because it is after all, a virtual world.

Thanks to our friend Lisa (AmzDeoris), we decided a couple years ago to bring awareness to this world we all love so much! How do we do that? By protecting Mother Minecraft!

From the server restart at midnight April 22 until midnight April 23 you will not be able to break any natural blocks. No wood logs, no stone, no dirt, nor sand. Anything that is generated naturally you will not be able to break. It’s a fun (albeit a bit frustrating) reminder of how easy it is to take nature for granted, and maybe remind us to carry some of that consciousness back to the real world.

You may be asking, “So what will I do all day then? Remember the 3 Rs. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

We’ve got the Reduce covered, so let’s work on Reuse. You can still build, break, and destroy crafted blocks so make that new build out of blocks you already have.

Recycle those blocks you don’t want or need anymore by donating them to your team vaults. I know those chests have been looking bare and you’ll need them for team events.

As usual, don’t forget to drop by our holiday area for your holiday souvenirs from Mother Earth, and pick up your holiday collector’s map made by _Ayana_ and KismetFoxfire from our Crazy Map Ladies! Thank you again ladies for a beautiful map!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Plant a tree and show her you care!

Easter 2017

Posted in Holidays | Leave a comment

Easter is almost here so it’s time for our annual Easter Head Hunt!

For those who are new let me explain the idea behind the “head hunt” which sounds totally morbid, but really is a lot of fun. We’ve considered using mob spawn eggs in the past, but with mob griefing a concern on NuNu we don’t want anyone accidentally blowing up a community building or neighbors property. Unfortunately dying eggs on Minecraft isn’t a thing yet either, and aside from putting them in chests or hanging in items frames we can’t really hide them so we’ve had to improvise. We’ve done this event for several years and everyone always loves to find and trade the heads they find.

This year we’ll be hosting on NuNu in the new Villager Mall. Run and explore the new building while looking for all your neighbors special head blocks, and several other fun heads to collect. We used the names of players who have signed up on the birthday doc so if you would like your head to be hidden also you still have time to sign up (make sure your name is case sensitive and spelled exactly as your gamer tag or your head won’t match your skin).

The holiday area is open now and will be until Monday, April 17th. Don’t forget to visit the holiday villagers, the Easter Bunny, and the Easter Buddy for your holiday treats!

and pick up your holiday collectors map courtesy of KismetFoxFire of our Crazy Map Ladies! As always, thank you for the beautiful map!

We’ll see you Friday, April 14th at 8pm EST on NuNu. All players must be whitelisted to play.

Happy Easter!

Villager Mall

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

We’ve all been there, you’re completely tuned in to a build you’re working on and you run out of supplies. You can either stop to go mine more, or stop by our server market areas to put in a request for what you need. The problem is, more often than not, the player who owns the shop may not be online when you need them, or they themselves need to mine the supplies for your order which can also take time you’d rather spend building. We believe we have found the perfect solution!

Introducing the new Villager Mall!

The Villager Mall is your one stop shop for everything Minecraft! No more tagging players in the group if you need to place an order. Thanks to our recent XP bottling system you simply go to the shop you need and trade with the villager in charge.

The beauty of this project is that it’s still community based. We need you guys to pick the themes and design the shops. You will supply the materials to decorate the store and come up with the price list (although admins will help with that if you are unsure what should be charged). F or doing so the villager will be modeled after you (have your player head), and a payment of one stack of XP bottles (equals approximately 40 levels). Afterwards the shops will be completely self sufficient. You will not be supplying materials, filling orders, or collecting payments. The villager will do it all. This ensures that whenever you need something, the shop owner will be available to supply as much as you need right then!

Shops are filling up fast so get your ideas in! There is a drop box for shop themes located in the basement of the command tower. Drop your idea in the hopper for admin approval while shops are still available. We are not opposed to multiple shops selling the same item if it goes along with their theme, but duplicate items will be priced the same in each shop.

Bottling your XP is easy and the command to do so is located at the service desk in the center of the mall, and posted at various locations within.

There is also a food court available which may help you get that new advancement “A Balanced Diet”. The villagers will no longer be taking cobblestone as we have switched to the new xp system, but if you are looking to get rid of all that extra cobble the Food Truck Villagers are still happy to serve you.

Thank you everyone for all your help making this such a fun build and community project. The shops look great and the idea has been positively received by all. Great team work!
