This involves too much effort not progressing in the pack, ill pass. But its nice mym does things like this.
it's nice to see some kind of community event happening sadly both require creative talent, so i'm out XD
Hold my dinner but dont eat it! Just look at my entry for skin contest and maybe IF i turn off terraria 1.4.4 newest update!!!!!!!! i build so sketchy but themed house fo house contest! Prolly i'll do it on vanilla to show you even more how little its needed
Please change "CAN" in @dubhnoir annoucement to "MUST" to match the statement @AoifeEnns gave, so there will be no contradictions and to not confuse players. I myself were very uncertain if I can do the build in my creative singleplayer world. Since I can't do that I wont participate in this event, because I dont wanna spent X hours to progress in any pack to get desired materials for the build. Well if only there was some creative server to do those kinds of events... Even vanilla would do for that...
I have added that under the rules section to clarify it. We opted against setting up a creative server for building since we had done that in the past and had more people wanting to build directly on whichever server they were already playing. So this year that is what we opted to do.
On the other hand you force people to gather their own materials instead BUILDING something for event. I'd love to make something but when i think i must gather X stacks of this and X stacks of that and to find it first in farmworld instead hop on singleplyer creative world and just to the build, I came to conclusion its better not to partake in event. Btw. where the last time MyM done building contest? 4 years ago? something easter realted? So you really use the opted thing from 4 years ago or even earlier? I made the search - last time MyM made building contest was: April Build Contest | MineYourMind Community from Mar 31, 2020 So you opted about creative server then? Also why not allow using people singleplayer worlds? damn my post under that thread... LMAO
Yes, it was a while back when we decided against making a creative world for build contests, as you can see from that build contest you linked, it also was for building on any of our servers. As for why not allowing single-player worlds, we want them where people can visit them. If you don't want to participate in the contest, that is fine, but these are the rules we have chosen for the contest.
Visit them? Yea... 2 week of inactivity and its gone. Thats its really bad excuse in my humble opinion, that stops more people from entry.
No, this doesn't stop more people from entering. I have stated this before. In previous build events when we did set up a specific server for builds, we had many people complain that they would have to stop playing on the server they were playing to join a build contest. So for the players we have, it is better to just set it up on the servers that people are already on. As for the items to build? It doesn't take much to build something like this, most people, unless they just started on the server, probably already have all the materials for a build. And for the inactivity reset, again, unless you join a server just to build this, then never log in again, yes it will delete after 2 weeks, but this is another reason to build it on a server that people are already playing. We would not keep up a server that is used for build contests, so builds will actually last longer on our normal servers. I hope you can understand and accept our opinion as we will not change how we are doing this.
