Here's a fun game we're going to play You should be happy, the game starts today Your help is needed to find all my gold It's tokens and coins, the legend's foretold Read all the clues, you will see them below Only the wisest will be in the know Riddles will guide you to a treasure chest Submit your screenshot to prove you're the best If you are the first to post your success Riches and riches upon you, I'll bless But please go with caution, take this to heart You can win only once...plan and be smart The first clue I'll give will pop up today The second tomorrow, third on it's way Good luck to you all, please go find my loot And while you're at it, I'm missing a boot Treasure #1 Clues: FOUND! - More treasures coming soon Dear Diary, I've come to the conclusion that since my ex now lives over 4,000 miles away from me that I can start dating again. I don't know why he wanted to wait until he was 37 to get hitched. This time, my plan is flawless and EZ: I will only date men who are perfect 100's and over 24 years old. Love, Pirate Husker Captain's Log, Entry #Q Today I dropped off a treasure in a chest. Why did I do that? I don't know why. I could really have used all those tokens for fly. :'( If I hadn't fallen into that ravine and then become lost exploring deeper into the caves, I think I could have made it home with that loot. I'm pretty sure my boot is down there too. Dearest Diary, Some mornings I wake up in a bad, negative mood. Then, once I put my feet down on the floor and realize how lucky I am, I'm quickly brought back to a positive mood. Day after day it's the same: negative, feet, positive; negative, feet, positive. Good mantra for a treasured life. Love, Pirate Husker

With great power comes great responsibility. Official Rules Builds may not contain offensive content. All builds must be something heroes or villains would conduct their super business in. What you build, i.e. castle, cave, underground lair, sky fortress, high-tech lab, etc., is up to you. Your build should illustrate your side, good or evil. Please leave a sign explicitly stating your intended side, good or evil. All builds, to be considered as an official entry, must be marked completed using the command /plot done. Any builds not identified as such by the close of the contest on November 30 at 11:59 PM EST, will not be judged as an entry. Criteria for judging, based on a 10 point scale, are as follows: Creativity, Originality, Hideout Theme, and Design. Point totals will not be made public. Have fun! Tips for Entries To get started and find your plot, perform the command /plot auto. If your entry requires elements not set as the default environment in the contest world, instructions should be placed on a sign at the border of your entry plot, facing towards the path. Elements can include a day/night element or weather. Any questions on other possible element capabilities should be messaged to helios8385 here on the forums. If there is a component of interaction involved with your entry, this must be EXPLICITLY and OBVIOUSLY noted on your contest plot. A sign along the outside edge of the plot, facing outwards towards the path will suffice. All features of a creative server are enabled, including WorldEdit, redstone functionality, and gravel/sand block physics. Any questions on how to use WorldEdit should be searched. Please don't bother the staff about your build.

PWU - 2/5/15 It's Thursday! That means it's time for the next PickAxis Weekly Update. BTW, these updates will be every other week unless there is enough information to add a couple more into the month. What's New? Changed Voting Sites - You will see that we switched PMC to another voting site because PMC wasn't registering each time someone voted and correctly reporting it back to us. In order to get you all the tokens you deserve, we switched to Mineservers.net. (Also, congrats to Malsamatic for winning Top Voter for January!) 1.8 Updates - Creative now joins Survival and Skyblock as a fully-updated 1.8 server. Enjoy the fun, new blocks! New Token Shop Kits (Skyblock) - On Skyblock there are 2 new 1.8 kits in /shop. Use your tokens to purchase these for 50 tokens each. One kit is the 1.8 Ground Pack & the other is the 1.8 Sea Pack. Have ideas for other Token Kits? Let us know in the comments below. PickAxis Coins & Ranks - They are here! Check out the front page announcements or the Shop page for complete details. Name Changes - Mojang has officially allowed us to change our Minecraft names. While doing so is compliant with most of our servers and plugins, be warned that it will not keep your Skyblock island. We are not yet sure of any other bugs it may cause, but do any updating with caution. What's Coming? Flash Build Contest - We will have our first Flash Build Contest starting this weekend. This means it will be up for only one week. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement. TF2 Event - This weekend we hope to have our first TF2 event. Join the PickAxis Steam group to be alerted to its start time. See ya there!

Testing will take place on /server kitpvp Hey everyone! This post is to inform you of the upcoming beta testing of our fully custom KitPvP server. We hope to offer you a new and enhanced way to PvP with your friends and dominate your rivals. Along side the traditional kits and maps we have added abilities your arsenal, these include: Climber Rogue Tank This may not seem like a lot to start off with, so we've planned a weekly release of additional abilities. Right now, we have a total of 11 planned, meaning that for the next 8 weeks you will have a shiny new ability to test out! Abilities will be able to be bought with tokens for the duration of your current (in-game) life as well as donated for to get that ability for the duration of your (real) life. Because the plugin we will be using is completely custom, there may be a fair amount of bugs waiting to be found, and this is where you come in! We want you to test these features as well as the core functionality of KitPvP. If you choose to help us test you will get permissions for all kits and abilities for the duration of the testing time, allowing you to try out everything! Testing is scheduled to take place this coming Saturday (click here to see a count down in your time zone), make sure to post your name here to be added to the whitelist and ensure you are granted the proper permissions. We would like to ask (although it is not mandatory) that you hang out with us in our TeamSpeak server (ts.pickaxis.com) for easy communication.
