Halloween 2017

Posted in Holidays, NuNu | Leave a comment

Happy Halloween everyone! If you’re new to the server there’s lots for you to see during Halloween!

First, stop by the holiday area for your holiday collector’s map made by our super awesome Crazy Map Ladies, and grab some spooky new holiday banners.

Then go visit Jack Skellington in the Costume Shop where you can purchase special Halloween masks to dress up for the holiday!

Next, head inside the Great Pumpkin (Charlie Brown) for the command blocks to visit our special Halloween areas.

We’ll begin with our Halloween maze run. Get through it’s multiple complicated levels and win yourself a zombie horse.

 

Then go out and Trick-or-Treat in the surrounding neighborhood. Be careful though, not all the neighbors are nice! Be sure to pack yourself some food, and weapons.


Be sure to stop by and check out our Nightmare Before Christmas themed community build. If you have a contribution feel free to add it!

We will host two events to celebrate Halloween this year. Wednesday, Nov 1st at 9pm EDT and a repeat event on Sunday, Nov 5th at 12pm EDT. You are able to win two zombie horses if you attend both events. Join our app for reminders about the event.

Happy Father’s Day!

Posted in Holidays | Leave a comment

Happy Father’s Day to our favorite gamer dads! We’ve got a special holiday area dedicated to you this year!

As a work from home dad Serverus doesn’t get a lot of quiet time. So instead of the the tradition of spending all day with your kids (which he does every day), he enjoys Father’s Day OFF. While I occupy the kids, he gets to enjoy some gaming on his own without the constant nagging from the offspring. With gaming in mind, we’ve decided to create a classic gaming holiday area for you!

Click the button on your way in to the maze to spawn the ghosts Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. They’re guaranteed to drop a very special power pellet if you can catch them before they catch you.

(Luckily for you they are a bit distracted by the villager at first, but he’s safe from their grasp. Once they target you they’ll be after you. And be warned, Keep Inventory is OFF).

Make your way to the mid section of the maze to visit our holiday villager and pick up your collector’s map courtesy of _Ayana_ from our Crazy Map Ladies!
Note: you do not need to spawn the ghosts to get your holiday souvenirs, they just add a bit of adventure and an additional prize. 

In honor of the maze there is an additional Pac Man map…

and so that no dad feels left out, we have the kids drawing for Dad courtesy of clumsypixie.

However you choose to spend Father’s Day we hope it’s a great one!

<3,
Your Admin Team

It’s Memorial Day this weekend and we’d like to invite you to our Memorial Day barbecue! Serverus has parked his food truck in the holiday area and is throwing some hamburgers on the grill for the occasion.

Don’t forget to grab your holiday collector’s map courtesy of Caffryn from our Crazy Map ladies!

Show your patriotic pride with an American Flag!

We love to have fun with the holidays on the server, but it is important to appreciate what Memorial Day is all about. Take a moment to remember everyone who gave their lives for all the freedoms we enjoy today.

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!

Birthdays!

Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment

You may have noticed we love holidays on our server, and birthdays are no different! Since we have so many new neighbors I thought it would be a good time to go over our birthday policy.

Our old birthday doc is so out of date we have started a new one here. All you have to do to sign up is post in the comments the month and date (mm/dd), your in-game name, your real name. If you are posting for your child comment with their IGN and your name so we know who to tag.

Ex: 11/19: ToRiMiLi – Tonya Morris
Ex: 06/07: LinkMo – (Mom: Tonya Morris)

Even if you signed up on the old doc, we will not be using it anymore so be sure to sign up again on the new one.

Now for the good part. On your birthday we will post a birthday announcement in the group, and on the server you will be gifted a backpack which is extra inventory space. It also acts as a “keep inventory” space so you won’t lose anything should you have a fatal accident in-game. What’s even better is that if you have shulker boxes you can keep them inside with all their contents which gives you even more space!

If you already have a backpack from a past birthday or special event you will receive an additional row, up to six total.

Birthday Gifts!

Inside your backpack on your birthday you will receive a set of power tools (pick and shovel breaks blocks in a 3×3 grid rather than 1×1), a special edition birthday map (different every year), a book that is good for 30XP, a wish item, and a special cake that can be used as a weapon!

 

Your wish item could be anything from the creative menu including a shulker box, or totem of undying, but you could also request an additional row for your backpack, an extra power tool, an additional set of command blocks (NEW!), or a piece of our new OP birthday armor!

And if you’re not sure what to use your book on, or you’re waiting for a special item in an upcoming update, then just hang on to it. They won’t ever expire. However they are not interchangeable so please do not try to give them to anyone else.

Just a little something to make your birthday that much more special from your admins at Some Awesome Minecraft!
