And the time for building your spooky mansions has now come to an end. There are some wonderful entries this time around, and I can’t wait to jump in and judge them all!
We’ll be announcing the winners on Thursday. 

Our next contest, might take a little more explaining…

We’ve titled it “SurvivalBlock” basically because you get thrown into survival and have to gather resources skyblock-style and build the best you can within those limitations. It should be fun, and will test not only building ability – but how well you can farm things in the game!

Once again, we’ll be allowing teams of up to 4, so you can work alone or team up with friends whatever’s your fancy.
We’ll share some more specifics and open up for plot claiming on Monday, so stay tuned for that!

Thanks for all that have been taking part in this contest, and we look forward to seeing you in the next!

You can now get and use invisible item frames on Survival and Creative!

Plus, a nice little QoL thing, you can open chests (and other containers) through item frames, signs, paintings and more.
So no need to try and hit the tiny gap on the side anymore!

To use them in survival, you’ll need to craft them. The recipe is 8 item frames surrounding a fermented spider eye.

In creative, simply use /iframe to get an invisible frame.

Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the contest, the winners are below:

Third Place
Rattafix on plot 7

Second Place
Opey9519 on plot 2

First Place
NinaLikesTurtles on plot 5

If you won a prize, your tokens and $$ have already been awarded, and you can collect your trophy item by visiting /warp prize on survival.

We’ve updated the currency on our store to GBP to make it easier to track income/expenses.
As much as possible, the new prices in GBP (£) are roughly equivalent to the old prices in $, although of course this will vary with exchange rates.

You can switch the pricing to your preferred currency using the dropdown menu to the top right of the store.
If you are already subscribed to A-List Membership, you will continue to pay the price when you started the subscription.

The judging is now complete on our dirt house contest, and I must say we were impressed by many of the builds, even if a lot of you strayed away from the ‘House’ part of the theme..

Our sandbox servers have now updated to Minecraft 1.16.3!

You can join our network with any version from 1.8.x to 1.16.x – but we suggest using the latest version for the best experience!

It took a little longer than intended, but as of right now, Survival Games is open on carnival!

Currently, there’s two small maps, but we have a bigger one in the works that should be open later this weekend.

As this is fairly new, we’d appreciate any feedback about the balancing, items etc, so please do share your thoughts in #suggestions-feedback on discord!

Head over to /carnival now to go play! You can even win tokens!

Survival, Creative and PureSurvival are all now updated to 1.16.2, please update your client for the best experience.

Thank you for your patience over the past few days with server downtime and such.
