It’s April already, and time for Easter! I know, I can’t believe it either. Between schooling-at-home and a total lack of routine I hardly know what day it is anymore.  Even though we’ve continued holidays on the server, I haven’t been posting about them on the site so let’s try to get back into a routine.

If you’ve never participated in an Egg hunt before let me explain how it works. Back when we started this event years ago, Minecraft didn’t have colored eggs, or even colored egg (head) blocks.  However, player head blocks were available so we hid those instead. Everyone seemed to enjoy their collection of player heads either for personal collections or for trading like Pokemon cards, the event has always been a fun success!

The admins have designated an area for the event and hidden the “eggs” all around the island for players to find. The command block will be open during our Monday night stream. In the meantime, the holiday area is open! Come visit the Easter Bunny and be sure to bring him carrots for trading (although there are some available).

And don’t forget to take your picture with the Easter Bunny! Post your screenshots in the group for our memory album!

On an additional note, we know everyone is going through so much lately. We hope all of our friends and neighbors are staying healthy and safe! We’re all in this together! If you’re having a hard time staying entertained with Minecraft, don’t forget to join our 7 Days to Die or Animal Crossing: New Horizons groups if you’re looking for new games to occupy your time.  They’ve been saving my sanity through all this isolation. Hopefully they’ll do the same for you!

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!

Here at Some Awesome Minecraft, we like to do things a little different for our Easter celebrations. While we still decorate for the holiday with cute bunnies, chicks, and pastel colors, our Easter “Egg” Hunt is rather special.

(Time zone conversions: 11:30am PDT / 12:30pm MDT / 1:30pm CDT / 2:30pm EDT / 6:30pm UK) 

The Colosseum is currently closed, but will re-open at the time of the Event.

The admins will be hiding a variety of player & decorative heads around the Colosseum for you to hunt down & collect.

Whoever finds either the ToRiMiLi, Serverus, or the SomeAwesome head will get a special prize book that they can turn in for 35 XP Levels!   (Each *of these 3* heads will earn a prize separately, you do not need the full set.) There is only 1 of each of these heads hidden, so show an admin when you find it to receive your prize book! (Only 1 prize will be awarded per head – whoever finds it first gets the prize.)
