Hello
I'm very proud to announce that the MineZ Spook-Fest will be returning to MineZ for this October! During this time, there will be a daily halloween chest spawned somewhere in the map and spooky yet fun halloween themed events held on Fridays. Specific details can be found below.

The Daily Treat Chest
The daily treat chest is a tradition for October so of course I had to do it again this year! What will happen is a chest will spawn daily on a public MineZ server at a random town or location on the map. This chest will not spawn in the middle of nowhere or at the end of a dungeon, however, you may need to do some parkour and face various mobs get to the chest. The treat chest will spawn every day of October at 6:00 PM CST on a Public US Server. For EU folks, a larger double-chest will spawn on every Saturday & Sunday at 1:00 PM CST. Each treat chest will consist of an assortment of Halloween goodies, rares, collectables, useful items, and the traditional spooky pumpkin. Additionally, every Sunday will contain a special enchanted pumpkin. Make sure to keep an eye on the chat as the locations for these chests will be broadcasted at these given times!

Haunted Events
Every Friday at 7:00 CST we will be hosting a special Halloween themed event that will hopefully be unique in some way. The winners of these events will receive a very special reward, and hopefully everyone will have a lot of fun! Show up if you are ready for a spooktacular time!

Hey everyone!
On behalf of the Film Crew, I am pleased to announce that the applications to join the team are open again!
You may apply for the following positions using the link that is at the bottom of this thread: Recorder, Editor and Concept Coordinator.

What are we looking for?
We are looking for creative individuals who like to dedicate their time to creating videos and entertaining others. Whether you like to record, edit or coordinate things, we've got a place for you! Let me take you through some brief explanations about the available positions.

Editor: This person will be working closely with the recorders to ensure that all required footage that is needed for the video is collected, and will also venture out to work on his/her own mini projects from time to time as well. However, the mini-projects will have a lower priority than official projects at all times.

Recorder: Without our Recorders, there would be no video. These people will have the opportunity to venture out into the vast lands and are expected to capture enthralling visuals of our beautiful builds or high intensity PvP action to which the project sees fit. The recorders will be working globally, though may be asked to work on certain projects depending on their experience with it.

Concept Coordinator: This is the brain of the operation and is probably the most crucial position. And therefore, we are selecting applicants for this position foremost for their unique ideas and out-of-the-box thinking. To produce something extraordinary, we must have remarkable concepts for our videos and this is the man with the plan. Whoever receives this position will also work closely with the editors to propose their ideas for the whole project as well as each sequence of the video.


Please note!
Applying here does not guarantee a position on the staff team. You will not be contacted if your application was turned down. The Lead of your team reserves the right to remove you from staff if circumstances show the need to.
