MiniBuilders Summer 2015 – Car Challenge

Posted in Kids, Mini Builders, Special Events | Leave a comment

I am not quite sure where the month of July went but with August upon us. Thank you to all that participated in our last MiniBuilders challange on NuNu.  Congrats to the winners, all that participated and all the judges who helped.  August’s challenge brings us to Main (ma.gmmc.me).  We have many MiniBuilders’ builds on this server and this challenge will be in MiniCity. MiniCity originated with last summer’s Sandbox Challenge.  Feel free to visit and check out the great work from last year.

The car challenge will run from August 10-August 24th. Here are some rules you must follow:

  1. One vehicle plot in the garage per child
  2. Do not tamper with another mini builder’s vehicle, this will disqualify you.
  3. Do not explore past the Mini City’s area.
  4. All materials are not supplied and must be acquired. See note below for more information.
  5. Adults may visit the Mini Builder’s area but they are NOT allowed to help.

As a reminder since we have not had a build challenge on main for quite some time:

  1. We are using the Bank at Mini Builders. There is a CB to and from Mini Builders and Mini City for easy access.  If you do not have an assigned vault, you will be assigned one upon signing up below.
  2. All materials used for challenges will be acquired supplies. This means that all materials used for challenges must be obtained from mining, collecting or chosen from the Mini Builders’ Vault. As a reminder, you may not ask for the vault to be filled. Meaning, if someone was kind enough to drop off a chest of cobblestone to the Mini Builders vault, that is wonderful. But if that chest is empty, it is now time to visit the Mini Builders’ mine!
  3. Reminder there is  a Mini Builders’ garden, tree farm and animal farm at Mini Builders (not Mini City). This should help fill up those vaults and keep you well fed during the challenge.

So, you may be asking yourself, what do I do now? If you are a mini builder, take note of the following:

  1. Sign up for the Mini Builders’ Car Challenge below and you will be assigned a vault.
  2. Note that the Car Challenge starts on August 10. Do not build yet!
  3. Start gathering supplies for the car challenge.

If you are NOT a mini builder:

  1. Consider donating the supplies you acquired to the Mini City’s storage area, you will TP right into it.
  2. Invite your kids or your friends or your friends’ kids to join us for our car challenge. Send them to the server rules to get them set up and have their kids’ sign up below.

To access the Mini City’ area, take the Mini City’ CB from the community floor (basement). The MB’s CBs are located to the right. Follow the stop light banners until you have arrived at the garage.

What are the prizes for the car challenge?

1st Place: 3 enchanted books of their choosing plus a special set of diamond armor
2nd Place: 2 enchanted book books of their choosing plus a special set of iron armor
3rd Place: 1 enchanted book of their choosing plus a special set of gold armor
Every child will get a prize for participating!

Happy Minecrafting! As a reminder, please sign up with the mini builder’s IGN below, not the adult’s. This is a challenge for the children of the server and we will use the IGN as a sign up for the vault as well so it must be case sensitive. This is a fun challenge, not a speed challenge. The number one goal is to have fun and maybe make a new friend!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Posted in Servers, Special Events | Leave a comment

On April 6, 2013 Serverus and I opened our little private family server to our online community. We hosted it from one of our home computers and were very pleased when we would see people log on. It was slow at first, a “busy” day meant having 8 people log on, but now our whitelist contains over 500 IGNs. With the Minecraft group being one of the most interactive and engaging groups we’ve been a part of, our humble little home has become a community of Awesome!

To celebrate our 2nd anniversary we will be bringing you home! Yes friends, the “Main” server is coming back. Permanently! As if that weren’t enough we’ve decided to give you a sweet homecoming gift as well. We’re bringing back the command of the week starting with everybody’s favorite: REPAIR!

Don’t worry Nu Nu, we haven’t forgotten you! For our newer members who call Nu Nu home and are not yet familiar with Main, we want you to enjoy this milestone with us, so we’re giving you REPAIR too! For one week everyone will be able to fix your tools, armor, and weapons simply by holding them in your hand and typing the command:

/repair

into the chat. Your items will revert back to 100% durability. Take advantage while you can, it’s only temporary, but don’t worry, we’ll bring it back again…eventually 😉

New changes to the old server…

Some things to remember about Main. Mob griefing is off so creepers will not do damage when they explode, endermen won’t steal your blocks, zombies won’t break down doors, and keep inventory is on. While all of that is great, keep in mind that diamonds are rare on this server, but we still have the bank if you’d like to exchange other blocks for them.

Another point of mention is that if you previously had creative access on this server, that will no longer be available to you. We have not completely removed the possibility of it though. You may apply for creative permissions on the Main server only if you have met all of the requirements. Please send your new request to us via the Contact Form. We will need to know what project you are working on, and how long you expect the project to take. You may not request creative to tackle an ocean monument. 😉 If we grant you permission to use creative and we find that you are abusing this power disciplinary action will be taken, including and up to removal from the servers depending on the severity of the abuse.

Bringing back the Main server is a long awaited and an exciting homecoming for some players, but even if you weren’t part of our group since the beginning there is still plenty of reason to log on and visit the original birth place of our community. Visit the original market’s Tour Shop and “Oooh” and “Ahhh” at some of our amazing builds!

 

Welcome home everyone!
