Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

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

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

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.

I thank you as always for reading a respecting the rules we put in place for them, this challenge will end on the 3rd of march.

Mini Builders: Farm Warz – Closed

Posted in Kids, Mini Builders | Leave a comment

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.

Mini Builders: Christmas Theme – CLOSED

Posted in Kids, Mini Builders | Leave a comment

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!

Mini Builders: Hotel – CLOSED

Posted in Kids, Mini Builders | Leave a comment

Hello all,

Today sees the launch of our second mini builders challenge. Once again, I ask you to read through these rules with your child so they are clear on the rules.

This challenge will be a decorating challenge. We have been working all weekend building a hotel at the mini builder’s sites, and your children’s job will be to decorate a room.

This time around, there will be a total of four winners :
Best room in age group 5-10
Best room in age group 11-16
Best hallway (On each floor there are two rooms; in between the two rooms is a hallway, and a bonus prize will be given to the pair with the best hallway.

Rules:

On arrival to Mini Builders, your child MUST SHOUT the secret password which is, “What color is creeper poo?” In doing so, they will get to choose a room and must place a sign above the front door.

Your child will now have access to a kids only vault with basic supplies. As with the previous challenge, we ask for your children to NOT bring their own supplies. Mini Builders has grown a great deal, and there may be no wood in the vault, but there are axes and a tree farm.

Children must NOT take any of the supplies off site; all supplies are to only be used for Mini Builders.

Children are only allowed one room each.

They can remove and replace any cobblestone but must not remove the red brick or glass windows.

Last rule: The same as before, this is not a race, and there will be two weeks to complete this challenge. Tt will end on December 16th.

If you or your child is unclear on anything, feel free to ask.

Mini Builders : Challenge 2
I am happy to announce the two winners of this challenge.
Congratulation to Huntersilly (Jenn) for winning the best room design and to Cat_grl (Amanda) for best lobby.

They will both be receiving a special (real life) prize from me, which should be with you in the next couple of weeks.

All of the children have a gift package for taking part; they just need to speak to an admin or Shirra to receive their gift.

Welcome to Mini Builders

Posted in Kids, Mini Builders | Leave a comment

For those who don’t know, I am the creator and Admin behind our Mini Builders challenge.

Mini builders was a simple concept; we as a server hold many games nights, but some are too late for our little ones to join in. The solution was to create a challenge designed just for them.

One of the things I noticed when becoming an admin was how different the children play Minecraft than adults. An adult will easily set themselves goals. “Today I will mine,” or “Today I will gather resources to build a house.” Children’s minds don’t quite work like that; they will picture a build in their mind but will not always want to spend hours collecting wood and stone to build it. Sometimes they simply do not have the time to do this with school and homework. I also learned some children just don’t know simple crafting recipes; this sparked the creation of the GMM School, a place where any child can learn any crafting recipe.

So the First Mini Builders challenge was born. With all I had seen and learned in mind, I set a house building challenge. The children were given a storage hut filled with supplies and a 20×20 plot to build on. What followed shocked us all. Without the hassle of collecting resources, the children could just create and build with no restraint on their creativity.

If fantastic builds were not enough, they shocked us one more time; the children, between themselves, grew their very own community in their very own corner of the server. It turned out, with a little encouragement, the children grew, planted, and mined all the resources they would need for the next challenge, and we hadn’t even confirmed there would be another.

But now we are starting Challenge 2, “Interior Design.” With help from the server community, a hotel was built, and now the children each have a room to design. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.

If your Mini Builders are wanting to join in, head over to our Facebook page and check out the rules for entry.

Thanks for reading,

Molly360
