Build Battle: 'The Wild / Trails & Tales Update'
What, where, and when is the build battle?
Each participating player will be given a 100x100 block plot on which to build their entry on the Creative Server. The build battle takes place on a separate world, so you do not need to use your normal creative plot. You can build anything you like, so long as the build is based on the prompt set in this post, (see below). This build battle runs for ~5 weeks and will be open Tuesday 4th July 2023 through Sunday 6th August 2023.
How do I enter?
To get to the build battle, head to the creative server via /hub and enter the Build Battle portal. Once you are there, use the /home command to create a plot. Like the normal creative world, you will be able to use /home to get to your plot as well. You have until the end of Sunday 6th August to build your entry. You can take as long as you like on the building within that time frame and change it as much as you want up until the close of the contest. Nothing will be judged until after the contest has been closed, and the voting begins.
Once you have a plot you are automatically entered into the Build Battle, if you decide you want to exit the competition simply /modreq asking for your plot and entry to be removed.
What is the build battle theme?
Your build must be based on the following theme:
"The Wild / Trails & Tales Update"
Your build can be anything you like, but it should showcase the additions made to minecraft by the two most recent updates, The Wild Update (1.19) and The Trails & Tales Update (1.20).
