Build the permanent home of a nomad guild!

  • About

    Greetings, talented builder!

    I've heard of your abilities from the many lands I've travelled. You see, I'm a guild master of an ever travelling band of adventurers. And we think we have finally found a place to call home! The problem is, we just happen to not be experts at building sound structures.

    If you aid us, we'll gladly pay you in your favorite currency!



    Here's a list of what the Guild Master wants built:

    Guild HallThere should be plenty of room for guild members to socialize, share information and take on quests. The Guild Master wishes to have a bedroom to live in here, to keep watch over the place.
    TavernA place for adventurers to grab a bite to eat and sleep away their troubles. The Guild Master would like there to be plenty of good food and tables here. As well as modest bedding.
    BlacksmithA place for repairs or new gear.
    The legendary artifact of flame, Crimson Essence*, is told to be heating the guild's moving forge, but its time for it to have a permanent home. The Guild Master would like this place to be told throughout the lands for its grandness!
    Wizard's TowerA place of magic and knowledge.
    A traveling museum of artifacts collected by the guild would like to be kept here. The Guild Master would like three of the artifacts* displayed for all to see of their achievements. The Guild Master would also like there to be places to study and places to practice magic safely.
    Social CenterA place of trade, community and travel.
    The Guild Master hopes the guild will become a trading capital, and all crafting wears created by his guild members are known by all! The Guild Master would like there to be docks for flying vehicles and a portal to be created using the given Portal Gem* artifact.
    Other Island Details:
    • Ways to travel between the islands. Whether it be bridges or magical means!
    • Roads big enough for horses. The Guild Master expects this place to be very popular.
    • Drinking water! Ground water? Collecting clouds? The Guild Master will leave that up to you.
    • It's already populated! There's 6 villagers already camping out there. Make sure they have places to live (they're friends of the Guild Master).
    • A public square on the Social Center island. Just in case there's a party.
    • The Guild Master's favorite color is red. It felt you should know this...

    The Guild Master would be happy to answer any questions in the guest book!

    * (These are the artifacts, which can be found within chests at each location. There is a total of 5. Not all locations have artifacts.)

  • Where you will be building:

    This is a map of the place you're building on!
    The Guild Master would like for each buildings to be some where on the island that its marked on.
    The artifacts for each building will be at those locations, too.



    Link to the map template!

    Rules for the map template:
    + You're not allowed to remove any of the islands. Working with the placement of these islands is part of the challenge.
    + You're allowed to change the blocks of the islands. Example: Changing the grass blocks to moss blocks is allowed.
    +You're allowed to change the Y level of the islands as a whole. Just in case you want to build underneath.
    +Keep everything you build within the boundaries of the map. If something you build goes a bit off the map, don't worry about it.

    Questions About the Map

    How do I get started?
    A link to a map template download will be provided in the "Where you will be building" widget. Add this map file to your game and start building!
    Do I have to use the given map?
    Yes!
    These are the lands the Guild Master chose. It would be going against the contract otherwise.
    Do I have to do everything on the list?
    Preferably yes!
    The Guild Master's list may seem challenging but it wants this place to be special for all the adventurers that follow it. Feel free to add more to the list as well yourself!
    Can I build more than the 5 locations listed?
    Yes!
    Feel free to add more craftsmen buildings, shops, homes, statues, whatever! Have fun!

    No!
    Build however you would like to! Whether it be medieval or something more steampunky!

    The 5 artifacts mentioned in the list can be found in the map. Each one will be at the locations it needs to be at in a chest.
    Don't lose them!

    Yes, but keep each island recognizable to their original shape. Landscape to your heart's delight!
    Can the biome be changed?
    Go for it!

  • Note from the Host

    A thank you to Cyprezz for letting me create a jam during the beta!

    This wasn't my first idea for my next event but I wanted to shine some light on the builders of the community. To me, they are a big part of why Minecraft is such an awesome game!

    :)
