Mob Arena Competition

We will be holding a competition for players to be able to create a mob arena map, the winner of the competition will have their build implemented as a mob arena (accessible by all) with their head placed in the map and credit given.

You can build these arenas in your wild plots or in town area (the former is the best option). You may also build your arena in a single player world as long as you provide a schematic that can be directly implemented into the server.

You may choose the theme and who you build the arena with; everyone who helps build will be rewarded (as long as it is in line with the rules below.)

Rules:
At least 5x5 chunks.
No more than 5 players being involved in the build (1 min, 5 max).
Do not create any intentional exploit spots: they will be removed.
Do not create super tall builds, for instance, anything higher than 100 blocks cannot be used.
Do not use any 1.8 blocks, we will not be able to add your schematic in-game if you do so.

Rewards:
500k Noobz - shared between all players on a team
A trophy (per person)
Each player will have their head placed in the mob arena

Tips:
Try to use a consistent theme -- we aren't looking for a specific theme, feel free to make your own.
Try not to use every block in-game and keep a design that looks sleek and nice

*You have one month to complete your build for this competition -- 8th May 2015

Post by: Foob on 7 Apr 2015, 21:28:25: To create schematics in single player look up

Singleplayer Worldedit or MCEdit - There are tutorials on Youtube and if you need any specific advice regarding this I will try and answer them when available via PM. Good luck!

Post by: MagicMan27 on 7 Apr 2015, 23:19:54: let me get this straight, every event is when I have sports practice...
How about 11 BST :D
Other than that, Great idea on the mob arena competition.

Post by: MagicMan27 on 7 Apr 2015, 23:28:54: is the arena allowed to use barrior blocks in 1.8 as a way to keep creeper charge air jumps in the arena.

Also, arena completion date?
Title: Re: Easter Events (this week)
Post by: sir_Andrew99876 on 7 Apr 2015, 23:31:48: For the player built arena, what would a circumference of 5x5 so that the arena can be a dome, similar to the current ma arena dome?

Also how do you enter a build in game or single player world, for the contest?

What is the chunk limit or block radius allowed for the ma arena area?

Barrier blocks aren't compatible with our server version of Minecraft, so I would suggest not using them.

You have 1 month to complete the arena build.

I haven't set a limit but it has to be at least 5 chunks; obviously it can't be too big but, if you set a maximum of 15-20 chunks, you should be fine.

Bear in mind that you might not have time to make a huge build as 1 month isn't a long time, relatively :P

Post by: Foob on 8 Apr 2015, 02:19:32: I would also like to point out that any blocks used from 1.8 will not work currently so please do avoid those.

Nope, we're allowing complete freedom and hopefully his way people will come up with creative designs.

Post by: daniel_blackwood on 9 Apr 2015, 04:49:09: Any height limit? Is performance going to be an issue if we build something extra crazy?

Like, when you create a singleplayer world and select "AMPLIFIED", it says "requires a beefy computer", wil that be a problem?
Title: Re: Easter Events (this week)
Post by: daniel_blackwood on 9 Apr 2015, 08:00:44: What I'm asking is, is this too big?

It's 80x80, so 5x5 chunks exactly.
Title: Re: Easter Events (this week)
Post by: theDalekSupreme on 9 Apr 2015, 17:07:39: The Amplified warning is because of the amount of blocks it (the game) has to generate in the air and in far more complex patterns. 5x5 Chunks of pre-loaded Amplified should be fine.
(Though I don know what the rules state about height limit)
Title: Re: Easter Events (this week)
Post by: Foob on 9 Apr 2015, 18:18:43: I would say to stick to a normal height possibly around the 50-80 blocks mark... Super tall arenas will only cause hassle when each player must clear every floor or zone where mobs can spawn.
