Homework...? Maybe.

**UPDATE WITH COUNTDOWN! http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20150906T22&p0=303&msg=Pickaxis+Survival+Drop+Party&font=cursive&csz=1
 
 
It is that time again folks! Last month's drop party went down quite well and there was some cool heads donations which brought a very interesting end to the drop party. This month the hoppers have already had to be empty so it is looking like it will be a massive one so all we need is for you and your friends to come visit on the night!
 
So vote for your best time slot, find anything you want to add to the donations (its at spawn) and come on over for the party, I am sure Husker will provide some non-alcoholic beverages to make the night go in a blur!!!!!

Congrats to all the new staff!

Heyo!
 
 
My darlings!! I hope you're all doing simply fuzzy today. SO I realized something...no one really gets on the website. This made me think "Why don't people (me too) not like getting on here?" Then I realized...It's kinda boring lol.
 
SOOOOOOOOOO, I've deiced to have an amazing Art page where all you amazing people can post doodles of any kind (Keep it tasteful, no nudies) and have them judged and win you goodies!
 
I will be hosting a monthly art contest starting on September 1st 2015! So let's get out there an doodle some doodles!!! I can't wait to see all the art! Post here or a link with the flash of the photos! Be sure each one is signed by you. Also, I can't stress enough, KEEP IT CLEAN! If i find it offensive Ill remove it and you'll be expelled from the contest forever more ^.^ So lets avoid that k?
 
Okie Dokie! Have fun and see you round Pickaxis town!
 
Lubs you

Yay! I'm going to go try them out now!

Most people on Minecraft have their own little special skins they've made or found online that they like, but the thing about minecraft skins is that they're usually not all that detailed. I mean you can only put, what, 8x8 dots on the face? Lame. So, I guess why I'm here is:
 
I want to help bring your Minecraft skin to life! I've already done a few (as you may have seen of BnJ and Husker's), but I've done some more to give you a better example of what I'm trying to say.
 
I did Bill1993, Flawless_Method (aka. Waddles), and portalBlock, shown below.



 
If you would like me to draw your skin, just comment I guess. I need your full Minecraft name, case sensitive, and a little description of what your skin is. If you'd like me to put a little artistic freedom into my drawings, then I'm more than likely going to be a little weird with my creativity. (:

So with huge huge thanks to Husker and Nick, I now have my own account!! So now nobody needs to ask "Which one is it?" And Zach no longer needs to check the time to see who it is! 
 
Both myself and Marc have talked about getting separate accounts since he decided to concentrate on survival, whereas I prefer Skyblock. We will still work together on the island... but that is my baby!!
 
For anyone that doesn't know, I'm Clare, I'm from the UK and can be found on the Skyblock server most days. Always here to help where I can and always up for a chat. (typing that is... not quite over my phobia of talking using my mouth!!)
 
I can confirm that this has not changed my actual relationship with the almighty ZTolerance... Just means we might use the the server to actually talk to each other

So I've been in a major art block lately, so I doodled this really quick. Hopefully they're be more of these to come!

Hello I'm gs (or Lauren)!
 
Welcome to Pickaxis! I hope you enjoy the server and the people here as well!                                     

Nice job and congrats!! 

Today was a very exciting, nerve-wracking, harrowing day for my islandmates and I! It took all of our ingenuity, strength, a few deaths, and much laughing but we managed to complete the task set before us!
 
Lily, Snow, and I have conquered the Enderdragon!

Special thanks goes out to Pinball7wiz for helping out with some technical difficulties  <3

What to build...

For survival spawn:

Coolpig5342 and I invented a new game that we want to share with you guys.
 
Let's call it "Y High".
 
////////////////////////////////////
 
Goal: Without flying or double-jumping, what's the highest y-level point you can get in the lobby and each of the server spawns?
 
////////////////////////////////////
 
Post a screenshot for proof of your highest point.   I'll start adding mine soon.
 
////////////////////////////////////
 
Current Leaderboard:
 
Survival Spawn - Gsdcs @ y:106
Hardcore Spawn - Husker @ y:101

Welcome! Another great person for a great server!  

Congrats everyone!

I cant wait to see what everyone builds and also good luck to everyone!

Hello, everyone! You probably don't really know me, but I'm Wrena. I thought I'd show you guys a video. It's a spoken word poem by Shane Koyczan, animated by many wonderful people. It's really important to me, and maybe it will be for you guys too.
 
Here is the link to the video.
Here is just the poem by itself.
 
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

I think Poke's idea is great!

I think these would be helpful for all our mob-capturing needs!

WE need these in survival because, have you ever needed to move your mobs anywere? If you do it by lead, it could take hours! Even if you do have /fly they could die from falling!
 
How would we make These Safari nets? Well i've seen servers that put custom crafting repiaces to craft custom items!
 How Would these Safari nets work? Well, when you fight click a mob with it, they GO into the Net! And when you right click the ground again, they come out!
VOTE FOR IT HERE: http://strawpoll.me/3637411
Portal! This is a job for you!

A day in the life of [insert person here] but don't let them know you're recording :3

I have a new desktop background on my computer.
 
You can use it too, if you'd like.  Here it is! - Click here for the original image to download.
