As some of you will know Neowin has a Minecraft server of its own. Why not have a little building competition on it to attract more players to it?

 

Basics about the server (official thread here):

  • Address: mc.neowin.net
  • Type: Survival, though a starter kit and food can be found at spawn
  • Bukkit with the Essentials and Dynmap plug-in 
  • Map address: mc.neowin.net:8123
  • Players must be whitelisted.

For the competition everyone is free to build what their creativity and the available resources allow for. Go wild in your designs, just as long as it's no phallic object. :shifty:

 

Some basic rules:

  • Build near(-ish) spawn. It's hard to find builds 20,000 blocks away.
  • You may only use whatever the server provides by default. No creative mode or fly mode.
  • Participation is open to all Neowin community members with at least 20 posts (we have to weed out the one post wonders somehow...)
  • Contest builds must be labeled as such. Existing builds are not eligible for the competition.
  • Use your own creativity - downloading schematics from the web won't do.

The competition ends on Saturday, February 1st, 18:00 Central European Time. This gives players enough time to get whitelisted (if they aren't already), gather resources and build.

 

After the competition ends the server operators will pick a winner. The price? A tier 2 subscription for Neowin.

 

Now go forth and build!

You can gather all the material you want, but not use any buildings you have worked on already. Build something new close-ish to spawn.

 

No VoxelSniper or WorldEdit? Boooring.

You can't please some people. :P

What do you mean by that?( If you mean that I'm german, I'm not.)

He wasn't saying that you are german, he was saying that Frank B. (FB) is german yet speaks infinitely better english than Slugsie could speak german.

And the prize is a tier 2 subscription on Neowin.

The competition ended on the 1st and i think due to the overwhelming response they've forgot to announce the winner.

 

I'm the same with building. I get these ideas and and half way through wing it and turns out horrible.

That is part of the fun with Minecraft though.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
