The Festival will take place on a Java version 1.21.5 Minecraft server. The Festival Staff will compile the festival map and server using community creations submitted in this and upcoming preparation-jams.

We're preparing for fall/autumn! So think orange, red, falling leaves and pumpkins. Cozy vibe, cool weather, mushrooms and hedgehogs.

🍄🍂🎃

We simply start working early!

We'll try our best, but unfortunately cannot guarantee that your build will be included. The Festival Staff has the challenging task of bringing builds and assets together in one big map. It is up to them to decide which builds fit right with the theme, layout and other elements.

The event will take place in or around spooky season. We're happy to include a few elements that celebrate this time of fall, but the majority of the map will be scare-free!

The festival map will be meant for players to run around in! Meaning builds or assets should be at a scale to be used/explored by a Minecraft player. The exception is decorative/giant props.

Yes! The prompts are not limited to one builder per prompt. You can build whichever prompt you prefer. (And a maybe another tree! 🌳)

Yes, you can submit something that isn't on the list. However, make sure to stick to similar themes and uses as the prompts on the list. (Rural, farm, harvest, fall/autumn, festival, celebration, market.) Map submissions that stray too far from the theme may be disqualified.

For your buildings and assets to be included in the festival map, they will have to by copy-pasted into a new terrain. So please keep that in mind when building. Building on a flat world will be helpful!

The festival will take place on Java version 1.21.5.

Yes, you can use heads to decorate your build or asset. The Festival Staff can import them without trouble!

Map or schematic, whichever works for you best! :)
