The next build contest has arrived at PickAxis! Let's all hop to it and build what Easter means to us! After all the hard work that The Easter Bunny puts in to hiding those eggs, let's show him some appreciation with your fabulous building skills!
From now until Midnight on Sunday 23rd April, let your creativity flow! You can hop right into the build contest server (/server buildcontest), claim a plot (/plot auto), build something awesome, then submit it (/plot done) before building ends on the 23rd! We'll announce the winners shortly afterwards.
Check out the loot you can take home from this build contest below:
1st place
30 Coins 2nd place
20 Coins 3rd place
10 Coins And of course, teamwork makes the dream work! Teams can split the prize and glory!
So, there are a few rules we need to cover quickly... First, don't go off and build anything inappropriate or offensive! Such builds will be disqualified and exiled to the bottom of the ocean. The Easter Bunny doesn't visit there. Second, be sure to make the build as creative as possible! Finally, be sure to submit your plot with /plot done when you're finished, so that we can find it for judging! Oh, and we'll be judging based on creativity, originality, and design.
So, what are you waiting for?! Get out there and build something awesome!

Hi Creeperking914, sometimes the application form doesn't load if you haven't been active on the forums much, if you are wanting to apply for a staff role, right now it would be best to do so via the talk to an owner board. Some of the things that we do look for in our staff ranks is activity both on the forums and servers, knowledge of the game and willingness to learn. 
If I misinterpreted and you were looking to apply to join the server, then just pop on, it is an open server! play.pickaxis.com is the IP

From now until Monday, February 20th, let your creative juices flow! You can jump right in onto the build contest server (/server buildcontest), claim a plot (/plot auto), build something awesome, then submit it (/plot done) before building ends on the 20th! We'll announce the winners shortly afterwards.
Now what is in it for you, I hear? Check out the prizes below:
1st place
30 Coins 2nd place
20 Coins 3rd place
10 Coins And of course, don't forget you can show those you love around you how many blocks they are worth in your heart!  Teams can split the prize and glory!
So, let's talk rules.  Yeah, we've gotta... I'll make this quick.  First, don't go off and build anything inappropriate or offensive!  I don't want to end up having to disqualify R-rated builds.  Second, be sure to make the build as creative as possible!  Finally, be sure to submit your plot with /plot done when you're finished, so that we can find it for judging!  Oh, and we'll be judging based on creativity, originality, and design.
So what are you waiting for?!  Get out there and build something awesome!

I like this idea.

Hey guys,

Currently we have the following perks:
Recipe - lets you see how to craft items Virtual Workbench - use /wb to open up an invisible workbench wherever you are Teleport Here Request - Allows you to use /tpahere Stack - Stacks your items past they defaults Virtual Ender Chest - Same as workbench but storage! Fly - 45 minutes (or currently until you log off) with /fly 5 Identity Tomes Back - allows you to use /back  
Put your suggestions below! If you want to also add what amount of tokens you think it is worth.
 
Suggested Perks (let us know if you want any of these suggested ones)
Additional /sethome - Max 10 for 200 tokens each +1 Additional towny plots +1 Perma fly 10,000 tokens Cash for tokens (maybe 10 tokens = $20) +1 24 hour Fly Cash for tokens only when all other perks bought  

Thanks to @ZTolerance and @SheTolerance for putting this event together, as well as everyone else who helped out and joined in to make it an awesome and enjoyable weekend!

I know this has been delayed a bit but I thought I would put up a little post to let you all know how the weekend event went and to officially announce the winners of the events. Before I do any of that I would like to thank all of you that turned up and took part, you really made the weekend worth it especially as there was quite a good mix of new and old faces which is always excellent!
A lot of the events we tried for the first time and I would love feedback from you all on what was good/bad/could be improved on so we can make future events better for you all!
Some of the big shoutouts for me is for the following: @adensem for helping with the streaming, @pyrolily for the builds, @NickG365 for being the awesome guy he is and @SheTolerance for all the hard work she put in trying to make sure it was ready for you all!
So, time for the day one winners:
 
Skyblock PvP
@killaboymol came in first place with a 100% kill record and over 10 kills in various game modes
 
Parkour
@vertigolf finally completed his own course in one go and was the first to do so, @TheLavaMobGuy was extremely persistent and came ever so close so definitely deserves honourable mentions for that!
 
