Builder? This Post Is For You!

As some of you know I've been playing around with a 'Secret' loot crate and have built various additions to Spawn Village and the mansion nearby. 

What you won't know is that I've also added an additional world, which we hope will act as an ever expanding world of 'explorables' such as dungeons and adventure style minigames which can be played solo or as part of a team.

The best part? I want you guys and gals to help build it!

If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of then here's what you need to know;
  • Each build will be built within its own WorldGuard region.
  • You will be given build permission to the region until the build is complete (ideally 3 weeks max), along with unlimited fly in that world.
  • Whilst working on a build you will not be able to use certain features of the world, to keep things fair.
  • You can submit ideas via email, discord or in game message, whichever you'd prefer.
  • Initially DiggyCrew will vote on which build ideas we decide to go with, eventually as the number of players grows we are likely to also use polls to help decide.
  • If you have an idea then you've got 2 options;
    • Build it in single player using the modded client and create a schematic using Schematica. Send it to me so I can take a look and put everything you need in chests so you're good to go. This is the best bet for builds that you want to tailor to the landscape, keep flexible, or that require lots of expensive materials.
    • Or... build it in the main world, then when you're ready I'll copy and paste it. Once it's in place you can make any final tweaks. This is the best bet if your build is biome specific (other than forest), as I can copy the surrounding landscape and blend it in after pasting.
  • We'll be looking for variety, so the more original the idea the more likely we'll want to use it!
  • Prizes/loot will be in the form of kits, special loot crates and in game money depending on the type of build (mainly whether it's a dungeon, minigame etc). 
  • You will get to help decide on special loot items for your build, such as a tool/weapon with specific lore.
  • Players will get to/from the 'explorables' via portals either in or around spawn or the mansion, so builds which have an obvious link would be great additions (for example a portal in the church leading to a creepy graveyard or cathedral style ruins etc).
  • Players must not be able to enter/exit the build any way other than using portals (invisible barrier blocks can be used to surround it if necessary). 
Work should begin on the first build in a week or two, so get thinking and submitting ideas, we're hoping to have two builds going on initially.

A new section will be added to the site soon with all the information above plus extra details, like what minigame functions can be added to your builds. 

I look forward to seeing your ideas!
