Happy April, Shotbow! This month's edition of Dentril's New Moon is full of exciting updates. Let's jump right into it!
Network Updates
Monetization & Voting Updates
If you've been with Shotbow for a while, you'll know that Shotbow disabled individual XP voting rewards, and stopped selling XP, due to a change in the Minecraft EULA that restricted us. The Shotbow team has recently re-reviewed the latest revision of the Minecraft EULA, and realized that we can make some adjustments to monetization strategies relating to Shotbow XP.
To begin, we are re-instating per-user voting rewards! Each time you vote for Shotbow, you will receive 50 XP immediately! You can vote on each of the 6 voting sites per day, which will give you up to 300 XP per day, which is over 9,000 XP per month.
These rewards are added in addition to the voting milestones, which will release a 2,500 XP code for every 2,500 votes!
Go vote now to get these awesome rewards on vote.shotbow.net!
We'll be releasing more monetization changes coming soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the future!
Team Updates
The Shotbow team is creating a new rank called the Helper rank! While the details are still being finalized, Helpers will be responsible for duties that don't fall into the categories of banning hackers, building, or developing; think game design, player support, and much more! There will be two variations, Mini Helper and Helper. We will be onboarding our first Helpers very soon, so keep an eye out for the future!
Localization Updates
We apologize for the delays in getting back to Localization applicants. We are experiencing internal issues and will respond to all Localization team applications as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!
Gamemode Updates
MineZ Updates
We have announced the winners of the MineZ Minor Location Build contest! Congratulations to the winners:
Additionally, the MineZ Team as release an update to the Alt Abuse Policy. You can read the full policy here.
Warband Updates
Warband had a total of three new patches this month, some of which were game changing, like the class rework and blessing rework! Warband has also started making patch notes videos that you can find here:

MineZ Build Contest
The results are in! We'd like to thank all the players (and Tannatron) who submitted a build for this contest. We're thrilled with the results and appreciate all the time and effort you all spent to submit these builds. Though not everyone is a winner, we were happy to see the passion of the community on display. Without any further ado, let's get to the results!
Honorable Mentions
After so many great submissions, we'd like to shout out two of the submissions who were stand outs, but just shy of the victory this go around! We wish we could spotlight all of our submissions, but here are just a couple who we wanted to share anyways!
Honorable Mention #1: Tannatron's Battered Phare!

We loved Tannatron's use of the map terrain and the style of his build. What a great submission from our old friend!
Honorable Mention #2: OrcaHedral's Lakeside Park!
Orca's use of redstone to make these cute mushroom jumps was very inspired, and we loved the intricate tree as well!
Winners!
In first place: For an inspired build utilizing terrain, unique structures, and a fun theme, is ElLoboAlfa! We think this submission is stellar, and winning by Staff Vote, this submission was more than deserving!

Coming in at second place: Taking second by victory in a split vote, Zebra_aapje's Deserted Library! The detail included in this small build is astounding, and we love the structure and how cohesive the idea is here.

Coming in third: Rounding out our victors is senoc44's Mining Town Port! This build made excellent use of terrain, and we think fits the thematic of MineZ wonderfully!
