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!

St Patrick’s Day 2017

Posted in Holidays | Leave a comment

Happy St Patrick’s Day! The one day when every one is Irish! We’ve set up the holiday area for the occasion.

We have a few special things to celebrate this holiday. First, stop by the pub for a drink and greet the first of 3 special villagers. Visit his nearby friends for other holiday goodies as well.

Don’t forget your holiday collector’s map built by KismetFoxfire of our Crazy Map Ladies

But that’s not all, take a look around some of the decor, there may be hidden treasures awaiting.

And our final surprise, drop a named coin in the Wishing Well, and on St Patrick’s Day you will find 7 Lucky Blocks in your backpack. Be careful with these Lucky blocks, some can give your great treasure, others may be a Leprechaun trick! (Unlucky blocks may cause harm or even death) We would recommend you not placing them down near any structures, animals, or populated areas.

Due to the potential for destruction we will turn off mob griefing and fire spread and turn on keep inventory for one week to allow you safe(er) detonation. After the one week is over, place at your own risk.

Happy holiday everyone! Remember to wear green to avoid being pinched!

Chinese New Year 2017

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

 

Here is a holiday we haven’t celebrated on the server yet, Chinese New Year! The year of the Rooster!

Saturday, January 28th marks the Chinese new year. Come celebrate with us in Minecraft style. As tradition states, we will begin the celebration on Friday, January 27th (New Year’s Eve) by opening up the holiday area which will be open for Two Weeks to celebrate the longest holiday on the Chinese calendar.

Come check out the new display in our holiday area, complete with the customary dragon dance. Be sure to visit our Lucky Items holiday villager, ESPECIALLY if you were born during the Year of the Rooster, for everything you need to bring about good luck and fortune for the new year!

What is my Chinese zodiac?

Don’t forget to talk to villager “Elyntia” for traditional fireworks. Set off 3 smaller fireworks to “sound out” the old year, and 3 bigger ones to “sound in” the new year! The louder the fireworks, the better and luckier your upcoming year will be!

It is believed that praying in a Prayer Temple will bring about a smooth coming year.

Enjoy the traditional “Reunion Dinner” at our sushi bar. Enjoy the keepsakes!

Don’t forget to get your copy of our holiday collector’s map courtesy of our Crazy Map Ladies. They have done especially beautiful work this round! It was this map and its creator _Ayana_ who inspired the celebration of this holiday event.

Happy New Year everyone! May it be a prosperous one for all!

SAMC Banking

Posted in Featured Build | Leave a comment

Welcome to Featured Builds, a new segment where we will feature a different build on one or both servers. This edition will feature the SAMC Banks and their amenities.

You may have seen our extravagant bank on Main, but if you haven’t visited it recently you’re in for a surprise! It’s had a bit of a remodel and a few new added features.

Do you have too many iron ingots but what you really need are diamonds? Visit the Bank Teller ToRiMiLi who will be happy to assist you with ore exchanges. Dancingn27 will be delighted to assist you with your emerald needs, and Akumo will gladly trade you for some rare blocks including sponges!

tellers

Serverus has some unique trades for you requiring special tokens that you can only acquire from our XP shops. Through him you can buy rare items such as the Elytra, the Dragon Head, Dragon’s breath, and a new one…Dragon Eggs!

Rare Tokens: 25 XP levels
Treasure Tokens: 50 XP Levels

Note: You will also need Purpur blocks for trades with Serverus

dragon eggs

You will also notice that the vault has been reopened. Inside you will find the new XP shop where you my purchase the tokens needed for Serverus. No more unnecessary travel to three different locations in order to complete your transaction. Enchanted books will still be available at the original XP Shop, but Rare Item and Treasure Tokens can now be bought inside the bank as well.  You’re welcome!

Now those are all features we’ve already seen in the bank on Main, but what we haven’t had here until now are our Armor and Tools exchanges. We had such a positive reaction from this feature on NuNu so we’ve brought it over to the bank on Main as well. Visit one of our four new bank staff members, Elyntia, WickedCake, _Ayana_, and JP_Zilla who will be happy to trade in all those mob armor drops and old tools that have been building up that you have no idea what to do with. If you can hold out for /repair you get even more value for your trade-ins as all trades must be at 100% durability.

armor exchange

The bank on NuNu features the armor and tool trades only since ores aren’t nearly as rare over there. It is located in the Market down the East road. Just go through the village and over the bridge to find it. Rare and Treasure Tokens may also be purchased in the bank there on the lower level. Just take the stairs located next to Serverus. You will also find that he has added Dragon Eggs to his list of purchasable items on NuNu as well.

Rare Tokens: 25 XP levels
Treasure Tokens: 50 XP Levels

Note: You will also need Purpur blocks for trades with Serverus

Please enjoy, and by all means take advantage of this wonderful feature available to you on the servers.