Now it is time for day two winners!
 
Sheep Herding
We had a 3 way tie on this event mainly due to time constraints and that was @adensem, @JasonPrimate and @perplecraze1 it was a lot of fun watching you all try and guide those sheep!
Your prize is various baaaaaaaaaaaad gifts  plus some other rewards that have already been given! Congratulations and thanks for all that joined!
 
Survival PvP 
Yet again @killaboymol owned the PvP arena with @JasonPrimate winning a round and ending up in second place well done!
 
Spleef
This was an interesting event but a real pain to reset! In the two rounds @c_rex101 won one round with @ekhosonix winning the second so well done guys!
I hope you enjoy your slime for the win guys, it was a good fight!
 
Day 3 winners!
 
Survival Games
Can you guess who won in the mayhem that was the hunger games? Yes, you have it right it was @killaboymol with @Gsdcs coming in second place! If she didn't run away as much she could have actually won!

There were 4 winners overall on this event and they were @JasonPrimate, @killaboymol, @Gsdcs and @adensem congratulations on the amazing wins guys!
You will get some special gift from myself shortly guys, enjoy!
Build Contest
Due to a few difficulties there were no real one stand out winner so well done to everyone that took part and for those that are americans, please learn what independance day is actually about, the second event could have been better!!!
 
UHC
This event finished off the weekend and it was a long one but as with all the previous PvP events, @killaboymol won it quite unanimously!
 
 
MVP
Ok so considering the sheer domience in the PvP rounds and attending majority of the weekend I would like to thank @killaboymol for the performance and as such he has a special set of gear to celebrate the PvP awesomeness!
 
Whilst it was a lot of work to try and keep it organised it was worth it for the fun that resulted so again thank you all for coming and making the weekend as great as it was. Special mention goes out to @Gsdcs from me for helping to corral the PvP players on day 1 and issuing gear as well as her comment on my stream that made me blush!

Add them here! @ApTV

Hyyyypppeeee

Yay! I can't wait! (especially since it's so close to my birthday)

 
My Fellow Pickaxians, 
The time has come for us to celebrate the independence of diamonds, cobble and zombie flesh, well drop them from above.
There will be a weekend packed with events that will of course include our famous drop parties on both Skyblock and Survival, we know how much you love them!
The times and dates will be:
Skyblock drop party - Saturday 2nd July - 10pm (BST)  5pm (ET) 3pm (MDT) 9am (NZST)
Survival Drop Party - Sunday 3rd July - 10pm (BST) 5pm (ET) 3pm (MDT) 9am (NZST)
Other times for games and events will be announced shortly.
Now for your job:
We need donations. The more we have the longer the party will be! The more stackable items the longer the party will be. 
With your help we can make this the best drop party ever! 
 

I'm not sure...
It's a good idea but would it really suit the peaceful atmosphere of pickaxis survival?

just what I was saying before I read this reply. Turn hardcore into PVP and Towny and leave survival as it is then the players have the opportunity to go between the two and it could work

Emeralds can be sold in the black market and there are quite a few player shops which buy/sell almost everything. The two prominent ones are at Excelsior and Unimart which can be accessed at the following:
 
/t spawn Excelsior
/t spawn Unimart

Dear Nick/Husker
I believe that a player should be able to transfer a certain amount of tokens to a single coin. The reason I believe this is because since you get tokens by voting and voting helps the server grow on the charts, that an amount of about 500 tokens should be able to be turned into a coin. Because either you donate or just vote, you are still helping the server grow. And if 500 tokens turn into 1 coin, then it would take 10 days of voting for a coin, 100 days for iron, and 200 for the other ranks. 
Sincerely 
C_rex101
P.S. i thought it would be fun to make this in letter form so i did.

Sith Temple sounds like a good one!

This plugin transfers your Xp into XPBottles, I believe this plugin will help many specially those that don't have an Xp Farm or those are are willing to pay a little cash to enchant an item. I will be leaving the website for those are are interested in the plugin. I  appreciate  everyone for taking the time to read this topic.
