The haunted houses were sure scary! Good work building things that made us want to cry in fear. After carefully taking stairs and falling into more than one lava pit, the entries have been judged. Congrats to the winners!



And finally, all participants who finalized their plots with /plot done will receive 100 tokens.

Thanks to everyone who took part in creating some really scary builds for this contest! (Share some of your candy with Husker!)

It's that time of year again: the SPOOKY time! We want to see what spooky means to you, in the form of a haunted house.

Build something that will scare us. Use redstone to make things pop out as you walk past or a house with a maze for a basement. Use your imagination to wow us. The more details, the better.

How to enter:

Anyone wishing to enter as a contestant should claim a plot in the Build Contest server (/server buildcontest), accessible from the main Hub. Players can build with other people, but if that build wins a prize, contributing players must split the prize.

When to build:

Contestants will have from October 16th until October 28th at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

Announcing the winners:

The winners will be announced within a few days after the contest closes.

Prizes: 1st Place = $50 store credit 2nd Place = $30 store credit 3rd Place = $30 store credit Official Rules: Builds cannot be offensive. Any build found to be offensive will be deleted & that player disqualified. All builds must be Haunted House themed. What you build is up to you. All builds, to be considered as an official entry, must be marked completed using the command /plot done. Criteria for judging, based on a 10-point scale, are as follows: Creativity, Originality, Theme Fit, & Design. Point totals from judging will not be made public. Tips for Success: To get started & to find your plot, perform the command /plot auto. If your entry requires elements not set as the default environment in the server, please post it on a sign for the judges to see. If there is part of your entry that requires interaction or is hidden, please post it on a sign for the judges to see (Ex: redstone, hidden cave) All features of the Creative server are enabled, including WorldEdit, redstone functionality, and block falling physics.

We hope you enjoyed the temporary challenges we've had all year. I apologize for missing September's challenges. My schedule is to blame for that. In return, I hope you enjoy the 6 Halloween challenges we have for October.
Also, you voted and chose to resurrect the GoGreen challenge (from June) permanently. It is now a permanent part of the Special challenges on Skyblock.
Here are October's 6 new temporary challenges:

Do you like the special Halloween challenges?
Are you happy GoGreen is back?
Have ideas for November's challenges?
Let us know in the comments.

Well After three or four months of some good solitude from minecraft, I think I might, just might, come back. A ray of hope has come. I've found the gold at the end of the rainbow. I shot the leprechaun. oops. (no need to panic, not really...) Since the game first came out I was addicted to it. It was a problem, and I wouldn't admit to myself yet knew it. So the Problem grew and grew, so finally I just needed to rid myself of that problem completely. (Yeah.. Ik.. a 5 year problem... don't judge me;) I know you're addicted to...) I'm hoping now, I can control myself from the urge to play, and just get on a few times here and there, finishing my school first. (I'm Home-schooled so the darn game was sitting in front of me for 8 hours, what was I supposed to do, do my school...) Of course I'm totally going to change my name. How lame is turtle90... Yeah. its needs a capital letter duh. Turtle90. Now thats more like it;) So anyway that's my plan, and hopefully all pans out well, I get the game again and taa-daa. No guarantees, but its a plan alright!  Hope to see you all soon! 

two days left!!!! I am so excited

Hey guys,
 
As many of you know I, in the past, have made enderman farms in the end after the monthly reset. I just wondered how everyone feels about this, how much they were used and if it is work carrying on doing.
 
So I have a couple of questions:
 
Did you like that we had a community farm?
 
Did you use the farm?
 
Would you like me to build another enderman farm when the end resets?
 
Would you like to build a community farm? (enderman, blaze, wither, gold)
 
I'm interested to hear your feedback
 
Thanks
 
Clare

-Promote Untypical to Gopher (as in go pher this, go for that)
-Create an army of minions that will be able to work on projects while you are at work
-Monthly challenges on survival like on sky block???
-Fly to Untypical's house and check out her new furniture! (also be fed amazing food that Untypical will cook so that she is not cooking for herself)

-Temp ban anyone who votes more then Untypical so that she can get Coins to be obsidian rank
-Forum page of "who's who, Staff and what they do" (understandable potential issues when it comes to stating who all staff is, but it would be important to have an easy access break down of what each staff member can and can't do. Also what does the TV mean in front of some people's name ect. ect.)

Almost time for voting to close, 12 more hours! 
unedited from last party

-  Re-sacrifice Bill just for fun :: Don't want to drive him away!
- Promote Meg to Sexy Beast :: Gosh, these internal server errors just don't let me do anything fun
- Eventually add the ability to reset challenges on Skyblock (Skygrid is obvi most important though) :: We're going to switch to a new system to do challenges here very soon. This may be an option once we do that. I'll put it on my list to remind me to ask Nick about it.
- Is color chat an option in game? Or the ability to have colored text on the website? Or would that be too annoying to see? :: In game it's possible and we once had it. We made our own chat plugin recently and still need to add that ability to it. I'll add it to our long-term to-do list.
- Let Meg know if she can help in any way     :: Take a look at the to-do list.  If there's anything you ever want to take off the list, just holla.  I'll give you what you need to help.  Thank you!
- Add recipe to Skyblock (a new token or rank perk maybe?) :: Added to my list.
- Add more options for purchase in token shop (maybe some tools, like a God pick) :: Send me, privately if possible, your list of what should be in the token shop. I would love your brain power to help come up with ideas.
- Mail Meg a new, working ankle :: Already been on the wait list for years. They seem to have a shortage. :'(
 
THANK YOU!

I'm done.

All I can think of for now! But I'll be back!  

Only adding Skygrid matters the most....

can i bring my vodka bottles?

This is my to-do list. Feel free to add recommendations to it. The things on the list are for me to explore doing, not guaranteed to happen. 
 
The purpose of this list serves 3 needs:
1) To help me remember what to do
2) For your visibility
3) For you to help contribute ideas
 
 
Husker's To-Do's:
 
 
Husker's To-Done's:

#1 - you get tokens, and what do tokens make.... cool things! You can get 50 tokens each day which can be spent on survival skyblock, skywars for cool perks. Just do /shop and see what you can save up for....
 
So you have purchased all of the perks over all servers?
 
#2 - the top 3 voters each month get a cash reward to spend on the server to buy ranks. 
 
What? So you have obsidian rank across all of the servers? You have everything you could possibly need and the tokens are just building up?
 
#3 Keep voting to support this awesome server. A lot of blood sweat and tears go into making this server as great as it is and we all want to make it bigger and better. Voting pushes us up the ranks and the higher we get the more players we can get. 
 
Pickaxes is nothing without all you amazing players. We love each and everyone of you and we hope you love us back!
 
 
Click here and show us your love. 
 
 

**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!!!!!
