[BCOLOR=#ffffff]Welcome to the Create Summer Competition:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=#ffffff]Spirit of Summer![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=#ffffff]The competition will be released on Saturday 8th July [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=#ffffff]and will end on[/BCOLOR] [BCOLOR=#ffffff]Saturday 5th August. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=#ffffff]Now's your chance to put the new blocks from the Minecraft 1.12 update to the test![/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=#ffffff]« How to Enter! »[/BCOLOR]
  • To access the competition world, type [BCOLOR=#ffffff]/mvtp Summer[/BCOLOR] in-game! You can then either type /plot [BCOLOR=#ffffff]auto[/BCOLOR] to automatically claim an available plot; alternatively you can search for an unclaimed plot and type /plot claim.
  • If you feel as though you have made a mistake and would like to clear your competition plot, ask any staff member to clear it for you!
[BCOLOR=#ffffff]« Rules »[/BCOLOR]
  • You’re allowed one 128x128 plot on which to build your masterpiece!
  • You can enter into the competition alone or as part of a team. If you choose to enter as a team, the rewards will be split amongst the members of your team should you win!
  • Those who are able to use VoxelSniper are forbidden from using it for their competition build. Any use of VoxelSniper will result in a disqualification.
  • Preparation of buildings or terrain prior to the commencement of the competition is forbidden.
  • If a player assists you in any way when creating your competition entry, we shall assume that you have entered as a team; the rewards will consequently be split.
  • Most importantly of all, relax and have fun!


[BCOLOR=#ffffff]« Rewards! »[/BCOLOR]

We’ve improved the rewards system this year in order to give everyone a fairer chance of winning something! Rather than having rewards for those who place 1[sup]st[/sup], 2[sup]nd[/sup] and 3[sup]rd[/sup], we’ve decided to give rewards to three participants who place 1[sup]st[/sup], 2[sup]nd[/sup] and 3[sup]rd [/sup]in each of the following categories;

  • Novice
  • Builder & Specialist
  • Advanced Builder & Architect
Furthermore, we're awarding one 5-star Mystery box to all players who we deem to have made a good effort in building their entry throughout the course of the competition!

Q: How long will my discord role last?

A: Competition winners will receive their discord role when the competition ends & the winners are announced - it will be removed upon the commencement of our next Create Competition.

• ψ •

Q: Can I have my in-game title, nickname or custom login & logout message set to anything I want?

A: As long as it abides by the rules and does not contain offensive or profane language it should be fine!

• ψ •

Q: What are Topians and how can I use them?

A: Topians are Creates in-game currency and can be used to purchase Mystery boxes which contain cosmetic items and plots using /shop. Voting daily for Create is also an excellent way of earning Topians quickly using /vote!

• ψ •

Q: What on earth are Compmeme commands?

A: Compmeme commands are custom commands that players can use. For example you may wish to receive a command similar to /hug! You can either be the sole user of the command or you can choose to allow everyone to use it; it's entirely up to you!

Q: "Help, my friend only helped me a small amount with something on my plot, does this mean the rewards will be split?!"

A: As a rule of thumb, the rewards will indeed be split if another player has helped you with your competition entry. However, if the assistance was minimal or if the player contributed without your knowledge then we may allow you to keep your rewards should you win a prize. This is to be decided on a case by case basis.

• ψ •

Q: Can I have whatever colour I want for my custom in-game nickname and/or title?

A: Your custom in-game nickname can include any selection of colours! However, in-game titles must remain the same colour as your rank in order to ensure consistency and avoid confusion between players.

Hi, nice event you got there

Quick question about this:
If you choose to enter as a team, the rewards will be split amongst the members of your team should you win!
If your team gets first place, how will that work for custom titles/messages, like I get how you can splits 1000 topians (actually what if there is a team of 3 will they get a third of a topian each !?).

not that I will have a chance of winning anyway, but had to be asked ;)

Hey, thanks!

It'd be up to the individuals within the team to decide amongst themselves as to how they would split the rewards between themselves! Same goes for currency, it's up to the team members to apportion their Topians out.

What, no rank ups as prizes?
Players can definitely include their competition plots for consideration when it comes to applying for a promotion! However, I think rank-ups shouldn't be awarded based on whether you did better than other participants in the same category as yourself.

If a scenario arises where there's only five Novice players competing against each other, winning 1st for having the best Novice competition build doesn't necessarily equate to you being of a standard that deserves a promotion to Builder etc. Competitions aren't designed to have an unfair & negative influence on the progression of players through the ranks.

Rank ups have never been a competitive prize in the past, while winning one is a feat in and of itself, barring special circumstances, don't think a rank up would be appropriate. Great portfolio pieces though.

Probably not during the time that you staffed, but I know that I offered rank ups as prizes during the comps that were done partly due to the lack of prizes, but also to encourage people to bring their A-game.

I know Freaky has already replied, but I noticed you rated it confusing. To clarify, a player can certainly rank up from their entry if we believe their build meets our standards and we can trust them as a player to be mature and use commands correctly, which we find more fair than a rank up as a prize as more people have a chance to rank up then. The novice winners will probably be ranked up as they only require one detailed build, but we can't guarantee it until we've seen the quality of their build. Don't get me wrong, I really do wish it was as simple as being able to add it in as a prize, but we can't.
