Event MineZ Wonderland Build Competition

MineZ Build Contest

Howdy Shotbow and MineZ community members! With MineZ Spookfest coming to an end, we are hard at work planning MineZ’s next holiday event which will take place in December.

After the successful Spookfest build competition, we decided that it was only right to have another competition for everyone to enjoy for the Winter season.

For that reason, we're hosting a MineZ Wonderland Build Contest! Almost anyone can enter a build into this, and we're hoping to give many of you the chance to have a build added into the Wonderland rotation! The contest will run until December 5th, and we're excited to see all that you have to submit!

How Does This Work?

• This MineZ Build Contest will last for 19 days, ending on December 5th, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
• Builds can be of any size, though we recommend making it manageable. Builds should be taken from the overworld only. Dungeon locations will not be accepted.
• We strongly recommend that you build something new for this contest, rather than a reskin of a town. Try to find a spot in MineZ where you think there could be a cool new Wonderland addition. Reskins are allowed, but are less likely to be added to the game if there is already a festive version of the build- though they will not be penalized while scoring.
• Submissions are welcome to suggest chest/water/crafting table/etc locations, but will ultimately be left up to MineZ staff.
• For this contest you will be allowed to download the chunks you need to build with.
• Multiple winners are expected. We will add winning builds to the Christmas map, so long as they meet a certain standard.

How Do I Submit My Build?

• Please submit your build here as a comment. Make sure to list who worked on it and what location it is.
• Each submission requires an Imgur album of build screenshots, taken in vanilla without shaders!
• Each submission requires a schematic file of the build.
• Each person/group is limited to 3 submissions.
• Submissions that do not meet the above requirements will be disqualified.

Rules

The rules of the contest are as follows:

• Anyone can send in a submission (unless you are currently a Shotbow staff member)
• Each person/group is limited to 3 submissions (Please note, group submissions will only receive one prize amongst the group.) Each person/group can only win one prize.
• Builds must be created in 1.12.2
• Submissions, if selected, are subject to edits as necessary by the MineZ team
• Submissions sent in, if selected, will be property of Shotbow
• Submissions sent in after December 5th at 11:59pm EST will not be considered for the contest

Winners

Winners will be announced by December 14th! Special prizes will be given to the top 3 builds:

• 1st Place: 50,000 Shotbow XP + Gold Rank + 3 Shout Tokens
• 2nd Place: 25,000 Shotbow XP + Silver Rank + 3 Shout Tokens
• 3rd Place: 25,000 Shotbow XP + A Player Sign + 3 Shout Tokens

All winners will additionally receive a special in-game prize on MineZ. All qualifying submissions will also receive a special in-game consolation prize.

Final Thoughts

It is our hope that as many of you as possible get in on the fun of building Holiday locations, however big or small! While it is unlikely, we must say that winners and ALL submissions are not guaranteed to be added to the Wonderland MineZ Map. To avoid this scenario you can follow some of these tips:

• Find inspiration on the web for fun decoration tips for the holidays.
• Use custom Minecraft heads, though don’t go too crazy!
• You can always ask for feedback on your builds. Don’t shy away from getting an opinion on your build.

Happy building and Happy Holidays!

Present Tower (name it whatever you want idc)
Built by Peaches

Simple build with a difficult parkour course of two large rooms (purple and red presents) and a loot room (blue present). Built on a layer of snow but made to work with any terrain, to be added as a minor build or to supplement an existing holiday build.

Needs a grapple shroud if added !
(Or the madwood grove catch-all shroud if it's easy to do)
