The Bazaar Build

This past week, many of us came together for to build the bazaar. This is a vibrant marketplace in the middle of the desert. We surrounded it with walls which separate it into several districts. Pathways were laid down connecting all the shops.

This was our build event, a once regular tradition which we decided to revive. After the resounding success of this build, it is safe to say we will have this type of event on a regular basis once again. The result is something to behold and displays the various build styles that the Cavetale community has to offer.

The people involved in this event were, in no particular order: Koontzykinz, SpicyMojito, ImLithuanian, StarTux, WubbDubb, ZuzuZzZz, CyrusFyre, killergames1, King8ight, KarateGirl77777, SealFart, Pixlesquid, KalistaAnanke, JohnnyOo, Black0ut1, Or1on8, IM_Kami, IM_Shae, TheRedMakerMan, Toy_2, anniconda, KrissyXD, pieinyoureye. You should all be proud of this build and will be rewarded with a small token in-game. If anyone missed this event, worry not, there will be plenty more chances to participate in various themes in the future.

The idea for this build came from the Minecraft subreddit, where they have a bi-weekly build challenge. This one was simply themed “Market.” We decided to spice it up and add our own theme on top of it, and make it a desert market, also known as a bazaar.

Pictures from the event will be used for us to participate in this challenge. You can view the album following this link. We would like to thank everybody who participated and hope to see you all in the next event.

Upgrade to 1.15.2

Happy New Year

We hope that you all had a nice 2019. For 2020, we would like to enhance the server with cool new features and get those player numbers up again.

Because voting seems to bee pretty effective, we are giving the top voter of each month a permanent title and a temporary exclusive command to launch a firework show at spawn whenever and how often they want, via /vote firework.

Because admins have an inherent advantage when it comes to votes and some other new features, they will be skipped for this particular prize. So this January, the Vote King goes to Drodle, who was shortly behind Black0ut1 and me in top monthly votes. For this month, you will have access to the aforementioned command, and your name appears in gold in the leaderboards, and you get to keep the title.
So congratulations Drodle, and thanks to everybody for their plentiful votes! They have shown to bring new players to the server.

The Christmas Raid will continue to be available for at least another week, while we prepare for Skills Mk2, so stay tuned!

Advent Guardians

Remember the secret Halloween realm from last year? It’s back! Well two of their bosses are back, plus a new one, and they have set out to use their newly found abilities and hordes of monsters to stop Christmas from coming to Cavetale!

Enter this Raid through the portal near spawn, bring your best gear and your strongest friends, slay all the monsters in there and defeat the three bosses so we can have a Minecraft Christmas miracle!

People who beat this Raid will win a brand new title, 1,000 Coins, as well as all the Epic Drops from the Bosses!!!

This will be around until Christmas is happening. Raid map made by papamaci.

Maypole 2019

Spring has sprung once again, even on Cavetale. Therefore, it is time that we erect a brand new Maypole right at spawn, and you can be a part of it! For the following week, you can collect items all around our survival worlds. Complete your collection to add your player head to the pole at spawn. Every 4 heads it will grow by a block. Let’s make this one even higher than last year’s! We have time from May 1 to May 7.

Get started by clicking the base of the pole right at the Spawn. It will give you the Maypole book with detailed instructions. The goal of this game is to collect each of the 16 items are required to complete the collection. You can see your progress by clicking the pole again or simply looking at your MagicMap. Each item has a specific type of location where it can be found. Make sure to read the Maypole book carefully so you don’t miss any hints.

Everyone who helps with the pole by adding their head to the collection will receive the Maypole title. Plus, every completion of the collection will give you a small selection of goodies, as well as one point towards the highscore (type /hi). Unlike your head on the pole, the goodies and highscore can be repeated, so continuous collecting is worth it, although it will get harder and harder. Once the event is over, the top 10 will receive another special goodie bag. The top 3 will get an additional statue right around the Maypole.

We hope to see you on the server and of course your player head on the pole, where it will stay, right at the server spawn.

Easter Event 2019

The Easter Event 2019 is starting now! This time, we are doing an Easter egg hunt around the spawn world. The event will go on from Easter Sunday throughout the next week and will end on next Sunday, the 28th. All around spawn, the Easter eggs will be hidden by the Easter Bunny. Who else. Eggs are shared, so once a person finds them, it goes away, exploding into many little sheep, bunnies, and fireworks. We are starting with 10 eggs. Once all eggs have been found or an hour passes, all remaining eggs (if any) will go poof. Then, 10 more will spawn, plus one per previously discovered egg. So, if you guys manage to find every single egg, the next round will have 20 eggs, then 30, and so on. If a round goes over without any eggs discovered, we go back to 10, of course.

Each person to find an egg will be gifted a cool item in the game, and of course there’s also a score kept. Everybody who makes it in the top 10, will receive a snazzy title once the event is over. You can join any time and hunt for eggs. We hope to see you there!
