    Converted Legacy Event

    This event was converted from our old contest and event system into our new jam format for historic preservation. Some details may be confusing in the new jam context.

    Introduction : Create a "Snow Globe" themed map

    Build a map with the theme centered around "Snow Globe". You may use the official starter map but it's not a requirement. While the starter map suggests building inside a giant snow globe, you are free to interpret the theme in your own way. The common theme is meant to inspire your creativity, not constrain it to the point of limiting your skills.

    Download Snow Globe Starter Map by Shaliquinn - NOT required for team edition!

    Are you an individual hoping for a solo project contest? View the solo edition!



    These rules may change between contests, so please be sure to read them carefully in case they are different from the previous ones! Failure to comply with these rules will result in the immediate disqualification of your submission and/or being banned from the contest entirely.

    General Rules

    • Your build must be 100% original content that is not an old creation, whether of yours, your teams, or someone else's.
    • 75% or more of the screenshots must be unedited in-game shots
      • This means NO mod aid. Including shaders and optifine.
      • This means NO image editing help such as photoshop.
      • A screenshot is only unedited if a moderator could download an official vanilla client and by using the same minecraft settings can replicate the screenshot.

    • You must use the default texture pack. This is a build contest, not a texturing contest. Judges will also be reviewing your builds in the default texture pack.
    • Presentation is very important! Please be sure to add lots of screenshots, detail to your lore, give some description as to your building process and all in all just present your submission well.
    • You may not use any tools that produce an output for you. Building aides are allowed, but don't let a program do the main work for you (3D model converters, etc).
    • No mods! Must be vanilla Minecraft, latest release or below. Judges will also be judging the submissions in vanilla Minecraft. Any foreign blocks will be discarded from the final judging.

    FAQ


    Do we have to need to use the starter map?
    No. Just make sure the map you do conceptualize translates the theme, "Snow Globe".

    If I work with a team, can I also make my own and enter the solo contest?
    Yes. As normal rules apply, your solo entry must be 100% original. No borrowing work from the team build even if it's only the portion you were responsible for.

    Can I make a build by myself without a team and enter it?
    Yes but you should consider entering the solo edition of this contest instead. You may not enter the same solo map into the solo & team contests. That's duplicate content! boo

    Judging



    Entries will be judged by a panel of your PlanetMinecraft peers. We'll be assembling a team of individuals to judge; don't worry if there aren't any yet, they will be added soon!

    During the first phase, judges will be scouring builds, disqualifying entries that break the rules and diamonding posts that they like. Remember that judge diamonds are worth a lot! Once the build period is up, the contest will enter phase two.

    The second phase consists of 5 days of review; the judges will go over the entries and find any straggling rule breakers. Users will have time to diamond and view more of the entrants.

    The final phase involves the judges judging all of the finalists, which are calculated based on an aggregate score of activity and votes.

    You will be judged on the following aspects, on a 1-10 inclusive scale:
    • Concept & Originality: Fresh, new ideas and crazy concepts! Try to do something new, differentiate yourself from the status quo and show us what you're made of.
    • Technique & Execution: Color, shape, texture - be sure your build flows together and represents what you are trying to accomplish.
    • Presentation & Experience: Presentation of a build can really help to make an impression. Be sure you've got good screenshots, spend some time on the post!




    All ready to enter? Great!

    Step 1: Create a map and have fun! You have three weeks to build. You are in no rush to post your map, and may post it any time before the posting period.

    Step 2: When you're ready to post, head back to your Minecraft saves folder and zip the map folder. Windows users can right-click and Add To > New Compressed Archive; you may also use a third party program such as WinRAR or 7zip.

    Step 3: Go to the Create New Project page on PlanetMinecraft and upload your map as normal! Be sure to take many screenshots to show off the interiors.
